My FAVORITE Shakeology

Alright I made my all-time best shakeology ever last night and I just had to brag about and share...I made a youtube video on how to make it too - but umm...cant find my camera cord to upload it, bummer!

So, I started thinking I LOVE LOVE LOVE strawberry cheesecake...so why not make a strawberry cheesecake chocolate shakeology? 

What you will need:
  • Sugar Free Fat Free Cheesecake Pudding mix (you can get this from almost all major grocery stores)
  • about a 1/2 cup - 1 cup of fresh strawberries - cleaned and cut
  • 1 cup vanilla soy milk (or if you dont like soy milk use regular fat free or 2% and almond is great too)
  • 1 Scoop of Chocolate Shakeology or 1 Package
  • Ice to taste 
I start by pouring the soy milk in first and then the shakeology...just so it doesnt get all clumped and stuck at the bottom, add the pudding mix, blend a little, then add in your strawberries and ice, blend it up real good (about 20 seconds) and BAM you have a HEALTHY dessert!

ENJOY!

BeachBody for ME!!!

Ok, since I have become a coach with Beach Body, in less than a month I have accomplished sooo much - not only in my weightloss journey, but in my personal growth journey as well. Everything that BB has done for me, has been nothing but positive - I see things so much different, I dont just sit on the right path - Im truckin it down the right path and making a difference! I see a difference in the friends I am making and the friends I already have, whether I am steering away from the negative ppl in my life or joining a group of up-beat positive people! I have come to realize in a short period of time, I do not need debbie downers or negative nancys interfering in my life...

I have also decided to take the step and become a certified coach and teach turbo kick - ahhhh YAY! Chalene Johnson and her sister Jenelle Summers are such inspiring people and I am actually getting teary eyed from how happy I am that I learned about Turbo and what being a leader and coach is all about - they gave me that! THANK YOU! - and even that is not enough!

What's Shakeology Exactly?

Ok, so I have so many people coming up to me wondering, "What the heck is Shakeology" "Does it taste good" "How much do you have to drink" "When will I notice a difference" and etc etc... I could literally go on and on! So here it is people...MY definition of what Shakeology is and how it has changed my point of view about health shakes!

I have tried it all...and like most it doesnt do what it is supposed to do - I am always hungry like an hour later, hello where is McDonalds when you need one!  Seriously, its like eating at a super nice restaurant, you order a salad, they bring you a leaf, you order a full entree and you get a mini appetizer...and then you are stopping at Taco Bell on the way home wondering why you just spent $300 dollars on a meal that barely did anything! 

Well, I am here to tell you, this is not the case with Shakeology.

I drink a Shakeology almost everyday and it keeps me full and energized, I dont have to take a multivitamin anymore if I didnt want to - its the healthiest meal of my day!  I have noticed it curbs my appetite, definitely helped with my weight loss and it is loaded with protein!  I have more stamina and I feel fuller longer.  And the best part - it tastes good.  I have come up with so many recipes it isnt funny...I just start throwing in fruit with my greenberry, add some vanilla soy milk, ice, and voila (SP?) - its a fruit smoothie that will fill you up like a meal and costs less per serving than going to a drive thru and eating 1000 calories worth of food.  At less than $4.00 a serving you cant get a full nutritious meal for that price. 

Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula. Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

Shakeology can help you:
- Lose weight
- Reduce cravings
- Increase energy and stamina
- Promote healthy digestion and regularity

Fun Fact: Being a Beach Body coach can save u $180+ a year on Shakeology! Plus it only costs coaches $3 a serving! That's cheaper than Jamba Juice and V8 (tastes better too) and it's way cheaper than a big mac meal at mcdonalds!
