Clean Chocolate Shakeology Lava Cake

Ok, so who doesn't love desserts??? I know my peanut butter and chocolate addiction can get very bad!! When I was younger, I would literally eat Reese cups DAILY!!! Pathetic, but fortunately I have found my chocolate replacement... SHAKEOLOGY!! This has not just helped me get my veggies in since I despised them, gave me the nutrients I need, but has helped my cravings in so many ways!! 

I am not here to throw out another "diet shake", "weight loss shake", or "protein shake" because it is NONE of those! You must eat clean!! This is simply a Health Shake that is giving you more nutrition than you get from you typical every day meals.. give you a meal with a good protein to carb ratio that will keep you fuller longer.

Alright, so lets get to the chase... I know you are not suppose to heat Shakeology (it will cause it to lose its nutritional value), BUT when you are ready to binge on a nice 1000 calorie desert, Im all about heating this bad boy up and making it into a chocolate lava cake!!

Ingredients:

For Lava Cake:

1 scoop chocolate Shakeology

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk

For Icing:

1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Tbsp Natural Peanut butter

Directions:

1. In a microwavable bowl, add lava cake ingredients, mix together, and place in microwave for 45 seconds
2. While cake is warming, mix icing ingredients together
3. Place bowl with lava cake upside down to remove from bowl and place on plate.  
4. Top off with Icing
5. ENJOY!!!

How easy is that?!?! Seriously, it satisfies your cravings like no other!!! I was so close to going to grab some ice cream and I know I would've felt so guilty!! This is your chance to eat guilt free and eat closer to your fitness goals!!! 

Salted Caramel Shakeology

I've had these crazy cravings for something sweet... Unfortunately this fit momma is not allowed to binge anymore before my big NPC Figure show next week! FORTUNATELY, I have found a HEALTHY alternative that allows me to continue getting closer to my health and fitness goals!! So, when you are craving these yummy fall recipes and a little caramel, you put it all together and get a SALTED CARAMEL SHAKEOLOGY!!!

While others are spending their cash on fast food, unhealthy lunches that get them no where close to their fitness goals, I am taking 2 minutes to make me up an amazing high quality shake full of dense nutrition that I do not even get with my typical daily meals! 
If you want to reach your goals, you need to find ways around those cravings! SHAKEOLOGY has done just that for me.  Since starting my fitness journey with Beachbody, I have found using Shakeology daily in place of one of my meals (I switch them around, depending on my schedule), my cravings have decreased, my bloating is less, and my energy has increased because I'm fueling my my body with those natural, healthy nutrients! 

Now my job is to help others learn about clean eating, and exercise to live a healthy lifestyle, rather than constantly dieting and ruining your body.
