Shake it Up Day 1...Snickerdoodle

After posting several Shakeology recipes last night, I decided to shake it up before the online event actually starts to share my thoughts on the different recipes to help you decide which to try!!

Today I started with Snickerdoodle, but I made a few changes.  We are low on milk and I prefer to have water to save my "containers" for other food throughout the day on my meal plan.  So I used 12-14 oz of water instead of 10-12 oz of milk. For the peanut butter, I used PB2 which is a powder peanut butter. Also, I prefer 1/2 banana in all of my shakes, so I added that in as well.

The shake was good, but I wasn't sure how much peanut butter to use since it was powder and I think I used a little too much.  Sometimes it takes a few tries with these recipes to get your personal preference of flavor, but overall this recipe is a winner and I'll have it again!!

 Snickerdoodle (original recipe)
1 serving Vanilla Shakeology
10-12oz milk
2tsp cinnamon
1tsp natural peanut butter
1tsp honey

Snickerdoodle (Ashley's revisions)
1 serving Vanilla Shakeology
1/2 cup ice
12-14 oz water
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp PB2 peanut butter
1 tsp honey

Put all ingredients into a blender cup and blend for 30-45 seconds.

After you try this recipe, be sure to post your thoughts below or on my Facebook wall!!

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 he...

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.

3 Day Refresh Review...

I decided to take Beachbody's 3 Day Refresh with a goal to lose a few more pounds, eliminate diet soda, and learn about the program, so I couldshare with others. For over a year, I considered the 3 DayRefresh and feared that I couldn't follow the meal plan because it doesn't have meat and limited liquid choices. No caffeine didn't worry me since I went over 1 1/2 years without caffeine...twice (when I was pregnant & nursing my girls)!! However, giving up all diet soda and meat is something VERY difficult for me.  I have been following the 21 Day Fix meal plan for the past year and love it because it allows me to eat 5-6 times a day with very few limitations.  However, I decided it was time for me to take the challenge and grow with the 3 Day Refresh.   Here is a little info and intro to the 3 Day Refresh... This is an overview of the meal plan for the 3 Day Refresh.... Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh:  Prior to beginni...
