MY JOURNEY WITH PROBIOTICS

I’ve been very open about sharing on my blog and social media that my drive and passion in work can sometimes get the best of me.  I–like many others–deal with undiagnosed anxiety which has the ability to physically manifest in many ways.  For a long time I would skip breakfast, stash protein bars in my purse, or stop at a coffee shop and grab a croissant as part of my daily rush.  Not only did I notice that my go go go schedule was making me anxious, it was upsetting my stomach.  After some advice from my doctor, I learned that stress is actually one of the number one causes of GI issues–sorry, TMI, but I’m going there!–and in alignment with reducing stress I should up my intake of probiotics!  I tested out different ways to add probiotics to my diet, and my stomach issues are gone.  

One of my steps towards a healthier, less stressful lifestyle includes setting aside time for breakfast in the mornings.  I know that sometimes this isn’t realistic, but I make it work with my schedule whenever possible.  My typical morning starts very early, with 5am meetings with New York, so I’ll actually wait to eat breakfast once I get a break from my work, around 10am or so.  My breakfast changes daily based on what I have on hand, but I always have eggs and avocado (we are actually planting a full grown avocado tree in the backyard! Worth it, since I eat an avocado a day haha).  Today I had some spinach, a few cherry tomatoes, greek yogurt (ran out of raspberries though–bummer!), and a glass of Pineapple Mango Tropicana Probiotics juice!  I started incorporating a glass of Tropicana Probiotics into my breakfast for an extra probiotics boost as extra insurance for my body and stomach. This juice delivers over one billion live and active cultures to your gut and provides your whole day’s vitamin C. I also love that they have no added sugar or artificial flavors. I’ve mainly been enjoying the Pineapple Mango, but just picked up Strawberry Banana and Peach Passion Fruit to try next–or maybe I’ll even mix a couple together.  I also want to experiment adding them as a liquid base in a smoothie with some kale and spinach–yum!

I definitely recommend getting your probiotics in daily and taking the time to enjoy the start of the day.  I love the feeling of taking just 10 minutes for myself in the morning!  What is your typical morning routine? Have you tried Tropicana Probiotics? Let me know what you think!

    I usually just get up and have a cup of coffee, I am bad about not eating breakfast or taking probiotics. I will have to make sure that I try Tropicana Probiotics. I can have a glass of that with my coffee in the morning.

    That is awesome! I already eat yogurt every day, and I think adding in Tropicana with probiotics is a great way to further help my gut.

    As one who suffers from an autoimmune disorder of the gut, probiotics are something I make sure to take every day. These juices sound like a tasty way to get them in without even thinking about it each day.

    I haven’t tried them, but I did see them in my grocery store the other day and thought they looked intriguing. I’m terrible at eating a healthy breakfast. If I have time I’ll make eggs and spinach, but usually it’s a breakfast bar or something of that nature. Everyone I’ve talked to touts the benefits of probiotics, so I need to figure out what works best for me and stick with it. This juice just might be it!

    Taking probiotics is a natural way to stay healthy. I love it when my gut is in tip top shape because I get to absorb nutrients better. I will have to get more Tropicana Probiotics drink. The hot summer months calls for refreshing drinks like this.

    Probiotics are wonderful things. I have a friend who started using them and it has helped her IBS astronomically.

Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.

I’ve been living in this jersey maxi dress and tie day sweater from @walmart, it’s been so comfortable to wear on transitional spring days where it’s warm one second and then raining the next (swipe right 👉🏻) they come in a bunch of colors and can’t beat that price 🙌🏻 Sharing more on stories how i like to tie it up for wearing outside of the house too #ad #walmart #walmartfashion @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/3DaOZ
We have been having so much fun on our extended tr We have been having so much fun on our extended trip at the beach house in 30A! I was so nervous packing  for two kids on this trip (6 suitcases later…) so I leaned in on @walmart to help me out by ordering our baby essentials to the house in advance. We arrived to our stock of diapers, pull ups, wipes, formula, apple sauce pouches, etc…everything we needed! I also ordered the boys some cute outfits, OBSESSED with these hoodie sets and love the colors, and my maxi dress too! I’ve linked all our outfits and baby favorites via @Shop.LTK for you to shop here https://liketk.it/3AKkL #WalmartBaby #liketkit AD

Amazon Subscribe and Save is my best bud for ordering our essentials to the house and we just swapped our laundry detergent to @botanicalorigin. This stuff smells so fresh, (I order the orange blossom & citrus leaves scent) but the best part about it is it removes tough the toughest stains like: wine 🍷, spaghetti sauce 🍝 (my stain nemesis!!!), chocolate 🍫, mustard 🌭, makeup foundation 💋(OMG!!!!!!), ink 🖊, oil and bacon grease 🥓… basically everything that ruins our family’s clothes. It’s plant based (67% USDA Biobased), for sensitive skin and is also aesthetically pleasing 🥰 , which is perfect as I’m trying to make this corner of our garage more organized. Peep my stories to see more about our new laundry detergent but also the rest of the garage 😂😬🤪 #BotanicalOriginPartner #ElevateYourClean  @botanicalorigin

It’s been a total labor of love and that includes finding last minutes deals online for things that are backordered, not arriving in time, or that just didn’t work out! Thankfully I’m shopping the @retailmenot Daylight Savings event (now through 3/20) to save extra on my purchases from favorite retailers like @homedepot and @michaelscraftstore! Swipe through the carousel to see some of our progress this weekend including our @samsung appliances we saved 10% on! 👉🏻🌊☀️ad
