Living Younger Longer with Monica My passion is partnering with people who want to feel better tomorrow than they feel today and have I started out just wanting to get healthy. How about you?

Through Shaklee products I found that I felt better, had more energy and didn't get sick anymore. I also found a company with a philosophy that fit my values - stay healthy - help others stay healthy - and be rewarded for teaching others to do the same. This collaborative approach is a better fit for me than the corporate world.

It was a lasagna extravaganza. Forgot to take a group photos. Everyone went honey with a full tummy and leftovers for tomorrow!
I’m more exhausted tonight from cooking than I am after a long run.
I have respect for chefs and people working in the food industry.
But the labor of love was worth it. 😘❤️ Sundays filled with faith, food, friends and family bring me joy. 😀

I’m running a “Clean Plate Challenge” this week in my FB group and this was my plate tonight!

I’m finding this isn’t really much of a challenge as I prefer to eat this way - lean protein, veggies, maybe a grain.

One of the dilemmas at our house is finding a meal that both my husband and I enjoy and one where the veggies are cooked enough for him, but not so mushy that I don’t enjoy it.

And tonight I was able to cook my tuna to just the right degree of rare and his more medium rare. We both agreed it was an awesome meal. Happy tummies, happy home.

Comment CLEANPLATE if you want to hop over to FB and follow along the rest of the week.

Hosting these in person Wellness events has become one of my happy places. We’re building a local community of health minded women in various stages of life.

It was terrific to have women that brought their children with them. It added another dimension of community.

The best way I can extend this community beyond the small town I live in is to invite you to our Living Younger Longer Tribe on FB. Want to join us?

And offer you my latest recipe e-booklet Jar Salads & Flavorful Dressings.

Comment or send me a message to take me up on either (or both) offers. 😘

I had a conversation with a client a few weeks ago about healthy snacks and she had hummus listed as a snack that she enjoys.

When I found out she is used to purchasing it rather than making her own I promised her a recipe. I have made it so often over the years that I don’t usually consult a recipe (or even measure ingredients), but here’s a basic recipe.

1 can chickpeas (drain half of the liquid)
1/4 tahini (if you don’t have it on hand you can substitute almond butter)
1-2 cloves of garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste*
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika (and more for garnish)
1-2 tbs olive oil (optional)

Blend all ingredients in a small blender of food processor. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.

*today I added some Everything Bagel seasoning instead of salt and pepper and it was great!

I also skipped the olive oil in the blender and drizzles a little bit on top.

Making your own is always better than buying prepared. You can control the ingredients and flavor it to your tastes!

I served this today with air fryer sweet potatoes and added some to a salad.

My formula for a great smoothie is:
* 1 serving of fruit
* 1 serving of vegetable
* full-body creamy texture
* Life Shake for protein, fiber, nutrients AND leucine
* Tastes great
This Berry 🫐Lime 🍋‍🟩Smoothie was an impromptu recipe yesterday that turned out “Smoothie Queen” worthy, so I decided I needed to share it with a special 2 day only offer.
20% off LIfe Shake* - a protein, fiber, and essential nutrients powerhouse! But hurry—this is a limited unique offer and is only available until the end of the day tomorrow, February 28. ✨

*Offer is valid for new customers only. You must contact me to get a unique promo code. I have a limited number of codes so don’t delay.  Existing customers contact me for Free Shipping for any order over $100.

20 Years Ago, My Life Changed Forever…
I still remember the day I lost my job—but not with sadness or fear. I was actually excited because, I had already been inspired by Shaklee’s billionaire CEO Roger Barnett and his vision to make the world a healthier and better place. I knew in my heart that he was going to be successful in expanding this legacy company here in the U.S. and around the world. And I decided I was all in to be a part of this vision and mission. ✨

Roger explained what we have to offer as a gift of better health and a better way of life. 🎁He went on to say that if I didn’t offer it to others it was just a package, so I’m handing you an opportunity to hear directly from this visionary leader who has dedicated his life to making a difference.

If you’ve ever thought about creating something bigger than yourself, I’d love to have you as a guest at a special “Building a Legacy of Health” event hosted by Roger Barnett this Monday on Zoom.
Drop a 💚 in the comments, and I’ll send you the details! I am pretty sure you will find inspiration too!

I woke up on Valentine’s Morning with this idea for the Ultimate Coffee ☕️Chocolate 🍫Smoothie recipe running around in my head. When I tasted in I gave myself a 👍🏼but when I got a “that’s good” from my coffee loving husband I knew for sure it was a keeper.

Since then all the folks on my taste testing crew have exclaimed… I want the recipe!
I’m not sure I’ve totally captured how good it is with this name, but here you go! 😘

Ultimate Chocolate Coffee Smoothie
1 cup milk of choice
¼ cup brewed coffee
12 or so coffee beans
2 tsp chia seeds
1 oz dark chocolate (optional, but recommended)
1 scoop Rich Chocolate Life Shake
1 scoop Cafe Latte Life Shake
3 chopped dates

Blend till smooth, add a handful of ice, and blend again. Garnish with shaved chocolate.

