We are excited to announce that we now carry SCJ Wellness Organic Elderberry Syrup, which is made with Southern Indiana raw honey! There are many health benefits to elderberry, let’s take a look at them:

• Immune Boosting
Elderberry syrup may relieve flu symptoms and reduce the length of time the flu lasts when taken by mouth within 48 hours of the first symptoms.

• High In Vitamin C
There are 52mg of vitamin C in one cup of elderberries, which accounts for 87% of the recommended daily intake.

• Phenolic Acids
These powerful antioxidants help reduce the harmful effects of oxidative stress in the body.

• Reduce Inflammation, Stress, and Bacteria
As well as reducing stress and fighting bacteria, elderberries are rich in anthocyanins which have anti-inflammatory properties.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
