Daily Sunshine! Kid Smoothies - YES!

What is Daily Sunshine?

Daily Sunshine (available in Chocolate  and Strawberry Banana is a premium 3-in-1 healthy smoothie that was designed and formulated for kids. In addition to a kid-approved taste, it provides the building blocks of nutrition that kids need every day-whole-food based fruit and veggie blend, plant-based protein, and healthy fats. It's also a wholesome, healthy snack for adults!

I was lucky enough to get a sample pack when I was in New Orleans for my Coach Summit! I was totally thrilled to try this!! My kids are ALWAYS into my shakes and you know what, even though I don't mind, they tend to leave 1/2 drank shakes around my house!

That stuff is GOLD and I am not a fan of waste!! I tell them 100 times to only use 1/2  a scoop and NOPE.  But a shake that is all theirs? Yes!! I'm game BUT how will they really like it??

My 9 year old daughter reviewed BOTH- which we be ordering?

DAILY SUNSHINE MEDICAL CONCERNS

Anyone with questions about whether using Daily Sunshine is right for them should consult their doctor.

INGREDIENTS

Why is stevia present in Daily Sunshine? Stevia is a plant-based sweetener; no artificial sweeteners are used in Daily Sunshine.

Why are there slight differences in vitamin/mineral levels among flavors? There are slight differences due to flavor-specific ingredients.

Can specific amounts of individual ingredients be obtained? No. The specific amounts of ingredients in Daily Sunshine are proprietary to Beachbody but the Nutrition Facts box on the label provides the key nutrition information you need to make good food choices.

Does Daily Sunshine contain caffeine? Chocolate Flavor Daily Sunshine has organic cocoa powder and natural chocolate flavor. Because caffeine is a constituent of cocoa and chocolate, Daily Sunshine may also have some caffeine—but in very small amounts. To put this into perspective, according to the USDA, a cup of hot chocolate (made from cocoa) contains 5mg of caffeine. A cup of brewed coffee contains 95mg of caffeine. If you have concerns about low levels of caffeine, you may want to use Strawberry Banana Flavor Daily Sunshine.

DAILY SUNSHINE MEDICAL CONCERNS

Anyone with questions about whether using Daily Sunshine is right for them should consult their doctor.

Is Daily Sunshine safe for pregnant/nursing women? Daily Sunshine was not specifically formulated for pregnant or breastfeeding women. So as with any other food or supplement, pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should always first consult with their physician to address their specific needs, especially since each pregnancy is unique for the mother and developing baby.

What is the minimum age recommended for Daily Sunshine? 4 years of age and up.

What issues might first time users' experience? Daily Sunshine is a food with all the ingredients Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS). The ingredients do not include any top allergens. We do not foresee any ingredient related side effects, medical or nutritional concerns.

Does Daily Sunshine Contain Any Nuts?

There are no peanut or tree nut ingredients in Daily Sunshine and we take significant precautions to prevent any nut-based ingredients from being included in the product. In addition, we follow strict FDA Good Manufacturing Practices in creating Daily Sunshine, which includes thorough cleaning and sanitation of all equipment and surfaces the product comes in contact with prior to producing Daily Sunshine.However, because some consumers may have extremely sensitive reactions to major allergens, such as tree nuts, Beachbody wants to be as transparent as possible. This is why we include a statement which you will see on many food products today, that Daily Sunshine is made in a plant that also processes eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, & wheat ingredients. We do this so that anybody who has an extreme reaction to any of the listed ingredients should have as much information as possible and if they have concerns, to first consult with their physician before trying a new product.

Daily Sunshine vs. Shakeology

Can I drink Daily Sunshine and Shakeology?

Yes! For example, adults can start their day with Shakeology, then drink Daily Sunshine as a healthy afternoon snack.

While we recommend drinking both Shakeology and Daily Sunshine once daily, you may choose to drink another serving based on your nutritional goals.


How Much Protein Does Each Smoothie Contain?

Daily Sunshine has 10 grams of plant-based protein, which is approximately the same amount as a glass of low-fat milk or a couple eggs.

Shakeology has 16 to 17 grams of protein, either from whey isolate and plant-based protein sources or exclusively from plant-based protein sources in our vegan flavors.


