Shakeology: Make it right.

shakeology recipe, cravings, candy

When I got my first shipment of Shakeology delivered I couldn't wait to go try it out. I put some water in the blender with a couple ice cubes and the shake powder. For someone who hadn't been eating healthy, I was not impressed. It wasn't because it tasted bad, it was just nothing to write home about. It took me a little, but after a few tries I perfected it. Now I am going on two years of drinking it, and very rarely miss a day. Had I based my opinion of Shakeology on my first attempt at making it, I most likely would not still be drinking it. That is why I am writing this post with you all in case you need a little guidance making your first shake. Now I am basically addicted and pretty much freak out if I run out of Shakeology before my shipment comes in.

 There are lots of good recipes to go by when making your shakes, but I will share with you my favorite. I make my shake in the morning because I am NOT a morning person and will choose sleep over breakfast always. Making a shake takes me 2 minutes max, so it is easier than cooking breakfast. I also LOVE frozen coffee drinks. Back in the day I would kill at least one frappuccino a day until I found out the calorie count...yikes. Luckily I found a solution for my frozen coffee drink craving and made myself a little shakeology coffee coolata type deal.


The good thing about shakeology is that whatever you are craving there is either a recipe already out there that satisfies that, or you can make one up yourself. I know I for one LOVE me some Reeses peanut butter cups!

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

Anthony Kiedis: Over 50 and Red Hot

Image
When Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers came on stage Sunday night the first thing that came to my mind was, "damn, he looks good". The second thing was, "I wonder how old he is". So obviously I went right to google and did some research. The information I found went above and beyond what I was expecting to learn. Anthony is 51 years old. He is a dad of a 5 year old boy who is named after his favorite band, his godfather was Sonny Bono, and he was voted sexiest male vegan by PETA. Because he seems so fit and healthy, it surprised me to learn that Anthony had actually been an avid drug user and heroin addict in the past. He even contracted the hepatitis C virus from his experimentation. He was addicted to some bad things, that were draining his life. These days instead of shooting heroin, Kiedis is addicted to things that are actually good for him. He focuses on his health, fitness, and family. Although I wasn't in as deep as Anthony, I
