Brownie Batter Overnight Oatmeal

 Brownie Batter Overnight Oatmeal

I absolutely LOVE this Overnight Oatmeal In A Jar Recipe. It’s so easy to make and the results are delicious. Even if you’re not a fan of oatmeal, you will love this one. It’s creamy, sweet and packed with flavor and texture. Unlike that instant oatmeal they sell at the grocery store.
This is the perfect thing to dig your spoon in. Forget about breakfast, this also works as an afternoon pick me up. Add your favorite toppings and you’re good to go.

1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup lain low fat Greek yogurt (or mashed banana, or pumpkin)
2 tbs Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 tspSalt
2 tbs Baking stevia
1 cup Old fashioned oats
Prep time to make this recipe is 5-10 minutes.

Brownie Batter Overnight Oatmeal
 
 
Directions:
 

In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Divide between 2 small bowls, mugs, or mason jars. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour (or more) so the oats soften and absorb the liquid). Top with chopped nuts or topping of choice if desired! Enjoy cold, or microwave for 30-60 seconds to enjoy warm!

3 Day Refresh Results

3 Day Refresh Results

Hey there!  Welcome to my blog I look forward to sharing inspiring transformations with the 3 day refresh.  First off what is the 3 day refresh? After a weekend the thought of what went wrong its nice to know there is something out there that is easy to follow to cut the bad habits and help with getting back on track. The 3 DAY REFRESH IS A DRAMATIC CHANGE THAT WILL HELP CLEANSE YOUR BODY AND IMPROVE THE WAY YOU FEEL WITHOUT STARVING YOURSELF. 
           
Specially formulated shakes for 3-day results. Easy-to-prepare "clean" meals designed to help you lose a few pounds and never feel deprived.
 
If you've ever done a juice fast or an all-liquid cleanse that's high in sugars and low in protein, you may have found that you felt weak and sluggish. And any weight loss came right back. That's because liquid fasts can tax your organs, and mess with your metabolism.
The 3-Day Refresh is scientifically designed to do just the opposite. It detoxifies and cleanses, while supporting your metabolism with easy-to-prepare, nutritious whole food to help your vital organs reenergize. That's why you feel so good when you do the Refresh, and still lose weight at the same time! Your body functions more efficiently, and it helps burn fat.

 Each of the 3 days of the Refresh looks like this:
  1. 8-12 oz water first thing in the morning
  2. Breakfast – Shakeology plus a serving of fruit
  3. Fiber Sweep – digestive health drink (this is the same Detox drink from the Reset)
  4. Vanilla Fresh protein shake, 1 serving fruit, 1 vegetable, and 1 healthy fat (there are lists for all of these)
  5. 1 serving vegetable and 1 healthy fat
  6. Vanilla Fresh protein shake, 1 serving from the dinner recipes list, and optional 1 c organic vegetable broth
Lunch

3 Day Refresh Results

I help others with getting start and back on track and wanted to share results from current customers and coaches on our team. 


Unknown-
Excited here today!!! I know that we should not always be checking the scale. But I needed to be sure my 4 pounds loss from the refresh stayed lost. WELL - TODAY showed another pound gone after using the 21 day fix containers yesterday. Down 5 pounds in 4 days.
Packing my containers for work. Good attitude for the weekend.

Laura-
5.8 pounds and 1.5 inches!!! I'm ready to keep going to make my August 31st goals. It wasn't always fun, but I completed the refresh and I'm so very very glad that I did. I feel so excited.


 
Amy P.-
"Here are my official 3 Day Refresh results! I really want to preface my results with something first. I have always been a petite person but getting back to my starting size of 116.5 lbs took work. I ga...ined 45-50 lbs during each of my pregnancies. Clean eating, Shakeology, and the Beachbody workouts (mainly PiYo) got me back to my pre-pregnancy weight. It wasn't hard, but I was consistent and disciplined. I believe so much in these programs, especially for really busy people!

Now, my results for the 3 Day Refresh are 4 lbs lost. I also lost 2 inches from my waist and 1 inch from my hips. I've gained an appreciation for good and healthy food again, a realistic perspective when it comes to food portions, awareness of how much I used to eat unconsciously munching on snacks and my children's food. The Refresh really helped to break some unhealthy eating habits that I had picked up on my vacation a few weeks ago. I'm taking so much more away from these 3 days than just lost weight and inches. It is so worth the small effort to do the Refresh!"-Amy



3 Day Refresh Results

I want others to jump start and get back to feeling their best!!   My goal as a coach is to help others to reach their fullest potential sometimes life gets in the way and we put ourselves last.  I'm letting you know it's your time!!  I also like to share when there is a special and the 3 day refresh happens to be on sale as well.

