Chocolate!

Had one last night, after being out for a little bit. And yay for my chocolate breakfast today 🙌🏼 Already feel 💯 times better and seeing improvement in my overall health. I also "just said no" to the chocolate ice cream that I all but forced my husband to buy for me over the weekend lest I murder someone 😂 and Bella's candy stash is safe 👌🏼 

This shake pretty much slaps that candy outta my hand. But tastes like dessert in itself. What's your superpower?

Shakeology while pregnant or nursing

Welcome expecting mommies! And congratulations on the new birth of your baby nursing mommies! You're here because you want to do the best for your baby, but you also want to continue to feel the way Shakeology makes you feel! Not sure you want to give it up, correct?! I've been there. So your question is, Can I drink Shakeology if I’m pregnant or nursing?


As with everything these days, opinions differ, and you should always check with your OB doctor for any supplements, nutrition changes, diet changes, etc. For your convenience, I have a letter HERE for you to print out and show your doctor. It includes the ingredients in Shakeology! When you look at the Shakeology container, you will notice their disclaimer: “Consult with a healthcare professional if pregnant, breast feeding, or if you have any other unique or special needs.”
Please remember to tell your doctor that you are not drinking Shakeology to lose weight (the cover letter suggests that). Just let your doctor know that you love the nutrition and the way you feel, and you would like to continue to received this superfood nutrition while pregnant/nursing.

Mommies, You've probably heard a bunch of opinions from other moms...

Some say that they’ve drank Shakeology all the way through pregnancy. Loved it!
Some are drinking it instead of taking their prenatal vitamins.
Some drink it along with folic acid supplements.
Some drink the vegan Shakeology.
Some drink it on the recommendation of their doctor.


There are many different health and wellness experts.

A friend’s doctor said that every pregnant and nursing woman should drink Shakeology because of the dense nutrition it contains. Another friend's doctor told her to drink the Vegan formula because it is not fortified with vitamins. Some ask that mommies drink it, but not along with prenatal vitamins as the Vitamin A content in both supplements is too high. Some doctors don't recommend it because they do not know enough about it. Some doctors say that you should be able to take it, provided that you get sufficient calories every day. They don't want you dieting while pregnant, after all!

Why the Differing Opinions?

Meal replacement shakes are generally not advised for nursing or pregnant women, for the reason of NO DIETING while pregnant or nursing, you need those extra calories! Also, meal replacement shakes usually contain harmful fillers and artificial ingredients. However, Shakeology is a different kind of meal replacement shake. There is nothing harmful or artificial in Shakeology, and it is more of a nutrition supplement shake versus a weight loss shake. We want to have the best nutrition while pregnant, and Shakeology will supply that! But you need to get your calories in as expected.

Pregnant and breastfeeding mommies should consume an additional 500 calories every day, and that’s where Shakeology comes in handy. In addition to your healthy balanced meals, also take Shakeology for the dense nutrition it provides.

By eating enough of the right foods and then supplementing your nutrition with Shakeology, you may just get the healthiest pregnancy you've had yet! And the nutrition in Shakeology makes for some fortified super milk breast milk!

Shakeology During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Concerns

Some doctors don’t want patients to take Shakeology during pregnancy and nursing due to the following concerns:

1. Shakeology is Not Approved by the FDA

Some doctors will only approve supplements that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration. However, the FDA does not approve any dietary supplements. Which is why YOU need to be diligent to look into the ingredients in ANY dietary supplements and shakes.

2. Vitamin A

Too much Vitamin A (in retinol form, from animal sources) has been linked to birth defects. However, the Vitamin A in Shakeology is beta-carotene, with which there are no correlating issues of any kind. In my pregnancy, I would alternate days, Shakeology one day, prenatal vitamin the next, just to eliminate any concern whatsoever about the Vitamin A.

3. Herbs

Shakeology contains small doses of certain herbs, which taken in large doses can induce labor. However, your doctor should be able to note the dosage, which would not have an effect in your pregnancy.

Shakeology’s Official Answer: Can I take Shakeology when I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

“Shakeology should only be taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers under the direction of their physicians. As with all of our supplements; we recommend that you consult with a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, breast feeding, or if you have any medical conditions. SPECIAL NOTE FOR VEGAN FORMULATIONS: Shakeology is dietary supplement in a food form, and since our vegan formulas are not fortified, the levels of any one nutrient should not be an issue for anyone or for a pregnant woman. Pregnant women need to careful about levels of Vitamin A (10,000 IU is the upper limit), but the amounts we have at unfortified levels are similar to those found in unfortified foods and in fruits and vegetables. Accordingly, pregnant women should consider their intake of vegan Shakeology as part of their normal diet, but should not rely solely on Shakeology to meet the needs of pregnancy for nutrients like, iron, folate, Vitamin A, or calcium.”

