Pour your favorite beverage, press play and before the episode is over you will be adding Smart Sip to your next grocery list! This week Kristin and Ashlyn talk about Smart Sip, as well as bond over growing up in Saskatchewan and how to live your healthiest life (and how that changes as you grow and evolve).

Meet Ashlyn:

My name is Ashlyn Newlove and I am the creator and founder of Smart Sip Cream Co. I was born and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan and recently moved from the Cowichan Valley to Royal Bay in Colwood. As a nutrition coach who has helped more than 700 people reach their weight loss goals, and lost 35 pounds myself, there is nothing worse than giving up your favorite food and drinks just to try and lose weight. As a nutrition coach I saw a gap in the food & beverage industry as more than 90% of people aren't getting enough fibre, which plays a huge role in reaching their health goals. Sugary drinks that people consume leave them sluggish, struggling with their energy levels and elevating their hunger. I wanted to create a product that still gave them that delicious drink without all of the nasty side-effects. Many people don’t realize that when you have a diet rich in fiber you not only support your digestive health but you also regulate your blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of chronic disease and keep you feeling full and satisfied longer to aid in weight maintenance. For 13 months I worked with a recipe scientist to perfect a coconut oil based powdered creamer with chicory root fiber in it and launched it at the beginning of April. In the last 2 months I've started a creamer revolution and sold more than 1500 bags with plans to audition for Dragon's Den in the spring.Connect with Ashlyn:
