I’ve been interested by the emotions that have come to the surface with the pending Reset and moving… I think the video speaks for itself.

So this is my motto going into this and I’ll be trying to remember it every step of the way.

I love my green smoothies, and I LOVE blueberries – so what better than a blueberry shake. There are a couple of options on how you can make this shake, and is it AMAZING!!

Ingredients:
1 Cup Frozen blueberries (I prefer organic since you are eating the whole fruit)
1 Scoop of Tropical Shakeology or you can use my favorite Sprouted Brown Rice Protein by SunWarrior
1 package of Alkalinize** (or 1 tsp of Ormus Greens)
1/4 cup of So Delicious Plain Greek Coconut Yogurt
1/4 cup of Bob’s Steel Cut oats
2 tsp of fine ground flaxseeds
1 cup of ice
(add water as needed)

Blend the blueberries, Shakeology, yogurt and ice to your blender and blend for 1 – 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredient and blend for an additional 1 – 2 minutes. AMAZING!!! You will love it!!

** Alkalinize is a part of the new Beachbody Ultimate Reset Detoxification program. It is a super-green mixture of grasses, including wheatgrass, alfalfa, kamut grass, and barley grass, in a concentrated juice powder that helps neutralize excess acid and maintain alkalinity, bringing your body back into a healthy pH balance and helping to support your immune system. Alkalinize comes in a convenient single daily-dose packet, which can easily be added into your daily smoothie. The Ultimate Reset is a 21 Day program and you can incorporate the Shakeology smoothie into your reset program. After your reset you will be able to continue to use the Alkalinize product every day to keep your body in a healthy ph state, and keep your immune system boosted to block illness and disease.

I know that so many of us struggle with what to eat – and it’s a back and forth game almost most of the time. Beans or no beans. Gluten-free or whole grains – or both. Paleo or Vegetarian? Well I’m glad that you can choose what works for you – and not even the Paleo groups are starting to share how to live Paleo with a vegetarian diet. One of the best starter cookbooks out there is ‘The Vegetarian Paleo Recipe Book which is a great little ebook I found on Amazon.

The reviews say:
“great cookbook. Tasty, unusual, creative and easy“
- Grace Darby

“I’ve downloaded quite a few cookbooks lately and this probably the best one I’ve found for my situation“
- JustAskJulie

“perfect answer to no gluten recipes“
- Kristie

“wonderful vegetarian recipes good for us all“
- Marg Rutan

“good food even if you’re not a vegetarian“
- Sandy Bose

The Vegetarian Paleo Recipe Cookbook features 47 simple and tasty meals free from gluten, grains, dairy, soy and refined sugar starting with breakfast to lunch, dinner and dessert  all are very important to me and being clean and free of soy is also very important to me.

Another great start would be to take the Whole30 Program from the Whole9 Group.

Here are a few Paleo vegetarian meal ideas to get you started on your Paleo journey that I found somewhere when I was looking for vegetarian options.

Wilted spinach surprise – Place a tablespoon of natural oil in a skillet. Sautee a 1/4 cup of sweet onions and sweet red peppers. Add ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, ½ cup of chopped apples. Heat for three minutes. Add a large amount of fresh spinach leaves with a small amount of natural oil. Inlcude any spices you desire. Allow the heat and the steam to wilt the spinach down. Stir and serve very hot.

Lettuce wrap fajitas – Cook a wide variety of peppers and onions in a skillet with a small amount of oil. You can have green peppers, red peppers, jalapenos, yellow, and orange peppers. Add garlic, cumin and chili powder for more flavor. When peppers are to your liking (shorter amount of time peppers will be crisper, longer amount of time they will be sweeter and soft), place a spoonful of peppers in your favorite lettuce leaves, roll up and enjoy!

I love being a nutritional leader. And as such I feel like you need to know about anything new on the market – that may or may not be in something you are thinking about drinking or eating. I told you all about Fibersol syrup and Fibersol-2 (just corn people … but a new brand of it) Now let me teach you a new ingredient: They say it’s more affordable… but do you know what’s in it? “SolaGrain”. Do you want to know what that is? It’s mostly a filler, and full of corn and soy. SolaGrain is:
Soya protein extract (soy)
Soya protein extract (soy)
Oat fiber
Soya fiber (soy)
Psyllium
Maltodextrin (corn)
Linseed fiber
Beet fiber
Linseed protein
Cellulose
Thickening agent: guar
Emulsifier: Lecithin (soy)

