Shakeology Sunday: Orange Dream

Ok I know what everyone is thinking...all I do is talk about Chocolate Shakeology!  Well I thought I would switch it up and offer a really tasty Vanilla Shakeology recipe this week.  It's one I love even more now that the weather is warming up and I'm looking for that extra boost of Vitamin C to start my day.

The key to this recipe is the fresh squeezed orange juice.  If available, buy it at your local grocery store.  If it isn't available, try your hand at juicing and only use store bought OJ as a last resort.  Make sure you check the label though!  Lots of store brands have hidden sugars and other additives to make them taste "better" and to allow for a longer shelf life.

Here is how to start your day with an Orange Dream:

4-8 oz. Water
4-8 oz. Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (our local grocery store does this on site)
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
add ice to taste if desired

Then shake in your favorite shaker cup or blend (especially if you add ice).

Enjoy this ray of sunshine to start your day off right!

Shakeology Sunday: Peanut Butter Cup (or Tagalong Cookie) Inspired

Peanut butter and chocolate are two of my favorite things on earth so it was important to me to try to fill that craving somehow.  Since I started drinking Shakeology, my cravings are down, I've seen better weightloss results, reduced my bloating, and seen higher quality/faster nail and hair growth.  I can't live without my morning shake!

This has been my "go to" recipe since I started drinking Shakeology about 8 months ago.  Here is my magic formula for a liquid peanut butter cup (or Tagalong cookie for your GS cookie addicts!)

Here is how it is done! 

Blend or shake up:
8-16 oz. cashew milk (or other dairy or nut milk)
2 tbsp. PB2 (or natural peanut butter)
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
ice to taste (optional)

Enjoy!

Shakeology Sunday: Thin Mint Inspired

I'm having one of "those" times of the month where I'm deeply craving sweets.  I can pass up a lot of things, but my vice in the realm of sweets is actually cookies.  I already know I can't live without my Shakeology so I thought I would combine the two!

While unlike most people I'm not a Thin Mint addict (more of a Tagalong person myself), I do enjoy them periodically so I thought I would experiment with a recipe that has gotten passed around quite a bit and make myself a "healthy" liquid Thin Mint!

Here is how it is done!

Blend or shake up:

8-16 oz. cashew milk (or other dairy or nut milk)

up to 1 tsp. Pure Mint Extract

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

ice to taste (optional)


It really does taste like a Thin Mint cookie!  This recipe will definitely stay in my rotation!  Stay tuned!  I'll share my "go to" recipe next week which is (surprise surprise) Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (yum my favorite!) or Tagalong inspired!

Enjoy!
