CHOCOLATE SHAKEOLOGY MUG CAKE



CHOCOLATE SHAKEOLOGY MUG CAKE
The healthiest cake you'll ever eat


The easiest cake you'll ever make


I've seen mug cakes before and thought why couldn't I do this with shakeology, its pretty much like a cake mix but healthy. This is probably the easiest cake you'll ever make, not to mention that it's jammed pack with super foods and it tastes delicious. Once I made it I couldn't stop thinking about the endless possibilities that you could make with it. One that came to mind was  PEANUT BUTTER...omgaaawd YES!! I had to try it.. Ummm hello this stuff it the BOMB.. 



Now you can have your cake and eat it too... I fully plan on experimenting more with Shakeology. Another thing that comes to mind is Food Prep you could easily premake these protein packed goodies for the week and they count as a meal. Woot! I just had one and it's just as filling, I also had a large glass of water with it.Totally  FULL and satisfied. This will be perfect if I'm traveling or don't have time to make a meal replacement shake.


What to do:
It's super easy. Spray a mug with cooking spray. Mix 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology with 1/4 C water in a separate bowl or cup. Once mixed add it to the mug and cook for 1 min 30 seconds. That's it, just like that =)
Enjoy

SUPER EASY CHICKEN CROCK POT MEAL



 SUPER EASY SANTA FE CHICKEN FOOD PREP 
IDEA ONLY 4 INGREDIENTS



SANTA FE CROCK POT CHICKEN
On any given Sunday I have some type of chicken cooking in my crock pot. I feel it's the easiest way to cook 5 lbs of chicken for the week, set it and forget it. The crock pot has saved me many times and it's essential to Food Prep if you want great results with achieving your goals. 

Before I started my journey it was a lot of fast food and not many home cooked meals. I was just too lazy to cook and wanted food fast ans NOW. A few years back one of my cousins suggested Italian crock pot beef. I decided to try chicken with it instead, I'm not much of a beef eater...but I do enjoy a steak every now and then.

4 INGREDIENTS THAT'S ALL



INGREDIENTS
  • 5 LBS FROZEN CHICKEN BREAST
  • 1 CAN NO SALT ADDED DICED TOMATOES
  • 1 BOTTLE LAWRY'S SANTA FE CHILI MARINADE
  • 1 T. FAT LOUIES GARLIC OLIVE OIL

POUR 1/2 CAN OF TOMATOES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CROCK POT, WITH 1/2 BOTTLE OF THE MARINADE

PLACE THE FROZEN CHICKEN THE POT ANS POUR THE REMAINDER OF THE TOMATOES ANS MARINADE OVER THE CHICKEN. LASTLY DRIZZLE 1 T. OF GARLIC OIL OVER THE TOP.

COOK ON HIGH 4-5 HRS OR LOW 8-10 HRS. ALWAYS CHECK THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE WITH A FOOD THERMOMETER, THEY RECOMMEND 165F. 

ONCE IT REACHES THAT TEMPERATURE I DRAIN THE JUICE AND PLACE IT IN A SEPARATE BOWL FOR SHREDDING. I USE 2 FORK TO SHRED THE CHICKEN AFTER IS COOLS DOWN A BIT, THEN STORE IT IN THE SAME BOWL. IT WILL LAST A WEEK BUT SOMETIMES I WILL FREEZE HALF OF IT IF I'M HAVING ANOTHER MEAT THAT WEEK ALSO. 

ENJOY THE FLAVOR IS FANTASTIC.

Banana Pancake Recipe
Pancake Ingredients:
1 Banana
2 Lg eggs
Chocolate topping:
1 T Organic Coconut Oil
2T Organic Dark Chocolate mini chips made with Stevia

Other Toppings:
Vanilla Greek Yogurt, Organic Coconut, and Organic Raspberries
Pancakes:
Cut up the bananas into 1 inch slices, crack 2  eggs into the bowl and mash them with a hand blended. literally takes 1 min. Depending on banana size sometimes I will add 1 heaping T. of organic coconut flour to thicken it up.


Fry them up on medium heat in 1 T. of Organic coconut oil. flip them when you see bubbles around the edges. Remember they are mock pancakes so the texture is different, it takes them a little longer to cook and they're not as fluffy. Set aside.
 
Chocolate topping:
Take 1 T. of chips and oil and add them to  a coffee cup and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. remove cup and stir chips. Keep doing this until you notice that its starting to melt, then add more chips and repeat. you need to be careful because chocolate burns quickly, so make sure you stir it a lot. Once its melted add it directly to the corner of a sandwich baggie. Squeeze it all to the corner twist the bag and snip the tip off to drizzle the chocolate mix.
What to Do:
The rest is pretty simple. Add a container of vanilla Greek yogurt on top of the pancakes,top with raspberries and coconut. Then Drizzle the Chocolate mix in a back and forth horizontal pattern. Walla! Now you have a breakfast that looks like it stepped out of a Culinary magazine and it tastes totally delicious. Enjoy!

