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, ...

21 Day Fix Approved French Toast Pancakes

This week begins tax school. Which means twice a week, I will be teaching a bilingual tax course to prepare for next tax season. I really enjoy it, but it can be tricky trying to eat healthy during this time. I remember last year Taco Bell and Hardee's were my "go-to" dinner choices. Fast forward to this year and I'll be having my shakeology for dinner each evening that I teach. It's easy, quick and keeps me full throughout the class. So because of this, I am not having my usual shakeology for breakfast. This morning, I wanted something other than eggs so I looked for a fix approved pancake. Now I've made the low carb pancakes that are only made with banana and egg and they were YUCK! (Just being honest) I was hestitant with these but I hand everything at the house already so there was nothing to loose if they didn't taste good. They have the consistency of French toast with the look and feel of pancakes. I was full until lunch time. Getting 2 reds in ...

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 ...
