On a scale of 1-10, 10 =obsessed… how much do you love PEANUT BUTTER???
This hit the spot!
Beware though, not all superfood smoothies are created equal. Most are heavily processed with ingredients formulated & produced in such a way to provide the product to the consumer in the cheapest way possible, NOT the healthiest way.
At least once every day, I’m either in a time crunch for a meal OR I’m wanting something nutritionally dense but AMAZING, so this is my go-to.
Do you do almond milk??
Btw, this SAVED us so many times on this Summit trip! I add oatmeal when I want/need it to be more calories. There’s only so many times you want to order room service or go out to eat when you’re away for 5 days. At least 1 superfood shake a day🍃🍒🍏🍓, plus lots of water & great workouts, helps keep away added weight & bloating when traveling 👍🏼
This is my go-to recipe right now!
This is one of my small meals every day; usually mid-morning or afternoon when I want something sweet. Questions about it? Comment here or Message me on Facebook
When I first started Shakeology several years ago, I had it for dinner w/ a small salad. My evening eating was out of control at the time! I’d be done with work for the day & try to eat a healthy dinner but my cravings & stress-release-eating would take over. Shakeo helped me put an end to that bad habit.
But even now, I still occasionally have Shakeology for dinner when I’m in a time crunch & off to one of my son’s games or if I’ve been off track with eating all day. Saying “screw it” at night & ordering the pizza or finishing off a box of cereal usually leads to regret (I only know from experience). You feel less in need of splurges when you get the right nutrients in your body
My afternoon meal was AMAZING!
This was 380 calories, 29g protein, 8g sugars …but 7 of those from superfood fruits in Shakeology & 1g in the PB. Counts are excluding the mini brownie crumbles bcuz it was so little (if you’re still concerned, do leaps across the kitchen while u blend🏃) -see Carolyn Bydlowski Hasley for a great #fitbrownie recipe.

Here is the Recipe
Blend Well!!
This was a post-workout MEAL on-the-go! 🏃🏃🏃🏃
1.5 cups Ice
1 cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 Tbsp Organic “Just Great Stuff”
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1/2 scoop Chocolate Recover
1/2 banana
Water added to achieve the right thin-ness (I don’t like mine too thick!👌)
BLEND WELL
I never get sick but came down with the stomach flu yesterday😝
I’m starting to feel a little better today & I think this blueberry banana concoction of superfoods will help me nourish & re-hydrate.
Recipe:
1 cup ice
1 cup Vanilla unsweetened Almond milk
1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
1/2 banana
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology or your favorite superfood shake!
That’s it! But sweeten if needed with your favorite sweetener (I use Vanilla “Sweet Leaf” stevia drops
Yes, I admit 🙈I’ll *occasionally* get a nonfat mocha (as I have said many times, I don’t eat/drink clean 100% of the time & a skinny nonfat latte is not “clean” in my opinion). BUT☝when I do get one, I hate how it makes me crave more food & sugar after I’m done😤!
Artificial sweeteners in sugar-free products & the 15g of real sugar from skim, will do that to you👿.If you get “skinny/nonfat” lattes or other drinks a lot, you might notice you have a hard time with cravings or you’ve developed a sugar/sweet addiction.
Even if you get Starbucks coconut milk, you’re still getting 9g sugar & artificial sweeteners that encourage cravings. Again, I still enjoy it occasionally but lately I’m ordering just a regular coffee when we go.
Some coffee houses offer Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk, which is great!👌It’s really all about drinking from those to-go cups anyway😁… something about that cup makes me think I’m having a treat
This is one of my favorites..
1 Cup ice
1 Cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 Scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1/2 Scoop Chocolate Chill Recovery
1 Scoop Shakeology Boost Power Greens
A couple drops mint extract
1/2 Banana.
The marshmallows were just FUN and for looks but they weren’t mint.. turns out they were KEY LIME flavor ! I guess that’s a good idea for my next shake! LOL
My FAVORITE post-lifting shake…
~350 calories & at least 27g protein
All sugars & carbs are naturally occurring from fruit & vegetable SuperFoods in Shakeology which you NEED after a workout more than anymore time in your day.
JUST GREAT STUFF: Some stores like Fresh Market, Kroger’s, possibly wholefoods , & Amazon .com sell it or you can get its non-organic equivalent (PB2) at Target and most grocery stores.
Regular, all-natural Peanut Butter is great too but after a LIFTING sesh, the whey needs to get to those muscles fast and the fat in Peanut Butter (although a healthy fat) slows the delivery. Go ahead with your regular PB if it’s just a shake replacing a meal, or a healthy treat or post-cardio but MEASURE it out as PB is high calorie easy to over-do for some of us (me).