Nursing moms, I would absolutely introduce Shakeology slowly to your new bundle of joy. Start with 1/4 scoop and work your way to a full scoop over a month of time. Shakeology has many ingredients, some may bother your baby's tummy. For example, green leafy veggies can give your baby gas, and every baby is different. If you find that your baby cannot tolerate it, just wait until baby is 4 months old and then try again. The digestive system matures around 4 months and you may find that while it didn't work for your baby at one month, it might at 4!

I know if I would have had to completely stop with Shakeology while pregnant, and for the next year plus that I'm nursing, I would be extremely sad! Shakeology does so much for me besides the nutrition, it curbs junky cravings, improves my hair, skin, and nails, gives me energy that is caffeine free, and makes my digestive system function at it's best. But don’t just take it from me! Check out some actual real-life testimonials!

“I have been drinking shakeology for 15 months and nursing my daughter the entire time! In the beginning, I was worried about my milk supply with a complete diet change and adding this in but I actually noticed an increase since I was fueling my body with proper nutrition and vitamins! I drank original chocolate for a year and just switched to vegan because I’m trying to cut dairy.” Keleigh Gates

“When I had my youngest son I dried up at 6 months. I have been drinking shakeo with my daughter since she was 4 months old and I am still going. She is almost 8 months now. I have PCOS and shakeo has helped me to keep my supply when it would have otherwise been gone.” Alex Stuck

“I started drinking it while breastfeeding my son and noticed an increase in supply. I am now currently drinking it while pregnant and love it. I can let you know how amazing she turns out in a couple of weeks.” Katie Dyer

“The first 2 months of breastfeeding I started to actually have supply problems… I ordered my first bag of Shakeology around 6 weeks after my little was born, and once I started drinking I had no issues. We did find out he was lactose intolerant, so I switch to vegan. And no issues and for a while {when I actually did pump} I have a nice stock in the freezer, its been used up now, but we are 1 year strong {almost 2 weeks short}.” Sarah Sullivan

“I’m 29 weeks pregnant and have been drinking it every day for the past month and a half and I am sooooo much more energized than I was before I started drinking it! I also have been able to maintain/slow down my weight gain because it really curbs my cravings for junk!” Lola Yossi Azari

“I started drinking shakeology while nursing my 15 month old, no issues for her, as for me more energy and increased supply. I breast fed till she turned 2, and drank Shakeology daily.” Ana Jacome

“I’m breastfeeding AND pregnant and it’s made a total difference in my milk supply and energy. My supply was dropping with pregnancy hormones (which wasn’t an issue since Lucas is almost two), but since drinking it regularly, my supply has definitely increased. Breastfeeding while pregnant definitely drained my energy too, and that’s increased as well. My midwife and lactation consultant were both totally cool with me drinking it.” Candace Musselwhite

“I’ve been drinking shakeo for over a year now. I drank it off and on throughout my pregnancy without any issues. And I recently started drinking it again consistently for 3 months while nursing and I have had no negative results. In fact, I have only seen an increase in my milk supply. With my other 2 children I had always had a hard time producing enough milk and would have to supplement with formula. It’s such a relief not having to worry about that now!” Katie Raymond

“I have been drinking Shakeology for a month and a half and I am EBF my LO. I have noticed no change in my milk supply…. Still pumping volume on top of breastfeeding throughout the day. My LO had no adverse side effects from me drinking it. She is thriving and a happy 3 month old! I also got the green light from my Cleveland clinic pediatrician before I ordered the shakes.” Nathan-Justine Hitchcock

“I had my wisdom tooth pulled and was drinking 2 shakes a day and Greek yogurt for over a week. I was super nervous about my milk supply getting low because I wasn’t having solid food but my supply actually INCREASED from having 2 Shakeology smoothies a day.” Rachelle Lynn

“I started drinking it when I was 5 months pp. It increased my supply and restored my energy that I had lost. I used to feel so drained from breastfeeding, I rarely ever even had the energy to get off the couch. Now I’m almost 11 months pp and I’m able to keep up with my daughter, do intensive cardio exercises and still not feel drained. I can’t go a day without drinking it or I majorly feel the difference. Oh and tmi but it also helped me become regular which was also such a lifesaver because I had horrible constipation from giving birth up until I started drinking it regularly.” Bryanna Noelle Newell

