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!!

• 1 Scoop of Greenberry Shakeology
• 1 cup of almond milk
• 1 cup of water

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!

Sea Salt Caramel Shakeology Recipe

If you are anything like me, you LOVE sweet treats. Honestly every night after dinner, I want something sweet (I take after my mom)!!! There are so many times, I want to drive to our local store, Wegmans and get their delicious Sugar Cookies, they are literally to die for!! But lets be honest, those cookies dont love me back and its not worth eating one cookie and ruining a whole weeks worth of healthy eating.

A couple months ago I found this recipe and decided I needed to try it out for myself.

I actually am drinking it as we speak! Today is my first time trying it!!!

So here is how I feel about Sea Salt Caramel Shakeology!!!
Honestly, I wasnt expecting it to taste much caramel because to me chocolate Shakeology is a strong chocolate taste and I am really not much of a chocolate person, so I dont really drink the chocolate Shakeology much. But, this recipe, you can TOTALLY taste the caramel and the chocolate doesnt taste as strong!

I downed my shakeology this morning it was so good!

Here is the Recipe!!!!!

Im not really a person who measures, so just bare with me!!

• 6 ice cubes 
• 1 scoop of chocolate shakeology
• 1 splash of caramel extract (I read somewhere that people were having a hard time finding the caramel extract, but I found my at good ole WALMART)
• Put all your ingredients in the blender, and start putting water in the blender until it fills up a little past all your ingredients. (I told you I didnt measure, haha)
• Blend it all together!!!
• Pour it into your cup and sprinkle a little sea salt on the top of your Shakeology!!!

How to make Reese's?

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!!
