Hormone Reset Shake Recipes

Hello friends!

After winter the hubs and I both have our winter weight that we are looking to melt away. I also have some hormonal issues as well as food allergies that make dieting a little tricky. I did read "The Hormone Reset Diet" by Sara Gottfried.

It was a good read. A lot of insight into 7 hormones that can really mess with your energy levels and weight loss. I wanted to try it because of my history with out of whack hormones. The hubs wanted to try it because Dr. Sara states on the cover that you can lose 15 pounds in 21 days. 

The book takes you through the 7 stages of reset for each hormone, and a big part of the diet are protein shakes. But you cannot have whey or grains on the diet so my search for an acceptable, yummy, and less expensive option was on. Dr. Sara sells a shake mix on her website, but its almost $70 for 30 servings. Of course I wanted to find a more frugal deal! 

After much research the best item I could find was cheapest on Amazon: Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Raw Vegan Protein. It comes in Natural, Vanilla, or Chocolate. It is sweetened with Stevia and is very high in protein and low carb. I love that it is so easy to make and to add other items to. Tastes yummy too! It currently costs $41.61 for a carton that has about 40 servings. It's the frugal choice!

The following are a few of our favorite recipes. Please note that on the later stages of the diet you cannot have fruit until you add it back in at a later time. The mix still tastes yummy mixed blended with some nut milk and some ice.

I am not an Egyptian - An Introduction

I grew up listening to the Bangles, and yes, I did try to walk like an Egyptian. But when it comes to my health and well-being I am not a huge fan of the Pyramid schemes. Vitamins, essential oils, shakes, and many other items are marketed in such a way that quite frankly disgust me. They use scare tactics that force people who are looking for healthier options into breaking the bank to try and lead a healthy life. I am all for health and well-being, and I am no expert by any means. I thought it might be nice to share my thoughts, findings, and recipes in a blog format that do not link to overpriced health items or discounts if you sign up to sell under me. Personally, I think with a little research and a good dose of common sense you can find better options that are financially less of a burden.

A little background, I am 35 years old, I am married and we have two very spoiled wiener dogs. I have battled with some frustrating health issues. I am of the mindset that I would much rather heal things naturally if possible, but I am not against the Medical Profession. I try my hardest to avoid having to use their talents for the most part. We are not wealthy, and work hard to make ends meet. Coming from a large family my Mother raised me to have a frugal eye. I have always searched for the best prices and enjoy sharing my finds with others. My goal with this site is to help other frugal minded individuals in their search for healthy items and share my research.