“I started drinking Shakeology while breastfeeding my (then) 6 month old son. My milk supply was great and I felt amazing vs being exhausted most of the time prior to starting it. It also helped with the constant hunger which was especially great in the mornings as I’ve never been a breakfast person. My son was healthy and continued to grow like a weed. It was nice knowing that I was putting something in my body that wasn’t laden with chemicals and sugar and I knew those nutrients I was benefiting from were also going to my son.” Elizabeth Smith

Back to Fit School

Did the summer have you eating more and exercising less? Definitely true for me! These kids need to be constantly entertained, AmIRight?!



Even grown-ups need tips and tricks for a healthy back to school transition. Getting back in the swing of things can be very hard, you may feel totally unmotivated! In my upcoming challenge, we will focus on the 3 basics, P.E., Lunch, and Recess, otherwise known as exercise, nutrition, and FUN! Cause you've already passed all your academics! This group will be one semester (4 weeks) of the craziest, most fun SCHOOL you've ever had!

You'll need a few School Supplies-- A workout program, a customize-able meal plan, and a nutrition supplement. I'll supply the virtual classroom to keep you motivated and engaged throughout your semester of fun!

Fit School Details- Semester one begins August 31, and a second class on September 7th.

Workout Program: Semester One of Fit School will be using CIZE. Shaun T (creator of Insanity and T25) calls this program the "End of Exercise" and I agree. But I also call it the "End of Excuses." I mean, it's 30-40 minutes of a seriously good time. I was never a "clubbin" type of girl, but I can see how hours can be spent dancing the night away and having the best time ever. And Shaun T puts that into a workout program! The program is hip hop based, and choreographed to popular music. Each move is broken down nicely so that you can learn the moves, have a good time, laugh at yourself a little (or a lot), and sweat and burn calories at the same time! This is finally a CARDIO that I can get on board with!

Nutrition: The EAT UP nutrition plan shows you how to create a balanced meal plan and how to incorporate foods you love. This is not a fad diet, and it's not a restrictive or boring diet. It's not a diet at all!

Nutrition Supplement: Delicious Milk Shake for Breakfast?!? Every kid's dream! Replace one meal a day with Shakeology and you'll be well on your way to lose weight, get fit, fuel workouts, and add much needed nutrition to your regular diet.

How does a regular person like you get a discount on Shakeology?

If you’re looking for how to “buy Shakeology cheap” then there’s a very good chance that you have heard all about it and want to know how to get the best possible deal. If you haven't had a chance to look into Shakeology, here ya go! Follow this link and then come back!

People ask me all the time how they can buy Shakeology at a great price and save the most money. There are several ways to save money on Shakeology, but to save the MOST money, you'll want to get yourself a coach membership! Don't hang up yet! Read on, it's not AT ALL what you think. I promise!

When I first started drinking Shakeology, I really needed to make it the most cost effective for me and my family. We had one income, 3 kids, and a SoCal mortgage! Not a good combo. But I really felt like I needed something like Shakeology. I had ZERO energy, zero focus, I needed to fuel my workouts and overall I had heard SO MANY amazing things about Shakeology, I was just curious. So when I heard that I could try it at a discount, I nearly JUMPED at the chance. So I joined as a coach.

Now, my story may not be yours. When I got my little discount, I started sharing all about my new found secret weapon and the workouts I was doing, I started helping people to change their life like I had. I couldn't help myself! I'm a natural HELPER, it's in my bones. You do NOT have to do this! You can totally be a closet Shakeology drinker!

If you want a shakeology discount, the VERY SAME DISCOUNT that I get as a coach, you can join in as a coach and get my price! Think of it like a membership, because you DO NOT have to coach. You do not have to do anything but sit back and enjoy that discount on your fancy chocolate shake. I have a ton of “coaches” on my team that are simply Shakeology fans and want to take advantage of the 25% discount.

For me this was no brainer, I am super frugal, very thrifty with money. If I can craft it myself, I will. I'm that Pinterest junkie. So if I can get a discount without doing a thing, yes, sign me up. I joined as a coach and got a discount on Shakeology.

So how do you get the discount and how much is it?