How Many Calories Are in Each?

Daily Sunshine contains 120 calories per serving.

Shakeology contains 140-170 calories, depending on the flavor.


Why Are the Container Equivalents Different?

Daily Sunshine counts as ½ green, ½ purple, and ½ red, while Shakeology counts as 1 red.

Shakeology is an “excellent” source of protein as it contains between 16 and 17 grams of protein, and between 140 to 170 calories per serving, depending on the flavor. This makes it perfect for one red container.

It also has a vast array of other nutrients, but given how wide-ranging and exotic they are, they don’t fit as neatly into a specific container.

Daily Sunshine contains less protein (10 grams), which is considered a “good” source, so ½ red makes sense. It also delivers the equivalent of a full serving of fruits and vegetables based on USDA guidelines.†

Because this is done using combination of both fruits and veggies, the most accurate representation is ½ purple and ½ green.

†Concentrated powder equivalent to 1 full serving of fruits and vegetables. 5/8 serving of fruit (Chocolate – 4.45 g dried apple, strawberry, and blueberry powders) (Strawberry Banana – 4.5 g dried apple, strawberry, banana, and blueberry powders) and 3/8 serving of veggies (1.95 g dried sweet potato and spinach powders) per smoothie. Each 28 g serving provides the equivalent of ½ cup fruits and vegetables (volume before drying).


They Both Contain Whole Food-Based Ingredients

The organic whole fruits and vegetables that we put in Daily Sunshine are first inspected and cleaned, then pureed, strained, dried, and ground to a powder. That’s how we deliver whole food ingredients in a healthy, delicious smoothie every day.

Yes, the Shakeology philosophy is to use ingredients that are as close to their natural, whole-food state as possible to help maximize nutrition and still make it convenient so that it can be enjoyed on a daily basis. As a result, Shakeology includes many incredible whole food-based ingredients from around the world that provide a wealth of superfood nutrition all in one shake.


Daily Sunshine and Shakeology Are Both Vegan

Both Chocolate and Strawberry Banana Daily Sunshine are vegan, soy-free, and dairy-free.

Shakeology has four vegan flavors that are also dairy-free and formulated without soy: Chocolate, Tropical Strawberry, Café Latte, and Vanilla.


They’re Both Gluten-Free

Daily Sunshine meets the gluten-free definition set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which sets a gluten limit of less than 20 parts per million (ppm) for foods labeled “gluten-free.”

This limit was established by the FDA since it stated that “most people with celiac disease can tolerate foods with very small amounts of gluten.”

Shakeology is formulated without gluten ingredients.


Are They Both Certified Organic?

Daily Sunshine is made with organic fruits and vegetables, and organic pea protein as certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI), a USDA-accredited organic product certifying agency.

Due to Shakeology’s global sourcing, certifying every exotic ingredient is very complex. However, the possibility of a completely organic Shakeology is being researched. Stay tuned!

Top Team Coach Summit 2017: New Orleans!

Coach Summit was in New Orleans this year!! The BIG EASY BABY!

It was amazing! This is my 3rd Coach Summit since I became  a Coach in 2014! Another EPIC year and event!  I went to Nashville for the past 2 years and this years but this year we were in New Orleans! What an amazing city an an epic venue for this years Conference and Celebration!

Fun, networking, opportunities to learn and grow.  Super workouts with celebrity trainers and more!

What is Summit?

Its basically like our Super Bowl!! Once a year, when all the Coaches in the company come together to attend an epic 3 Day event and Conference that celebrates our achievements in the business as well as gives us a chance to network and meet others coaches we work and team up with!

Summit Nashville 2015

My first summit was in 2015, I was just a coach for 10 months and I was ready! I was a brand new Diamond Coach in my first 3 months of coaching because I advanced rank during a rank push group! The Push group is something that helps you challenge you to goal set and push outside of your comfort zone!  For me that is EXACTLY what I needed to help me focus and actually have confidence in myself.  I could not wait to soak up the accomplishments WE had made as a team.  Our team was the number one team in the company that year for the FIRST TIME! iI was really proud of that goal because I was part of it! My Coach - was awarded Top Coach for the first time!

