Almond Joy Protein Shake ~instead of the candy!

It's that time of year where most people achieve weight gain due to one thing, not being mindful!!  
Don't fall into all the candy snacking because everyone else is!  Dare to be different and stay on track!

Instead of the candy...  drink a YUMMY & HEALTHY Arbonne protein shake to cut the cravings and beat the downward spiral!

ALMOND JOY PROTEIN SHAKE 

1 scoop Arbonne Chocolate Protein Powder
 1 scoop Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder
 1 scoop Arbonne Fiber Boost
 ¼ cup raw organic almonds OR 2 tablespoons raw organic natural almond butter
 ¼ teaspoon organic coconut extract
 1 cup organic original unsweetened coconut milk
 Ice

Just a TIP of mindful thinking:
In the Fall, when the leaves start to turn, we tend to FALL into indulgences and lose control.  Stay in control and be mindful of the excuses we start feeding ourselves!  The candy in October tips off the spiral of stinkin thinking ...ya know all those reasons we tell our self, it's ok to eat unhealthy this month but really ends up being...October - December AKA the downward spiral.

Here is an example of the stinkin thinkin and downward spiral we create for ourselves = Excuses:

October Stinkin Thinkin: Halloween candy and Fall comfort foods and drinking kicks off PLUS Football games etc = social   
November Stinkin Thinkin: - Oh well its Thanksgiving, next month.  
December Stinkin Thinkin: oh well it the holidays, I have all these social parties and festivities with friends, co-workers and family, next month!  
Come January, we feel like CRAP and have gained 10+ pounds!  

Be mindful and stay in control using better choices!  Come January, you will be glad you did!
