Starbucks Caramel Frappe

1/12/15

I got into a really big funk before Christmas time...

I wasnt drinking my Shakeology daily, it was like 2 days a week.... NAUGHTY, I KNOW!!
Heres why
1. I made 100 excuses why I didnt have time to make it.
And
2. I started getting sick of the flavor!!

NEW FLASH Kate!!!
1. Its the easiest meal you could ever make, you throw it into a blender (I figured out, I was just being lazy and didn't want to clean the blender)!!
2. Of course you are going to get sick of it, you are drinking the same flavor every day. Wouldnt you get sick of eating chicken, if you ate it every night for dinner, the exact same way?
There are multiple favors of Shakeology, so just switch to a different flavor.


Anyways!!!
I decided that this year I was going to drink Shakeology everyday and STOP being so lazy. It takes longer to boil water then it does to throw everything in the blender, pour it into a cup and wash the blender!! AND my body needs all the nutrients that Shakeology has!

So I started switching my flavors daily and looking up different recipes that would make it fun to drink!

TODAYS RECIPE!!!
Starbucks Caramel Frappe



Ingredients:
  • 1 scoop of chocolate Shakeology
  • 7 ice cubes or 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp of caramel extract
  • 2 oz. of chilled coffee


    Blend & Enjoy

    **And quit being lazy and wash your blender!! 

How to make Reese's?

11/10/14

Who doesnt like Reese's? 

I know that when they are in my house they get eaten so quickly.

So I decided to make a healthy version of Reese's, this way when I eat one, I dont feel guilty.

Ohh and did I mention, you need 4 ingredients and it takes less that 10 minutes to make!!

What you need:
2 tbsp Coconut oil
4 tbsp Chocolate Shakeology
2 tbsp PB2
2 tsp water


Step 1:
Heat up coconut oil for 30 seconds in the microwave.



Step 2:
Add in your Shakeology and stir.



Step 3:
Mix your PB2 and water.



Step 4:
Poor Shakeology mixture into the bottom of cupcake wrappers (we only had normal cupcake wrappers, but when you make this yourself, get the mini wrappers).
Poor some of your peanut butter mixture.
Lastly, finish with your top layer of Shakeology mixture.

Step 5:
Put them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!!!


So I made the Shakeology Reese's and of course wanted to try them to give you my honest review of how they turned out.

I put way too much chocolate in them. Ya know how normal Reese's have more Peanut Butter than they do chocolate? Well mine were opposite. So next time I need to change that. If you like a lot of chocolate, it might not bother you as much, but for me... I am not a chocolate LOVER.

Second--- I am a PEANUT BUTTER FREAK, and I didnt the PB2 was strong enough, you could taste it, but it was really a faint taste. So the next time I make them, I am going to use almond butter instead!!

I think I am going to make these sometime this week with the changes I think will help!!
**I am on the hunt for the mini cupcake wrappers, so let me know if you find any!!