I was truly honored to stand beside her with our team as we celebrated on stage that first year!

Me and my team The Dream Team in 2015

Summit Nashville 2016 

I was so excited! My second Summit and I still had that fire!! I knew what I was in for and I wanted to take it all in.  I listened to all the speakers at the general sessions and the workshops and thought to myself.  Why NOT me? What is it they are doing that I can't?

There were all kinds of people from all walks of life.  Lawyers, stay at home mom's, physical therapists, HR Leaders like myself, independent business owners there was not set demographic for what made a GOOD Coach.  Some worked at this part time or full time, it didn't matter. they made it their own. I had been working my part time job in HR Leadership and Coaching on the side as a hobby, however,

I started to thing about what the possibilities could really mean for me.  I could actually create a new possibility for myself.  A new potential full time career?

I made sure I was at the front of the room every single session workshop and general session.   I wanted to soak it all in! I was inspired by all these different people that made this a reality in their lives.  “If they can do it, why can’t I.”

I started to push a little harder and set some stretch goals for myself like leaving my full time job to have the flexibility to coach full time.   I had no idea what I was doing but I had the drive, to make it happen, and the determination to meet my goal.

Some of those barriers included I had a lot more to learn about social media, I was not at my goal weight.  There were definitely people close to me that didn't believe in me at the beginning.  Many thought I would fail or that this was a passing phase.  Instead of listening to all that noise, I just filled my cup every day through personal development which meant lots of books, audio books and pod casts.  There was an almost immediate change in me! I needed to develop the skills it would take to build a business, leadership and create a following in my business.  I learned to Goggle what I didn't know or watch it on YouTube.  My up line had trainings available too so I would participate in everything I could!

I put my head down and worked.  I had a plan and I knew it would take consistency and hard work to achieve it.  I was 100% on board

Summit New Orleans 2017 This Year!

In 2017 I was a Success Club 5 Legend for the very first time! That was definitely an amazing experience. We are given extra rewards, access to events early and more. My hard work and consistency paid off.  But the thing is its all because I decided to stop listening to the nay sayers and believe in MYSELF! To actually follow thru with that crazy voice in my heart that told me it is possible!

The thing is, I was working full time in a Human Resource Leadership role, building a business on the side for about 2.5 years.  I attended this years Summit as a Full Time Coach! Yes I RETIRED myself from 23 years of a corporate career like I had planned just one year earlier! That is what made this year that much sweater but my GOALS for next year that much BIGGER!

Seeing my name on this board meant alot!! Over 32 months setting a benchmark for myself and CRUSHING it every single month! It was a personal goal I set for myself that translates into hundreds of people that were helped to reach THEIR goals! 

It was so amazing  and inspirational, like it is every single year!  The training at summit was incredible and I can say that I am just beyond fired up for all the new product launches to come!

 Team Beachbody never ceases to amaze me with their product development, their innovations and their future plans for the company! Its hard NOT to get fired up when you have all this amazing energy around you! If you have never experienced it I highly recommend it!

For 2 1/2 days we get to workout with the trainers, Autumn Calabrese, Tony Horton, Chris Downing, Shaun T and more! Plus we attend trainings with Keynote Speakers and Top Leaders to help advance our business and leadership skills.

The parties are amazing they know how to treat us! The Success Club party was amazing and held at Mardi Gras World on the river.  This is where they house all the floats for the Mardi Gras parades! They create them all year long- this place was off the HOOK! 

Live bands and the who's who of Beachbody mingled and partied in this amazing venue that seemed to never end!! Oh and the Fireworks!  Yep they had fireworks too!! Its really a surreal event every year.  I always wonder how they will top it! 

The Summit Celebration 2017

Once again we were announced as the Top Team in Beachbody 3 years running! My mentor and Coach, Melanie Mitro the Top Coach!!

We had the chance to walk the stage again this year which was so amazing to me.  I know this has been a blessing in my life but to be surrounded by and to have my own success in this business is pretty amazing to me.

I dreamed for this and worked for it, so to have it become reality was just a banner moment.  And I still have more to do!!

 Post party and freinds! One of my favorite parts of Summit is hanigng with my freinds that I work with on line but do not see in person but a few times a year!!

Why not YOU!
