Brownie Scramble with Peanut Butter Syrup

I woke up yesterday and the idea for this came into my head, I'm not sure why. But I decided to make it, and fell in love. Do you think chocolate and peanut butter are meant to be together? Do you love peanut butter cups? Do you love brownies? If so, you may just love this too. Now, this isn't the lowest calorie meal. If I were holding to 21 Day Fix containers I probably wouldn't make it often because it would use a lot of containers. That said, it's super HEALTHY, very FILLING, totally SATISFIES SWEET-TOOTH cravings, and it's YUMMY!


Brownie Scramble 
1 small banana (or half a large)
2 eggs
1 scoop Vegan Chocolate Shakeology
Evoo or coconut oil

Peanut Butter Syrup
2 Tsp PB
1 Tsp pure maple syrup

Mash up your banana. Add the eggs and Shakeology and mix until well combined. Pour into a heated skillet coated with EVOO or coconut oil and stir until cooked through. Combine PB and syrup and heat in the microwave for a bit. Then put on top of your scramble. Then enjoy the sweet chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness and feel good that you have just done something great for your body.

Fuzzy Chocolate

We have a peach tree in our backyard. Every other year we get tons of peaches. Like, at least 100 pounds of them. Two years ago we got so many that nearly half the branches on our tree broke from their weight. We should have thinned them, lesson learned. Even with only half the branches we used to have we still got at least 10 grocery bags full of peaches. We give loss away but even so we can'teat them fast enough. So, we freeze most of them to throw in smoothies throughout the year. Unfortunately for my husband the peaches ripened this year while I was away on a nearly month long vacation. So, he spent pretty much all his evenings for about two weeks prepping and freezing peaches. Lucky for me or freezer is now stocked with his hard work. I decided to try adding peaches to my shake today. Holy sweet goodness! So smooth and creamy and AWESOME! Grab yourself some Shakeology and frozen peaches and try it!

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip


After I came up with, and immediately fell in love with, the brownie batter dip, I started dreaming up other dip ideas. I love peanut butter cookies. And I love peanut butter with apples. And I totally loved dipping my apples in this super healthy and nutrient dense Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip!

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1/4 cup almond milk (or water or other milk of choice)
4 tsps PB, chunky or smooth (the real stuff made from just peanuts - I made it with smooth but I think I would like it even better with chunky) * 4 tsps = 1 Tbs plus 1 tsp
Add some cinnamon if you want :)

Mix it all together, then start dipping. I loved it with apples but bananas would be good to, or anything really. And remember, no guilt, because you're eating your healthiest meal of the day!

Almond Joy Shake-o

I LOVE Almond Joys! I love Mounds too! I love that sweet coconutty goodnes wrapped in chocolate. I like them with the crunchy almond in there, and without. I just love them. This tasty creation is stronger on the chocolate and weaker on the coconut than the candy bar, I'm not going to lie. But even still, the coconut, chocolate, and optional almond mix is still fantastic!

Almond Joy (or Mounds) Shake-o
1 scoop Chocolate or Vegan Chocolate Shakeology
1-1.5 cups coconut milk (or water or other milk of choice)
1/4-1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened is healthiest, obviously)
1/4-1/2 tsp coconut extract (optional)
1-2 cups ice
Optional garnish - 2 tsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tbs sliced almonds, 2 tsps shredded coconut

Blend it up! And be proud of yourself for doing something good for your body.

Simply Shaken Chocolate Shake-o

I really enjoy making up different types of Shakeology concoctions, usually in my blender. But sometimes I'm in a hurry, or I don't feel like having to clean up the blender mess, or I don't want to use any more containers or add any more calories, or I'm just in the mood for something even more simple. And when that happens, I simply shake up some Shake-o.

Simply Shaken Chocolate Shake-o
1 scoop chocolate or vegan chocolate Shakeology
1-1.5 cups water or almond milk (or other milk of choice)
ice (as much as you want to make it as cold as you want)

Put all the ingredients in a shaker cup or water bottle or something and just shake it up. Like I told you - simple!

