Even better, SHINE can be prepared cold or blended into a nourishing morning smoothie or frosty shake for a hot weather treat. Or simply mix with your favorite nut/seed milk or coconut water for a complete meal-on-the-go.

WOW you say? So what is this SHINE and where do I get some?

SHINE is nutrient-dense mix of superfoods that may assist with curbing appetite, minimizing cravings, sustaining energy levels, increasing endurance, enhancing mood and providing mental clarity.

Christy wanted to create something that would make you FEEL GOOD naturally, with no guilt. Something that would fill you up with essential nutrients and equally important, taste deliciously decadent!

SHINE lets you have it all in every sip including: vitamins C, E and more, as well as key minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, essential fatty acids, fiber, as well as immune, stress and mood boosters. It’s the ultimate superfood beauty elixir!

What’s inside: Formulating the ultimate beauty elixir
Christy took to the kitchen and began experimenting with her favorite ingredients. She had shared her Hottie Tottie recipe with clients but often heard that despite following her recipe, it never tasted as good as when she made it for them. This inspired Christy to make an easily packaged mix where all you needed to do was add a liquid and a sweetener of choice.

It all started with a trilogy of maca, cacao and mesquite – a divinely, delicious combination! These ingredients became the base of the SHINE mix, and it’s no wonder as all three offer a plethora of health and beauty benefits.

Maca, a root from the hormone-balancing cruciferous veggie family, provides a nice malty flavor and invigorates the reproductive system. This powerful food has long been used by indigenous people in South America to increase stamina, boost libido and combat fatigue.

Raw cacao is a tasty source of antioxidants, iron, calcium, magnesium and fatty acids. It’s also favored for its energy and libido boosting properties.

Mesquite provides more than just a sweet, smoky caramel flavor. It’s known to balance sugar metabolism, support digestion and contains lysine (an amino acid important in tissue repair, fat burning and more), as well as notable quantities of digestible protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc.

From this powerful base of ingredients Christy started experimenting with other superfoods. Camu camu berries were chosen for being a superior source of vitamin C, and MSM to help reduce inflammation in the joints and support a glowing complexion.

Tocotrienols provide whole vitamin E and B complex, and adaptogenic mushrooms support the immune system. Vanilla adds an exotic, gourmet flavor — and more feel-good libido enhancing!. And as one of the only plant-based complete proteins, hemp seeds provide all eight essential amino acids.

Coconut flour rounds out the mix and is gluten-free, very low carb, and actually lowers the calorie content of food as it contains 40% dietary fiber, promotes lipid oxidation (helps burn fat), while it aids in digestive health, and helps balance blood sugar levels.

Why SHINE?
The name SHINE seemed like the natural fit. S.H.I.N.E. stands for Self-Care, Happiness, Inner Beauty, Nourishment, and Energy.

Drinking SHINE is way to treat yourself to more of all of these things, support a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy a dreamy, “decadent”, chocolate treat that actually nourishes, rather than depletes.

Get your SHINE on
SHINE is sold at our fresh food marketplace in ½ and 1 pound bags of dry mix, or pre-mixed with our brazil nut mylk in 12 and 16 ounce bottles ready to go.

When we prepare SHINE at The Feel Good World, we use brazil nut mylk as the base, which is exceptionally high in selenium, antioxidants and other important vitamins and minerals, while providing “good” fat.

It’s super easy to make at home or on the go by blending two tablespoons of SHINE mix with 16 ounces of your favorite milk, coconut water, or water. Then sweeten to taste with agave, honey, stevia or other natural sweetener. For the hot version, simply use 16 ounces of your favorite prepared tea or warm the milk/water.
