Healthy Chocolate Oatmeal

Healthy Eating, Recipes, Shakeology, , ,

Healthy, Chocolate Shakeology OatmealHere’s what I had for lunch today…

Warm, yummy, healthy oatmeal with chocolate vegan Shakeology ……. Yummy!

Ingredients:
– A bowl of oatmeal
– Water
– Chocolate Vegan Shakeology

How to make it:
– Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and pour the water until you get your desired thickness. I like my oatmeal thick, so I only add just enough to make it thick. Just be sure to accommodate the shrinkage… so I add a bit more water than I plan on consuming. Then add the Chocolate Vegan Shakeology to the oatmeal. Add it until your taste buds are satisfied! Since it’s healthy, I don’t measure it. Knowing that it has Shakeology in it guarantees that the nutritional value is great!

Getting Fit Tip: In order to preserve as much nutrients as possible, wait until the oatmeal has cooled down a bit before adding the Shakeology. If you add it too soon, you could be killing off a lot of the vitamins before they even get into you body.

Enjoy!

Coconut Paradise Recipe

Healthy Eating, Shakeology, , , , , ,

Love coconuts? Here’s a tasty Shakeology recipe to try:coconut-paradise

1 cup of skim milk
1 tsp of coconut extract
1 serving of Tropical Vegan Shakeology
1/2 cup of ice

Mix the ingredients in a blender until you have the desired consistency. Pour it into a fancy glass and garnish with a strawberry and shaved coconut flakes.

Getting Fit Tip:
Rather than using skim milk, use coconut milk. It’ll add more coconut flavor to the drink and has less calories! Also, rather than using coconut extract, blend in real coconuts! 🙂
