Why should I drink Shakeology every day? #AugustSurge

Banana Pudding Shakeology

I have created a NEW Shakeology Recipe...Banana Pudding!!! It was oh so delicious, too! I gulped it down so fast and was so disappointed when it was all gone! If you love bananas like I do you will love this recipe! Here ya go:

Banana Pudding Shakeology

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 graham cracker
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy....enjoy!

Oven Fried Flounder

This is a great alternative to eating traditional fried fish. My kids loved it and my 6 year old daughter wanted more! It is an easy week night recipe that doesn't take long and you won't feel guilty about eating it either. This recipe comes out extremely crunchy and full of flavor. Squeeze a little lemon juice on it and you are good to go. Here is the recipe:

 

Oven Fried Flounder

 

4-6 flounder filets washed and patted dry

1 cup crushed corn flakes

1/2 cup wheat flour seasoned to taste with old bay and a little sea salt

1 egg

1/8 cup fat free milk

olive oil cooking spray

 

Get two plates and one bowl. On one plate put the crushed corn flakes and the seasoned wheat flour on the other. In the bowl beat the egg and milk together. Take one flounder filet and dredge it in the flour shaking off excess. Next, dredge in egg/milk mixture and immediately roll in corn flakes. Spray top and bottom of fish and place on tin foil lined pan. Repeat with remaining filets. Cook on 450 for 12-15 minutes or until fish is done and desired crispness! Enjoy!

Chicken in Foil

With school starting back up and the kids getting involved with extracurricular activities, making dinner needs to be quick, right? You want it fast but still healthy. Here is a recipe I took from my Focus T25 nutrition book. Its' called Chicken in Foil. It is so simple to put together and it's literally the ENTIRE dinner in one tin foil packet. You can get other things done while this is cooking!!! Who doesn't love that! Here is the recipe:

 

Chicken in Foil

 

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

8 medium Red Potatoes

1 medium sliced sweet onion

Galic powder

Sea Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Fresh chopped parsley

 

Tear you 4 sheets of tin foil. Place your chopped potatoes on there and sliced onions on top of there. Put your chicken breast on top of the veggies (you can add additional veggies if you like) and season to taste with sea salt, garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and parsley. Bake at 375-400 for 45-50 mins!!!

Goal Accomplished

So, running a 5K without having to walk any of it has been one of my goals since I started my health and fitness journey a year and a half ago. Well, I kicked this goal in the face on July 20, 2013!!! My husband and I ran the Moonlight Miles 5K here in our town and both did a great job! Not only did I accomplish my goal, but I had a 9 min/mile...I have never ran under a 10 min/mile! Determination and inspiring others is what drives me to continue to be better!!!

Why I Became Beachbody Coach

 

They say a picture says a thousand words! Well, I totally agree. Anyone that looks at this before and after picture of me should see at least one reason why I am so passionate about being a Beachbody Coach. I want to HELP people! This has become my passion and what I believe to be my calling in life.

 

Although, I did not intially start my health and fitness journey with Beachbody, I have seen the biggest difference in my body since starting using their products. I use all of the products in the after picture on a daily basis. All of the pictures in this after picture were taken today. I started out with Shakeology and Turbo Fire in January. I am now doing the 8 week Foucus T25 Challenge (can't wait to post my before and after photos when I am done with the program)!!! I drank my Shakeology this morning, ate a clean dinner (tracking all my daily caloric intake in myfitnesspal), drank my E&E Preworkout Formula, did my Focus T25 workout and went for a little one mile run after and used my Polar Heart Rate Monitor to track my calorie burn and heart rate! This is how I keep myself on track!

 

I CAN HELP YOU with your goals, too! You can find me on Facebook, send me a private message and we can chat about what your goals are. I have tons of options to fit everyone's lifestyle! No more excuses...the time to change is now and I want to coach you from start to finish!
