For years my brand partner Shaklee has recommended protein as a main building block to support your health and wellness.

🌿In fact, in 1961 Dr. Shaklee launched Instant Protein, the first ever plant based protein powder in the world, because he wanted people to easily have a way to start their day with high quality, lean protein.

🌿Fast forward to 2026, and now Shaklee has a big variety of clean protein products to help us hit our daily protein goals.

🌿Protein recommendations have increased by 50% to 100%. The old guideline was just the minimum to avoid deficiency. Today, protein is about supporting energy, muscle, metabolism, and healthy aging.

🌿The new recommendations are what Shaklee has been suggesting for years - that we are to consume up to 0.80 g of protein per pound of body weight per day. That’s way more than a typical person eats. Thanks to Shaklee for having so many clean, safe, high quality protein options - protein powders, shakes, bars, drinks - to help us get enough protein in our diets!

🌿The graphic below is to show that protein isn’t only for muscles and strength, but it supports our health in many ways!! And the drink shown is not a margarita 😉, it’s Shaklee’s Sparkling Protein with 40g of protein per serving.🫧

Reach out if you want help adding more protein to your daily life!🥰

🥗Honeynut Squash & Quinoa Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette🥗

You guys, this salad is so good it’s my new FAVORITE!! 😋

TIPS:
🌱 Use whatever kind of greens you like. I wanted a variety so used arugula, spinach, and green leaf lettuce.

🌱 The dressing recipe makes extra which is great to save for later.

🌱 Make double the amount of quinoa so that it’s super fast to use again soon.

🌱 Be creative! I made it again the next day with a few modifications since the squash was gone. Instead I substituted avocado and feta, along with the greens, quinoa, pomegranate, and dressing. Was delicious!

10,000 steps a day used to be the rule for the number of steps you should take to get optimal benefits from walking. That has changed. Here’s what we now know:

🚶 4,000–5,000 steps/day already lowers your risk of early death and chronic disease compared to very low activity. (JAMA Network Open, 2023)

💖 6,000–7,000 steps/day is linked to a 40–50% lower risk of premature death in midlife and older women. (JAMA Internal Medicine, 2021)

🧠 Benefits keep going up until around 8,000–9,000 steps/day, then level off — so you don’t need to chase 10,000 unless you enjoy it. (JAMA Network Open, 2019)

🔑 The biggest health boost comes from simply adding more steps than you do now. Even +1,000 steps/day can make a measurable difference! (American College of Cardiology, 2023)

✨ Bottom line: For women over 40, aiming for 6,000–8,000 steps/day is realistic, doable, and backed by science. Every step counts toward better heart health, stronger bones, balanced hormones, and a sharper mind. 💪🧡

Great! Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get to the fun stuff.

Yum this nectarine was so juicy and sweet!

Tip: leave them on the counter to ripen fully for a day or two after buying; wait to eat until slightly soft to the touch.

Do you prefer nectarines or peaches?🍑🍑
