Hemp Milk is by far my favorite non dairy milk, and this time I added an extra yummy twist! One of the reasons I love raw Hemp Seeds so much is the incredible nutrition they have. Pairing them with Cinnamon Bark Young Living Vitality EO is just BOOM! One cup of this milk has 10 grams of complete protein! Check out the nutritional label! Holy Moly! The only ingredient is Raw Hemp Seeds so this is just simply a nutritional healing powerhouse! 


Your Recipe 

Ingredients:


1 cup of filtered water, 3 Tablespoons of Raw Hemp Seeds, and ONE drop of Cinnamon Vitality Essential Oil  for each cup of milk you would like to make .

Directions: 


Blend the ingredients in a high speed blender for 1-2 minutes

Tip: 


You can keep it the way it is or strain it because it can have little bits left . I personally leave it exactly the way it is to get the most nutrition possible out of it . It's my philosophy to eat everything as whole and as close to nature as possible .

Store in a glass milk jar or a mason jar

Store up to 3 days  ( I make small batches at a time )

For an amazing complete meal you can put it in the blender with one cup of spinach, one banana, and one cup of frozen berries of your choice ! I love Strawberries!

    Beat the Bedtime Blahs: Seven Tips for a Better Night’s Sleep

            
    How you end the day makes all the difference. Your evening routine can either set you up for a cheerful and fulfilling day or one full of frustration and exhaustion. Here are seven steps you can take to create a successful bedtime routine that will give you more restful nights and more productive days.
    1. Set an alarm for bedtime.
      Try setting an alarm for one hour before you’d like to be settled in bed to remind you that it’s time to step out of your day and start winding down.
    1. Drink up!
      Since you end up going 6–8 hours without any liquid at all, drinking water throughout the day and before you hit the sack is essential to keeping yourself hydrated. Try adding Lavender Vitality™ essential oil to your water or herbal tea for a calming influence. Aim for an hour before bed, so you aren’t waking up in the middle of the night for a bathroom trip.
    1. Give yourself a little face time.
      Make sure to give your skin and teeth the TLC they need. Refresh and renew your face with a mild wash such as our ART® Gentle Cleanser. You should also use gentle products on your teeth that are free of synthetic dyes and fluoride such as our Thieves® AromaBright™ Toothpaste and Thieves Fresh Essence Mouthwash. Taking time to establish and follow this important hygiene ritual will help you feel fresh and relaxed before bed and can signal to your brain that it’s time to calm down.
    1. Take notes for tomorrow.
      Write down a brief game plan for a productive tomorrow. While creating your list, remember to envision the kind of day you’d like to have, how you’d like to feel, and the top priorities you’ve got in your sights. Get it down on paper and you won’t spend hours trying to fall asleep thinking about what your day might look like.
    1. Set yourself up for success.
      The night before, prepare your outfit, your breakfast and lunch, or complete other tasks you’d usually take care of in the morning. The fewer tasks looming over you, the quicker and happier you will be getting out of bed in the morning.
    1. Ditch the tech and read a book.
      The light from electronic screens can trick your mind and body into thinking it’s still light out. Try leaving technology out of your bedroom to help you shift into to a calm, relaxed, and clear state.
    1. Add essential oils to your routine.Stress Away
      Try diffusing LavenderStress Away™, or your favorite blend of essential oils with comforting aromas as you prepare for bed. Rubbing a couple drops between your palms and brushing them over your pillow can also boost the relaxing aromas and can make jumping into a cloud of pillows and blankets feel extra luxurious.
    Once you’ve worked out a routine that helps you sleep well on a regular basis, create a ritual of those steps so your body and mind is prepared for a good sleep and a successful day ahead.
