Tastes of the Carmichael Casa

Ever tried to "eat healthy" and simply feel deprived, like it is impossible at social functions or like any healthy recipe is hard, perhaps time-consuming, or simply too risky to try? Yup, me too. 

When we decided last June that we had to make changes, we also knew we needed some balance. Like most people, life is crazy, we are on the go, and need a lifestyle that works for us. 

Thankfully, through the Shred 10, we have developed healthy habits that are practical, sustainable and affordable. We have a JuicePlus Complete shake every day. During the shred, we have two. When we started using the Complete plant powder, I knew we could do more than make shakes with it.  I was hesitant, and frankly, making the time to try new recipes wasn't at the top of my priority list. But, one morning, Tyler made pancakes with the complete. It inspired me to try some muffins I had seen a recipe for. And then Pinterest happened, which led to Complete Cookie Dough, Complete Banana Chocolate Crumble, Complete Power Balls and Complete Pudding

I'm posting some recipes here. There are even more in our JuicePlus Community page. Most of them take minimal effort and minimal ingredients. We make them for social gatherings, pack them as snacks for outings and Tyler even uses them to help fuel the athletes he works with. As a Mom, I'm relieved and thankful to have plant-packed options for my kids, family and friends. Give them a try. Tell us what you think.
