Healthy Happy Hour!

Last night I hosted my first Healthy Happy Hour!  I had decided earlier that day that I was going to try and host it myself.  Not that I don't think Cindy does a good job, she is great!  But I am going to have to learn sometime and I would rather do it in front of my friends for the first time.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?  So I practiced all day.  I practiced until I knew exactly what I wanted to say.  I made a note card, and I was ready to go!  I set up the table, and I was happy!  I knew it was going to be a small crowd, I'm ok with that.  Actually I think it might be better!  The group did not know each other, but it didn't matter.  I was very happy with my presentation!  Yes, it could be better, but for my first shot I was happy with how I did.  I always want it to feel natural and that it is coming from me.  I want people to know that I really do believe in these products and I like to speak from the heart.  I never even ended up looking at my note card.

I started off with my story and how I got into the business.  I went through the details of the 30 day detox. Why the detox is important (maybe another post dedicated to this), what it does, and how I feel, etc.  I went into the RE9 as well, and Cindy had brought her cosmetics case (not pictured) which is always fun!

Then we got to the good stuff!  Sampling everything!

I had set up a pitcher of pomegranate fizz sticks, a pitcher of citrus fizz sticks, I made detox tea and put it in a carafe, and I had a bowl of fit chews.  One of my friends has had the greens balance for over a month now, and has been scared to try it!  I told her that I would try it with her at the party.  I made a cup of greens and we all tried that.  It was ok, but I wouldn't drink it on its own.  I ended up mixing it in with chocolate protein powder and everyone tried that - it is much better that way!  But I think the show stopper - every time I have a party - is the protein balls!  People LOVE these protein balls!  You can see them in the picture above, I have them on the plate in little paper cups.  I am going to share the recipe here.  They are so easy to make, only 4 ingredients, and they last forever!  You can make them into balls or put them in a pyrex and cut them into squares.  I do balls for the parties.

• 1 cup almond butter
• 2/3 cup honey (you can also use agave if you are going for vegan)
• 1 cup protein powder (I use half and half chocolate and vanilla)
• 2 cups of gluten free whole oats

I have used half chocolate and half vanilla, but I have also used all chocolate.  I like them both.  Heat the almond butter and honey in a saucepan on low heat until well combined.  Remove from heat.  Add the protein powder and mix well.  Add the oats to a separate bowl and add the protein butter mix to the oats.  You may need to mix with your hands.  I use coconut oil to make sure it doesn't stick to my hands, or the pyrex if I am making bars.  Store them in the refrigerator, but I like to eat them at room temperature.