Snip-Its of Life

Snip-Its of Life

Hey there!!  As I was spending the afternoon cleaning out stalls in the barn and taking care of the livestock I had time to think about the last month.  If you follow me you know a few things, my family is super important, I love anything country with class, enjoy being a business owner, and enjoy stretching the limits in life.  About four years ago taking that jump into being an entrepreneur has been well worth it but to be honest I still struggle with my best is just not enough.  And I know many others struggle with this being a mom there is a lot of pressure put on us from all angles.  Even my workouts have to be all in jumping higher, running faster, etc.  I decided to take a step back and for the past few weeks enjoying a low intensity workout call Piyo.  And you know what just like in life higher faster is not always the only way and the best way.  There are points in life you will go all in and points in life where you step back reevaluate where you’re going.  
 
 
Having our two horses while working out outdoors makes Piyo even more relaxing!!
Snip-Its Motivation
Feed your fears and your faith will starve
Feed your faith and your fears will.
Max Lucado
We all have fears and some might look something like this:
Fear of failing...

Fear of the unknown
Fear of what the cost will be
Fear of what others will think
Fear of our best not matching up to others
For me it's a consistent fear my best is never enough by nature I want to put my all into something and it's easy to get distracted by others. Put the blinders on there will always be others that are faster, smarter, make it look easier.
Focus on your own personal growth and find your purpose
We all have fear
But here is the good news
We all have faith
The question is which emotion will you allow to be stronger?

 

 
Snip-Its Life
About 11 days ago I packed the kids up and went to our favorite feed store to pick out fruit trees. Turns out this is a great time of the year to plant them.

Two years ago I missed working you know wanting to create something that was my own (beyond the traditional business). It would be silly to work for someone else and would not work with our traditional business and my number one priority our kids. So I looked into what a coa...
ch really did and how it could fit our lifestyle. Two years later and I have an amazing team of coaches and the cool part is having my sister in this as well. she brings the leadership mindset I bring the business mindset and together it's been pretty cool to watch grow.

I could not help but think of this while getting ready to put these bad boys in the ground. Not having to check with my husband to spend money on a project that will bring plenty of memories. Being able to be as creative and truly have fun while working when the kids sleep.

If you're looking for something more in life and would love to do some projects around the house why
not you?

Creating a system for new coaches and helping them succeed as well as creating other leaders.
 
 
Snip-Its Family
 
My parents met in a barn when my mom was 14 years old!! My dad came to take pictures of her horse.
You could say that was just the beginning
We moved to a 40 acre farm when I was just 4 years old
It was the kind or place shoes were optional and no matter who visited everyone was welcomed
We always had a few ponies and did 4-H as kids...

The station wagon and horse trailer got us from point A to B
When my parents decided to put the farm up for sale last year it was super hard for my sisters and I.
Thankful the little slice of heaven we grew up did not sell right away
It’s been a transition over the past year
Now being able to create new memories at a new farm
Already one broken bone on the dirt bike
 
 
 
Snip-Its Birthdays
Happy 4th birthday to our little man
Of course it seems like yesterday it felt like the hottest summer ever!! I was waitressing at the time and Clint just kept growing with no real reason to come. Ahhh he was born by c-section weighing 10 lbs! !
Steve has named all of our kids and his name was decided very quickly on Clint.
For 4 years his sleeping has been....well let's just say thank God its get...ting better.
He's one determined little guy that wants to know exactly how everything works.
He's probably the only child this age when your making plans he needs to "check his work schedule ".
Loves his cowboy boots and will not wear anything else even during the summer.
♡♡ seeing him growing up
 
 
 


Snip-It Dinner time
Do you have a husband that likes to see "meat and potatoes " for dinner every night? And your trying to eliminate making multiple meals just to feed everyone?

This is a solution dinner》》
I can't get away with salmon too often and the meal still needs to have potatoes so it's coconut oil in a pan with regular potatoes for my husband and sweet potatoes for myself for homemade french fries.
...

The kids love corn and salmon

I have a wonderful "healthy" meatloaf recipe on my blog that happens to be a big hit.
So it's a winner!
 

