my opinion

I've always been wanting to try a detoxing tea and I have to say that I was kind of scared because I didn't want to be spending a lot of time in the bathroom.  It's recommended to drink 1 cup nightly or half a cup if you're sensitive. The first night I drank half a cup. Summer has hit here so I made it at dinner and put it in the refrigerator until bedtime so it would be cold.

The flavor was a relaxing orangey cinnamon and tasted great iced. It is made with natural herbs including cinnamon, peppermint, rosehips, chamomile and others. It contains senna which helps to eliminate the toxins from your body. This is a great herbal blend, which is 100% natural, safe and effective

  Even drinking the whole cup the next night I never had to worry about having to run to the restroom. This is a very gentle detox. It's a good idea to stay hydrated to help to eliminate toxins out of your body.

  This herbal tea also could help to increase energy level, maintain a healthier digestive system and a brighter complexion. And need I say I ''feel'' lighter :)

Brighten Your Mood and Get Energized Too ! #totaltea

I drink a lot of Iced Tea and Infused Water.

Why?

Well, because it's Summer and it's hot, LOL.

And I'm trying to be healthier and cut out soda,

something I think a lot of you are trying to do out there too.

Sometimes water just doesn't cut it for me.

So when I was asked to review

Doctor Recommended Energy Tea

by Total Tea

I was curious. 

Iced Tea can cure your thirst,

but can herbal teas actually give you energy,
 boost your stamina, and supplement antioxidants?

Let me tell you, I need help in all those areas!

When I found out you can have it hot or cold, I was all in!!

My opinion

I love coffee! But lately I've noticed my stomach isn't in as love with it as I am. I love iced coffee in the morning, especially now in the Summer. But have been trying to back away from it and drinking iced tea. Don't get me wrong but I just need a boost to get going and regular tea doesn't always to the trick.

Upon opening the box of Total Tea Herbal Energy a lovely fruity fragrance wafted out. Sweet berries and a touch of cinnamon. I followed directions and made a cup, then placed it in the refrigerator for in the morning. The flavor was refreshing and tasted awesome iced. I made it through the morning with my eyes wide open, which is much better than dragging along!

When I hit that midday slump I have another glass which gives me enough energy to get through the rest of the day. I always make  sure I have some in the refrigerator so when I start to feel sluggish it's ready for me.

The health benefits of drinking green tea, especially before or after a meal, helps you rid your body of the fat you consumed during your meal and boosts your metabolism!

Yummy Vitamin D Gummy! #nutrabear

 Believe it or not, there are a lot of us walking around that don't  realize we are deficient in Vitamin D. I was so surprised last year when the results of my son's lab work came back showing his Vitamin D level was so low that he had to be put on prescription level Vitamin D.  He took 60,000 IU once weekly until his level was up to where it should be.  Our Dr. told me that can be hereditary. He then ordered lab work for my other son who also came back low in Vitamin D, not low enough to go on prescription strength but to add over the counter Vitamin D to his diet.

All of this was so unbelievable to me. They drink plenty of milk, enough that if I could I'd buy a cow! And I could swear I was taught in school that all you needed was to get 15 - 20 minutes of Sun exposure to get enough Vitamin D.  I kind of sat there stunned as he increased my intake of Vitamin D too.....

 



When I think of lack of Vitamin D, I think back to Pirate Days, why I don't know, isn't that when scurvy and rickets were around?
But it is not as uncommon as I thought it was. Very few foods naturally contain Vitamin D.

  

Thank goodness for Nutrabear! They have made Vitamin D gummy bears which are an excellent source of Vitamin D, with 800 IU per serving.  These gummy bears are 100% vegetarian, contain no gluten, gelatin, milk, eggs, peanuts or soy.  Vitamin D not only improves your bone and dental health, it helps your body's absorption of calcium, which can help you maintain stronger bones. 

These gummies are so good, a much more enjoyable, yummier alternative to taking pills or dry chewables. I wouldn't say their consistency is like gummy bears, but more like a fruit snack. Gummy bears to me are rubbery, these aren't. They are very easy to chew and are a fun and delicious way to get your daily Vitamin D.

They are perfect for adults and children, although you may find your kiddos wanting more....(you will too!)
Nutrabear has carefully chosen each ingredient to help promote a healthy mind and body. All flavors and colors are natural, made in the USA, in a GMP certified facility.
