Brownie Batter Recover
If you’ve been in my Virtual Fit Club community long enough, I would bet you have seen someone’s #sweatyselfie with Energize in hand. This is a pre-workout must-have and if it is not a part of your workout routine, then you’re missing out on results during your workout.
But, today is about Energize’s big sister, Recover. She doesn’t get as much screen time, but her benefits are just as great and, together, they are an unstoppable duo for serious results.
Recover helps fight post-exercise muscle soreness and jump-start recovery so you crush your next workout with the same intensity as your last. Take Recover after every workout to help combat exercise-induced muscle soreness, speed muscle recovery, support muscle growth, and restore your strength. In Chocolate, Orange, whey and plant-based formulas, there is a Recover for everyone!
Brownie Batter Recover
Ingredients
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp peanut butter (almond butter works, too!)
1 scoop Beachbody Chocolate Recover
Chopped almonds or granola (garnish, optional)

Form Corrections for these 2 common exercises
We've all done it, especially at the end of our workout when our muscles start getting tired or we get lazy with form. I’m not perfect either so this applies to me too!!
Here are two ways to ensure you are using proper form and help force yourself to be in the right position. If you use these tricks, it's almost hard to cheat! Let me know if there are specific exercises you need help with and I’ll try to do a video specifically for you!

Autumn Date Night Ideas
Autumn is here (per the calendar, sure doesn't feel that way). With all the time we've spent at home lately, getting out and having some (safe) fun can be rejuvenating. Grab your partner, friends, kids, or even pets, and pick an idea from the list I shared. Let me know what was the most fun and tag me on Insta @eat.sweat.pray!
We've started doing “day dates” so it isn't just movies and dinner all the time, so corn maze, apple picking, and carving pumpkins look fun to me. Normally I'd chose baking, but with all the sugar this season, I'm not brave enough to test my willpower!!
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts for fall - and this recipe has all the best autumn flavors! Plus, it’s high in protein and fiber, so you stay full all morning! Bonus: it tastes like dessert, I’m here for that!
Let me know if you make this Apple Cinnamon Crumble Overnight Oats and what you think!
Ingredients
For overnight oats
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup dry rolled oats
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use Shakeology)
1 small apple, chopped, divided use
2 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For crumble
1 tbsp chopped pecans, unsalted
1 tbsp dry rolled oats
2 tsp almond flour
1 tsp coconut sugar
1 tsp extra-virgin organic coconut oil
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
To make overnight oats, combine almond milk, oats, protein powder, ½ apple, chia seeds, and extract in a medium bowl and mix well. Evenly divide the oat mixture between 2 jars; seal the jars and refrigerate overnight.
To make crumble, combine pecans, oats, almond flour, sugar, oil, and cinnamon in a small bowl; mix well.
In the morning, top each jar evenly with crumble and remaining apple pieces. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
Sweet Potato Muffins - MAJOR HIT!
First let me say, this recipe can be made many different ways. I rencently made this for our babysitter’s birthday because she requested a healthy, nut-free, dessert-like baked good and since most things I make are clean, but have nut butter of some sort, I modified this. I’ll show you how below…
Ingredients the way I prefer it most:
1 cup pealed orange sweet potatoes / yams (cook and allow to cool first. they should mash fairly easily so you can squish in measuring cup if you like, no need to dice or get all fancy here - cram it in ;)
1 cup non-dairy milk. I prefer unsweetened almond milk (you’ll get enough sweetness from the potatoes, but if you need this to be nut free, you can use coconut milk, soy or rice milk)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (PURE, not Aunt Jemima’s here!)
1 tsp vanilla extract (not imitation)
2 TBSP hemp / chai seeds (these can be pricey and some kids don’t like the texture so it’s not do-or-die, I omitted them and they turned out just as well)
2 cups less 2 TBSP wholewheat flour (if you need this to be nut-free), or 1 cup almond flour AND 1 cup whole wheat flour (this is my preference and what I used in the recipe)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground sea salt
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips (then you have prettier muffins and isn’t that half the purpose? with my kids eating it, yes!) or use non-dairy chocolate chips if you need this to be dairy free.
Preheat oven to 170 celsius and fill muffin tins with 12 liners. If you want more, fill a little less and you can get 18 easily.
Combine cooled sweet potato, hemp seeds (opt) and all wet ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Takes less than 2 minutes. In a large bowl, add remaining dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until well combined. Add wet mixture to dry and stir until completely mixed and then add chocolate chips (you could add sultanas instead, but lets live on the wild side and use dark chocolate chips here - there are health benefits you’re gaining too!).
Scoop mixture into muffin pan and bake for 15-18 minutes (if you made 18, cook on lesser side). Check doneness around 12 minutes. Remove and let cool a few minutes in the pan and then transfer to a cutting board to cool completely. Serve 1 muffin (if 12 servings) or 2 muffins (if smaller) with 2 eggs for a complete breakfast! ENJOY and share your thoughts below! These freeze well too!
Power Muffins!
I don't know if you're like me, but if you shop at Costco, then chances are, you might be. Lots of times I have a veggie for dinner in mind and then I change my mind because there's zucchini, spinach or some veggie that 'needs to be eaten stat'. There are multiple ways to make these so feel free to use that veggie that just needs to go ;) When I made these I did zucchini and carrots, but I've seen broccoli, spinach, carrots, zucchini, and every combination in between. As long as you're measuring your veggies with your green container, you're staying on track.
INGREDIENTS:
-¾ C quick oats
-1 large zucchini and 3 medium carrots (use a cheese grater or food processor to grind them up)
-6 eggs
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all together and spoon into a muffin tin. Makes 12 and 4 are a serving so yields 3 portions. Bake 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
Another variation is to add Shakeology to them. If you do this, cut the eggs by 2 for every scoop / packet of Shakeology you use. I personally wouldn't add more than one because you lose some of the nutrition in Shakeology when it's heated over 175 degrees so no need to waste it. But the flavor of vanilla Shakeology is delicious in these. let me know what you try!!
These are an excellent pre or post workout meal. If using as "pre-workout meal" then just top with creamy peanut butter or coconut oil and you're good to go. If you're eating them as a "post-workout meal" then add peanut butter and a fruit on the side. How easy is this? And it makes 3 servings so the next two days you can relax knowing you just wake, heat, and eat. 30-90 minutes later you are ready to exercise.
