End of Summer Shakeology Frozen Yogurt

Oh dear... I'm in frustrating mandated 'rest mode' with this bum shoulder. If not being able to workout hard makes me want to do anything it's EAT!! But, I choose to focus on my nutrition and commit to heal and not be so hard on myself.


I ate GREAT today!! And instead of caving into ice cream on a hot Summer day I made Shakeology Frozen Yogurt instead! This stuff is so good I even caught my toddler red handed with her fingers in it while it was freezing. Try it out for yourself:

Shakeology Frozen Yogurt

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1/2 of a ripe banana
1/2 cup chocolate Shakeology

Put it all in a blender and blend until smooth. Put in freezer until soft/frozen and enjoy!!

Try it with a drizzle of peanut butter on top (or with a little whipped cream if you must!).

Kids & Fresh Garden Pesto



My kids are OBSESSED with spaghetti squash... and lucky for them it has taken over our garden!! We also have some tasty cherry tomatoes growing so I whipped up a fresh Cherry Tomato Pesto to put on our baked spaghetti squash and tilapia.

I'm figuring out that my kids get soooo excited to eat things that they GREW themselves and that makes for happy kids and a happy Mama!! #veggiesforthewin




This pesto is so versatile and so EASY to make. Here is the recipe: 

Cherry Tomato Pesto

1 cup baby spinach

1 1/2 cups Fresh Basil

1 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes

2 tbsp Olive oil

2 cloves garlic Blend!!! Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese! You can heat it slowly on low heat till warm or serve it room temperature!!!
