Making Nutrition Fun – Lime Oil, Orange Oil, Ningxia Recipes


You put the Lime in the coconut and add some NingXia Red…

That’s how the song goes right?! Either way, we believe that wellness can be fun – and tasty! So we love adding in Lime and Orange Vitality oils into our routines.

Orange Vitality 

Cold-pressed from the rinds of oranges grown in Costa Rica, Orange oil has a sweet, authentic aroma and a bright, zesty taste. Orange Vitality oil also blends beautifully with other fruity flavors, making it a tasty addition to smoothies, juices, and NingXia Red! Orange is high in the compound limonene, so it provides digestive and immune system support to the body — all while tasting great!

Lime Vitality 

Whether you’re stirring it into drinks for a bright burst of flavor or giving your food a little extra citrus zip, Lime Vitality is a welcome kick of summer that you can enjoy year-round. This citrus oil is bright and happy and adds a little bit of zest to all your favorite foods and drinks! 

But Lime is more than just a fun time. Lime essential oil is unique in that it is 100% bioflavonoid. Not only are bioflavonoids impressive in and of themselves, but they also help maximize the benefits of vitamin C by inhibiting its breakdown in the body. This means that Lime not only supports the immune system, it also stimulates detox pathways, helping to clear the body of toxins and unwanted waste. Lime is a wellness powerhouse!