The discount for coaches is 25% off any Beachbody product, Shakeology, workouts, vitamins, supplements, workout gear, shaker cups, etc. The membership commitment is $15.95 monthly, starting your second month (there are no fees for active duty military or their spouse). You save about $32 a month, so your net savings after paying your membership fee is about $16... $16 off your shakeology every single month! You're drinking it anyways, GET THE DISCOUNT! That's ALMOST $200 A YEAR in savings, just for doing nothing!

How do you become a coach?
You can signup for FREE with the purchase of a challenge pack (shakeology plus a workout of your choice at a discounted price). If you've ever bought a challenge pack in the past, sign up and then you can request to have the sign up cost refunded. Or you can pay the $39.95 sign up fee, that's a one time fee, it's not annual or anything, just one time.


GET YOUR ACCOUNT HERE AND START SAVING!

CLICK HERE and follow the quick and easy steps! Be sure to message me when you do!
Im so EXCITED to help you find your soulmate shakeology recipe! And share mine with you!

Is coaching for you?

I had always dreamt that as a mother, I would be able to be just like my own, at home and raising my kids. My daughter came before I was ready! Surprise mommy, I’m here! When I was pregnant, I knew my stay at home mom dream probably wouldn’t happen. My husband and I live in Southern California. Everything you’ve heard about SoCal is true, it ROCKS, but it’s EXPENSIVE! A one income family is hard to come by. But, one glance at that beautiful face on the day of her birth and I knew it, I would never leave her to go to some job. My job was staring me back in the face. But how I Earth was I to do this stay at home mom thing and pay some bills? You know, cause we needed a roof over our heads! Minor detail.

I always had a passion for helping people. My degree is in Child Development and Psychology. I wanted to help people, period. I tried a few things to make this goal of being a stay at home mom happen for myself. Each was special in their own right, but when it came down to it, it wasn’t enough and I wasn’t fulfilled either, I wasn’t helping anyone, and that is my passion. I was depressed. And overweight. Enter my friend and coach! She showed me 21 Day Fix. I had a vacation coming up, I tried it. Which was so unlike me. But I took a chance! It changed my fitness and my world! I became a coach and didn’t even expect what happened next! I LOVE coaching. I LOVE myself as a coach. Seriously, this career will change your life in more ways than one. You are not only helping others with their health, which is probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever been privileged to do, but you are focusing on yourself, your own health, your own personal development.

Now, I've been able to remain at home with my daughter, and I have a career that is rewarding, and I get to help my husband with bills to-boot. All while getting to be a MOM first, and helping others along the way. Do you ever feel like you were made for so much more? To inspire and serve others? Maybe to serve your children by having the blessing to be home with them?!

If you:
•Want to live a healthy lifestyle, get fit and in shape, eat better!
•Love helping and encouraging others
•Want to live life by your design and NOT in a corporate grind or under someone's terms only to be building their dream and not your own

then coaching could be just the thing for you. And you can potentially join for free to try it out and see how you like it! My Sizzling Summer Wellness Group starts June 21 and it's for you.

You do not have to be a fitness professional, or look like a fitness model! You DO need to have a heart for helping others and a desire to live a healthy and happy life!

Introducing! GIRL BOSS ACADEMY!

When I finally took charge of my health, changes began to happen from the inside out. I felt better in my mind, body and spirit. It really is quite amazing and I would love to share that with other women who desperately need it like I did.


In my Girl Boss Academy, I will show you how to take charge of your life, your health, your spirit, and your financial situation. In 10 weeks, we focus on making your life glorious.

Next Girl Boss Academy start date is June 21, the first day of SUMMER, and concludes August 31.


Life transformations start on the inside and work their way out! Forget about your weight, your muscle, you financial situation, forget about your skinny jeans, your muffin top, and the bills that are stacking up. All of that will work itself out and happen naturally when you take care of yourself. When you start loving YOU and working on your belief in yourself and taking charge of your life.
Next accountability group focuses on your mind, body and spirit!

In my next private Facebook group, we’ll work on making you the best you possible. We will focus on a Summer-long game filled with wellness activities and making you a GIRL BOSS.

I will show you how to:
Take charge of your life
Become a #girlboss in your life
Gain confidence
Believe in YOU
Give of yourself to help others

There will be points for achieving BALANCE in your life with such activities like:
Personal Development (books, passages, poems, podcasts)
Eating well
Exercise
Fun activities such as date night, gardening, playing with your kids (if you have some), family fun day, unplugging!
Giving back (random act of kindness, volunteer work)
And more!

There's a prize for the GIRL BOSS with the most points!

We get one life to live, why not make it SPECTACULAR?



