Chia Seeds A.K.A. SUPER-SEEDS

Chia Seeds used to be used in 3500 BC by ancient Mayans and Aztecs.  They used this super-seed to increase stamina and energy for long periods of time. They deliver the maximum amount of nutrients with very little caloric intake.  Unlike flax-seed you can reap the benefits of this seed with out grinding it! This little seed is loaded with fiber, omega 3s, calcium, antioxidants, and protein.

Trying adding this super-seed to your SHAKEOLOGY!   Its fabulous.  For those of you that don't like a chunky texture, don't worry. The seeds are so tiny you barely notice them. However, you WILL notice how much longer you stay full! Plus, these babies do a lot of work behind the scenes.  They add calcium to your diet and they aid in digestion.  They also aid in heart, skin, hair, and nail health too!

Chocolate Shakeology

I am loving the chocolate shakeology with 2tbs of all natural peanut butter, a cup of plain unsweetened almond milk, and some ice. Today,  I added some pure vanilla extract too! I wanted a second shake before I was even finished. Yummy!

Clean Haluski

Starting back on eating clean can definitely be a challenge. Especially when all those comfort foods keep popping into your head. Don't worry! The cool thing about clean eating is that there is almost always a clean substitute for your favorite meals! I was craving Haluski and it's one of my husband's favorite meals. Even my hubby will eat this clean meal.

Directions:

Chop up a small head of cabbage.
Chop up a small head of purple cabbage.
Slice up 1-2 onions
Slice up 1-2carrots (thin strips)
Put all veggies in a frying pan with coconut oil.
Cook until your liking.
Boil brown rice noodles.
Combine brown rice and noodles and veggies.

So for mine, I always make my own combo so I have way more veggies than noodles.  Then my hubby has the rest.

Don't forget to pair with a lean protien.

I just made lightly seasoned chicken breasts to go with my dinner.

You definitely can just stick to regular cabbage and onions if that's what your taste buds prefer. I love getting in the extra veggies so I prefer mine this way.

Definitely a delicious meal!  I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything!

CVX and The Challenge

HOLY COW! P90X3 is awesome!  Did a double yesterday because I was behind.  Yes, I blew it off for two days, and ended up feeling horrible. Yes, it  happens. I just couldn't get moving in this bitter cold weather. I decided I would double up today and tomorrow to catch up. Holy soreness! It will be worth it though! Going to push through today's double despite the fact I can barely lift my arms.  I don't care though! I'm dying to get rid of the flub around my belly from having a baby. P90X3=great workouts in 30 minutes!

Eat Clean Baby Breakfast

Super easy clean baby breakfast.

I always have rolled or steel cut organic oats ground up and saved in an air tight container.

I also always have pureed fruits saved in containers or frozen in cubes.

I just mix 3 tbs of ground oats with water until it's a thin mixture. I added two tsp scoops of whey left over from making organic  Greek yogurt, mix then cook until thick. Then I add a pureed fruit topping. Today we added organic peaches! Viola baby food my little guy loves!

Did you know adding nut butters and ground flax seed to your Shakeology may reduce your chances of cancer? Worth a shot right! Not to mention it tastes delicious in Shakeology!
