The Daily Apple Blog

Happy May! Today we take a moment to introduce you to our products of the month. This first one is one we get really excited about around here. Amanda first used CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) oh about 17 years ago. She found it super helpful for toning up and losing inches. She also noticed more energy when taking this product. It helped her jump start the beginning of her weight loss journey. A lot of research has been done on CLA and its great benefits for helping the body burn fat.

I had the opportunity to keep my nieces and nephew overnight recently and somehow cooking is always a part of what we do when they visit. This time we were celebrating my niece Kora’s 5^th birthday. When I called her Friday to ask her what she wanted to make for her birthday treats I gave her the choice of cake, cookies or muffins. I could not have been more happy when she said muffins. I was shocked and then quickly remembered almost 3 years ago when we made Paleo Blueberry Muffins and I named the recipe after her in my original blog post. I asked her a couple more questions and sure enough she wanted to make blueberry muffins. I was pretty thrilled that instead of picking up a mix out of a box I was able to head to the fresh fruit aisle and grab blueberries. The rest of the ingredients I had on hand at home.

Every month at both Daily Apple locations and now at dailyappleonline.com we feature a product of the month and offer a 20% discount. One of our very favorite products is on sale during March. Meet Easy Cleanse, a gentle cleansing formula designed to support digestive and metabolic health. Just like the name says this cleanse is simple to use. You take two capsules of the a.m. formula before breakfast and two after lunch. Then at bedtime you take four of the p.m. formula. If you have never tried a whole body cleanse you will enjoy the simplicity of this Now Foods cleanse.

It’s hard to believe that our new website has been up and running for a month and a half now. When I think back to the week leading up to our launch, the excitement of a brand new design and allowing people the opportunity to shop 24 hours a day was great but I was filled with fear. I knew the design and navigation of the site would be fine but I was scared to introduce myself to the world as a speaker from Worthington, MN. If you know me well, you know I love to talk and I really love to speak about issues I am passionate about. So it might surprise you I was scared for people to see the Book Amanda to Speak tab on our website.

The last couple years the popularity of essential oils has sky rocketed. It was not that long ago that essentials oils were something that would be used mostly by really natural-minded people. Today, essential oils are everywhere and more and more people are using them for many health benefits. I remember 25 years ago when my parents started using oils, I thought they all smelled bad and as a teenager I often made fun of them but wow, whenever they would give me an oil for something it helped (and usually really quickly). 

Here at the Daily Apple we are passionate about natural health and healthy eating. In this blog post our fearless leader Amanda details her health journey in hopes to inspire others to take control of their health. 

It was three years ago that I made homemade taco seasoning for the first time. Now, I am happy to say I make my own fajita seasoning, beef stew seasoning, Cajun seasoning and Italian seasoning. It is less expensive and free of unhealthy ingredients like MSG, autolyzed yeast and all of the other preservatives that are in the pre-packaged mixes. This has been a fun kitchen experience and I actually have to pay close attention and write down what I was doing so I can share it here. Stay tuned for my other homemade seasoning recipes coming soon on the blog.

So I first started making homemade bone broth three years ago and the first time I made it I could not believe it was SO EASY to make and it tastes delicious. It makes me so happy to have 16 cups of broth in the freezer for use in future recipes. No more store bought cans or containers of chicken broth at the Tate house.
