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!

Take a Chance

Peaches and cottage cheese. So, so easy, quick, delicious, and good for me! 
I spent most of my life thinking I didn't like cottage cheese. I didn't care for it as a kid and so I just never ate it and thought it was because I didn't like it. Then I decided to give it a try about 5 years ago. And I totally liked it! Now eating cottage cheese with some fruit is one of my favorite treats! If I hasn't decided to try it that one day 5 years ago I would still be avoiding it. 
Maybe you have tried diet drinks in the past. Or protein shakes. And didn't care for them or get the results you wanted. And you don't want to try any more. Or maybe you've tried eating healthy and it only made you cranky. Or you just don't like to exercise? Well, if you'll give me a chance, I'll try to show you that you will LOVE Shakeology, that you can enjoy eating and get all the right nutrition for your body, and that there's a workout program that's right for YOU! What if I told you that if you took the chance you'd be protected with a money back guarantee so if I'm wrong you haven't lost anything. Would you be ready to take a chance then?

Minted Watermelon Parfait

If I tried to put a taste to summer it may very well be watermelon. I love watermelon - it's sweetness, that it's crunchy but so juicy, it seems like a fresh taste to me. I just love it. And it is actually really good for you as well - it has lycopene, pretty high vitamin content, and pretty high protein content as well. I eat quite a lot of watermelon in the summer. Several years ago I attended a social event and someone brought a watermelon and mint salad. I would have never thought to pair the two but I really liked it. I have quite a lot of mint growing in my backyard and generally don't find many uses for it, to be honest. But I occasionally add some to a bowl of watermelon now. It's yummy. Well, I decided to try something new and made this wonderful minted watermelon into a parfait. It did not disappoint!

Minted Watermelon Parfait
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 cup diced watermelon
1 tsp minced fresh mint
2 Tbs shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
1 tsp stevia (optional)

Toss watermelon and mint together along with half the stevia (if using). Mix the other half teaspoon stevia with yogurt. Add coconut and mint/watermelon mix. Yum, yum!

Roasted Cauliflower

I've mentioned my roasted veggie love before. They're my fav. But of all the roasted veggies in the world roasted cauliflower is hands down my absolute all time favorite! Seriously, I could eat it all day. Every day. It's addictive. It's sweet and salty and crunchy but soft. It's amazingly fantastic. Even if you think you don't like vegetables you should try it, because you will be a veggie convert! Honestly, it's that good. And, did you know veggies that kind of look like brains, such as cauliflower, are actually really good for your brain? Now you do.

Roasted Cauliflower
1 head of cauliflower
1-2 Tbs EVOO (depending on the size of the head)
garlic salt to taste (alternatively you could use sea salt and garlic powder, but I think garlic salt is just easier and I like it so I still use it, even if it isn't considered 100% clean.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

Put them in a produce bag (or ziplock if that's what you have.) Pour in the EVOO and sprinkle in the garlic salt. Twist the top of the bag trapping air inside (or zip the bag as the case may be.) Bounce the cauliflower around until it is evenly coated. Lay the cauliflower out on foil lined cookie sheet (just makes clean up easier) in a single layer with a little bit of space between florets. Roast until cauliflower is golden brown - 30ish minutes.

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!

The Pizzadilla

I saw something like this on Pinterest years ago and never got around to trying it out. And now that I have, I wish I had tried it years ago! Think pizza meets quesadilla, because that's what it is. You can make it however you like, basically you take anything you'd put on a pizza, and put it on a tortilla. You just make it like you would a quesadilla, on a pan on the stove, over medium heat. You can make it however you like! What I did was take a whole wheat tortilla, lay it on my pan, and sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese. I let that melt a bit, then spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on that. I put a layer of spinach on one half and a layer of tomato slice on the other. Once they were warmed through I folded it up, sliced it, and wondered why it had never occurred to me to make such a creation before. We've had them several times since! Yum!

Peanut Butter Milkshake-o

While my husband and I were engaged I got some wisdom teeth pulled. That night, since my mouth was sore, my super sweet mom went on a run to Jamba Juice to get us some smoothies. She got some for all of us. Ryan, my husband, asked for a peanut butter one. My mom about gagged. You have to understand, my mom does not like peanut butter. All my life she'd make everyone else in the family PB&J, but never for herself. She's just not a fan. And she could not comprehend why anyone would choose to have a peanut butter smoothie. And the truth is, I would never have considered ordering one either. But when I tried Ryan's I realized it was actually really good.
Well, now, for less money, calories, and sugar, and way more nutrition, I can make this tasty treat that is just as satisfying.

Peanut Butter Milkshake-o

• 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
• 1-1.5 cups almond milk (or water or other milk of choice)
• 1 Tbs peanut butter (all natural, peanut only PB)
• 1/2 small avocado (optional - but it makes it creamier)
• 1-2 cups ice (depending on desired thickness)

Blend it up! Enjoy!

Mango Parfait

I LOVE parfaits for a mid-day snack. Or a dessert. Or breakfast. Or whatever really. I am a huge fan of fruit and if I could get all my needed nutrients by just eating fruit I would totally do it! But I can't, dang it. Oh well, this delicious treat is so enjoyable I am happy to eat my fruit combined with other deliciousness. And, when possible, it is good to eat your fruit in accompaniment with protein. So this is perfect.

Mango Parfait

• 3/4 cup plain yogurt
• 2 Tbs rolled oats
• 1/2 cup diced Ataulfo mango (red mango works too, I just like the creamy smoothness of Ataulfo)

21 Day Fix container counts - red, 1/2 yellow, 1/2 purple

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.

Bean Burrito

You know when you have those nights when you REALLY just do not feel like cooking, at all? Please tell me I'm not the only one that happens to. Well, it is not super infrequent for me, unfortunately. So, I have a few things we do for dinners when these nights come around. And this is one of them. Easy, delicious, and pretty healthy - at least it is 21 Day Fix approved! I love Mexican food, I seriously could eat it every single day. And I actually met a girl once who had a bean burrito every day for lunch, and was always super excited about it. So get excited! Not that you need this recipe because there's nothing really to it, it's more just the idea that you can make something so simple and still stick to the 21 DF eating plan.

Bean Burrito
1 whole wheat tortilla
2/3 cup fat free refried beans (if you have homemade it will be even healthier!)
1/3 Tbs shredded cheese
1/4-1/2 cup fresh salsa

Spread the beans down the middle of the tortilla. Sprinkle with the cheese. Microwave 30-60 seconds until the cheese is melted. Top with salsa. Roll it up.

Container counts - 2 yellow, blue, 1/4-1/2 green

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!

Citrus Bliss Parfait

When I thought up this parfait I figured it would be tasty, but I was actually blown away by just how much I LOVED IT! It was fantastic! Sweet, sour, crunchy, smooth, deliciousness!

Citrus Bliss Parfait

• 3/4 cup plain yogurt
• 3 drops citrus essential oils (optional, but recommended - I used lemon, but orange, tangerine, a citrus blend, or any others would be good too. Not only will the oils add to the flavor in a fantastic way, it will also give your a immune system a boost at the same time. Bonus!)
• 1/2 cup diced pineapple
• 1/2 cup orange pieces
• 2 Tbs chopped pecans

Mix together the yogurt and oils. Then add everything else. Then enjoy every little spoonful, and subsequent lick of the bowl.
