Cure your Chocolate Cravings

While I can go several days without chocolate, there are other days I could eat an entire candy bar! But I am trying to cut out sugar because it is so addictive and the more I eat the more I crave it!

Plus, I am following the 21 Day Fix meal plan with limited cheats and treats. The cool thing is I have found healthy foods I can make feel like a treat and this is one of them!

Shakeology chocolate!

I will be honest, you can add this to the list of the things I was skeptical of! As I was mixing it in the kitchen both my husband was rolling his eyes at me.

The recipe is simple 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology and 1 spoon of coconut oil melted. Stir it together. Then I put it in cookie molds and put into the freezer until it was solid.

I cut into chunks and literally enjoyed a chocolate bar with zero guilt.

1 spoon of coconut oil is a good fat and 1 shakeology serving is 1 red.
So I counted it as a red and as a spoon. If you want to double or triple feel free!

It's also great with some peanut butter, PB2 or other nuts to give it some variety!

You can stay on track and still have chocolate!

YOU MUST TRY!!! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

If you want to try it and don't have shakeology hit me up for the details on how to score you own!!!!

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies. I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good. Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in. My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option! The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients: 1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make: Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold.

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule. The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls. By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom. Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago. Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week. My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked her a few questions th

Almond Joy candy vs. wonder whip

As Halloween approaches, candy options are more and more tempting. Ok, maybe candy is tempting all year around!! You want to think those little pieces of chocolate won't affect your weight goals, but they can. Especially when it's hard to just eat one or two. Personally, I would much rather have several bites of dessert than just one, so these wonder whip solutions are an amazing alternative to a few pieces of candy!! They are much more filling and satisfying!! Whip up a bowl today and give your sweet tooth what it wants!! Thanks to Ilana Muhlstein for sharing this recipe and her registered dietitian knowledge through the 2B Mindset Nutrition program and certified mentorship training! B oth the Almond Joy candy and wonder whip have 235 calories, but you get a WHOLE cup with the whip rather than just two bites!! Ingredients: 1 Cup 0-2% Plain Greek Yogurt 1 TBSP unsweetened Shredded Coconut 1 TBSP Cocoa Nibs 2 tsp. cocoa powder
