Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Smoothie

It’s time to throw the term cheat day out the window… because what you eat isn’t a moral reflection on who you are as a person 🙌  Cheat is a loaded word that implies that you should feel guilty for what you’re eating.

Eating a carrot doesn’t make you a better human than someone eating a chocolate bar, so I really do want to challenge you to eliminate the word CHEAT from your vocab when it comes to food… and treat yourself instead.

Having a healthy relationship with food means enjoying things you love + fitting them into this incredible lifestyle you’re creating for yourself. Ok? Ok.

Now, who doesn’t love a dark chocolate + sea salt combo 😍 Throw in some superfoods and this is an amazing way to start your day.

- ¼ tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

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)

- 1 medium strawberry, sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

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

2. Place mousse in a medium serving bowl; garnish with strawberry if you want! Other fun toppings could be shredded coconut, other sliced fruits, or even cacao nibs.

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.

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!

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)
