Our Health Journey

When my daughter and I started Our Health Journey, we had already made a commitment to wellness. That commitment started for me when I was first introduced to Shaklee nutrition. My daughter followed soon after. At the time, we both had different missions. Mine was to regain my health and vitality and hers was to stay healthy while doing a job that demanded she be at peak performance on a daily basis for more than three years. I would compare her work schedule; the stress and the depletion of nutrients she experienced on daily basis to that of a first class athlete. She came to depend on Shaklee to repair, replace, rebuild and to help her maintain. To this day, we continue our journey and our commitment to wellness by supplementing with Shaklee, eating healthy, staying active and managing our daily activities in the least stressful way as possible.

Shaklee has also made a commitment to our wellness by staying true to their founding principles. By continuing to produce products in Harmony with Nature; Natural products, not synthetic products. They have invested over 250 million in research and development and continue to be the number one natural nutrition company in the United States.

The last few days I’ve been enjoying an afternoon glass of iced tea, made with the Shaklee Cinch Energy Tea mix - the Pomegranate flavor.

It has a nice, light, refreshing taste, but what I like best is that it doesn’t have that “artificial sweetener” taste that so many other tea mixes have. Pomegranate by itself can have a slightly sour taste, so the Pomegranate flavor Cinch Energy Tea mix is sweetened with fructose instead - a natural easy to digest sweetener that doesn’t leave any aftertaste, as does Aspartame, Saccharin, and other artificial sweeteners.

I love that it really does mix easily with cold water. I just open a stick, dump it in my bottled water from the fridge, give it a good shake, and go. Other mixes I’ve tried keep settling to the bottom, so I have to keep shaking, or I have to mix them first with hot water and then ice them down - who has time for that? Not me.

I really do like the regular unsweetened flavor of the Cinch Energy Tea mix as well - which has more of a traditional “tea” taste - but the Pomegranate flavor makes for a nice change-up now and then - keep the taste buds from getting complacent!
