Shamrock Shakeology

Who doesnt like a Shamrock shake?
I know I do, but my issue is where is comes from and how bad it is for you!
1st it comes from McDonalds and that is ewwy!!!
2nd it comes from McDonalds so you know its packed with things that arent meant for your body!!

I found this recipe on Pinterest but I decided to change it a little based on my experiences with making that recipe!!

Ingredients:

• 6 ice cubes
• 1 Scoop of Greenberry Shakeology
• 1 cup of almond milk
• 1 cup of water
• 1/8 tsp of peppermint extract 
• 2 tbsp of vanilla sugar free pudding

Blend & Enjoy!!




Please do yourself a favor and quit getting the Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds, and make your own!!!

Caramel Delight Girl Scout Cookie Shakeology

Well since its almost time for the Girl Scouts to start knocking on your door and asking if you want cookies, I thought I would help you guys out, so you can say NOOOO when they come to your door.

Resist that temptation!!!

If you like the Caramel Delight cookies, keep reading!!

Maybe they are called Samoa Cookies now, who knows?! I havent been a Girl Scout for YEARS... Either way this recipe is pretty DELICIOUS!!!



Ingredients:

• 6 Ice cubes
• 1 scoop of chocolate Shakeology 
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/2 tsp caramel extract
• 1/2 tsp coconut extract
• shaved coconut (your choice, based on how much you like coconut)
  
  
  
  I blended all my ingredients together and then since I LOVE COCONUT, I sprinkled more coconut on top of my shake!!
  I took my first sip not really sure what I should be expecting it to taste like, it 100% tasted just like to cookies!
  
  
  Try it for yourself! I would love to hear what you think about it!!
  

Peaches & Cream Shakeology

This recipe is one of my FAVORITES!

I downed it literally in 10 minutes and had a huge brain freeze! 

This might be my new go-to recipe!!

Ingredients:

• 5 pieces of ice
• 1 scoop of Strawberry Shakeology
• 1 small peach (with the skin taken off)
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of almond milk

Blend & Enjoy!

Dont let the color fool you! It really does taste like Peaches and Cream!
I was pretty surprised that I could hardly taste the strawberry Shakeology!!

Starbucks Caramel Frappe

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!

Are You Ready To Change Your Life?

I cant believe that its been almost one year that I decided to turn my life around. 

In December 2013, I decided that I was sick of feeling bloated all the time, sick of not eating healthy, sick of not being active.

BUTTTTT, I had no self esteem when I started and no confidence. I had tons of workout programs at my house but I never completed any of them. So when I started T25, I already thought I was going to fail. I couldnt even make it through Brazil Butt Lift and that was only a 4 week program, how was I going to make it through an 8 week program.

So I dove into T25.
I made it through the first week.
I made it through 30 days.
I made it through 60 days.

I completed my first workout program!!

Completing that program changed everything about me.
I now had confidence.
I now believed in myself.
I now had a different outlook on life.



Haley and I just completed our first "7 Day Clean Eating Challenge Group" and it was so awesome! (P.S. Go check out Haleys Blog, its awesome)

We had women in our challenge that lost 5-10 pound in literally 7 days!! How awesome is that?

Haley and I are teaming up again on October 27, 2014. We are going to run a 21 day challenge group. The program is focused on clean eating and short 30 minute workouts. Ohh and I forgot to mention the fitness instructor is smoking hot, her abs are to die for.
We will be bringing you recipes, our personal grocery lists, support, accountability and lots of fun!!!

Think about your life a year from now, 6 months from now, or 2 months from now.
The time is going to pass whether you take action or not.

Where will you be in a year?
