7 Day Shakeology Challenge

7 Day Shakeology Challenge 








Anyone interested in doing a 7 day shakeology challenge with me? Ok so I drink Shakeology 
everyday but I KNOW how nervous I was to commit to it. I was kinda freaking out that you 
could only get it online without trying it first (what sort of scam is this?!) 

Thankfully, my friend Hillary was drinking it and assured me it was legit... so I trusted her...took 
the plunge and ordered it on home direct. I am soooo weird about getting things on autoship 
because I don't want to get charged a million dollars and sucked into something I can't cancel. 
Lucky for us, Beachbody has an amazing customer service staff and if you need to postpone or 
cancel your order, you just shoot 'em an email.

I am sooooo glad I got the full 30 day supply because to be honest with you...the first time I 
made it...I made it with water and ice to see what it tasted like BARE bones. I liked it but wasn't 
IN LOVE with it, you now? 

Maybe it's because I had no idea how to mix shakes...maybe it's because I wasn't a shake person...
But after reading some recipes and getting tips on how you should blend it, I figured out how 
to make it the way I LOVE. Guys, I am serious OBSESSED with this stuff- I would not 
lead my friends astray!

(Some tips I learned from that first week....always put your liquid in FIRST! I didn't know if you 
put the powder in first it creates this air pocket that is impossible to mix haha)

If you are not yet addicted to Shakeology...Try it out for a week and see/FEEL the benefits for 
yourself. 

The purpose of this Challenge: Well it's designed for people who need a little help getting 
their fitness and nutrition journey going, but aren't ready to commit to a full 30, 60 or 90-day 
program yet (I know how overwhelming that can be!). This Shakeology Challenge will help you 
lose weight, incorporate exercise into your daily routine and get in the habit of eating healthy, 
balanced meals a day. 

During the seven days, you will be asked to:
  • Replace one meal a day with Shakeology
  • Exercise at least 5 of the 7 days for at least 30 minutes (walking, jogging, Beachbody 
  • workout, gym, your choice! Just get moving!)
  • Eat healthy, nutrient dense meals 95% of the time. You can browse the challenge group for 
       recipe ideas- I promise they are yummy. We will follow the Shakeology eating plan found here.
  • Drink at least 64 oz. of water per day
  • Weigh in only on days 1, 4 and 8 (for 7 full days of nutrition and exercise)
What do YOU get out of this? 
  • In 7 days you will FEEL the benefits of Shakeology, the energy it gives you, and honestly...eating 
       clean just puts me in a better mood!
  • A closed Facebook group for Accountability, Support and new friends hehe
  • Workout routine ideas and encouragement
  • Clean eating guidelines, tons of healthy and delicious recipes
  • A healthy routine that sets the wheels in motion for a healthier lifestyle 
  • Weight loss is an added bonus, the real benefit is in the foundation you lay and the nutrients your body will 
         be getting
The Challenge starts May 16th!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Steel Cut Oatmeal

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Steel Cut Oatmeal




It’s a lot easier to get out of bed in the morning when breakfast is this peanut butter and chocolate oatmeal from Autumn Calabrese’s FIXATE cookbook. Autumn combined hearty steel-cut oats with all-natural peanut butter and Vegan Chocolate Shakeology for a protein boost, but she didn’t stop there! 

This energizing breakfast gets even more tantalizing flavor from cinnamon, rum extract, and fresh berries. This is 258 calories worth waking up for!

Total Time: 40 min.
Prep Time: 10 min.
Cooking Time: 30 min.
Yield: 4 servings, about ½ cup each
Ingredients:
4 cups water
¼ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
1 cup dry steel-cut oats, gluten-free
1½ scoops Vegan Chocolate Shakeology
½ tsp. pure caramel extract, vegan
4 tsp. all-natural peanut butter
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
8 Tbsp. fresh mixed berries
Preparation:
1. Bring water and salt to a boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add oats; mix well. Reduce heat to low. Gently boil, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes, or until thick and soft. Remove from heat.
3. Add Shakeology, extract, and peanut butter; mix well.
4. Top evenly with cinnamon and berries to serve.
Tip: Caramel extract can be found at specialty stores or online. Look for an all-natural product.


Cashew Queso Sauce

Cashew Queso Sauce




This nutty concoction tastes like creamy queso sauce, but it doesn’t have an ounce of cheese. Perfect for me, because I am dairy free. 

Cashews soaked in water magically transform into a luscious sauce that’s just like nacho cheese. 
Spiked with spices, a touch of tomato paste for color and richness, and nutritional yeast (a secret ingredient that makes foods taste like cheese) this vegan dip has a flavor that you’ll want to lick clean from the bowl.
Total Time: 20 min.
Prep Time: 20 min.
Cooking Time: None
Yield: 12 servings, 2 Tbsp. each
Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews
3 cups water, divided use
2 Tbsp. tomato paste, no sugar-added
1 tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. smoked paprika
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
¾ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Preparation:
1. Place cashews and 2 cups water in a medium bowl. Let soak for up to 3 hours. Rinse and drain.
2. Place drained cashews, remaining 1 cup water, tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, yeast,, salt, and lemon juice in a blender (or food processor); cover. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides of blender if needed. Add additional water if needed.
3. Keep refrigerated for up to five days.
