Shakeology boosts & Butter Cookie Shakeology recipe

13. March 13 - Saturday.jpg

Last week, we talked about our newest supplement; today, we’re going to kick it old school with 3 of my favs: Shakeology boosts!

Anyone of us who drinks Shakeology feels the benefits first hand: less cravings, better digestion, clearer skin, stronger hair and nails… the list goes on and on! Did you know you can make that list even longer with a boost? (Or two… or three?!)

🥗 Power Greens - You can Google “powder greens” and find a number of other products out there, but I bet none of them have the clean, superfood ingredients of Power Greens! Spinach, chlorella, kale, cucumber, celery, and Matcha green tea come together in this incredible formula designed to up your daily veggie intake each day.

⚡ Focused Energy - Think a cup of coffee, plus a Matcha green tea latte, plus… well, actually don’t think! Just add this Focused Energy boost into your life! Called the “superfoods supercharger”, Focus Energy takes our usual superfood blend up a notch with ingredients designed to improve alertness, support mental clarity, and help your body adapt better in times of stress. Who doesn’t need that?!

🥤 Digestive Health - This boost packs a two-part punch; chicory root and pea fibers to support a regular gut + insoluble and soluble fiber to support digestion and cardiovascular health! How could so many health benefits be in one tiny scoop? You’ve heard of Chia and Flaxseeds, right? Yup, they’re in here too - amazing! On the days you’re feeling irregular, bloated, or just not right, Digestive Health has got your back!

Which Shakeology boost sounds like the one for you?! Reach out about getting your hands on them and then add it to this amazing recipe below to reap all the benefits, ASAP!

Pilates Move of the Day - Planks and Tricep Circles!

Everyone loves a good plank challenge, amiright? But a ton of people (read that as “most people”) do them wrong. If you can go multiple minutes and you aren’t shaking all over, you might want to do this in front of a mirror, or video yourself, to check your form. This is a hard move and it’s a full body workout. Your deltoids, shoulders, abs, glutes, are ALL working! Most of all, you don’t want to be a camel (with your butt in the air), or a hammock (with a saggy bottom) so think of a board resting on your back and a glass of water resting on it — you do not want to move!

How long could you go? And what about those tricep circles? This was one of the hardest pilates moves for me to learn and I still think I can improve. But the burn is serious and this moves make me think about it all day long. Love does like that!

Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Smoothie

4. February 4 - Thursday (Option 1).jpg

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.

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

- 1 cup ice

- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology (Whey or Plant-Based)

- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

- ¼ tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

Instructions

1. Place almond milk, ice, Shakeology, cocoa powder, and salt in a blender; cover and blend until smooth.

Chocolate Mousse

18. February 18 - Thursday.jpg

“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.

This recipe makes 1 serving.

New You Tube "Pilates" series - with a 'Move of the Day'!

I’m so exited to share something new I’m doing!!! And you benefit from it every week!!! I’ve signed up to become a Certified Pilates Mat Instructor with Studio Pilates! I’m beyond excited to help others, but I’ll start with helping myself because in the last two years, my posture has gotten lax and I’ve slowly gotten a curved back, which I am too young to have!!! So I’ll be using these moves to strengthen my core, my lower and upper back and then start helping others. These moves aren’t high impact, but THEY WORK and you will feel the burn. Trust. Me. On. This. ;o)

Let me know if there are specific ares you want to focus on and I’m happy to share some moves with you. Each day you’ll see 1-3 moves for a targeted area. Join me, this is going to be fun, challenging and rewarding!

Pumpkin Cheesy Frittata - yes please!!

This is one of the most flavorful meals and it is so well balanced, you can eat it by itself, or with a side salad or toast. I’ve made this three times this month and my entire family enjoys it, even my seven year old son. So yeah, you need to make this pronto! I tried to capture each step in photos, but missed the eggs / milk / cheese combination before I poured it in.

Here’s the recipe I made, but there are lots of variations you can make.

Ingredients:

-4 eggs and 16 egg whites (2 cups egg whites) or 8 eggs (but higher fat and lower protein)
-¼ cup soy milk **(could use any milk alternative, or regular milk - watch what you choose b/c coconut milk will be more fat, reg milk will be more carbs, and soy milk will be more protein, so choose according to your goals)
-¼ cup cheese, any kind (I prefer the flavor of Parmesan in this dish)
- 500 grams pumpkin, washed, peeled and sliced in 1cm pieces
- 1 red capsicum sliced in 1 cm pieces
- 2 cups spinach leaves, washed (could use kale, arugula, or a combination of them all)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- seasoning of choice (I just used Himalayan sea salt and pepper) ** garlic and onion would go well with this dish, but due to allergies in our household, I didn’t add them. Give it a go though!