This is a private group for women in my coaching community. To be in this group, you must enroll as a member of my team and replace one meal a day with Shakeology for your own health and wellness. After the group has concluded, you can continue to get your discount on health and wellness tools or you can coach to make a career, the choice is completely yours! By joining my group, you get to work on your mind, your body, and your spirit. We'll start each day with Shakeology, for superfood nutrition, and we'll work on all the rest, including teaching you how to become a wellness coach to help others if you should choose that path for your life! Helping others really is the bread and butter of being a coach and of transforming YOUR life. No part of coaching is about "sales," there is no quota to meet. You just need to make it your mission to help others, sound cool? I will show you how to change your financial situation through coaching as well. If your bills are stacking up like mine were, you'll love this opportunity.

For more details and the requirements of the group, please fill out this application and submit it to me before June 20th.

5 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 tsp peanut butter
Dash of sea salt 

Grease your mug of choice with coconut oil. You can use the spray or just melt some inside the mug and tilt it so that it reaches all sides. Any mug will do! 

In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients- Shakeology, baking powder, cocoa powder and sea salt. Mix well. Side note: Make sure your cocoa powder is unsweetened and pure cocoa. Stay away from the word "Dutch." 

Add egg white, syrup and almond milk. Stir until smooth. 

Add half of the batter to the greased mug. Then, drop 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in center of batter. Add remaining batter to the mug, on top of the PB. 

Microwave times may vary depending on the power of your machine. Start with 1 minute, 30 seconds. You can add time in 10-second intervals until your cake is the consistency you like it. I do one minute 40 seconds in my microwave. 

You can eat it from the mug or flip it over to remove it. Drizzle with warmed peanut butter and add any fruit or unsweetened coconut shreds.

Keep away from children. They will eat it all and leave you none! 

21 day fix: 
1 red, 3 tsp. Or just count it as a yellow treat swap. 

*Heating Shakeology does reduce some of the nutritional value. But on its worst day, a Shakeology cake is better than a sugar filled cake. And it tastes better too!

10 SuperFoods You Should Be Eating



You've heard the term SuperFood over and over, but what the heck is that? A superfood turns you into superwoman. Okay, not really, but pretty close. A superfood is a nutrient dense food, a food that has benefits that go far beyond the normal foods in your diet. These foods are powerhouse foods, they pack a punch of vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants, and can even prolong life, reduce the risk of disease and have properties that can be cancer-preventing!

Here's 10 superfoods that should be in your diet! In no specific order...

1. Avocados- Do not avoid avocados because of the fat! Fat is a necessary piece of your nutrition. Avocados increase HDL (that's the good cholesterol) and decrease triglycerides. Avocados are actually considered a large berry, hence the seed! This fruit is high in Vitamin K, B6 and C and has more potassium than a banana! The glutathione content has been researched to prevent certain types of oral and prostate cancer. They've also been found to stabilize blood sugar and help keep you full longer, which results in excellent effects for weight loss! The folate in avocados even supports brain and nervous system growth in unborn babies. It has high levels of lutein, usually found in green leafy vegetables, which is a powerful cartenoid (antioxidant) to protect eyesight. An added benefit, avocados have thick skin! Which causes them to be low in pesticides even if not organic. Yay! You can add 1/4- 1/2 of an avocado to your daily diet inside your smoothie, on top of a salad, or in a Mexican dish, you can even use it anywhere you would normally use mayo! How's that for versatility? Try it in my Avocado Hummus, it's like a piece of heaven in a dish!


2. Chia Seeds- Often called Nature's Most Perfect Natural Food. In Ancient Mayan language, "chia" means "strength." It is said that the Mayans and Aztecs regarded this superfood higher than gold. It was used by warriors. I am a warrior, are you? The protein and fiber in Chia Seeds makes them great for endurance, they are often called the "runner's seed." Okay, you may not be an ancient warrior, but you do want to stay satisfied longer and sustain your body and muscles, yes? Add Chia Seeds to your diet. I cannot say enough good things about them! Chia seeds can act as a detox to remove junk from your body, they have 3 times the antioxidants of blueberries, they are high in omegas 3 and 6, they have more iron than spinach and they are pesticide- free! And truly, I could go on forever, ADD THEM to your diet. You can make a pudding out of them, sprinkle on your salad or in yogurt, add to your smoothie, and so much more. I add them in my Double Chocolate, Double Protein Oats, here.

