Oreo Cookie Shakeology

How good does this look?!Oreo Cookie Shakeology

Oreo Cookie Shakeology!! Yes, you could substitute other forms of protein powders but then you’re not getting the super foods & minimal processing Shakeology offers.

Some don’t care when it comes to their shakes. Where you splurge & don’t splurge is YOUR business, no judgement here!!

Ezekiel Wraps with Turkey Burger

/in , , , /by

Ezekiel WrapsBe honest, would you eat this?

This was dinner! It’s only about 350 calories but I had piece of dark chocolate too, plus I had a HUGE Shakeology at 5pm so this was just another small meal. YOU have to figure out what YOUR body needs, don’t base it off my calorie intake.

Your size, age, activity, workouts, genetics, age, etc are different. I suggest the 21-Day Fix if you’re lost on nutrition. But if you eat clean & avoid empty calories, you can eat more & feel fuller longer.

Matt & T had their turkey burgers too, we just each had them differently.

I always like bread involved so I chose an Ezekiel wrap with my turkey burger.. These & the Food For Life Brown Rice wraps are my current favorites.

On top of the Ezekiel wrap is baby spinach , salsa, nonfat plain Greek yogurt standing in for sour cream, & slices of turkey burger (no special recipe, just seasoned with Mrs Dash). ! I skipped the reduced fat feta cheese this time. But add avocado and/or cheese if your heart desires & it fits your macros/nutritional needs (or your 21-day fix containers) !

Green Tea

/in , , , /by

Green TeaI’m doing Decaf Green Tea in the afternoons now! I already get green tea extract in my Shakeology, but this is just something to warm me up & get some more antioxidants & hydration in at the same time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shakeology Bread Pudding

/in , , , /by

Shakeology Bread PuddingOk, I’m not gonna lie.. I think I’m pretty genius with this one!

I am always trying to find a way to make fun things out of things that are HEALTHY! So this is a “treat” or small meal you can feel no guilt eating!! Approx 300 calories & loaded with protein, vitamins, antioxidants, & superfoods!

RECIPE:
Pudding mixture:
4 T vanilla unsweetnd almond milk
2 T “Just Great Stuff” or PB2
1/2 scoop choco Shakeology
Stir/mix together.

Take half of an Ezekiel English Muffin bread, toasted from frozen state to be piping hot & soft but not actually toasted/crunchy.

Tear the English muffin half into small pieces & mix it into the “pudding”.

Top with sweetened-to-your-liking nonfat plain Greek yogurt or frozen yogurt. I sweetened my nonfat plain Greek yogurt (high protein), with 2 packs Stevia. You could add to that or substitute other sweetener or Tbsp honey.

I do not think the pudding by itself is sweet enough. But the hot & cold, sweet & superfoods.. That’s my wheelhouse!

Protein Superfood Bars

/in , , , /by

Protein Superfood BarsA superfood-packed sweet treat?!

These are the Superfood Shakeology Bars I referred to in my last post. My recipe is a modified version of the recipe that comes with the 21-Day Fix.

I excluded the raisins & chopped nuts, out of taste preference.

Disclosure: I think I like my “Superfood Shakeology Protein Bites” better where you freeze them, BUT hubby & T both like these better.. you decide!

RECIPE:

4 scoops Choc Shakeology
2 c quick oats/dry oatmeal
1 c Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 c Natural Peanut Butter

Mix all in a large bowl & place in an 8×8 pan. Refrigerate 3 hrs.

Topping: I used “Just great Stuff” & Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Nibs, both from Amazon.

Makes 24 small but RICH bars, approx 80 calories & 5g protein in each.

Favorite Travel Blender

/in , , , /by

favorite travel blenderWhat’s YOUR favorite travel blender???

I still HIGHLY recommend the Oster Blender (bought mine at Target) as an awesome 20oz Travel Blender. A little ice from the hotel, a banana (maybe a Peanut Butter packet too) & your Shakeology ..and you’re good to go for a healthy high-protein meal instead of eating at a restaurant AGAIN. It’s always a life-saver for me when I travel.

What’s YOUR fav?

love pinkThe verdict is in…The new Strawberry Shakeology is delicious!!

I had mine as a post-workout meal with ~1c ice, 1c Vanilla unsweetened Almond Milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 scoop Vanilla Hydrowhey (by Optimum Nutrition) & 1/2 banana (& blended until creamy of course). You don’t have to add extra protein.
