\"image001\"All the fresh produce available during the summertime makes it a great time to refresh your nutrition and wellness goals<\/span>.<\/strong> We asked Young Living Brand Ambassador and author of\u00a0The Body Doesn’t Lie<\/em><\/a>, Vicky Vlachonis<\/strong> to help us put together a seven-day meal plan that takes advantage of the farmer\u2019s market and puts you back on track to vitality. From breakfast to dinner and snacks in between, we\u2019ve got you covered!<\/p>\n

Vicky talked to UCLA-registered dietitian, Nancee Jaffe<\/strong> for some nutrition tips<\/strong> while compiling the meal plan, and Nancee emphasized the meal that\u2019s easiest to forget: breakfast<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span> She gave us helpful advice to keep in mind when we\u2019re rushing to put something together in the morning.<\/p>\n

It also has been shown to lower blood glucose levels and blood pressure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With that, let\u2019s see what goodness Vicky has in store for us!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
