Memorial Day Weekend: Ice Cream Treat

I saw this idea for a sugar free, dairy free ice cream option on Instagram not too long ago and had to try it out!!

It's super easy! And tastes amazing!

Ice "Cream" Recipe:

-1 can of coconut cream (I find it from Trader Joes)

-Fruit of choice (frozen)

-Splash of almond or cashew milk

I made mine with frozen bananas; however, I think that pineapple or peaches would be amazing!! You can taste the coconut flavor so mix fruits who's flavor will combine well with coconut.

First, place coconut cream in blender with fresh fruit. Blend until you have a smooth mixture. Then place into ice cream maker.

I wish I could tell you more steps, but it's that easy! A couple steps and you're done!

To make your own variations, you can always add pure extracts and/ or spices (like cinnamon) too.

Have fun with it and get the kids involved! If they make it, they will be more apted to try it.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! And a HUGE thank you to everyone who has sacrificed to provide Freedom for our country!!!! We are BLESSED because of people like you!!!!

Happy 3rd Blog-aversary!!

It's been three (3) years to the day since I began blogging. I've taken a LONG break lately as I have had many transitions in my life. But in the past few weeks, I've been considering sharing more about the next stage of this journey called life with you all. In three short years, I have gone from motivating others to experiencing weight gain and depression. Being delivered from said depression and fighting to lose the weight. I'd say sometimes in life, motivation shows up in the difficult times and then sometimes it's no where to be found-- a bit of a roller coaster really. And about a year ago, I was tired. Tired of not getting enough sleep, tired of the structure and I needed a break. This break cost me about 20 lbs and goodness has it been tough to get my mind right again. But I'm experiencing life!! Enjoying the moment! And making memories with my family and friends that have been so good for my soul. And in this season, ...

The Summit...Would You Start Over?

So as most of you know, I went to Nashville last month for Beachbody's national convention called Summit. It is the most amazing event where people who's purpose is to help others get together, share wonderful ideas/trainings and completely refill your cup before you go back home. This year one of the speakers was talking about completing a workout program in it's entirety when we returned home. And they were telling us not to start over if we hit some bumps in the road. Now, I for one, am a habitual "starter over" so I probably turned a little red (those who know me know how a can get flushed in a split second). In a room of about 14k people, I was feeling like they were talking right to me. But then the best example was given...when you begin a hike/climb up a mountain, if you didn't like how fast you went or your progress in the first few hours, would you start over??? Um...NO way!! That seems like a no-brainer. There's no way that you would ...

The Dreaded Plateau!!!!

It's true!! The plateau has been haunting me for 6 weeks!!! YES, I SAID 6 WEEKS!! That scale has not budged and I am DETERMINED to make the change in the foods I eat so that I can break through this wall. I have been hitting my workouts hard and know that it has to be the types of food that I have been eating. I eased up A LOT on the "no soda" rule and haven't been drinking a full gallon of water each day. I have had cheat days instead of cheat meals and WAY too much RANCH!!! A good ranch dressing has got to be my biggest weakness other than sweets. It's like I told my challengers last week: saying "no" is difficult!! It does get easier but it still takes effort and focus on WHY you are doing this!! Today, I am going to match the determination in my diet to the dedication in my workouts!! I have been undoing all of the hard work I have been putting in over the last two month. Today, I have decided to complete the challenge wi...