 

I hope your snip-its in life make you smile fill the soul and make an impact on those around you in a positive way.  Take deep breaths while cleaning up after your little one's, one day it truly will be just that a snip-it of your life.  As always live life to the fullest and make every day count!!

Coaching from home

Coaching from home

Hey there!!  Welcome to my blog it’s a Sunny Sunday in Pa!!  An odd time as a mother of three to have a home without little ones needing a drink, help in the bathroom, or screaming because one took a toy the other one was playing with.  I paint a picture of what 90% of my life as a mom of three looks like.  I want others to see I’m just like you!!  I started as a coach two years ago just wanting to connect with other mom’s, living in a small town a trip to the park it was odd to see others there.  Fast forward to now and I'm sitting on the patio connecting with woman from all over the United States from the comfort of our home, give me WIFI and I can work!!

Coaching from home

 
Two years ago I was not at my goal weight!!  I was in the middle of changing how I was eating and learning more about clean eating.  It started with as a coach that wanted  to inspire my family and let’s face it coaching becomes the ultimate accountability!!

Coaching from home

 
Sunday’s I know for a lot of woman can be hard, it’s time their rushing around the house in order to be out of the home 40 plus hours a week knowing their income might slowly go up at some point in time.  OR to the stay at home mom just wanting a way to earn income without having to put the kids in daycare to be able to work and provide for the family.  It's been such a blessing to show other coaches this is a real business and can truly work with their lifestyle.

Coaching from home

My coaching business is just like any business I was just running a few reports and checking where I was last July to where I am this past July and noticed my income grew 500%!!  My business mind was blown away!!  I mean I still work this business the same amount of time 20 hours a week!!  In a traditional business in order to grow your business 500% more than likely it means bigger risk, more hours, more headaches and more time invested.  Recently Bill Gates was asked if he had to do it all over again what would he change?  He would be involved in a network marketing business. 

Coaching from home

 
Yes income is a small part of why I wanted to build this business the other part is what truly takes place off of social media and the impact you can have on someone’s life.

 Building confidence

Saying good bye to medicine for high blood pressure

Kicking lifelong habits that could age a person

Going after a position at work

Looking their best after having kids!

So what does it take?

Well here is the thing many start few stick with it!!  You need the ability to see where you want to be well let’s keep it simple you need to be a dreamer!!  But dreaming isn’t enough to be a successful coach you must be willing to work and apply the training that is offered.  Yes I might be a coach that is signed up with one of the top coaches in the network but that means nothing if I wasn’t willing to work towards those dreams.  Being teachable is key it’s totally normal to not have a clue where to start but willing to learn!  Willing to step out of your comfort zone and understand those small choices made every day will add up to something amazing over time.  Willing to treat this business like you invest 100,000 not 40 bucks.  And that pretty much sums it up!!  I will be mentoring 5 new coaches in the month of September and showing them how to duplicate what I do, scripts will be given, social media training, weekly team calls, and access to getting in the best shape of your life from the inside out.
If you ever wondered if an at home business was right for you my team of amazing coaches would love to share with you more about what a coach does "beyond the workouts".
Coaching from home
 
There isn't a cookie cutter coach!!  The thing that matters is not your past but what your going to do with your life experiences to better those around you in a positive way. 
I'm a small town girl, that started with a small network, zero experience in this type of business, not leading much more than the dog on a walk to a girl when you search clean eating my name comes up, to over 15,000 followers on my like page country girl meets clean eating, and leading a team of amazing woman.
I will be hosting a 3 day closed facebook group starting this coming week to learn more about what a coach does and sharing with you on how to expand your network, how to earn income, the free trips earned, how to get started, how to work full time and coach and from there decide if this would be a good fit for you.

Cize Meal Plan

Cize Meal Plan

It's that time of the week where I sit down and plan out not only goals for the week but also what I will be eating.  Yes I know it kind of sounds crazy but it works.  How many times do you say to yourself this week is going to be better I'm going to set my alarm and wake up early?  Come Tuesday morning the pizza in the lunch room at work gets the best of you!!  I'm not perfect and those slip ups happen.  MY goal is to share with you a way to have a plan but stick to it as best as you can.  It's easy to get down on yourself and feel like you're in a rut!!  I'm here as you coach to shake you and wake you up and focus more on the solution then the problem. 


