Healthy Trick-or-Treating Tip

A good way to keep your kids from eating too much candy on Halloween is to fill them up with a healthy meal before they hit the streets to trick-or-treat. Sunrider® foods and beverages provide the flavor kids love and the nutrition they need. So while helping your kids transform into superheroes, witches, and monsters, fuel them with a moist and chewy SunBar® or a bag of crunchy NuPuffs®, together with a deliciously satisfying VitaShake®. These fun-to-eat treats provide balanced nutrition and are a good source of energy.

Enjoy a happy, healthy Halloween with Sunrider!

Bowers Museum Collectors’ Council Tours Chen Art Gallery, Visits Product Fair

Following a tour of the Chen Art Gallery, Bowers Museum Collectors’ Council members were welcomed to a special Product Fair created just for them.

Held in the Healthy Life Store, we demonstrated products from the Oi-Lin® Skin Care Set, Kandesn® Protective Foundation SPF 15, SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste, and SunBreeze® Balm & Oil! After describing the power of our skin care and cosmetic products, Kandesn® Marketing Manager Julie McLewee had to run and get extra business cards to give to all those who wanted to schedule appointments in the Kandesn® Room!

Delicious VitaShake® Strawberry smoothie samples filled with strawberry and pineapple were doled out, and the amazing cleaning power of our SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse was illustrated on waxy broccoli from the grocery store (it emerged gorgeously green!). We also provided FortuneDelight® Peach to sample, which was very well received! Numerous people asked how to purchase the products and mentioned how delicious the FortuneDelight® and VitaShake® smoothies were!

This was a wonderful step in spreading the word about Sunrider and a fabulous way to increase our exposure in the community.

Red, White, and Blue, Whatever Will You Do?

The 4th of July is just two days away—how are you going to celebrate? Whether you have a beloved Independence Day tradition or you want to shake things up a little this year, there’s many fun and interesting ways to honor this important American holiday.

Plan a Family Get-Together
Round up brothers and sisters, moms and dads, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and in-laws, add a grill, fresh food, a dash of red, white, and blue, and enjoy some quality time with the fam! Cook a delicious and healthy meal on the grill with Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce while the kiddies play and the grown-ups relax and catch-up on life.

Attend a Parade
Everyone loves a good parade, so find one in your area and go! Pack snacks the adults and kids will enjoy like Sunbars and NuPuffs®, bring along water and Sunrider® teas to stay hydrated in the summer sun, don the patriotic stars and stripes and engage in some good ole American fun.

Help a Soldier
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. Troops are stationed overseas, missing the chance to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. You can help them feel more at home by sending a care package! Fill it with Sunrider goodies such as Fortune Delight® and Calli®, VitaShake®, and Sunbreeze® oil! They’ll be happy to receive something that’s good for them from the USA! Anysoldier.com, thecarepackageproject.com, and operationshoebox.com are great resources for this Independence Day project! Do your own research, though, and be creative!

Learn More
It’s easy to forget that the 4th of July is about celebrating America’s independence from Britain, not lake and beach activities, hotdogs and hamburgers, and pool parties. Most of us could stand to learn more about this holiday and the American Revolution. Visit your local library and become more knowledgeable about this extraordinary day in American history. Did you know that most delegates actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 2? See! Expand your knowledge and visit!

Whatever you choose to do, we here at Sunrider hope you have a safe and happy holiday! Happy planning!

VitaShake®

The perfect blend for your life—nutrition, convenience, and flavor!

VitaShake® is a perfect example of a product born from our Philosophy of Regeneration™. This delicious beverage fortifies your body with whole foods rather than a cocktail of chemically processed vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Key ingredients include coix fruit, a powerful antioxidant, and fructooligosaccharide (FOS), a probiotic soluble-fiber carbohydrate.

Unlike other brands that are crammed with sugar and “empty calories,” VitaShake® is replete with essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It contains concentrated nutrients from natural whole food sources. Plus, it’s a good source of dietary fiber, and it’s low in sodium for those concerned with their sodium intake.

People also love how the handy VitaShake® packages are perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle. The contents mix easily with water in a shaker bottle, making a beverage that’s tasty, nutritious, and easy to swallow and digest. It’s a delicious and easy way to get nutrients!

Speaking of easy, it sure was easy to find Sunrider employees who enjoy this product—read on, to see how wonderfully this beverage blends with their lives!


What Sunriders Like about VitaShake®

“On mornings when I’m in a rush to get to work, I’ll mix up a package of VitaShake® in my Sunrider® Shaker Bottle and take it with me. Not only is it tasty, but it’s really sustaining and keeps me going well until lunch time. Plus, it’s less than 100 calories while jam packed with vitamins. On days when I have more time, especially weekends or after a workout, I’ll blend a package of VitaShake® Cocoa in a blender with a banana! It really is a great, healthy treat!”

Patty LaBella

“Drinking VitaShake® with soymilk in the morning is my breakfast when I’m on the go! It’s a perfect start to my day—VitaShake® isn’t only delicious; it’s also filling, so it tames my appetite until lunch time.”

Mary Rodriguez
Order Representative


“I’m not really into the whole protein shake thing, but I tried VitaShake®, and I really, really like it! I often have a hard time making it from breakfast to lunch without feeling very, very hungry, but VitaShake® keeps me energized and feeling full. I was happy to learn that it’s not chemical based, but I was even happier to hear that it doesn’t use animal-based protein powders! Another plus? It’s less than 100 calories. Something every girl likes to hear!”

Liz Jernigan

"VitaShake® gives me the energy to keep me going all day! It’s so easy to prepare, I just add milk and mix it with fresh bananas and crushed ice. It fills me up and stops the craving in between meals. With its all-natural ingredients, it tastes great and provides the nutrients I need.”

Sylvette Martinez
Human Resources


“I must admit I love VitaShake®, especially the strawberry flavor; it’s one of my favorite Sunrider® products. I notice that it gives me the energy needed to take on each and every day. I try to drink one serving every morning, as it helps me avoid feeling hungry throughout the day. When I have time, I enjoy making smoothies; I simply add strawberries, bananas, water, and ice and blend them all together for the perfect drink. What’s best, I give it to my four kids, and I don’t even have to tell them it’s good for them; they enjoy it so much they don’t care."

Lilia Esquivias

Flavors

Recommendation
Mix one package with 6 to 8 ounces of water in Shaker Bottle. Drink as is or add crushed ice and sweeten to taste.
