Peaches & Cream Shakeology

1/14/15

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!!




Quick Chili Recipe

10/22/14

This recipe is healthy, quick, easy and not to mention SUPER CHEAP!!!!

I know I cant be the only out there who HATES to cook. It wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to clean up after I cook. Ya know what I mean.

So... when I do cook, I make it quick, easy, and use the least amount of pots and pans as possible!

::Okay so heres what you need, 5 ingredients. THATS IT!!!::

- 1 package of turkey burger
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 can of kidney beans
- 1 can of crushed/diced tomatoes
- 1 pack of chili seasoning



First get one large pot, put your turkey burger in the pot and start browning your turkey. 

(Ew raw meat grosses me out)
Next put in your chili seasoning. I like that it soaks into the meat and gives it a lot of flavor.

(Someday I would like to start making my own seasoning, but for now, I make sure to get the 30% less sodium)

Next I mix in my crushed/diced tomatoes and the kidney beans. 


















(I personally like to add diced tomatoes instead of the crushed. I like thicker chili but my sister likes it more thin and soup like. And I like to add pinto beans and black beans)

Lastly, I add in the tomato sauce.


I like to let it cook for 15-20 minutes just so that all the ingredients mix together and the for the flavor!!

BUT

If you are impatient and cant let it cook for 20 minutes - crank up that heat and let it cook for 5 minutes and eat!!!

I like to add one more thing to my personal bowl and that is CRUSHED RED PEPPER, YUM!!!


The meal costs around $10 and feed over 4 people and there are still left overs for the next day!!

Are You Ready To Change Your Life?

10/20/14

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?

Zucchini/Squash Pasta

7/21/14

While being on the 21 Day Fix, you have a ton of options on what you can eat... but I used up all my carbs yesterday morning for breakfast (wheat toast) and wanted spaghetti sooooooo bad for dinner.

I decided to make spaghetti, just a healthier, 21 day fix approved meal -  Zucchini pasta.
We had both zucchini and squash, and 4 mouths to feed, so I used both!!

Step 1: We went out and bought an "AS SEEN ON TV" product, its called the Veggetti Slicer. Be careful that you don't accidentally slice your own finger, it hurts!

Step 2: Set oven to 250* F

Step 3: Start by putting your zucchini and squash through the slicer and twisting the vegetable to get thin slices.

Step 4: Get a baking sheet and put paper towel across the baking sheet. (the paper towels will dry out the moisture and made the veggies softer)

Step 5: Spread zucchini/squash around on the baking sheet. Make sure its a thin layer so the moisture will absorb better.

Step 6: Let it bake for 20 minutes.

Step 7: Carefully remove veggies from paper towel. (Sometimes the paper towel will stick to the veggies)

Step 8: Serve!



Dinner is served!!! 

According to the 21 Day Fix containers
1 Yellow - Parmesan Cheese
1 Purple - Tomato Sauce
1 Red -  Chicken 
1 - Green - Zucchini and Squash
