Chocolate Shakeology Peanut Butter Lollipops
You know what the holiday season does to me… I get bored and have to create. Lucky for you it’s almost always something with chocolate! And if you were looking for a yummy treat to share with your kids (or yourself for Valentine’s since it’s just around the corner) then how about a lollipop that is full of antioxidants, super dense whole food nutrition and probiotics??
Ingredients:
1½ cups peanut butter (hemp nut butter, cashew butter or almond butter)
2 cups Chocolate Shakeology
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter, divided in half
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place in the freezer.
2. Mix peanut butter, ½ cup butter, Shakeology, and vanilla. Remove frozen sheet. With hands form nickel-sized balls. Mixture will be stiff. Place balls on sheet and spear with a lollipop stick.
3. Once sheet is full place sheet back into the freezer and allow balls freeze while slowly melting together chocolate and ½ cup butter in a double boiler.
4. Remove balls from freezer and coat in chocolate as desired (you can do a full, ½ or ¾ dip) and replace onto waxed cookie sheet.
5. Freeze or refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer to allow chocolate to firm.
6. For storage, keep refrigerated.
Order your Shakeology today, and find out why it’s such an amazing part of my life. With the bottom of the bag guarantee you don’t have to worry about giving it a try. If you don’t love it as much as I do, return the bag for a full refund.

Recipe Revamp Spicy Burgers to Spicy Rice Burgers
I wanted to share one of my favorite Team Beachbody recipes, but it’s changed up because I don’t do nuts. It’s part of their Power Vegetarian meal plan, and I have been changing out for vegan options. Going without has been good for my sinus issues this season – but I am sure in the fall I’ll add back in pastured eggs and cheeses. I love that for very little money I have all of my meal plans easily just put right there for me. It’s less that one visit to the gas station for a soda and candy bar. Less even than my tea latte was. I can’t imagine not having all of the tools – especially my meal planner – available for just $2.99 per week by having club membership. And I get to exchange recipes with other club members in the forum. I just love all of the features I get from having my Team Beachbody Membership.
Spicy Rice Burgers
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
2 tablespoons mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup rice, brown, cooked
1 tablespoon organic quinoa flakes* (or your own plain breadcrumbs)
2 teaspoons hemp nuts (or sometimes I use dried mulberries. They used walnuts but I don’t do nuts)
1 1/2 tablespoons applesauce (or your liquid-egg substitute)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground
1 roll, kaiser
1 lettuce leaf
1 slice tomato
Instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan. Sauté the onions and mushrooms. When tender remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
2. Stir in the rice, quinoa flakes, hemp nuts, applesauce, pepper and ceyenne pepper.
3. From into a patty and grill or place under heated broiler for approx 5-6 minutes.
4. Place burger on roll and serve with lettuce and tomato.
5. Serve sandwich with your favorite calorie-free beverage.
* Quinoa, pronounced KEEN-wha, was once the sacred staple of the Incas. The Incas called Quinoa the Mother Grain. It can be substituted for rice, wheat, corn and barley in recipes. It is the highest in protein of all the grains. Contains 10 essential amino acids, low in sodium, high in calcium iron. Quinoa is a wonder food for building strength and endurance.
Organic Quinoa Flakes are smooth and delicious alone or topped with your favorite sweetener, cinnamon or fruit. For a delicious change, cook in apple Juice instead of water and let it simmer a little longer. Due to the relatively high oil and fat content of Quinoa, the flakes should be stored in glass jars in the refrigerator. Keeping cool and dry will extend the shelf life.
Reasons to enjoy the benefits of Quinoa Flakes are:
Quinoa is a Rich and Balanced Source of Vital Nutrients
Quinoa is a Good Source of Fiber
Quinoa is an Alkaline Food
Quinoa is 35 on the Glycemic Index
Quinoa is a Vegetarian Solution
Quinoa is a Senior Solution
Quinoa is a Diabetic Solution
Quinoa is versatile – replaces any flakes in a recipe
Excellent source of nutrition for children
Quinoa is Light and Tasty and Easy to Digest ( an added bonus for children and restricted diets ).
To Cook: Stir 2/3 cup of flakes into 2 cups of boiling water or milk. Turn off the heat and let stand for about 3 minutes. If you desire thicker Quinoa cereal then cook several minutes longer.
Suggestions:
1. Add raisins or diced dried fruits to the flakes as they are cooking (about the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time).
2. For an unusual twist, add cinnamon and chopped nuts.
3. Substitute up to 1/2 cup flakes for flour in quick breads.
4. Replace up to half of the flour in pancakes with flakes.
5. Use flakes instead of bread crumbs in casseroles or as toppings.
6. Use for a delightful topping for pies and fruit crisps.
7. Use in making delicious granola’s.
8. Use in grain burgers, add to hamburgers or meat loaf.
9. Use in muffins and cookie recipes

Recipe Revamp – Chocolate French Silk Pie
I asked my facebook group what recipes they’d like to see revamped to be healthier, and the overwhelming first response was for this dessert, French Silk Pie. I’ve seen it made a lot with tofu, but I’m allergic to soy, as are so many others – so I just couldn’t share a soy-ed up item. So this is my recipe for all of the moms.
Ingredients:
16 oz organic unsweetened applesauce
1 cup Dr. Grandma’s Zero Calorie Sweetener or your sweetener of choice. (You can use real sugar if you want, I just didn’t)
2 cups of pure organic pumpkin or 4 bananas (you choice. I can’t do bananas but they do seem to have a better ability to be whatever flavor you want them to be.)
3 tbsp sugar-free dutch chocolate (optional)
1 tsp pure gluten-free vanilla
Mix is all up – and do not take any prisoners. You can pour it into the pie crust of your choosing. I like to keep with the allergy friendly version to do a nice gluten-free crust made out of gluten-free chocolate flavored brown-rice cereal or gluten-free plain (your choice).
2 1/2 cups Organic Brown Rice Crispies (Gluten Free) or you could use the Millet Puffs as well
1/3 cup Spectrum Palm Shortening
1 cup of Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional – you could just mix up if you don’t want to have any sugar in this)
1. Melt the shortening and chocolate in the top of a double boiler just enough to stir in the rice ceral. Pour into a 9 inch pie pan and press to form an even crust. Chll in fridge while you make the filling.
2. Fill crust with your french silk filling and chill for 12 hours.
I hope this cures the cravings. Mmm mmm good!
