Healthy Peanut Butter Cups

If you are looking for a way to indulge without the guilt, this is the recipe for you! Tastes JUST like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, except healthy. ;)


Healthy Peanut Butter Cups (serves 8)

Ingredients:

4 tbsp coconut oil
1-1/2 scoops (or approx. 8 tbsp) chocolate Shakeology (I use vegan chocolate)
3 tbsp all natural peanut butter (or almond butter if you prefer)


Directions:


  1. Melt 2 tbsp of coconut oil in microwave for approx. 30 seconds and add half portion Shakeology (3/4 scoop or approx. 4 tbsp).
  2. Mix coconut oil and Shakeology until it becomes a thin cake batter consistency. Then pour mixture in the bottom of each muffin tin mold until it completely coats the bottom of each. Freeze for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from freezer and add peanut butter to each mold.
  4. Melt the remaining coconut oil and mix with Shakeology. Pour evenly over the top to cover each cup.
  5. Freeze for 5 more minutes.


VIOLA! Dessert is served!

**For my 21 Day Fixers 1 cup =  2 teaspoons & 1/4 red**

Friday Night Pizza Alternative


These were a huge hit in the Lund house last week! Even my picky 6 year old didn't noticed I had swapped his regular crust for cauliflower. Ha!

Mini Cauliflower Mozzarella & Tomato Pizza

Ingredients:
  • 1 large head cauliflower (4 cups shredded)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 12 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tomato, sliced into 12 rounds
  • ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3 teaspoons garlic powder


Directions:

1. Using a food processor, shred cauliflower into small crumbles.

2. Cook cauliflower in microwave in a large microwave-safe bowl for 8 minutes. Allow to cool for 8-10 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 450°F.

4. In large bowl combine cooled cauliflower, eggs, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, oregano, basil and garlic powder and stir to combine.

5. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets and divide mixture into 12 balls. Place balls on baking sheets and pat each into a thin round about 3-4 inches wide. Bake in oven 15 minutes until golden brown (you will notice the edges are slightly charred but that is OK).

6. Remove baking sheets from the oven and turn on broiler to HI. Top each mini crust with pizza sauce, remaining mozzarella, basil leaves, Parmesan cheeses and tomato slices.

7. Place under the broiler for about 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove sheets from oven and allow to cool before serving.

Day 1 - Countdown to Summit!

Eeeeekkkk! Today I officially registered for our annual coach event Summit in Nashville!!!! The hubby and I will be doing LIVE workouts I will be doing with Chalene Johnson (PiYo) and Autumn Calabrese creator of my favorite workout 21 Day Fix & 21 Day Fix Extreme!!


I decided that in order to prepare for this event next month, I am going right along side my challengers in our current health / fitness support group! I am there to motivate them, but what they don't realize is how much they motivate me. <3

Today was tricky. A SUPER early 4AM alarm, full day of traveling, followed by meetings and the hour time change here in Oklahoma. Big thumbs down seeing as how I am exhausted but it's still light out and my body down't think it is bed time yet. lol

I didn't say this lifestyle was easy all the time. What I did say is that it is possible if you want it bad enough, just like anything in life. 

So I packed my snacks, Shakeo, and grabbed some fresh fruit at the airport. Then I went out to lunch AND dinner with colleagues. As much as I wanted to go for the chicken quesadilla at Chili's or a burger and onion rings at the local place we ate dinner, I stuck to the plan. Grilled Chicken salad for lunch and Tilapia with a half baked potato for dinner. --- insert pat on the back ;)

I did not take any pics of my food today for fear that my boss may get a little weirded out. I mean who takes pics of their food?? This girl, that's who! :p But I did track all of my containers on my handy little iPhone app. (They have something similar available on Android as well.) This is great to be sure you are eating enough and getting in all of your containers. 


Container Tracker

My alarm is set for my workout here in my hotel room bright and early! Now I am going to try to convince my body to go to sleep.

Sample Meal Plans - 21 Day Fix APPROVED

Have you ever wondered what in the world I eat during the week? How much? Is this a 'diet' or really a lifestyle where you eat REAL food?
Here are a couple of sample meal plans that I created for my challengers this week. Keeping it simple is KEY to SUCCESS.

One common misconception is eating healthy is expensive. However, when I plan out my meals before I go to the grocery store, and buy only the things I need for our family of 4 to eat that week, I actually spend less than I used to when I bought chips, diet coke, and frozen dinners. I challenge you to give it a shot! 

If you ever need help in planning feel free to reach out me and I would be happy to help! <3

Confessions of a Busy Mom with LOTS of Excuses

So this went down today...

Vanilla Snow FroYo with Butterfinger and Hot Fudge!

As a coach people look to me to be their source of motivation, guidance, and support through their journey to live healthier lifestyles. Lately I have NOT been practicing what I preach. BUT I am human and realize falling off track is going to happen from time to time. So let me lay it all out there about what has gone on the last 3 weeks:


  • I have worked out less than 5 times.
  • I have eaten everything from cookies to pizza to fried macaroni & cheese (which is ridiculously amazing btw!).
  • I haven't meal prepped, which has turned into a LOT of eating out and spending over $150 last week! How quickly I forget how much we save by spending and hour or two a week meal prepping!
  • I have had a bit more than just my 1 or 2 glasses of wine each week. ;)


Along with all of the above, I have thrown around my share of excuses:


  • I really need that extra 30 minutes of sleep. Even though I know I would't be half as tired if I was getting my workouts in...oh the irony lol
  • I don't have time between my insane work schedule and the kids to squeeze in that 30 minutes to get my butt moving.
  • It's just one day, I will start fresh tomorrow.
  • We don't need to plan our meals, we'll figure it out each day. Which really meant..."What can we order in?"


SO if any of this sounds like you, don't beat yourself up over it. Instead make the decision to commit yourself to living healthy this week. Just DECIDE, it's that simple.

I am looking forward to working right along my challengers tomorrow in Day 1 of our new health & fitness support group! Sometimes you just need a little accountability, ya know?! If you ever do, feel free to reach out to me and we can do this TOGETHER.

Helpful tips:

  • Drink LOTS of H2O!! ---> Did you know you should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces in water every day?! Get to it!
  • 30 minutes of some sort of exercise DAILY.
  • Read or listen to personal development. If you aren't growing yourself each day, you are moving backwards. --- Think on that! ;)
  • Eat whole fresh foods that will FUEL your body. We eat to live, not live to eat!
