Plexus and Keto

The Keto Diet is HUGE right now.... It's producing great results for those adhering to the program and changing lives, but did you know that Plexus is helpful even if on this diet!? Some of my friends have started it, and they love it! However, they are still taking their Plexus products, too!

Here's Why-

On a ketogenic diet, you are basically cutting out all carbohydrates and sugar. Once your body is in a state of ketosis, it is then relying on fat for energy. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, not exactly. If your body is used to high carb intake and you take those away, it's possible you might experience what is known as the keto flu 🤢. It subsides, but your body feels achy & you are fatigued and irritable.

So, here's how Plexus can help:

✅ Plexus Slim: has chromium which helps normalize blood glucose levels, reducing cravings and providing energy and less irritably as your body enters ketosis. The prebiotics, XOS, feed the butirate that we NATURALLY have in our system to help produce more fatty-chain amino acids. What does this mean for you? Your body goes into fat-burning mode more easily!! 🔥 💪🏼 AND has only 2 carbs, so it has negative net carb impact on your Keto day! 👊🏻

✅ Plexus Biocleanse: contains magnesium which will help replenish your electrolyte levels, preventing muscle cramps, headaches, and trouble sleeping. (Keto/OS actually suggests taking a magnesium supplement while using their product)

✅ Plexus ProBio5: balances your gut health. Starting a diet like this can stress your gut leading to either constipation or even upset stomach as you are introducing higher levels of fats to your body.

✅Vitalbiome: reduces bloating and gut distress, improves digestion and regularity, makes you feel calmer, and improves mood.

✅ X Factor Plus: it's sugar free which is important on a keto diet!!! It contains Aloe, which increases absorption up to 300%, allowing your body to really absorb the vitamins and minerals. It also has vitamins B and C to help beat tiredness.

Plexus is a TOOL to aid you with overall health, and to build a solid foundation, you need to use multiple tools! ☺️

Apple Crisp

I had a bunch of apples floating around and I was wondering what to make with them. Then I thought its been a while since I had apple crisp. And I knew both the boys and Jon love it. Today was a cold day but a nice one. I thought apple crisp for dessert for supper would be a great finish to our day!

The first time I made this recipe I thought it was a little crazy that there was apple juice in the recipe. I noticed that the apple juice helps makes it more syrupy. You can add it or take it out the choice is yours. 

You will need:

For Filling:

6 medium baking apples, such as Granny Smith (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)

1/2 cup apple juice 

1/4 cup sugar 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup flour

For Topping:

3/4 cup Flour

3/4 cup quick oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup  butter, melted (1 stick)

Directions

Preheat oven at 350 degrees

peel and cut up apples. Then put in bowl and mix sugar, cinnamon, and flour together and place in baking dish. Then pour in apple juice. 

then in another bowl combine flour, oats, brown sugar and butter then mix together until its like a crumble. Then spread on top of apples. 

Bake for hour. until apples are tender

Take out and let it cool a bit serve with vanilla ice cream or cool whip
