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!!

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. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness ...

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...
