- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie seasoning
- 1 cup ice
Essential Oils:
2-3 drops Protective Blend

Nerdy Extras:
Almond Milk is cholesterol free which can help enable a healthy heart. It can also aid in maintaining and lowering blood pressure.1
Pumpkin is a source of beta-carotene. It can help reduce risk of getting heart disease & asthma.2
Bananas have a significant amount of potassium. Consuming potassium and lowering your sodium intake can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart disease. They are also helpful when fighting off viruses because they are easily digested and can provide necessary nutrients without upsetting the stomach.3
