Reduce heat to medium-low and gently boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat.

Vegan Slow-Cooker Stew

Remember our “Two Bunnies”?
🐇 Water first, veggies most
🐇 Weigh yourself each day and track your food

Today we will explore “Veggies most”! On each of the 2B Mindset plates (3 meals a day, one snack option), Ilana explains the importance of veggies! For breakfast, veggies are a bonus in addition to high protein, whole carb choices on your plate. For lunch, veggies should take up around half of your plate and for dinner, veggies are EVERYWHERE in addition to a protein!

If you follow the Ultimate Portion Fix, you may be thinking, no yellow container? How many greens in EVERYWHERE? How many proteins do you get in a day? The mind shift between the two programs is tough because they are SO different. There is no counting in 2B Mindset because the point of the program is to explore your eating habits, reconnect with what your body needs and how it feels before, during and after you eat!

Yes, carb-free dinners and full plates of veggies sounds challenging at first, but it is amazing how FULL and satisfied you can feel with the right veggies on your side!

Here is carb-free, veggies-most favorite to try!

Basil Strawberry Lemonade

If you haven’t, you are in luck, because this month is all about makeovers and these products just might be the extra extra you need in your daily routine.

First up, Bevvy 🍹 This is our newest fit club product + it’s a low-cal drink mix that curbs afternoon cravings and gives a gentle boost to get through the rest of your day.

Ingredients

- 1 cup water

- 1 cup ice

- 1 packet Lemon Beachbody Bevvy

- ¼ cup fresh (or frozen) strawberries

- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Cauliflower Ice Cream - it's trendy and it's worth sticking around for!

I mean, let’s be real… what can’t cauliflower do at this point? And just like this unassuming vegetable, I want you to remember - you can be anything you want to be.

You’ve seen cauliflower become pizza, nachos, rice… and we’re transforming it today into ice cream 🍨 And let me be clear - if you want real ice cream, you should eat real ice cream! Depriving yourself of the foods you love won’t makeover your mindset; it will just make you miserable. But this recipe IS a fun way to transform a vegetable into a tasty snack, especially if you need to get some extra veggies into the family.

So, will they be able to guess that their dessert is actually made from riced cauliflower?! Let’s find out 🤣

Ingredients

- 2 cups riced cauliflower
- 1 cup dry-roasted cashews, soaked
- ½ cup canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup + 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp melted coconut oil
- 2 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. To soak cashews, cover with room temperature water + soak overnight, or cover with boiling water and soak for at least 2 hours. Drain and rinse.

2. Place a pot with water over high heat. Boil cauliflower for 5 minutes; strain through a fine mesh strainer and then rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Wring out the excess water using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.

3. Place the cauliflower, soaked cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut milk beverage, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth.

4. Pour the cauliflower mixture into an airtight container and freeze for 4 hours or until solid. Remove from the freezer 20-30 minutes before serving to let soften before scooping.

5. Store frozen in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you have an ice cream machine, you can place the mixture in and freeze on a soft-serve setting.

This recipe makes 8 servings (½ cup each).

Golden Chai Collagen Latte

Did you know that collagen levels begin to diminish in your early 20s and by age 35, most women need supplementation to have normal amounts that they used to produce on their own?

That means more lines, more wrinkles, finer hair, weaker nails… um, no thank you. Luckily, collagen is a supplement we can add to our daily routine, but we have to check for quality because there are all kinds of brands out there claiming everything under the stars, but don’t really produce any benefits!

Beachbody’s Collagen Boost is formulated with optimized bioactive collagen peptides shown to help stimulate the creation of collagen and elastin, and is 100% gluten free! It also taps out at 10 calories per serving, so you can add it to your superfoods or nightly tea.

Yup - collagen can be safely added to cold or hot drinks ☕, but all brands do not state this, so make sure and check the label if you’re drinking a different brand. Some require collagen to be mixed with cold beverages only and must be drank 30 minutes before a meal. My mornings are too busy to focus on that! Also there are 5 types so check and verify which types you’re buying!

Golden Chai Collagen Latte

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 1 bag chai tea blend
- 1 scoop Beachbody Collagen Boost
- ½ tsp. ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. honey (optional)

Instructions

Boil water and steep tea bags. Steep for 1 minute, toss tea bags. Stir in ginger and cardamom. In a small pan, heat brown sugar and milk until sugar has dissolved. Stir half of the milk mixture into each cup of tea. Mix in cinnamon and collagen boost. Find a quiet corner, put your feet up, grab a good book and enjoy!

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

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)
