Shakeology Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte

Shakeology Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte 



It's that time of year for pumpkin everything!! I'm a fan of Starbucks chai tea latte and pumpkin spice latte. So I decided I to make a healthier version with my vanilla Shakeology and it came out delicious! 



Ingredients:

1/2 c. of ice 
1 Tazo Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Bag
1 banana (I prefer frozen - your preference)
1 scoop of vanilla Shakeology 
1 tbsp. of powdered peanut butter.



1. I made my tea in my Keurig (without a K-cup inside).  I chose the 16 oz. option. You can make it however you'd like... microwave, boil water, etc...

2. Let tea steep for 5 minutes. Cover tea and place in your refrigerator to completely cool for a few hours. (**Can also do this overnight).

** AFTER tea has cooled

3. Place in the blender cup:  ice, banana, tea, powdered peanut butter, and Shakeology.

4.  Blend until smooth and ENJOY your fall treat!!

**I prefer my Shakeology with a milkshake consistency, which is why I prefer my banana frozen.  However, you can make yours with whatever thickness you desire by adding more ice or freezing your banana.

Hope you like it!  If you have any questions or an interest in Shakeology please feel free to reach out to me! I'd be happy to help!  Happy Fall!!

Easy Berry Crumble.


3-Step Easy Berry Crumble. 

Ingredients:

- 1/2 c. of plain organic Greek yogurt 
- 1 c. of a frozen organic berry fruit blend
- 1 sprinkle of chia seeds
- 2 tbsp. of whole grain blend granola


1). Place the cup of berries in a small mug or cup and heat for a minute. You don't want the berries mushy or soft.  You are trying to thaw them to be edible and firm. 

2).  Take the berries out of the microwave and place the Greek yogurt on top.  Just like you would whipped cream! 

3).  Sprinkle granola and chia seeds on top and eat! 


This Berry Crumble is healthier than fruit on the bottom yogurt or ice cream!  It makes a great snack or dessert!


And it is 21-Day Fix Approved!

1/2 red - Protein (Greek yogurt)
1 purple - Fruit
Less than 1/2 of 1 yellow - Carb (Granola)

You're only one workout away from a good mood...



So... you don't WANT to WORKOUT today? 
.
Remind yourself:
.
➡️ How SATISFIED you feel after after a hard, sweaty workout.
.
➡️ WHY you started in the first place.
.
➡️ That FEELING you get when you step on the scale or measure yourself and the PROGRESS you've made.
.
➡️ How HAPPY you are when you are when you look in the mirror and you can SEE your muscle growth or weight loss.
.
➡️ How PROUD you are of yourself after ACCOMPLISHING your goals.
.
➡️ How INSPIRING you and your journey are to OTHERS.
.
➡️ That tomorrow you can either be SORRY or SORE. 
.
➡️ STRENGTH comes from the STRUGGLE and OVERCOMING the things you thought you couldn't do.
