Vegan Vanilla Shakeology Cookie Dough

Everyday we have choices in the kitchen that can make or break the hard work and effort we put in with our workouts. Rather than putting in all the effort just to slide further away from your goal in the kitchen, change up some of your favorite sweets for healthier options!!

Who doesn't love and crave cookie dough when they see it? I made this recipe and had to control myself by finding numerous chores to stay away until they had chilled in the fridge for at least a hour....personally I think they are even better cold!!



Vegan Vanilla Shakeology Cookie Dough

(Makes 10 servings, 1 spoonful each)

Total Time: 15 min.
Prep Time: 15 min. 

½ cup all-natural almond butter
¼ cup raw honey
½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 scoop Vanilla Vegan Shakeology
2 Tbsp. mini semi-sweet (or dark chocolate) chocolate chips
Combine almond butter, honey, oats, Shakeology, and chocolate chips in a medium bowl; mix well.
Spoon 10 equal-sized dallops of dough onto plate (or into the mouths of you and your friends), about 1-inch in diameter each.
This is by no means a fat free recipe, but it's the healthy fats that your body needs.
Use caution and don't eat the whole bowl in one serving though....instead limit yourself to 1 or maybe 2 scoops/balls.

ENJOY!!! No regrets!!

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 he...

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 ...
