Balanced Herbal Nettle Tea Tonic.By Jackie DeKnockThis highly nutritional Nettle Tea is satisfyingly refreshing, with a mellow, rich, gentle ‘green’ flavour and a slightly bitter 'hay-like' taste (not that I make it a habit to eat hay)! Nettles are said to be deeply supportive and nurturing, both physically and emotionally, supporting our hair, nails, organs and other bodily systems. Dried Nettle leaves are full of essential minerals and vitamins, this is one of the most nourishing drinks you can drink! Nettle tea is even helpful when coping with allergies, believe it or not! Note: Nettles work well for balancing blood sugar levels for some people, however, use stinging nettles with caution if you have diabetes because of the potential that nettles may lower or may also raise blood sugar levels.

Balanced Spiced Honey Apple Cider Vinegar Blood Sugar Tonic ‘Shot’.By Jackie DeKnockYou might be wondering, who on earth would want to drink apple cider vinegar (ACV)?? I know…BUT, this ‘shot’ is delicious and ACV has a ton of benefits! Just ensure that you select ACV that is raw, unfiltered, with the ‘mother’ (the ‘mother’ is the best part, containing dozens of strains of bacteria (probiotics), as well as digestive enzymes)! Drinking a ‘shot’ daily is said to: Help balance blood sugar by blocking the absorption of starch in the body, aid in digestion by boosting the acidity and production of stomach acid, contains pectin, which also aids in digestion and has been found in a number of studies to help with weight loss, balances PH to support detoxification (the acetic acid in ACV naturally helps balance your body’s pH, this stimulates your circulation, thereby aiding your body’s detox abilities), cleanses lymph nodes to support detoxification (ACV has unique acids that act as a chelator - binding with toxins to help safely remove them from the body), rich in enzymes and nutrients (ACV is actually a nutrient powerhouse, full of enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals). Basically, you can think of these shots as a multivitamin, a digestion booster, a probiotic, and a blood sugar balancer in liquid form. Last, but not least, if you’ve been overindulgent with eating sweets or carb-heavy foods, take a few shots and it’ll help you. Need anymore reasons to drink a shot a day?!?!?! it's worth it, trust me, I drink a shot daily!

Tranquilizing Banana Cocoa Berry Bombs.By Jackie DeKnockThese ‘bombs’ are ‘the bomb,’ a completely satisfying, healthy anti-inflammatory alternative to muffins! Plus - the bananas and raw cacao powder contain the amino acid tryptophan, which gets converted to 5-HTP in the brain which in turn is converted to serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) and melatonin! Ahhh, peace out!
