On January 4th, XO Jacqui turned three years old.
You know how they say when you have a baby, "The years are short and the days are long"? I'm experiencing that with this company. Three years feels like both forever and no time at all.
Alexis and I love what we do. We couldn't do it without you. Your support is the reason this small, women-owned protein powder company exists.
So to celebrate, Alexis created this Birthday Cake Smoothie—and we're hoping you'll make it with us. A virtual cheers to being in it together.

A Note on New Year Intentions
We're three weeks into January now. Maybe those intentions you set are still going strong. Maybe they've quietly faded. Maybe you're somewhere in between.
Wherever you are—it's okay. You can't do it wrong.
Every day you get to start fresh. Every morning is another chance to show up for yourself with a little love, a little respect, and some gratitude for just being here.
Make the smoothie. Don't make the smoothie. Just know we're grateful you're here.