I would love to add you to my taste tester crew. Your feedback keeps me motivated to don that smoothie crown more ofter. And if you come up with a better name I might just have a special reward for you! 😘

Haven’t tried Life Shake yet? Contact me for a 20% off promo code for new customers! 😀

27 years ago I had no idea what a grand adventure this life of motherhood would be. There was a part of me that was afraid of being a mom. Worried about how to take care of this baby boy God had blessed us with. Would I have what it takes to be a good mom?

With a bit of instinct, determination, persistence and a lot of God’s grace I managed to do an ok job!

I’m so proud of the fine man you have become and your decison to serve God. Happy Birthday Dave.

Gratitude wells up in this mom’s heart today. We had a lovely visit with my son at the teaching parish where he is assigned as part of his seminary training. He visits on the weekends and learns from the priests and volunteers in the community when possible.
As we were driving there this morning I was thinking about how proud my mom would be to see the path that David has chosen. She passed away when Dave was 8 years old. This was long before the first time he expressed interest in the priesthood.
Everytime I see him I realize that his confidence that he is on the right path has grown.
A little over 3 years (Lord willing). Keep him in your prayers. 🙏☦️

Saturday evening in the “Test Kitchen”

We’ll be doing the final taste tests tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure my resident tester is going to give me the thumbs up rating on this Double Chocolate 🍫Coconut 🥥 Cookie.

It’s gluten free, protein rich (eggs, collagen, protein powder) and pretty darn tasty if I have to say so myself! 😘

I’m planning to add it to the 2025 For the Love of Chocolate Recipe Guide. Comment CHOCOLATE if you would like the link to this year’s edition! 😘

🚨 I NEED YOUR SUPPORT! 🚨
It’s kind of crazy, but I just decided to do my first-ever stair climb Hustle Chicaqgo - 96 stories at the former John Hancock building! My brother Dave invited me to be a part of a team with his high school running buddy. At first I was hesitant, but when I found out about the mission of the Respiratory Health Association I figured it was meant to be.

I’m doing it for a cause that’s deeply personal. My dad was a lifelong smoker and spent his last years struggling to breathe, hooked up to oxygen. He passed away from emphysema just two months before my son was born, and now, I’m watching my husband face the same heartbreaking battle. He, too, has emphysema and is now on oxygen at times.
As part of my Living Younger Longer lifestyle, I challenge myself to do something new each year—because growth, movement, and stepping outside my comfort zone help keep me young. This stair climb is one of my challenges for the year, and I’m doing it to raise awareness about lung health, the dangers of smoking, and the urgent need for prevention. I’m climbing to break this cycle for my family and others.
💙 Will you support my climb? Every donation—big or small—helps fund critical research, education, and support for those living with lung disease.

Comment CLIMB and I’ll send you my fundraising link. I appreciate your $ support and also knowing that you’re cheering me on! 😘

First race of the year - 5K Winterfest Run. It’s a small community based run with manual timing, but lots of fun.

Placed 3rd in the 40+ women age bracket which means I was competing with women 20+ years younger than me!

Happy with my time of 31:39 (pause of 10:12 per mile, considering it’s Feb. 1 and I haven’t really run that much this winter.

Feeling inspired to make one of my running goals for this year to see how fast I could get in a 5K. The last 7-8 years I’ve really focused on the 10K as my fave race, but last year I started running intervals and realized I really like running fast!

What’s one of your health, life, fitness goals for 2025.

I would love to cheer you on! 😘

Have you ever faced a fear head-on, only to discover just how courageous you are? I was initially terrified the first time I ran a challenging 10K trail run. (Dances with Dirt) Going out to my favorite state park, Devil’s Lake, and running the course on my own diffused my fears and built my confidence. Sometimes, a “dress rehearsal” is all we need to break through those fears that often hold us back.
Let’s celebrate those incredible acts of bravery today. Share your story of courage and the journey you took to overcome fear. Who knows, your tale might inspire someone else to take the leap!

Experimenting in the kitchen is definitely my happy place. These jar versions of the broth bowls we made at my Saturday Soup Social came out of my desire to bring the fruits of the workshop to a couple ladies who were not able to join us.

I had an error on the address when I listed the event online and they were wandering around town trying to find us.🧐

So my blunder led to this soup on the go endeavor that I am hoping will make up for my other shortcomings! 😘🙏

20/01/2025

🎉 What an incredible day at the Soup Social! 🍲✨

16 amazing women came together to learn, sample, and create simple, delicious, and nutritious soups. The energy, laughter, and connection were everything I hoped for – and more! 💛

This is my happy place – teaching, inspiring, and building community around healthy living. Watching everyone share tips, enjoy the flavors, and leave inspired to implement what they learned at home fills my heart with so much joy.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined in and made this day so special. (And special kudos to the clean up crew.) Here’s to nourishing our bodies, minds, and spirits – one bowl of soup at a time. 🥣💫