Directions:
1) Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with olive oil. lay the pumpkin single layer across baking sheet and same with peppers. Spray with olive oil again and roast for 15 min at 350 degrees.

2) leave a thin layer of pumpkin on the bottom of the pan and then layer with roasted red peppers. Top with greens of choice (I did arugula and spinach, remember this shrinks down big time so you can never add too much veggies!

3) Combine eggs / egg whites, milk and cheese together with a whisk and pour over pumpkin and veggies. Salt and pepper lightly, you can always add more once you’re serving it.

4) Cook at 350 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes depending on your oven.

Here are a few different ways I’ve enjoyed this, but really, the ideas are endless! This has sweetness, saltiness (depending how you season it) and hides so many veggies that it’s great for kids that might shy away from them otherwise. Try this out and let me know what you think!

Avocado Brownies

25. February 25 - Thursday.jpg

3 Ways to Eat Like You Love Yourself

❤️ Have fun + be creative - from meal planning to grocery shopping to cooking… have fun with your food! For example, you can take out a new cookbook from the library, hit up the farmer’s market, or cook a beautiful breakfast for your family!

❤️ Take time to enjoy your food - put down the cell phone + turn off the TV, friends! When you focus entirely on what you’re doing (in this case, eating), your body will be more in tune with what you’re eating... and when you are full. 

❤️ Be mindful - don’t overcrowd your kitchen… not with chocolate bars + chips nor broccoli + salads either! Instead, take time each week to plan + prep. That way, you don’t feel bad having to throw out perfectly good food because it’s gone bad before you can eat it (I’ve been there) or force yourself to eat something that doesn’t feel good to you.

I’ve got one more delicious recipe for you this month, so let me know if you try these Avocado Brownies (and see if your fam can guess the secret ingredient!)

Ingredients

- ½ cup gluten-free, all-purpose flour

- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

- 1 tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil

- 1 cup mashed avocado

- ½ cup + 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

- 2 large eggs

- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

- 1 dash sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a 9x12 baking dish with parchment paper, with paper coming up the sides of the dish. Coat with cooking spray + set aside.

2. Whisk together flour + cocoa powder in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.

3. Place a double boiler over low heat with water 1-inch deep in the bottom. Add the chocolate and coconut oil to the top of the double boiler and stir occasionally until melted. Set aside.

4. Place the avocado, maple syrup, eggs, extract, and salt in the blender; cover and blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl.

5. Stir melted chocolate into avocado mixture. Fold in flour mixture, adding ⅓ of the mixture at a time, until fully combined.

6. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until firm on top. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish.

Cut into 12 pieces and serve right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days!

This recipe makes 12 servings.

New piece of paper to hang on my wall!!!

Big shout out and THANK YOU to everyone that pushed me, encouraged me, knew I could do it even before I believed (and listened to me complain) ... I DID IT!

Most don't know this about me, but I went to college with dreams to work for the Big 4 accounting firms (was the "Big 6" when I started at Elon University) and I did it!! I thrived at KPMG, had success, money, and passion, but was missing "helping people".

Fast forward 10 yrs, when Tyler was born, I stayed home 7 yrs before doing a complete career change, one that I never saw coming! I started a health and fitness business over 5 yrs ago, which stemmed from my mom being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. You can say my perspectives changed quite A LOT!

Then I wanted more! I didn't want to have only 1 way to help people or just be a motivational coach (although I hope I'm motivating), but I wanted to have answers for specific questions and really BE THE CHANGE for people. Personal Training seemed the solution, but it was expensive to obtain, a long process, and intimidating -if I'm being honest. But, as the saying goes, "suck it up buttercup!"

I'm stoked to announce I'm a Certified Personal Trainer with National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and am proud as hell.

I hope if you're still reading this and thinking about something you've always wanted to do, but said you didn't have time because you're a parent, caregiver, spouse, whatever... I HOPE YOU DO IT! It feels so rewarding on the other side and I still parented, honored my spouse, did all the things, but instead of TV , movies , scrolling FB or Insta , I studied . I studied a lot. My butt got sore from studying more than it did from exercise, but I'm all the wiser for it now.

What's on your bucket list that if you had more time you'd ______?

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!