So the part of the solution is to have a plan, shop for the foods needed, and prep for the week.  As a busy mom and business owner I rely on shakeology for one complete meal a day that helps my general health all around.  With the rising increase in health care and coverage my goal as the woman of the house that does the cooking is to find recipes the entire family will eat.  I never want to raise kids and talk about "going on a diet".  I want to share with them and you as well how to create a lifestyle.  I will be starting a new workout program from Shawn T as well, called Cize.  It is designed for 30 days to have fun while sweating!!  From the 30 day workout program you can continue on for the more advanced dance moves that go with the base of moves you already learned the first 30 days.  The workouts last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes each day along with an ab workout that is intense (I tried it out already) as a mom that has had 3 C-sections this is a good one and plan on using it a few times a week to strength the core muscles.
 

This program is for those that need low impact maybe your coming out of an injury and have been cleared that you can workout, pregnant (cleared to do light workouts), have high stress at the office and truly you don't want to think while you workout, you enjoy programs like Zumba or dance.  Shawn T changes it up a bit and for sure is much more relaxed while working out with you.  On average most are burning between 350 to 450 calories during the workouts.

This IS NEW!!  And I will be opening up our very first test group!! You will have the chance to earn 500.00 cash from submitting your before and after pictures.  We all start together and finish together.  Oh and we eat pretty good while getting in shape check out this mornings recipe that fits in the meal plan.
Mix Berry Pancakes!!

Cize Test Group


Well it’s almost here!!  I’ve had a lot of folks asking what is this Cize workout all about?  And I want you to know when I first heard about it I thought NOPE not happing but I really wanted to say I tried the workout.  Beachbody on demand has allowed access to this program and a workout before it is released.  Over the past 4 weeks I’ve used the workout on my cardio days 2 twice a week.  Let’s just say my dance skills might be like wine it gets better with time.  I’m starting to feel I might not have two left feet and this country girl can have fun while doing cardio and it doesn’t need to be hardcore.
 
 
Cize Test Group


Working out to me is a mood setter!!  I enjoy a morning sweat session and sharing with others how to stay accountable while they do so.  This is a workouts designed to “end the trend” or exercising.  Yes we will be working out but instead of push-ups it’s going to be moving your hips.

Cize Test Group


I truly believe this will be a program your kids will want to join you.  My two year old and three year old have enjoyed the music and dancing around the living room in their own rythym.
Cize Test Group

The nutrition plan for this program will use a container system with easy to follow portion controls.  This program will be 4 weeks long and sat the end you will have the option to continue on to the second more advanced half or repeat the first half again.  I want to show you how to nail this nutrition thing while being a busy lady!! 80% of your results come from what you eat, so let me help you put the two together!!!


Cize Test Group

21 Day Fix Fruit Salsa

 21 Day Fix Fruit Salsa
Hey There!!  I love Thursday's in our kids language it's a "stay home day".  Pretty much it means I don't have to work outside of the home and we pretty much leave the day open to do whatever they would like to do.  I also like to keep things fresh and after two years of eating clean I enjoy making one new recipe a week.  Bingo we found it!!  Not only is it 21 day fix approved but the kids loved it as well.  I'm currently in the middle of doing a hybrid schedule of working out using Insanity Max 30 and ChaLean Extreme, ChaLean Extreme is designed to strength train three days a week and let's just say on those days my metabolism goes crazy and I like to keep extra water on hand as well as enjoying a treat like this.  Even though I love the 21 day fix workouts after being pregnant and doing it for the entire 9 months I was ready to change the workouts but still follow the 21 day fix nutrition guide.
 
21 Day Fruit Salsa

 

Ingredients
1 6inch whole wheat tortilla shell
1/2 small gala apple
1/2 purple container of frozen strawberries (partially thawed)
1 tsp of coconut oil
2 tsps of raw sugar
Cinnamon to taste
 
21 Day Fix Fruit Salsa

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Put your teaspoon of coconut oil in a small dish and melt it in the microwave (15 few seconds).
In a small dish place one of your teaspoons of raw sugar and sprinkle some cinnamon in until you get a nice even mixture of cinnamon to sugar. Place bowl to the side.
Take the tortilla shell and put it on a cutting board. Brush some of the coconut oil onto the tortilla shell until it has a slight coating over the whole shell. Then sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the tortilla shell. 
Cut the tortilla into small triangles (chips), and then transfer the chips over to a non-stick baking sheet. 
Place in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. 
While the chips are baking take your partially thawed strawberries and blend them and also dice up your apple into small pieces. Put the diced apples and blended strawberries into a small bowl. Sprinkle over your last teaspoon of sugar and mix. Put the bowl to the side
Once the chips are done, let them cool and then enjoy!

