Blanquita Bites:: Shakeo Smoothie Bowl



A little over a week ago, I had my first ACAI smoothie bowl. It was nothing short of amazing! But at $10 a pop, I knew it wasn't something I was going to be adding to my routine often.

I began researching some of the ingredients and found most in my grocery store and bought a few last weekend. I did not, however, buy the smoothie packets that you would use as the base. Well, Monday, I saw a fellow coach make a smoothie bowl with Shakeology and I thought, "why didn't I think of that?!!" So even though it was cold, I was craving one again and NOW, all the ingredients were available to me. I literally threw it together in about two minutes and that included time to cut the banana. 
You can use this as an inspiration and go wild with infinite amount of options so you don't get bored with it. And while I couldn't blend the smoothie itself this time, I will be trying it blended too and I'll let you know which is better. 

Shakeo Smoothie Bowl:

- 1/2-3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (I had a little vanilla leftover from a recipe I made for Super Bowl, but I would probably use plain next time since that is what I keep stocked in my house)
- 1/2-1 scoop Shakeo (depending on your dietary needs and how big of a portion you'd like)
- 1/2-3/4 cup unsweetened almond/coconut milk (any non-dairy milk will work here)

**Combine these three ingredients and whisk together until smooth. 

This is the fun part- top with whatever you'd like!! 
I topped my with 1/2 banana, frozen pineapple/oranges/strawberries and coconut chia granola. 

And enjoy!!! 

I'd say the cost was cut down to about $5.50 as opposed to $10 AND I made it so that it is 21 Day Fix APPROVED! A double win in my book!!

Smoothie: 1-2 Reds (depending on amounts of Shakeo and Greek yogurt) and 1/2 Yellow (if you were to use sweetened/regular almond milk)

Topping: 2 Purples and 1 Yellow

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...
