Juice Plus
With Mary Anderle
Lifestyle & Business Photography with Shannon Reece Jones Photography
If you’re like me, you can agree that finding healthy foods to serve your family (that they all like!) can be difficult. My friend, Mary, is on a mission to inspire healthier living and has some great ideas to share with us today!
Juice Plus with Mary Anderle
Mary says, “Being a mom to 3 young boys means someone is always hungry! Preparing a “graze tray” is one of my favorite ways to make snack time easier for all of us. Everyone can usually find something they like and it keeps the kids focused on the healthy choices in front of them instead of rummaging through the pantry.”
“I also love these because it’s a great way to incorporate a variety of foods and the rainbow of colors that is often missing from our diets!”
Energy Balls!
Another snack time favorite she shared was homemade energy balls! There are so many fun ways to make these but her favorite recipe tastes like a Reese’s cup!
“These are super easy to make and I love that the kids can help too. They store great in the fridge and are great for after school snacks or even to add to their lunchboxes…if they last that long!”
Energy Recipe:
3 cups rice cereal
1/2 cup Vanilla Complete
1/2 cup Chocolate Complete
2/3 cup raw honey
2/3 cup peanut butter
Mix, roll into balls, refrigerate and serve!
Popsicles!
And if your kids are like mine, they are constantly begging for popsicles and frozen treats in this summer heat!! I love how Mary made homemade popsicles as a healthier alternative for her boys.
Mary said, “We made homemade popsicles off and on but my youngest started asking for them first thing in the morning! I decided to surprise him one day with a strawberry banana Complete popsicle and felt no guilt offering it at breakfast, knowing it contained a plant protein boost with tons of plant powders. Talk about a mom win!”
Home Made Popsicle Recipe:
1 banana
handful strawberries
handful blueberries
1 scoop Vanilla Complete
6 oz almond milk
handful spinach leaves
Mix in blender and pour into popsicle molds. Freeze until ready to serve!
“Even with all these healthy ideas,” Mary said, “we know it can still be hard to bridge our families nutritional gap every single day. Did you know we are supposed to eat 7-13 servings of RAW fruits and veggies, every single day?? That increases to 16-18 servings for athletes. This was something I knew I couldn’t consistently get in my kids diets so we were thrilled to learn about and partner with a whole food nutrition company 5 years ago that addresses this exact problem!”

For The Whole Family
I love that this is a nutritional product the whole family can use! We sometimes call it a “salad in a capsule”. And they also come in a yummy chewable form for the kids (or kids at heart). The BEST part though, is that kids 4 – college age get their gummies for free!! Be sure to check with Mary to find out how you and your family can get started so that your immune systems are prepped and ready for the school year ahead.
Gummies (my kids’ fav!)
Beware – your kids won’t want to share so you better get your own! Note the toddler death grip on his “yummies”!
If you’re wondering what the “Complete” was, listed in the recipes above, you need to check out their plant protein shake mix!
Mary says, “The Complete is a total lifesaver for me. I make a shake each morning for breakfast and love that it’s also a great option for a post-workout recovery drink! My boys are obsessed too and each have their own favorites. Knowing that, in addition to their gummies, they are also getting a mix of alfafa sprouts, chickpea powder, radish sprouts, broccoli sprouts, millet, quinoa, amaranth and more each day…but think it’s chocolate milk? Pure genius.”
Tower Gardens
Another amazing product Mary offers is her vertical, aeroponic Tower Gardens. With these you’re able to easily grow your own fresh, nutrient-rich food virtually anywhere, year-round without soil. Mary pointed out that when you get kids involved in growing their own food, they want to eat it too! Some of our local schools have even gotten involved with vertical gardening to teach their students that growing their food can be easy, fun and educational!
Partnering with Juice Plus
Partnering with Juice Plus just made sense to Mary because she couldn’t help but share about these amazing products and the company’s mission with others. Mary said, “I’ve been able to find a community I didn’t even know I was missing. Not only am I passionate about introducing families to healthier options, I am passionate about helping others grow their own businesses. Whether it’s a side income or something more substantial, everyone needs a plan B. In my case, my plan B became my plan A and I plan to keep it that way!”
