Almond Milk Chai Latte

As the weather cools down, I love to add in more warm drinks, especially in the morning - this almond milk chai latte is a great source of antioxidants and a fun way to switch things up instead of your standard morning coffee!

This recipe makes 2 servings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other milk alternative)

  • 2 black tea bags

  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp ground ginger

  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves

  • 4-8 tsp honey (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat up the almond milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat, until it begins to bubble over the edges of the pan.

  2. Turn off the heat and add tea bags to the pot of hot milk. Wait 3-5 minutes for the tea to steep; then, remove the bags.

  3. Add in cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and honey. Turn the heat to medium; whisk to combine, stirring regularly, until the mixture is hot.

  4. Adjust any seasoning to your taste and serve immediately.

How to make Spring Rolls

I love spring rolls and I make them every week, if not twice! They are a super fast lunch and then I can use the leftover protein, typically sashimi, for dinner as a poki bowl, hand rolls, or make sushi with it. I love simple recipes that taste delicious and this fits the bill, plus it’s super healthy! Watch and learn and use whatever vegetables you have on hand + your favorite protein. These rice papers can be purchased at any asian market or some large grocery stores carry them too.

Day 2: Booty Day

Booty day! My favorite day…and a body part that can use some focused attention :) 

This workout is just a little under 60 minutes and uses our Beachbody loops, a mat, and a chair for balance if you're modifying. We do a lot of this on the floor, but don't be fooled, we are NOT RESTING!  We are going to feel the burn in the best possible way and be earning some major booty gains!  Watch this video if you need a reminder of what equipment is required throughout the program.  If you want a second set, add it to your Shakeology order so you only pay $20 extra instead of $60 when you buy it separately!  I'm all about saving money where I can!