3. Berries- Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, acai, and goji berries. Berries are high in phytochemicals, which protect your cells from damage, antioxidants, and vitamins. They've been shown to reduce inflammation and manage arthritis, increase mental stability, relieve stress, improve your hair, skin, and nails. And they are high in fiber and folate!


4. Kale- Kale is King of Green Leafy Veggies. It is super high in vitamins A (from its beta-carotene), K, and C - over 100% of the RDA of these vitamins can be found in just one cup of kale. It is low in calories, and so nutrient dense. It is extremely high in antioxidants as well. And kale can help lower cholesterol and ward off heart disease. Researchers are currently studying its effects to protect against cancer, and the results are impressive. One easy way to get your kale is to add it to your smoothie! You can also mix some in your salad or make some kale chips, which are quite delicious! Here's my recipe.

5. Black Beans- Black beans are kinda magical. No, you can't grow a beanstalk up to the clouds, but you can get a great blend of protein and fiber from a small amount of black beans. They are helpful to our digestive system, lowering the risk for colon cancer. Black beans are high in phytonutrients, which may surprise you since they are usually found in veggies, not so much in legumes. The phytonutrients in black beans include a powerful blend of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. The protein-fiber blend is not only great for your digestive track, but also for regulating blood sugar. The soluble fiber in black beans has been linked to cardiovascular health. I like black beans because they are so versatile and easy to use. Grab a can of (no-salt added) black beans and use them by themselves or in your favorite food dishes. I sprinkle some on my Clean Eating Nachos!


6. Coconut Oil- Coconut oil is a Medium Chain Fatty Acid. I know, I just lost you. In short, the body does not have to break down the fats before absorbing the health benefits of this oil. Coconut oil is metabolized differently than other fats. Coconut oil has been linked to weight loss! Imagine that, your cooking oil can help with your weight management. In fact, you can even just take a teaspoon a day like medicine! The lauric acid in coconut oil protects against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It does more than kill bacteria, it also kills hunger. This is again because of the way this medium chain triglyceride is metabolized. It keeps you satisfied longer and increases energy expenditure, i.e. helps you to burn calories. And guess which fat it burns best? Abdominal fat! YESSSS! Coconut oil also possesses the same health benefits as other super foods, it's high in vitamins and nutrients, reduces risk of cancer, boosts brain function, protects hair, skin, nails, and regulates cholesterol. When purchasing coconut oil, get UNREFINED!

7. Oats- A great source of soluble fiber, which we learned from black beans lowers the risk of heart disease. The FDA also recommends oats to lower cholesterol and LDLs. Oats are low in calories, but high in protein and fiber. They are sort of a "super grain." Oats are rich in magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, thiamine, and pantothenic acid and they even have phytonutrients. Steel cut oats are the highest in health benefits and easy to use, but rolled oats are also great for cooking and using in desserts! And oats are so inexpensive and readily available, add both types to your pantry!

8. Broccoli- Definitely super! Broccoli is one of the most nutritional vegetables. It has more Vitamin C than an orange and as much calcium as a glass of milk. Broccoli is also a great source of fiber, magnesium, folic acid, and vitamin A (from its beta- carotene). And you guessed it, it's a cancer preventing! It has a high content of sulforaphane, which boosts the body's protective enzymes and detoxes cancer causing chemicals. Broccoli is so inexpensive, you can really afford to add it anywhere in your diet!


9. Plain Greek Yogurt- Yogurt often doesn't make the " Best Superfoods" lists. I put it on mine because it is versatile, easy to find, and inexpensive. Plain Greek Yogurt has little to no fat, no sugar, and has the "good" bacteria that your body may need. Yogurt is rich in calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. Greek yogurt also contains probiotic cultures and twice the amount of protein as regular yogurts, plus, it's low in lactose. Plain Greek yogurt is beneficial to the digestive track, lowers blood pressure, and is heart healthy. The pro-biotics also boost your immune system! I use Plain Greek Yogurt daily. It can be used anywhere you would normally use mayo and can masquerade as sour cream. Yes, it's tart, so when eating it plain you may feel like you're eating sour cream. Sweeten your yogurt with 1 tsp of raw honey or cinnamon, each hosts their own health benefits. You can also add fresh fruits, pure vanilla extra, or nut butters to your yogurt.