CANDY CORN SHAKEOLOGY


CANDY CORN SHAKEOLOGY



I came up with this shake idea about a month ago when I seen another coach hold a contest for Beachbody's Super Saturday in Florida. I really wanted to enter it but I live in WI, not even close. I messed around with this one and the best way to serve this is making two separate shakes. Now you can make a simple vanilla shakeology, divide it and make the orange shake.....But when you add the orange juice it's way to runny. I prefer thick shakes..#allaboutthebass =) lol

I'm all about flavor too..I can't have just a simple vanilla Shakeology. Nope! This shake is definitely made for entertaining, everyone likes eye candy. It's the perfect shake for Shakeology Shake & Share Events. Its super easy to make, it tastes delicious, and its very colorful. Perfect for fall events too.


This Meal Replacement Shake is the perfect way to make sure your kids get all their fruit and veggies in. Some kids won't even touch  veggies because they resemble trees lol. I struggled with that one when my kiddos were little. Preparing this Fun shake would be an AWESOME way to make sure they were getting all the proper nutrients they need. They will love the flavor and guzzle it up. =) 


ORANGE DREAM SHAKEOLOGY

1 SCOOP VANILLA SHAKEOLOGY
1/2 RIPE BANANA
1/2 CUP 100% ORANGE JUICE
3-5 DROPS ORANGE EXTRACT
1 CUP ALMOND MILK
1 TSP VANILLA EXTRACT

BLEND ALL INGREDIENTS, POUR INTO AN EXTRA LARGE GLASS TO CHILL IN FRIG, RINSE OUT THE BLENDER TO PREPARE THE VANILLA SHAKE

EXTRA RICH VANILLA SHAKEOLOGY

1 SCOOP VANILLA SHAKEOLOGY
1 CUP ALMOND MILK
2 T SUGAR FREE VANILLA PUDDING MIX
1/2 T BUTTER EXTRACT
ICE TO BLEND

BLEND ALL INGREDIENTS AND POUR INTO A GLASS FILLING IT HALF WAY. NEXT FILL THE REMAINDER OF THE GLASS THE ORANGE DREAM SHAKE. TOP IT OFF WITH SUGAR FREE READY WHIP AND SPRINKLES IF YOU WISH.

RED VELVET SHAKEOLOGY RECIPE


RED VELVET SHAKEOLOGY RECIPE





I just created the Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Shake. After 4 failed attempts I was ready to give up! I tried multiple recipes with Vanilla Shakeology and nothing was tasting right or similar to red velvet at all. Then I had one of those light bulb moments WHAT IF...I try Chocolate. The first attempt tasted like extra sweet chocolate and that was about it. BUMMER!! I was getting frustrated until I started thinking outside of the box and I NAILED IT!! I even had my daughter and boyfriend try it out, both agreed it tasted just like Red Velvet Cake Batter.. Woooo Hoooo Finally!





The BEST thing about this shake is that its Actually a very healthy Meal Replacement that's full of 70 different nutrients. It's super dense, very filling, and is clinically proven to help you lose weight. BONUS!! If there is one thing I'm awesome at, it's making shakes taste extremely fattening.... but they're healthy. =) I've been making shakes for over 20 yrs and take pride in all my recipes. ENJOY it's worth it. 



RECIPE

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
1 cup Almond Milk
1 cup Ice
2 T. sugar free Cheese Cake Pudding Mix
1/2 T. Cherry Extract
1/2 T. Butter Extract
2 T. Jordan's Skinny Syrup-SF Red Velvet cake
also 3-5 drops of red food coloring

Clean Eating Cinnamon French Toast-(21 DAY FIX)

CLEAN EATING CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST
21 DAY FIX APPROVED




The 21 Day Fix is a nutrition based program that teaches you portion control with clean eating and exercise. It has literally changed the way I think about food and how much I consume. I've lost 12 lbs in 21 Days and would highly recommend it to anyone that struggles with portion control and nutrition, it's a game changer.




INGREDIENTS

  • EZEKIEL 7 SPROUTED GRAINS BREAD
  • 2 ORGANIC EGGS
  • 2 T ALMOND MILK
  • 2 T CINNAMON
  • 1 T PB2
  • 1 T ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
  • 1 BANANA
  • 1 T ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
  • ORGANIC COCONUT FLAKES
FRENCH TOAST
Place coconut oil in a skillet, heat on low then prepare the egg mixture. Whisk the eggs, almond milk and cinnamon together and set aside. Place bread in the bowl for 2 minutes flipping it over after a 1 min. Ezekiel bread is super dense and it takes time to absorb. Turn heat to Medium and place soaked bread into the skillet. Fry until lightly golden brown on each side. All ingredients are 21 Day Fix approved.

PB2 AND CHOCOLATE MIX
Mix PB2 as according to direction on the container. In a separate dish or cup, take chocolate chips and melt in the microwave 1 min at a time stirring it. Chocolate can burn easily so be careful. I also added a little coconut oil to make it smoother. Once the chocolate is melted place the PB2 in the microwave for 30 seconds.

TO SERVE
Cut your toast in half to create triangles, top with a sliced banana, drizzle with PB2 and Chocolate mixtures, and sprinkle with coconut if you wish. Yummo! This meal is very filling, I was actually satisfied with only half of it. 21 Day Fix ,yes you can have chocolate! =)



ENJOY!
