Using Pure Protein Complete™, refreshing Peppermint Vitality™, and a handful of spinach, this breakfast tastes like a dessert but packs a punch with ingredients you won’t feel guilty about.
Experiment with your smoothies by adding any combination of these essential oils:
Let’s take the stress out of holiday shopping this year! I have some ideas for you that are perfect for anyone on your list. You can either grab the ready-to-go products on your next order from Young Living and have them shipped right to your door OR take advantage of the DIY recipes and get crafty!

Seed to Seal
Not all essential oils are created equally. When you shop with Young Living you are getting quality products backed by a ‘Seed to Seal’ guarantee that you won’t find anywhere else. You can expect that Young Living will provide you with only the BEST!
And the best part… if the oils do not meet these high standards they are rejected and will not be bottled as a Young Living product. Now that’s amazing!!

All of Young Living’s toothpaste is fluoride-free, made without harsh chemicals or synthetics, and gentle on enamel. Grab your favorite tube and pair it with Thieves mouthwash and dental floss. Hop on Amazon and grab some cool bamboo toothbrushes and kick your gift up a notch!

I am loving the fact that I can grab full-size products and gift them as is OR divvy them up to create multiple gifts, aren’t you? #smartshopper
These oil-infused goodies would make the perfect self-care gift – because we all know how hard it is to make yourself a priority! Give them everything they need from head to toe!
Want to divvy these up? You can! Young Living shampoo and conditioner is extra thick and concentrated so many people dilute it 50/50 with water. Even diluted it still works great for cleansing and conditioning.
Grab those 2 oz. containers we talked about earlier and add 1 oz. of shampoo/conditioner to each and fill the rest with water. By doing it this way, you can get EIGHT gift-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner out of one, making them only $3.70 each! And that includes the cost of the 2 oz. container!
Grab these ½ oz. jars for just $0.29 each and include a sample of both the Satin Mint Face Scrub and LavaMint Softening Foot Scrub. It may seem like a small amount but a little goes a long way! Package all this and a lip balm in one of these mesh organizers and you’ve got adorable little gift sets perfect for anyone on your list… all for under $25!
Feeling up for another homemade recipe? You could also include an amazing DIY Hand Scrub for silky smooth hands all year round.

Throw in a little jar of oil-infused honey and they will love you forever! Place ¼ cup of honey in a jar and add 5-8 drops of Cinnamon Bark Vitality, Lemon Vitality, or Thieves Vitality for flavoring. This goes so well with a hot cup of Slique tea!

We can’t forget about those fur babies! I love that Young Living hasn’t forgotten about them either. Our animals are just as susceptible to all the harmful toxins in our everyday products as we are. Thankfully there is a safer alternative for them! Young Living has an entire Animal Scents collection of pre-diluted essential oils you can use directly on your pets, along with shampoo, ointment and pet chews. This is the perfect collection to gift to your own pets or even your friends’ pets. Take some samples to your local veterinarian’s office; I’m sure they would love it!. #brilliant
Again, grab full products for each recipient OR divide them up and make multiple gift bundles for under $20 each! Let’s do a little math and break this one down…

Pair that with some Young Living Vitality oils and BAM! You have a deliciously, affordable gift set.

A fun holiday twist to a classic dessert. Adding Peppermint Vitality Oil to your favorite brownie recipe (or even boxed brownies) will take this delicious treat to a whole new level.
These fudgy peppermint brownies may look and taste like the brownies you love, but they’re free of the things that your waistline doesn’t. We’ve taken out the flour, butter, and refined sugar and replaced them with wholesome ingredients such as coconut oil, honey, Peppermint Vitality™, and black beans. Yes—we said black beans! They may seem like a strange addition to a sweet recipe, but black beans provide a soft, gooey, fudgy texture and have almost no taste—allowing the bold flavors of the cocoa powder and Peppermint Vitality to shine through. But don’t take our word for it, give this flourless peppermint brownie recipe a try! Your taste buds and waistline will thank you.
’Tis the season for Jack Frost nipping at your nose! While the weather outside might be frightful, you can wind down and warm up with your favorite mug brimming with better-for-you hot cocoa! Skip out on ingredients like whipped cream or melted chocolate and snuggle up with one of these healthy hot chocolate recipes as a gift for your winter wellness goals. Whether you are cuddled up in bed with your favorite show or watching snowflakes dance from the window seat, a mug of these homemade hot chocolate recipes will make your season bright.
Who doesn’t love some winter comfort food after a long day of holiday hustle? The sweet aroma of lavender will brighten up any snowy night, so add a few drops of Lavender Vitality™ essential oil for easy, healthy hot cocoa.
YL tip: Add your choice of EO drops to your liking!
