Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Do you have chocolate cravings too? I'm totally guilty of having them more often than not. I've found a healthy way to curb those cravings. 

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding.



It's so delicious and it kicks the cravings right to the curb. I like to top it with a touch of greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup and a couple of dark chocolate chips. YUM!!

It's also super easy to make. You just have to have a little bit of patience while it sets!

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds 
• 1/2 Cup Almond Milk 
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Pure Maple Syrup, divided use
• 1 tsp Cacao powder 
• 3 Tbsp plain greek yogurt, divided use
• 4-5 dark chocolate chips 

Instructions

• Place chia seeds, almond milk, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, and 2 tbsp greek yogurt in a bowl and stir well 
• Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight 
• Stir once or twice while refrigerating so it sets evenly 
• Once to the consistency you prefer, top with 1 tbsp greek yogurt, 1 tsp maple syrup, and chocolate chips!  

I hope you enjoy this healthy chocolatey treat as much as I do!

Ultimate Portion Fix Nutrition Program

Ultimate Portion Fix Nutrition Program

About 4 years ago, I learned about a new nutrition system. It's easy to follow and, best of all, it works! The 21 Day Fix introduced us all to the fun rainbow-colored portion control containers. yes! Those simple little color-coded containers help you to get a handle on your nutrition and lose and maintain weight.

Now, the creator, Autumn Calabrese has revamped the nutrition program to make it new, exciting, and even better than before!

Portion control containers helped me learn to eat healthy foods in the right quantities and combinations to help me achieve my ultimate health and wellness goals. However, portion control is just the beginning!

In the new and improved program, Autumn goes deeper into other nutrition principles including balanced macronutrients and eliminating processed foods from your diet as much as possible. No more frozen diet meals or packaged diet snacks to count your calories. The Ultimate Portion Fix will help you break your sugar addiction, and get your whole family on board with healthy eating. It will also teach you how to maximize your nutrition to fuel your body for your workouts.

The Ultimate Portion Fix is about giving your body exactly what it needs to operate at its best! No quick fixes, no fasting, no trendy fad, and NO starving! You get to enjoy food and get the most out of what you eat because you will learn to feed your body what it needs in the proper ratios. I know that for me, this was a GAME changer. I was proud of how we ate and my clean eating. Yet, when I was introduced to the containers, I found that I was eating TOO MUCH of some healthy foods and NOT ENOUGH of the others. This took out the guesswork for me. My weight loss and fitness results in just a week on the original program were amazing. I can't wai tto see what happens with the new and improved programs!

Chicken and "Rice" Soup

With fall comes crisp weather and soup season! I LOVE making a huge batch of homemade soup. Soup is hearty and comforting and it warms your soul. In this recipe we swap brown rice or quinoa with organic cauli-rice. Extra veggies!!! And I promise, you won't even miss the rice. (But if you do, feel free to swap the cauli-rice out for 1c brown rice or quinoa.)

Chicken and "Rice" Soup 

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 3-4 large carrots, thinly sliced
• 3-4 stalks of celery, thinly sliced 
• 1 large onion, diced 
• 2 32oz cartons low-sodium, chicken broth 
• 1 bag frozen cauli-rice
• salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste

Instructions

• Thinly slice carrots and celery
  
• Dice onion
• Heat a large pot and 1 Tbsp EVOO over medium-high heat 
• Add garlic and diced vegetables, cook until soft, stirring occasionally (about 5-10 minutes) 
• Season with salt (minimal), pepper, and Italian Seasoning
  
• Add chicken broth, cooked chicken breast, and cauli-rice, bring to a boil
• Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes
• Taste and add seasoning if desired

This is our go-to recipe. It's as delicious to eat as simple as it is to make. Enjoy and stay warm!

The Secret's Out!

Fall means cozy sweaters, colorful leaves, football, and... yep, pumpkin! You all know from my last post that I'm a fan of all things pumpkin!!

That's why I can't keep this a secret any longer. My favorite Superfoods are going to be available in the BIGGEST and BEST flavor of the season! 

Pumpkin Spice Shakeology!

Starting on September 17, 2018 in the US and on October 11, 2018 in Canada, you can order Vegan Pumpkin Spice Shakeology in 14 single-serve packet boxes! 

This means you can enjoy the deliciousness of pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) without derailing your health and fitness goals or your calorie intake! when you mix it with almond milk and frozen spinach or ice it tastes like a dessert!

Shakeology has many healthy benefits and is crafted with a blend of protein, probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. This magical shake makes my hair and nails grow like a weed, and allowed me to go from an abnormal stomach X-Ray in February, to having my digestive issues resolved by May.

Why Is Pumpkin Spice Shakeology Better? 

A latte can cost you at least 380 calories, is usually loaded with sugar, and has a very limited nutritional value.... don't get me wrong. I love to treat myself with at least one or two per season. That being said, I'm super excited that I may not have to do that! I can indulge in this pumpkin spice shake EVERY day without feeling guilty! It helps me fill any nutritional gaps I may have and it also helps me properly nourish my body.

Pumpkin Spice Shakeology is going to be one of the best ways to invest in my health with the business of back to school.
