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 ...

Who Controls Your Happiness?

This year has kept its theme of change and it seems that change truly is our only constant thus far in 2016. I am sloooowwwly adjusting to it and feel like I am just rounding a corner to take life by the horns again. It's taken much longer than I ever thought it would and may take more work that originally thought too; but one thing is for sure, God is in all of it. He's showing up more and more in our life this year than in years past and I am so incredibly grateful for that! Today, I want to share with you a hard realization that came last week in the midst of my youngest turning 3 and my husband being out of town. It was a rough start to the week and it seemed as if everything around me was failing. But then a friend said something so simple yet so powerful and it stuck; changing my perspective of where I'm at in my journey and the purpose of my position. I wrote this out while sitting at Chic-Fil-a watching the boys play tag with their friends ...