10. Cocoa Powder (did I just make your day?)- This one is a bonus! No, you don't need cocoa/cacao every day, but hey, it's a fun addition to a diet rich in superfoods. Cacao powder contains flavonoids, which lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and heart. The powder tastes like chocolate, and has a fraction of the calories, almost zero fat, and when you add in those flavenoids/antioxidants, it's guilt-free! So if you've got a sweet tooth, opt for cocoa/cacao powder! Read the label before buying and be sure that your cocoa powder isn't processed. Processed cocoa powder is stripped of its antioxidants. Stay away from terms like "Dutch" or "alkalized." And make sure it's not sweetened!

I've chosen these 10 because they are all foods that you can EASILY find in your local store! Yes, I totally think you should be eating flax, spirulina, camu-camu, acerola cherries, maitake mushrooms, maca root, wheat grass, etc! But if you don't have Shakeology in your cabinet with it's 70 Superfoods in one bag, these superfoods will be difficult to find, if not impossible. When is the last time you saw Sacha Inchi in your local supermarket? Not so much.

21 Day Fix





21 day fix is truly an awesome program, my favorite one! It's great for any fitness level and is a wonderful blend of cardio, light weights, and fat burning. It's a 21 day program developed by fitness trainer Autumn Calabrese. The program comes with 2 workout dvds that have a 30 minute workout for each day of the week and then a couple of bonus workouts, none are longer than 30 minutes. 21 Day Fix is a nutrition and fitness program that makes losing weight so simple. Easy-to-follow portion control and 30-minute workouts take the guesswork out of losing weight to help you see results fast—up to 15 pounds in just 21 days! Whether you want to lose a few pounds before your next vacation or jump-start a bigger weight-loss goal, 21 Day Fix is the program for you. It’s simple, it’s fast, and it works. If you’re ready to get serious, 21 Day Fix can help you lose the weight.

What really sets 21 day fix apart from other workouts is the eating guide and the color coded portion control containers. It's based on clean eating and nutrition. There is so much variety. So many foods you can eat, and lots of kid friendly options too. Very tasty meals! My children and my husband eat what I eat, your family will love it. It's not "diet" food. Each food group is separated into different colors. You'll measure foods in your containers each day, and each day you'll consume a certain amount of containers and tally those up to reach a target number of containers (the target is determined by your starting weight). So the beauty of it is there's NO calorie counting!! Just consume each container of yummy food each day and you're good to go! You don’t have to count calories, points, or log your food into diet software.
With 21 Day Fix, everything is laid out for you. All you have to do is use the specially designed portion-control containers and do one 30-minute workout per day. Commit to it for 21 days, and you’re going to love your results. The program is unique because it’s the only fitness and nutrition program that combines portion-control containers and world-class workouts. By placing equal emphasis on fitness and healthy portion control, 21 Day Fix can help anyone lose weight—and keep it off—in a way that’s simple and sustainable. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds, you can do it with this program.There is also a modifier for each workout to take it at your own pace. No matter your fitness level, this program will work for you! Each 21 days is called a "round." You can do back to back rounds or take breaks in between. So you can go as many rounds as you want to reach your target weight/fitness level- 10-15 pounds in the first 21 days, then back to back rounds to lose more to reach your goal ultimate goal of 50 pounds (or as much as you would like). Once you have met your goal, you'll use the program to practice weight maintenance. There's a separate calculation in the guide for weight maintenance versus weight loss. I've been using my program for the last 8 months, even though I met my goal in two! It's a lifestyle change, not a diet. You eat according to your goal. The program works like a charm, it's really quite amazing!
You'll have access to my amazing challenge/support group where I will coach you through the program, every step of the way! Once you order from my site, you'll have access to my online coaching community which includes an online resource library filled with message boards, workout tips, fitness information, recipes, and more AND my Facebook challenge group that I host. It is a group of people that are all doing 21 day fix together. We post each day when our workout is done, for accountability. The group is there for questions, encouragement, support, recipes, and accountability. I'll virtually coach you through every step! Every video, every move. YOU CAN DO THIS! These are my personal results after one round, 21 days.
And here's some others!
21 Day Fix also has an EXTREME version! 21 Day Fix extreme is sort of the graduate program of 21 Day Fix. There are no cheat days worked into the meal plan like the original version, so you won't have any leeway for chocolate or wine. The meal plan is dialed in to give you extreme results, to get shredded in just 21 Days! The workouts are more challenging as well, still 30 minutes. The Extreme package also comes with Autumn Calabrese's Countdown to Competition meal plan, the meal plan she uses when training for a bikini competition. Love, love, love this program! You do not have to have done the first version, but you do have to be already working out consistently. If you want a combo pack to do the original and then move to the extreme, check it out here! And of course, some results to see!
What does it include? 1. Workouts The Program includes seven 30-minute workouts, one for each day of the week— so your mind never gets bored, and your body never adapts. The workouts feature a unique blend of steady-state aerobics and cardio, light weights, and explosive power moves that target every muscle in the body—to help you zap away pounds. There is a modifier in each video so that you can take it at your own pace. 2. Nutrition For your nutrition, you'll get our convenient, color coded portion control containers to control your portions and count your calories for you so you don't have to! You’ll not only be practicing portion control—you’ll be eating clean foods. Plus Shakeology to replace one meal a day. for one month! You'll also get a starting guide and workout calender and the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan, and the Extreme version comes with an extra "Countdown to Competition" meal plan which Autumn uses to prepare for her bikini competitions. 3.

