Farm Fresh Perfection

As promised!!!! The SECRET trick to getting FRESH farm hard boiled eggs to PEEL!!!

Hallelujah!!!

No more frustration and wasted protein!! 😂😂

I loooove having chickens..🐔🐔

But I HAD to figure out how to get these perfect sources of protein to PEEL!!!

Thanks to the AMAZING theprairiehomestead.com:

I learned.... You have to STEAM them!!

Put your eggs in a metal colander...

Place your colander in a large pot with water on the bottom!!!

(Not enough to submerse the eggs!!! Just enough so you don't boil it all off)

Put a lit on the pot and steam them for 20-22 minutes!!!

Place them in cold water directly after steaming to halt the cooking process!!

Then...dry... Peel and enjoy!!

Or if you're ME.... Draw happy faces on them with sharpie and put them in the fridge for FAST and perfect protein!!!

Yay for EGGS!!!

Health is Wealth

Have you come down from your Easter sugar buzz yet?? I may or may not have eaten one too many chocolate eggs over the past week. Having a treat once in a while is no big deal, but it can be easy to lose sight of how big of a role what we eat plays in our overall health. Once again, this is where Shakeology comes in with 70 nutrition packed superfoods packed into one glass. It makes it so EASY to jump start a more balanced diet.

But don't just take it from me... here is how one of Beachbody's top coaches, Seay Stanford, explains why she is such a big fan:

“As a holistic health professional and nutrition expert, I’m a firm believer that when it comes to getting and staying healthy and fit, what we put in our mouth plays about a 70% role in our overall health. Because when you think about it, there really isn’t such a thing as bad fitness. However, there is such a thing as bad nutrition. And bad nutrition is far more prevalent in the majority of people today—regardless of their exercise regimen, or lack thereof.

But thanks to Beachbody, there’s an incredible solution to this poor nutrition epidemic, and it’s called Shakeology. One of the biggest things that separates Shakeology from all the other protein shakes on the market is its quality ingredients. Not only is Shakeology packed with over 70 premium ingredients, it’s also loaded with potent superfoods from around the world that most of us would never have the opportunity to consume.

Another reason I love Shakeology over other shakes is because I know I am not comparing carbs/protein/fats on labels, instead I’m only comparing what’s listed after the word “INGREDIENTS.”

Seay Stanford, Top Beachbody Coach

Those words tell you exactly what you need to know about what you’re putting into your body. While there are some big words listed on the back of the Shakeology bag that I can’t correctly pronounce, the truth is, I don’t need to. All I need to know is that there is NOTHING artificial in Shakeology. And most importantly, it does NOT contain two big No-No’s: there are NO artificial flavors in Shakeology, and there are NO artificial sweeteners.

And having that inside knowledge about all the things that aren’t in Shakeology completely leaves you in the know. So since we truly are what we eat (or drink)—now is a great time to say YES to Shakeology! As the saying goes: Health is wealth. And my goal is to be as wealthy as possible. Thanks, Shakeology.”

Happy Birthday, Shakeology!!

So last week was the 6th birthday of my most favorite supplement of all time, SHAKEOLOGY. I know you've heard me praise it before but this stuff really is the bee's knees!! To celebrate the birthday you can now order a Shakeology Super Sampler which has all 6 flavors (Greenberry, Chocolate, Chocolate Vegan, Strawberry, Vanilla, and Tropical Strawberry Vegan) in one box so now you can try them all and find your favorite to come to your doorstep each month. 

One of the reasons I love Shakeology so much is because it is so versatile - smoothies, cookies, pancakes, etc. And it is PACKED with SUPERNUTRIENTS!! And when you combine it with one of Beachbody's programs like T25 the results can be AMAZING - even LIFE CHANGING!! Check out Ashley's success story from the Shakeology blog:

“I was only 5′ 3″ but tipped the scale at 200 pounds. Sure, I just had a baby, but nobody at my height should weigh anywhere near what I did. I thought about working out, but my excuses were: I’m too tired, I’m in too bad of shape to even begin a program, and I have NO time. Well thanks to T25, all of my excuses got left in the dust.

My goal with T25 was to lose the baby weight as well as to find my health and myself again. I so desperately wanted to be happy, fit, and the Ashley I remembered. I’m not going to lie, the T25 workouts were INTENSE, but that’s why they’re only 25 minutes. After only ONE round I lost 47 lbs. and went from a size 16 to a 6! Today I feel strong, confident, HEALTHY, and in control of my own health and fitness. My endurance is through the roof and I have so much energy. Not only am I physically fit, but I transformed inside too! I wear my smile all the time because I feel better about myself now than I have in years.”
