Why I drink Shakeology
A year and 3 months later, I still have a shake a day.
What is Shakeology?
What is Shakeology?
Shakeology. The Healthiest Meal of the Day.
Why you need Shakeology now*
Shakeology can help you:*
- Lose weight
- Reduce cravings
- Increase energy and stamina
- Promote healthy digestion and regularity
- Tastes delicious, too.
How Shakeology works*
- Ingredients derived from whole-food sources deliver the daily vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body needs to curb cravings, allowing it to shed stored fat.
- More than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.
- Fiber, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes help your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently and promote better absorption of nutrients.*
What's in Shakeology*
- Protein and essential amino acids help build muscles and reduce food cravings.
- Prebiotics and digestive enzymes aid in improving digestion, regularity, and nutrient absorption.
- Antioxidants and phytonutrients help counteract free radical damage that can lead to degenerative diseases.
- A daily dose of vitamins and minerals provides your body what it needs to function for optimal health.
I originally started drinking Shakeology to lose weight so I used it to replace one meal a day. I liked to vary the meal as opposed to always replacing the same meal each day and I successfully lost that 10-15 extra pounds I had to lose!! I now usually use Shakeology as a healthy supplement or snack, sometimes using it as a meal on the run. I know that my body deserves the optimal ingredients that Shakeology provides, I know it is proven to help lose weight, increases energy, and I personally love the taste. I also use it to make desserts, snacks, pancakes, all sorts of things!
I'm personally thankful that I was introduced to Shakeology! I still drink it daily :)

Healthy Dessert
Fall is upon us, and who doesn't love a warm Apple Crumble??
Set it and forget it. YUM
Slow
Cooker Apple Granola Crumble
Ingredients
·
2 Granny Smith
apples
·
1 cup of your
favorite granola cereal (I mixed 1/2 cup granola and 1/2 cup bran flakes)
·
1/4 cup apple juice
·
2 Tablespoon
vegan butter
·
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
·
1/2 teaspoon
nutmeg
Directions
Peel, core and cut the apples into thick slices and then chunks.
This is what I did. Cut the apple in half - then half again and then those
halves in half. This gives you 8 thick slices. Cut those thick slices in chunks
- like about 3 per slice.
Add everything to the crockpot and stir well.
Cover and cook on low 4 hours.
That is it!
Ready to enjoy and it will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Beachbody Coach - What coaching has done for me
I'm not sure how many people actually get to do what they love, but I do. I'm not sure if you had asked me 5 years ago, or even a year ago if I really thought I could do that, if I would have said yes. Did I think I had the ability to do something I love, sure. Did I think I would really be able to do that and so much more? I'm not sure..but I knew if I never tried, the answer would always be no. I thought not having a college degree would limit me or hold me back in life. I didn't know if following a dream or being happy in what I was doing would bring me financial freedom. I looked around at other people and thought they are lucky, or they have this, or they have that going for them. I was selling myself short. Those people weren't lucky, those people were driven. They didn't have anything that I didn't have, they had just been doing things longer. They had let go of 'self doubt' and that was exactly what I needed to do. I was ME, and no one could be better at me than ME! So when Mike said 'do what makes you happy', I did just that! I'll admit, I started with baby steps not completely trusting the process...but it wasn't until I learned to just be ME, to accept the up and downs as a part of the process, to just keep doing what I was doing and all of the work would pay off. When the focus is right, magic starts to happen. It's as simple as just trying to help people. I left my full time job last August, and took a part time job to allow more time to focus on my 'dream job', being a full time Beachbody coach, where helping others achieve goals was the most important thing...where I am able to focus on health and fitness and things that truly matter to me, things I like, things that make me happy.
I'm a so excited to announce that in just over a year, I am a success business owner. I have more than replaced my salary at my 'full time' job where I had over 17 years of experience working 9-5, 40hrs. or more a week. I no longer have to be part of the rat race. I have the freedom and flexibility to work from home, make my own schedule, be my own boss, help others, all while having the financial freedom to so. That's right, I did it, and so can you. Who's next?

Strawberry Oat Bars
Ingredients:
Filling
2 Tablespoons cornstarch...
2 Tablespoons warm water
2 cups finely diced strawberries
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 Tablespoon granulated organic sugar cane or substitute a sweetener of your choice
Oatmeal Base + Topping
2 and 1/4 cup quick oats (not whole rolled oats)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted almond butter (or peanut butter or sunflower seed butter)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup apple butter*
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
1.Make the strawberry filling first by mixing the cornstarch with the warm water until it all of the cornstarch has dissolved and there are no more clumps. It should resemble milk. Set aside. Combine the strawberries, maple syrup, and sugar together in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir well. Remove from heat and stir in the pre-mixed cornstarch. Whisk until all clumps are gone and set aside to thicken and cool.
2.Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Line an 8x8 baking pan with aluminum foil with enough overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
3.Make the oat crust/topping: In a large bowl, combine the quick oats, cinnamon, almond butter, maple syrup, apple butter, and beaten egg. Mix until all of the oats are moistened and the mixture is thoroughly combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the oat mixture. Press the remaining oat mixture into prepared baking pan. Make sure it is firmly pressed down and even. Spread the strawberry filling on top. To the reserved 1/2 cup oat mixture, add the sliced almonds. Crumble this over the strawberry filling and, using the back of a spatula, press the topping down firmly into the strawberry filling. You want to make sure it sticks well.
4.Bake for 25-30 minutes. The topping will be lightly browned. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
5.Makes 9-12 squares, depending how large you cut them. Squares stay fresh covered tightly at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bars freeze well, up to 2 months.
*You may use pumpkin butter, mango butter, or any other fruit butter to replace the apple butter. The bars won't be as moist if using applesauce instead of apple butter.
ENJOY!!