This counts as-Serves 1
1 yellow, 1 purple, 1 tsp (oils), and 2 tsps.


If you would like to join me with creating a healthy lifestyle I would love to share with you a system that works well for busy woman.
XOXO

Vegan Shakeology

Vegan Shakeology

What is Vegan Shakeology? Is Shakeology Dairy Free?
Vegan Shakeology Ingredients? Is Vegan Shakeology Gluten Free? List of ingredients? Cost? Recipes?


Hey there!!  These are great questions and in the last week I've been asked so it was time to create a blog post and share the info you've been asking for.

Is Shakeology dairy free?

The Tropical Strawberry and Chocolate Vegan Shakeology are dairy free, Lactose free and soy-free. They contain a new proprietary blend of plant-based proteins. It is ideal for those who cannot tolerate or wish to avoid whey protein. Many people find that a vegan protein is more easily digested by the body than animal protein.  Often times nursing moms find the Vegan option to be helpful.  Vegan shakeology is 100% Plant base-
  •   Maintain a healthy weight
  • Have fewer digestive issues
  • Feel lighter and more energetic

  •  

    Vegan Shakeology

    Taste?

    They’re smoother than ever!

    And while we beefed up our vegan flavors to make them more delicious to your 10,000 taste buds, we also added GMO-free oat protein to our original vegan protein blend of pea and rice, making the texture and consistency of our vegan shakes incredibly smooth and creamy. Plus, oat protein is a nutritious protein source that’s rich in essential amino acids (including leucine, isoleucine, and lysine). Nevertheless, you can’t go wrong with smooth and healthy.  This information has been pulled directly from the creators of Vegan Shakeology (dated May 27th 2014)

    List of ingredients-

    Vegan Shakeology


     Formula updated to help with texture and taste-

    Organic Agave Fruit powder is a wholesome, non-GMO, ingredient that imparts a sweet flavor which also contributes prebiotic fiber.  Although Shakeology was originally very low in sugar, this upgrade also lowered both the total sugar content slightly, as well as carbs.  As with most fruit, Agave contains fructose and has the added benefit of being naturally high in inulin, a prebiotic fiber, to support digestive health.  Unlike many of the cheaper sources of agave on the market, that use low quality materials and are enzymatically treated (similar to high fructose corn syrup processing) the organic agave used in Shakeology is naturally extracted without enzymes or chemical additives.

    Is Shakeology certified as Gluten Free?

    Shakeology is not certified gluten free. Although Shakeology is made with gluten-free ingredients, all Shakeology formulas are in a manufacturing facility that also processes known allergens such as soy, milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and wheat (gluten) ingredients. While the manufacturing procedures follows strict, required FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), which include immediate cleaning and breaking down of equipment after every production batch and proper air filtration systems as precautionary measures, the possibility of cross-contamination can never be 100% eliminated, therefore we are required by the FDA, to include a warning that addresses this.
     
    Let's talk price!!  I mean sure you can head into your local GNC and pick up some protein shakeology for half the price of shakeology here's the thing you can't feel like a million bucks eating from the dollar menu.  Food in fuel for out bodies putting garbage in will only leave you feeling like crap.  Yes shakeology is a daily investment in your health and up front it seems a bit pricy because your investing in 30 healthy meals with zero clean up, zero waste, zero counting calories or nutrition, the work is already done.  It's a true meal replacement with the proper balance of complex carbs and protein.  In the United States most of use are not protein deficient but lacking nutrition.  So looking at the price of shakeology a few things to keep is not comparing it to a protein shake, no soy, no artificial sweeteners, and artificial flavorings.  This video does a great job adding up all the ways we spend money but can be eliminate in a quest to live a healthier life. 
     
