Shakeology Mug Cake

Sweet tooth before lunch? Day 3 of clean eating and working out and I'm already fighting my chocolate cravings! 

I was in dire need of something this morning and to keep myself from diving into Brents chocolate cookies, I whipped up this bad boy!  It satisfied the need for something sweet and I didn't kill my healthy eating!

I am very aware that when you heat up Shakeology it does take away some of the nutritional value, but I already had my shake for the day so its ok!  I'm totally cool with it!  

You gotta give this a try!!!


Ingredients


-1/4 tsp baking powder


-1 scoop Shakeology


-1 tbs sweetener of your choice


-dash of salt

-1 egg


-optional mix in: peanut butter, cocoa powder


-2 or 3 tbs water/milk


Directions


-In a mug mix Shakeology, baking powder, salt, 

cocoa, and sweetener.

-Next, mix in an egg and 2-3 tablespoons of 

water/milk.

-Mix until dry ingredients are wet.


-If you’d like to add peanut butter, put one dollop in 

the center and push it down a bit.

-Microwave for 90 sec.


-When it is done the edges will pull from the sides.


-Enjoy!



I hope you love it as much as I do!

Mini Taco Bowls





Easy, Cute and DELICIOUS! While trying to get creative in the kitchen i came up with this yummy lunch! (Or snack) Would be really cute for a party, Of if you are like me and have a super picky child these are fun as you can chop up all the ingredients and let them make their own! 

  STEP 1

Grab a cup and a muffin tin. Cup needs to be larger than the muffin tin spots.
Use the cup to cut out your mini taco base!
I used my handy shakeology shaker cup ;) Worked like a charm!
I used whole wheat tortillas!


STEP 2

Use a food processor (or if you have a blender that works as well)
And blend a can of bean Medley and some salsa
* I wanted a bit of a kick so i used spicy mango salsa that you can get from costco
Blend until it is a paste.





STEP 3
Load your mini taco bases into the muffin tin. 
Add one scoop of the bean/salsa mix into each





STEP 4
This is where you can get creative! 
There is no limit to your toppings. You can add 
tomatoes, green onions, banana peppers...

Because i have a picky eater in the house i just did some green pepper
& cheese! 








STEP5
load on the toppings!




STEP 6

Sprinkle some taco seasoning on top of each!
And bake in the oven at 375 until the the base
is crispy and holds its shape!







STEP 7

Take out of the oven and let cool.
Top with some plain greek yogurt and 
salsa!


ENJOY <3
