The Smith's Isagenix Life

Goodbye brain fog.

Hello FOCUS!

These little beauties are essential in our lives. We're busy. We have to stay organised and productive.

The Adaptogen Elixir will help you do just that.

Thank you Isagenix for making us more patient parents 🙏

Mister M is 5 years old and suffers from eczema.

After researching the benefits of collagen I gave him one bottle a day for 30 days.

No more eczema.

Now I give him one or two a week just for good measure. Still no eczema.

His eczema wasn't terrible but it was enough to send him a little mad with scratching all over at bedtime. It's hard for a parent to watch.

The Isagenix collagen comes in liquid form and has a sweet flavour so it's easy for everyone to consume.

Isagenix in no way claims to cure any medical conditions.

My experience with their liquid collagen is just that, my experience and will not necessarily work for you the same way.

How we start every day.

The lighter ones are the Natural Acceleraters.
These work to boost your metabolism.
Key ingredient: Vitamin B3 which helps the body use proteins and fats and promotes an overall healthier nervous system.

The darker ones are the Ageless Actives.
They support health at a cellular level.
Key ingredient: Vitamin D3 which is important for a healthy heart and blood vessels. Studies show it may also help to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure - the two main risk factors for heart attack.

On the weekends we might like a treat or just to have some family time around the breakfast table.

These banana protein pancakes are a winner every time.

Ingredients:
1 x ripe banana
1 x egg
1 x cup gluten free self raising flour
1 x cup full cream milk
2 x scoops vanilla protein powder

A couple of notes:
I need to feed 6 (including three teenagers) so I will often double or triple this recipe. The ratio stays the same. Adjust to your liking depending on the number of mouths!

I use gluten free flour because I have coeliac disease. You can of course swap it for wheat flour.

I will sometimes use the chocolate protein powder too. The flavour is devine and not too sweet. The little one LOVES the chocolate pancake option and I can let him eat to his hearts content knowing there's no added sugar or nasties.

The protein powder can make the mix a little gluey so add more milk or water to loosen if required.

I spray a little olive oil in the pan to fry but will work fine without it in a non stick pan.

Need to be eaten same day or they go a bit hard and dry.

Let me know if you try these and what you think!

The standard shake flavours with Isagenix are chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, choc mint and AMAZINGLY we now have banana in the permanent range as well!

We like to mix things up sometimes so we add flavours together and sometimes extras.

We like to add strawberry and vanilla to make strawberries and cream.
We like to add strawberry and chocolate to make cherry ripe.

We like to add blueberries to either chocolate or vanilla to make a smoothie.
We like to add powdered peanuts to chocolate to make snickers.
We like to add powdered peanuts to banana to make a banana split.
We add a shot of espresso to vanilla to make a coffee frappe.
We add a shot of espresso to chocolate to make mocha.

The options are endless and the shake flavours never get boring!

I should note though that adding extras changes both the calorie consumption and macro breakdown of the shake and this may or may not be appropriate for you depending on your goals 🥰

YUM YUM AND YUM!

Yes! You can have coffee using the Isagenix nutrition system! You're welcome! 🥰

There are some exceptions to this though. Generally we recommend no coffee in your first 30 days. This is when we're trying to remove toxins and yuckiness from your body.

Chances are you're body is highly acidic if you're carrying extra weight or having health issues so we want to really focus on moving your body from acid to alkaline.

Coffee has high acid so will work against this process.

We have other options for energy though! For example, there are many Isagenix products which will give you that boost without harming your results or there's things like good old green tea!

You won't even miss the coffee, we got you!

A typical day for the Smith's using the Isagenix nutrition system.

First thing upon waking: supplements to boost metabolism and support health at a cellular level PLUS a tonic for energy

7am: shake and supplements for brain health PLUS a tonic for stress management

10am: 200 calorie snack

12pm: shake or 400-600 calorie meal

3pm: 200 calorie snack

6pm: shake or 400-600 calorie meal

8.30pm: supplements to support balanced digestive function

We change up this basic plan depending on what we're trying to achieve. We mix it up slightly for fat loss and depending on our exercise for the day.

We don't do starving 😂 but fat loss is all about calorie deficit so really it's about what's more important - that extra snack or fitting into your jeans again 🤷🏼‍♀️

Notice I refer to fat loss over weight loss. I do not rely on the scales wholely and souly. Women especially have too many variables like time of month and water retention.

I say forget the scale. Focus on the nutrition system and moving your butt and the results will come!

Hello!

I'm Sarah Smith.

I'm a nationally recognised Nutritionist and Health and Wellness Coach.

I am the main contributor to this page so I wanted to introduce myself and welcome you personally!

I live and breathe the Isagenix nutrition system. I created this page to showcase not only Isagenix products but also how we use them as a family to optimise our health, energy and stress levels.

My daughter (Miss M) and I have started the Isagenix 16 week challenge today. I will be documenting our journey so you can get a feel for the program and see what can be achieved both physically and mentally.

Isagenix is NOT just another shake diet. It's a complete nutrition system that leaves you feeling incredible inside and out. You'll see what I mean when you try it for yourself!

So buckle up and follow along our journey. I hope you learn something of value and if you have any questions, reach out 😊
