Baby, Its Hot Out There!!

Its hard to believe its only the beginning of June. Here in the Northeast we have been seeing temps at 100 degrees and that has been at 3:00 in the afternoon! Are you looking for some relief from the heat? Below are some recipes made with essential oils sure to hit the spot!

If you have children, the NingXia Red Creamsicle is not only a tasty treat but is a powerhouse of nutrients you can feel good about your child eating (read more about the nutritional value of NingXia Red here).

NingXia Red Creamsicle

1 cup Young Living's NingXia Red juice
1 cup Vanilla Yogurt
1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, banana, etc.)

Blend ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into your mold of choice. Freeze about 4 hours, serve.

Try and avoid plastic molds because of the chemicals; Some good substitutes might be: a glass Pyrex dish (scoop the frozen mixture into pretty serving dishes). Or, use regular paper cups, nonwaxed - wax is a petro chemical, and stick a wooden popsicle stick in the center, peel the paper cup off for serving.


Lavender Vanilla Ice Cream

Wow, is this easy and excellent!!! Who would have thought this combination would taste soooo good!

1 quart of nice quality vanilla ice cream (soften a bit)
2 drops Young Living's Lavender essential oil

After the ice cream has softened enough to stir, scoop it out into a mixing bowl. Put 2 drops of Young Living's Lavender essential oil into the ice cream and stir well to disperse the lavender oil. Put the ice cream back into the freezer so it can harden. Serve.

Lavender Lemonade

7 lemons, peeled and juiced
2 limes, peeled and juiced
14 c. water
1 ½ c. Blue Agave
1 drop lavender essential oil

Mix all ingredients together and chill. Add more water or Blue Agave, depending on the size and tartness of the fruit.

Remember use only 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Oils such as Young Living Essential Oil in recipes. With other oils you just don't know whats in them.