If you want to change up the flavor there are lots of easy mix in options: Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne if you want it spicy, etc.), Extracts (vanilla, coconut, strawberry, caramel, orange, almond, etc.), Essential Oils* (cinnamon, orange, tangerine, etc.), Cinnamon Oil (like you would use to make cinnamon toothpicks or candy), powdered peanut butter (like PB Fit.)

Brownie Batter Dip

Do you ever find yourself licking the bowl that just held your brownie batter? And enjoying it quite a bit? And thinking that maybe you shouldn't even bother baking those brownies? If so, I have fantastic news for you. This tastes just like brownie batter, but it is HONESTLY HEALTHY. It doesn't just not have raw eggs, or flour, or butter, or oil, or anything considered even remotely unhealthy. In fact, it is so packed with nutrition that eating it you will get all the nutrients it would usually take several days of eating to be able to consume. It is packed with 17 grams of protein, plus the equivalent of eating 9 servings of fruits and vegetables! And it's only around 200 calories! And it takes less than a minute to make!

Honestly Healthy Brownie Batter Dip
1 scoop Chocolate or Vegan Chocolate Shakeology
6-8 Tbs almond milk (depending on desired thickness - or water or other milk of choice)

Just mix it together. Then get some apple slices, or bananas, or strawberries, or oranges, or a spoon, or your finger (I DON'T CARE WHAT) and DIG IN! And yes, you can totally eat the whole thing yourself - you do NOT have to share. So hide in a closet it you must. If share if you feel so inclined. Or tell them to make their own, it's easy enough. But don't feel guilty for one second about eating this decadent dessert for breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner, Or dessert. Or all day long! WHENEVER! It is so healthy you should eat whenever you are in the mood!

There are lots of optional mix-ins if you wanted to change up the flavor too: PB or powdered PB, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.), essential oils* (orange, tangerine, cinnamon, peppermint, etc.), extracts/flavors (vanilla, almond, coconut, orange, strawberry, etc.) cinnamon oil for candy making, whatever else you can think of. Have fun with it.

Protein-packed Chocolate Cookie Dough Energy Balls

One morning I wasn't feeling my normal veggie and egg scramble. But I did want something to chew so just starting out with a shake wasn't going to work either. So, I came up with these bad boys. And I'm so glad I did! Super filling, super easy, super tasty, super good for me - basically they were SUPER AWESOME!

Chocolate Cookie Dough Energy Balls
1 scoop chocolate or vegan chocolate Shakeology
1 small banana or 1/2 a large, smashed
2 Tbs peanut butter (the real stuff, that's just peanuts, that you have to stir)
1 1/3 cup quinoa (you can add more if you want them to be less sticky)
Cinnamon (optional)

Mix it all together. You can then roll into balls right away, or if you want a little less gooey mess on your hands you can put the mix in the freezer for an hour or two first. You can also freeze the balls after to make them a little more firm. But firm or not they are fantstic!

Banana Milkshake-ology

I grew up being spoiled drinking my dad's banana milkshakes. They're seriously awesome. They were a special summertime treat he made us when we were at our cabin. Sometimes he'd make them at home, but mostly at the cabin. I have a special place in my heart for banana milkshakes. 


I decided to try to make a healthy shakeology version. I'm not going to lie, they aren't as good as my dad's super fatty, sugary version. But it was GOOD! Ryan was hesitant to even try it because he didn't think he'd like it. But he was pleasantly surprised that he liked it so much he wanted his own. They're yummy. No ice in this one because you want it smooth and creamy. Go ahead and try it and tell me what you think.
Banana Milkshake-ology
1 scoop vanilla Shakeology
1 cup almond milk (or water or other milk of choice)
2 frozen bananas, broken in pieces
Blend it up, poor in a cup, and drink, thinking about how you just did something really good for your body and your taste buds. Go you! Now share it with a friend.
