Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Smoothie

It’s time to throw the term cheat day out the window… because what you eat isn’t a moral reflection on who you are as a person 🙌  Cheat is a loaded word that implies that you should feel guilty for what you’re eating.

Eating a carrot doesn’t make you a better human than someone eating a chocolate bar, so I really do want to challenge you to eliminate the word CHEAT from your vocab when it comes to food… and treat yourself instead.

Having a healthy relationship with food means enjoying things you love + fitting them into this incredible lifestyle you’re creating for yourself. Ok? Ok.

Now, who doesn’t love a dark chocolate + sea salt combo 😍 Throw in some superfoods and this is an amazing way to start your day.

Chocolate Mousse

“Calories don’t do something to me. They are the energy to do something for me.”

How crazy is it that diet culture has us fearing calories, when in reality, calories are the energy we need to live this wild, amazing, beautiful life?! Calories are what help you focus at work, carry your body through a yoga flow, take care of your kids, have a conversation with your best friend, push hard through a workout. 

So, as you sit down to eat (maybe this Chocolate Mousse 😍)... thank the calories you’re putting into your body for everything they support you in doing!

Ingredients

- 4 oz soft tofu

- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

- 1 tbsp all-natural nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew)

- 1 medium strawberry, sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Place the tofu, Shakeology, almond milk, and nut butter in a food processor or blender - pulse until smooth.

2. Place mousse in a medium serving bowl; garnish with strawberry if you want! Other fun toppings could be shredded coconut, other sliced fruits, or even cacao nibs.

Chocolate + Caramel + Peanut Butter No-Bake Superfood Cookie

You are not on a diet… and so, it’s time to say peace out to that diet culture mentality ✌️ 

When foods are completely off-limits, you actually give up control over your food choices… and you become more likely to overeat whatever your favorite “cheat food” is when you’ve been severely restricting what you are “allowed” to eat.

This is absolutely a practice that takes time, but if you can tune into your body and what it needs, you are able to eat intuitively and enjoy the foods you love, while still getting the results you want in your health journey. 

Today’s delicious recipe is an incredible Chocolate + Caramel + Peanut Butter No-Bake Superfood Cookie that is sure to be a new family favorite once you whip up a batch!

Ingredients

- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter

- 1 tsp pure caramel extract

- 1 cup dry quick-cooking rolled oats

- ½ cup honey

- 1 cup Chocolate Whey Shakeology

- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Combine peanut butter, extract, oats, honey, and Shakeology in a medium bowl and mix with a spatula or clean hands.

2. Roll mixture into 24 balls (about 1 inch in size). Flatten each slightly so that it is shaped like a traditional cookie. 

3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. 

You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