I saw this as a main ingredient in a new protein shake called ProFit by ItWorks. That same drink also contained Sustain-It… again more soy. Do you realize that soy is in everything these days, and it’s changing your body because it’s like estrogen. And the plastics in your environment are like estrogen. Do you really want to save a couple dollars by buying a cheaper product and raise your cancer risk? And soy is very bad for men. Men’s Health says ” The unassuming soybean has silently infiltrated the American diet as what might just be the perfect protein source: It’s cheap and vegetarian, and could even unclog our hearts. But there may be a hidden dark side to soy, one that has the power to undermine everything it means to be male/ Read more at Men’s Health: http://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/soys-negative-effects#ixzz1qKozNLds

I love the ItWorks wraps, but I think that you can’t compare broccoli to oranges. One of these shakes has much more dense super nutrition than the other. The proof is in the ingredients and the fact that even Discovery and Oprah have talked about the amazing superfoods and the extent that Beachbody goes to to get these ingredients for you – well again you can’t compare them. Shakeology is just a better product, and better for you. Make sure you keep these things in mind when shopping. Don’t let yourself buy something that is the pink slime of the protein shake world. My daughter drinks Shakeology (1/2 a scoop) every morning. I HAVE to be okay with what she is putting into her little body. It’s a healthful choice for me, not a monetary one. Drink Shakeology – Health Simplified!

So when you see someone posted the ad below… remember the real comparison and what it means for your health. Be educated.

Read the ingredient lists on any product that you will eat or even just put on your body. Where do the sugars and carbs come from? Are they mostly from a natural fruits? DO you care if you have no sugars, but also get none of the super antioxidant protection for your body at a celular level? One of the reasons I loved the ItWorks wraps was the quality of ingredients. Just like with Beachbody I don’t love every supplement they put out – and I won’t promote every product of theirs because of it. Read, think, buy only the best products for your body. YOU are the key and YOU are what matters. Take care of YOU will you?

I bet that you, or someone that you know has a body under toxic stress. There are three things you can do. Reduce the exposure you have to toxins like foods, cleaners, the environment.

Second, manage your stress with healthy choices and exercise. Do you feel like pulling your hair out? Once you workout you will find that your reactions and your stress are going to be completely different from what you felt like before.

Third, eat a healthy organic nutrients. You need healthy food choices, lots of great plant based organics and lots of water to help flush out these toxins we are talking about.

Green smoothies do make a difference!! I make my own, as well as drink Shakeology – but sometimes I cannot do that. When I am not at my Vitamix… I am not mixing the greens.

Prograde Genesis is by far the easiest and best tasting greens supplement on the market. It’s easy to mix, even easier to drink and tastes great!! (click here to see ingredients)

Each Beachbody program comes with a nutritional guide, but I think the P90X2 Nutritional Guide is so much more – and especially for anyone that is trying to eat grain-free or vegan. It can be hard! Eat like an athlete to achieve your goals. The P90X2 Nutrition Guide is all new, easily customizable, and geared for athletic performance. Flexible daily menus let you pick the balance of foods that works for YOUR body. This amazing tool for your healthy life change includes:

• Provides nutritional guidance specifically designed for high-level athletic performance
• Choose from 3 customized plans: Fat Shredder 2.0, Energy Booster 2.0, and Endurance Maximizer 2.0
• Includes more than 50 recipes to get you started
• Includes vegan and grain-free options

For every low-quality choice we eliminated from the portion lists, we added two healthy and delicious choices. You’ll find new fats, snacks, proteins, and more.

The three calorie “levels”—1,800, 2,400, and 3,000—are still there, as are the different macronutrient balances. However, given that the latest research is making the importance of dietary fat increasingly obvious, we upped the fat in all three “phases.” We’ve also redubbed them “plans,” because while we encouraged you to work your way up the three phases with P90X, by now you should have a pretty good idea what works best for you when it comes to performance, shedding fat, or both. In P90X2, you can just pick the one that works for you and run with it, changing plans whenever you feel like it.

I recommend this guide even if you are not doing P90X2. Everyone loves a good recipe, so we reached out to some of our favorite chefs, including Tony’s personal chef Melissa, of Karma Chow, has added her own amazing recipes to the mix,, and all of these amazing chef’s have designed a host of meals for every occasion. In this new guide, you’ll find scores of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, soups, salads, and Shakeology recipes. There are plenty of recipes to suit all dietary approaches.

Today I had an amazing quinoa and veggie recipe for lunch, and if you are looking for a change, look no further. Order the P90X2 Nutritional Guide.
