Sweet Tooths UNITE! There’s nothing I like better than sugar. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work well with my “girlish figure” so to speak. Plus, sugar contributes to unpleasantness like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. In my health journey, I have struggled with cutting sugar out of my diet. I have been seen begging my husband to finish off a box of cookies so I won’t eat them, stealing candy from my children’s stash when they’ve gone to bed, and even coming up with reasons to take my daughter out for ice cream when she doesn’t even want it. It isn’t pretty. The struggle is REAL.
My saving grace? Shakeology recipes that taste like cookie milk shakes. Here are my top 3:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp nut butter (I personally love Sunbutter)
1-2 tsp chocolate chips
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup Ice
Blend and enjoy!
Thin Mint Shakeology
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
1/4 tsp mint extract (that stuff is strong yo!)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup ice
Blend and enjoy!
Snickerdoodle Shakeology
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1 tsp nut butter (I personally love Sunbutter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp honey
cinnamon to taste
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup ice
Blend and enjoy!