     
    Recipes
    Vegan Peanut Butter Cup
     2 teaspoons almond butter
     1/2 banana
     4 oz almond milk
     9 oz water and ice with the chocolate
    1 scoop of chocolate shakeology

    Insanity Max 30 Transformation

    Insanity Max 30 Transformation

    Where did the last 30 days go!! I can’t believe yesterday I started month two of Max 30.  This program is 60 days long and broke down into two months.  Let’s just say the last 30 days of life have been a whirl win I tend to live with blinders on and stay very focused on goals in life.  The last 30 days my focus has been on a push goal that Steve and I have had for a very long time.  With that being said in the last 30 days we hit Easter and yes I’m a health coach and yes I help others however the struggle is real do I eat the chocolate covered bunny or pass?  Well a few bunnies might of won.  In the last 30 days I was not only getting back in a routine but doing so as a mom of three with a nursing baby those 5:00am workouts where not easy.  You know when your losing weight and getting in shape there comes that point to press on or stop well I felt that moment last week as well I kind of felt like I needed to be seeing faster results what worked in the past might just not work this time.  This sense of doubt started to creep in…..I made a choice to stop that craziness right then and there.  I jumped on the computer and checked out my transformation from when I had Josie and looked at my progress 30 days in and in that moment decided to be in it for the long haul. 

     
    Insanity Max 30 Transformation


    There will be people that tell you there is a quicker way a way to lose weight and inches that doesn’t include exercising and eating healthy and I call crap.  Come on now folks if that was the case we wouldn’t be a country in need of better health. 

     

    Last week I even pulled the “I’m too busy” card to my husband!!  When I had Josie I wasn’t working outside of the home 4 days a week for our traditional business, two kids vs three, the list goes on.  Yet again I decided to not give up we are all given the same 24 hours in a day and it’s a choice every day on how we spend those minutes.  I decided to stop giving excuses and to push on I CAN find 30 minutes a day to prep healthy foods for the entire family I CAN workout and shut my brain off from the noise of life and FOCUS on working out for 30 minutes.  You see the shift in thinking?  I truly believe weight loss starts with the mind.  The mind is powerful and it’s either working for you or against you.  I choose today to say I CAN!!  And you CAN TOO!!
    So when I snapped my 30 day photos only seeing the scale go down a few lbs. I was so thankful for taking before pictures!!  The pictures tell the entire story it says JOB WELL DONE!!  Here is where I started  the mural of the story is throw the scale out the window take before pictures and measurements. 
    Insanity Max 30 Transformation
    So what now?  Well it's called a journey for a reason I keep going!!  Beyond what the pictures tell I've been sleeping better at night,  I have more energy, my skin looks great, green beans and almonds are my go to snack while being a busy mom.  I fuel up every morning with shakeology to keep my nutrition on point one meal a day I don't have to think about.  I feel soooo much stronger then I did on day one.  I want you to feel the same way, I'm not inviting you to a quick fix more then likely you have tried every gimmick on the market.  I'm just like you a mom that wants to look good and feel confident in my own skin.  Let's chat Insanity Max 30 might not be the right fit for you starting out I want to find a program your excited about starting, I want to get you started in your own routine,  cooking meals the entire family will eat and enjoy.  Let's make 2015 the year you invest in your health in a healthy way.  Apply to learn more.

    Reese Cup Shakeology

    Reese Cup Shakeology

    I get asked this all the time isn’t shakeology just a protein shake? No not at all most of us are not protein deficient however most are lacking nutrition I can eat healthy all day long and still not receive the nutrition needed. Its whole foods broke down and by that I mean YES you do pay for what you get You can hit up the local GNC for a “shake meal replacement” However always check out the ingredients Things to look for:

     What does shakeology taste like? Well since it is all natural and sweeten by a plant for most the first week it taste kind of different because our taste buds have been use to consuming something that has been altered in the flavoring department. Is shakeology really worth the 3 buck and some change I pay every day? Well it depends I personally like to be proactive vs reactive Yes at age 30 my health can kind of float by however just like anything it catches up We all invest money in different items every day in life For me I would rather hold off on buying a cup of coffee each day or that cute new toy for the kids that will be destroyed a few months from now. I never miss a day 2 years later most days it's my meal right after working out I look at drinking it everyday as my treat for sweating!! 

    Do I drink Reese Cup Cheesecake everyday like this recipe?  No however on a Sunday night when everyone else in the house is eating DQ I get a little crazy by adding a Reese Cup to my shakeology.

    Reese Cup Cheesecake
    1 tbsp. all natural peanut butter or almond butter

    1 scoop chocolate shakeology

    1/2 cup water

    1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)

    Ice  and blend for 45 to 50 seconds

    Next drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside rim of your glass, fill glass with blended shakeology, top with whip cream if you desire, and sprinkle one chopped up Reese cup on top.
