Shakeology Chocolate

Shakeology Chocolate 

Do you have a sweet tooth?! --- but don't want to ruin all the hard work you have been doing in the kitchen and on your fitness? Then this is for you!

I am OVER THE MOON excited about this.  I love sweets and treats and have a hard time resisting them so finding this recipe is a lifesaver!! 

I have been working to cut sugar (*working* being the key word).  It's hard work but I am trying because it is so addictive and the more I eat the more I crave it! This means less sweets and treats in my meal plans but --- never fear ---- Shakeology chocolate to the rescue! 

I saw another coach mention that she was going to try this and I HAD to give it a whirl too!! 

The recipe is SO simple 

• 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology 
• 1 spoon of coconut oil melted

Here's what'cha do: 

1. Stir it together
2. Spread it on a sheet of wax paper
3. Put into the freezer until solid
4. Break or cut into chunks 

.....and enjoy!!

Just had myself a chocolate bar with zero guilt. :)  nom nom!! 

21 Day Fix/Fix Extreme Portions: 

1 spoon of coconut oil is a good fat 

1 shakeology serving is 1 red

*So I counted it as a red and as a spoon. 

You could add all sorts of deliciousness to this recipe if you wanted.  Think about adding in some peanut butter, PB2, or other nuts to give it some variety! 

I am so excited to stay on track and still have chocolate!

-->get out there and try it, you will not be disappointed.

I LOVE this recipe.  It was one of the first recipes I branched out to when I decided to embrace clean eating.  I was worried I would not be able to still enjoy my sweets and treats---BOY was I wrong.  Thank goodness for Beachbody having some delicious recipes for me to try! 

I looked at the ingredients and must admit, when I saw garbanzo beans I was thinking---Oh goodness, how will this taste delicious at all?!?  But once I made them I wanted to gobble them all down.  I had to control all my urges and tell myself that even though they are very healthy --- it is still all things in moderation and I shouldn't gobble up the whole pan myself without sharing with my hubs! 

*Bonus* It's 21 day fix (my favorite program) approved!
