Chocolate Mousse

“Calories don’t do something to me. They are the energy to do something for me.”

How crazy is it that diet culture has us fearing calories, when in reality, calories are the energy we need to live this wild, amazing, beautiful life?! Calories are what help you focus at work, carry your body through a yoga flow, take care of your kids, have a conversation with your best friend, push hard through a workout. 

So, as you sit down to eat (maybe this Chocolate Mousse 😍)... thank the calories you’re putting into your body for everything they support you in doing!

Ingredients

- 4 oz soft tofu

- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

- 1 tbsp all-natural nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew)

Instructions

1. Place the tofu, Shakeology, almond milk, and nut butter in a food processor or blender - pulse until smooth.

This recipe makes 1 serving.

Chocolate + Caramel + Peanut Butter No-Bake Superfood Cookie

You are not on a diet… and so, it’s time to say peace out to that diet culture mentality ✌️ 

When foods are completely off-limits, you actually give up control over your food choices… and you become more likely to overeat whatever your favorite “cheat food” is when you’ve been severely restricting what you are “allowed” to eat.

This is absolutely a practice that takes time, but if you can tune into your body and what it needs, you are able to eat intuitively and enjoy the foods you love, while still getting the results you want in your health journey. 

Today’s delicious recipe is an incredible Chocolate + Caramel + Peanut Butter No-Bake Superfood Cookie that is sure to be a new family favorite once you whip up a batch!

Ingredients

- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter

- 1 tsp pure caramel extract

- 1 cup dry quick-cooking rolled oats

- ½ cup honey

- 1 cup Chocolate Whey Shakeology

- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Combine peanut butter, extract, oats, honey, and Shakeology in a medium bowl and mix with a spatula or clean hands.

2. Roll mixture into 24 balls (about 1 inch in size). Flatten each slightly so that it is shaped like a traditional cookie. 

3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. 

You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

2B Mindset Plate It: Remove the tablespoon of dark chocolate and add some fruit to this recipe for a great breakfast.

I also wanted to quickly share the best way to save money on your Shakeo because sometimes people forget that your daily superfoods is not an addition to your diet; it’s a healthy replacement for things you’ve been eating! You don’t add Shakeology on top of all the stuff you buy + eat… you substitute your shake in place of unhealthier options!

So, you can save 25% off the price of your monthly Shakeology (and any other nutritionals you buy) just by joining our Preferred Customer program! You’re not coaching so it doesn’t affect your taxes, and you can even refer others who are inspired by what they see you doing! If you want more details, email me! Happy to see if it’s right for you!

Grapefruit + Cherry Shake!

Welcome to Superfood Sunday! I don’t know about you, but for me… sometimes I end up mixing up the same shake every single weekday. There’s nothing WRONG with that because if it’s not broke, why fix it, amiright?

Today, I challenge you to try a new smoothie recipe. I’m blending up this Grapefruit + Cherry Shake!

• 1 cup sparkling water, divided use

• ¼ cup 100% grapefruit juice, unsweetened

Instructions

1. Place ½ cup water, grapefruit juice, ice, Shakeology, orange, and cherries in a blender; cover + blend until smooth.

2. Add the remaining ½ cup of water; mix well + serve immediately.

I always blend for 1-1.5 minutes to give it the best texture. Experiment with how much ice + liquid you use to get the creaminess you desire. Share your tips below in the comments. I’m always up for learning more tricks!

Chocolate Recover Shake

After you’ve done your actual cooldown, what is your post-workout routine?

For me, I like to make my Recover shake (cools me down, literally) while checking in here! Recover speeds muscle recovery, combats exercise-induced muscle soreness, reduces muscle breakdown, and improves your muscle strength recovery. The fact that it tastes like a Frosty is an added bonus 🤣 If you’re in a rush, you can just “shake” it up in your blender bottle that you got free with your order, but if you have 60 seconds, blending it is OH-SO-GOOOOOOD!!

Here’s my current go-to recipe to cool down post-workout!

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or soy milk)

• 1 scoop Chocolate Recover (I use vegan formula so it’s dairy free)

• ½ large banana (for men, use 1 full banana post-workout)

• 1 cup frozen cauliflower

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Combine almond milk, Recover, banana, cauliflower, and cinnamon in a blender; cover and blend until smooth. That’s so stinking easy, amiright??

Yield: 1 serving.

Portion Fix Containers: 1 Green, 1 Purple, 1 tsp (does not count as a Red if you drink it within 30 m minutes of exercise. any other time it is 1 Red)

2B Mindset: For more information on how to incorporate Beachbody Performance into 2B Mindset, see the “2B Mindset and Exercise” video in the 2B Mindset Program Materials section on BOD - incorporating Recover will vary based on the intensity of the program you’re doing!

Shakeology Cookie Dough

Some things can be simple and delicious and this is one of those things. If you have a sweet tooth, this is low in sugar and meets the needs for those cravings. My Life Coach Teacher, Shannon Conway, shared this with me and it had me at hello, if you know what I’m saying ;o)

Ingredients:
* 1 scoop / packet Vanilla Shakeology (vegan or whey)
* 1  TBSP Original Ghee (from Amazon)
* 1-3 TBSP milk (DF or reg)
* 1 TBSP creamy nut butter (make sure it's clean!)
* 1-2 TBSP chocolate chips

Directions:
1) Heat 30 seconds in microwave.
2) Stir in Milk and Nut Butter.
3) Mix for 30 seconds.
4) Add Chocolate Chips.

1-2 servings

Cocoa Nut Butter Protein Balls

These are sooo easy and can be modified however you want if there are allergies!

Ingredients:
- 5 cup QUICK oats (old fashioned requires more sweetener IMO)

- 1 cup any Creamy nut 🥜 butter (just make sure it’s clean and there’s no added sugar or oil)

Yogurt, Shakeology powder, loose granola on top! 1.5R, 2Y, 2 tsp

- ¾ cup sweetener of choice (I combined local Honey🍯 and Pure Maple Syrup)

- ½ cup cocoa

- 2 scoops / packets Shakeology (any flavor and either whey or vegan will do)

** if for a kids’ class, you could switch 1 cup of Oats with 1 cup Rice Krispies for a crunch

**other modifications can be diced cranberries, nuts, coconut or chocolate chips. These will require more sweetener to make it sticky enough to hold, so instead swap out ½ cup Oats for these modifications.

Directions:
1. Mix together with a mixer or you’ll get an arm workout too. It doesn’t matter which order you add ingredients, I mix once all are in the bowl.
2. Roll into balls (24-30), or put in a 13x9 pan and make bars (yields ~20-22 bars depending on thickness).

Serve with plain greek yogurt for breakfast (see above) with 2 - 3 balls (these are sweet enough so you don’t need a sweetened yogurt like Vanilla, and then you forgo the additives that aren’t great for you anyways). You can also put additional Shakeology in your yogurt and stir together before topping with loose granola, or crumble a few balls.

For lunch these can be a healthy carb (2-3 balls), or for snack (kids 4-5 balls, adults 2). These are heavier than my 21-Day Fix Granola Balls so I limit these to heavy fitness days like training, or days I work out for longer than 40 minutes.

Let me know how you like them! I find them very kid friendly!