If you're ready to go, just scroll down and complete the application and I will contact you to get started! If you need more information about the containers and food, read on!
Maybe you've seen the 21 Day Fix containers, or maybe you've just heard about them and thought one of these things... 1. HOLY COW! That seems like A LOT of work! 2. UM!?!? Those containers are tiny, I'll starve! 3. I can't eat anything good, what if I don't like the food?! I'm here to tell you, you're so mistaken! I love you, but so mistaken! Please don't let fear keep you from doing this program. The tagline for 21 Day Fix is SIMPLE FITNESS, SIMPLE EATING, FAST RESULTS. And it's every bit true.
#1- It's really not a lot of work. You know what is a lot of work? Counting calories. Counting calories is a ton of work, logging in every meal, researching each ingredient to find the calorie content, using some phone software to keep track every deal, every meal, every snack, every single time you take a bite of something. Sheesh, I'm exhausted just talking about it. And you know what, counting calories isn't even effective! 80% of people UNDER-REPORT! So you're eating too much anyways guys. Plus, calories are different. Calories from fat, calories from carbs, calories from proteins, did you know that there is a proper RATIO of calories that you should be getting from each of these macronutrients every single day. Yep, ratio, math term, no thanks. With 21 Day Fix, the guess work is gone! Rest your brain. No counting calories! No under-reporting, no macronutrient calculations, SIMPLE EATING. You use your handy- dandy color coded containers to measure your food each day, you have a tally of how many containers you eat each day, and you tally off as you go. Instead of counting thousands of calories and researching the calorie content of each thing that goes into your mouth, you tally off a dozen or so containers and the calorie content of each is built in to the program, so you don't have to give it a second thought. Is the food difficult to make? Nope. Your 21 Day Fix nutrition can be as simple as a shake for breakfast, a piece of fruit for snack, a turkey wrap for lunch, another piece of fruit, and a dinner of YOUR choosing. Your regular dinners likely work, as long as you are using clean ingredients! And if you want to have grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and a salad for dinner, instead of some intricate recipe, more power to you, this program will be even easier for you! Here's a sample of my meal plan. Each meal that is underlined can be found here with the complete recipe!
#2- The containers may look small, but did you know that this program teaches you proper portion control? You can take what you've learned and make it a lifestyle. These portion sizes are what you SHOULD be eating! American meals are sometimes 4 times the size they should be. Isn't that crazy? When I first started 21 day fix, I learned that I was eating portion sizes that should have been for a man, twice my size! And my ratios were all out of whack! Here I am a year later, and I've taken my new education of portion sizes and applied it to my life. When I started fix, I would measure my foods in the containers, then dump them out onto my plate so that I could visually see what that portion of mashed potatoes should look like. And voila! Now I know what the proper portion looks like on my plate, so I don't need to measure with my container, I'm a pro at portions! Furthermore, even though they are small portions, you are eating GOOD foods. The calories inside them are not empty, they are dense, nutritious calories, they fill you up! They keep you satisfied, and you're eating 5-6 of these smaller meals each day. Hunger? NOPE. You'll be so full, more often people tell me they can't possibly eat all their containers in one day!
#3 If it fits, it ships! There's HUGE and comprehensive lists of foods that you "can" eat. You can't eat candy, that's a given. But if you want wine, done! If you want chocolate, done! If you want mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, steak, done!!! If it's on the HUGE list of food, and it fits in with your containers that day, you're golden! There are some foods that you'll chop up to get inside the container for measurement, example, canteloupe, but there are others that you don't chop up you're just given a serving size, example 1 slice of bread counts as 1 yellow container. I promise you this, it's not difficult! Simple Eating. Simple Fitness (30 minutes a day), fast results (10-15 pounds in 21 days).
