A gluten free pizza crust recipe that rocks!

glutenfreepizzacrust

Pizza is back in my nutrition plan! A lot of times it’s tough to find a healthy and tasty alternative our favorite comfort foods. Pizza is no exception. While I love making mini pizzas with Flatout breads, along comes a pizza crust recipe that is low calorie, tastes awesome and happens to be gluten free! BBQ pizza is back in one of the top food tiers in Michi’s Ladder in my house!

See full, printable recipe on Food.com at the link below. All of these ingredients typically can be found in the natural food aisle at your grocery store. I actually think finding them is easier than pronouncing them. I bought most of the items at netrition.com.

Shakeology Sample for Free

Shakeology

When I started my very first Beachbody workout program (Power 90) in 2003, one thing I struggled with was eating right. Honing in on what foods worked for me and against me was a challenge. Even in my first round of P90X, I struggled. It wasn’t until round 2 that I started focusing in on eating right. Food does matter. Especially when you are wanting to get lean and ripped.

When Shakeology was released in March of 2008, I was one of the first to use the product. It has been a godsend for me. I am not the biggest fan of vegetables and if I can have a meal replacement that like a chocolate or berry flavored delight, then I’m all in! Shakeology was the first supplement I ever had where I just felt better, had more energy and felt alive!

The thing that impressed me most were the results my parents got after they started with one shake a day. My father finally got his blood sugar levels into the normal range as he has Type II Diabetes. He also lost 27 pounds!

My mother is a breast cancer survivor and also has an issue with swallowing pills. When she showed her oncologist the ingredients in Shakeology, her doctor took her off of 8 supplements and told her that the shake has what she needed in there, so it wasn’t necessary to swallow horse pills. She even lost 14 pounds by combining it with Turbo Jam at the age of 67!

My wife tells me that Shakeology fills that sweet tooth craving of hers, and I agree, it does! She also loves doing a cleanse on occasion using Shakeology to get her back on track.

I know we are just a few success stories here in the family, but we have many other Shakeology success stories coming to us from the people that we coach, all because we tried something, realized the value in it, and recommended it to the people we care about.

You might be sitting there thinking, “will it work for me?” or “what if I don’t like it?” So, I want to help you out. I will send you a FREE Shakeology sample, but only on 3 conditions!

Chocolate Shakeology Ice Cream Recipe – Reese’s PB Cup

Shakeology Ice Cream Reeses PB Cup

Shakeology Ice Cream Reeses PB Cup

In the middle of summer you may want ice cream. My wife, Hillary did! She asked me to make some Shakeology Ice Cream since I make my shakes so think anyway. So, I’m posting up a recipe with the healthiest meal of the day made like ice cream style! With a Reese’s Peanut Butter  twist!
It’s a great treat to have something delicious and super healthy for you! Here’s the recipe. Just make sure you are using healthy ingredients to make it the healthiest meal of the day (or at least the healthiest snack of the day).

Chocolate Shakeology Ice Cream Recipe – Reese’s Style (The Perfect dessert any time!!)
Shakeology Ice Cream:

  • 1 to 1.5 cups of almond milk or fat free milk. Water works too.
  • 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
  • 1 Tbsp. Peanut butter or PB2
  • 6 ice cubes or 1 cup (or whatever thickness you desire)!

 

Preparation:
Put all ingredients into blender or use a food processor with an s blade. Blend on low for 15 seconds. Then blend on high for 30 seconds. Finish blending on low for 15 seconds. Eat immediately or put in freezer for about 2 hours. Add more ice if you need it thicker.

Enhance it: Use PB2 to back some small peanut butter chunks and freeze them separately. Then fold into the ice cream after it is all blended. I also lightly dusted the top of the ice cream with a little PB2. Kind of like adding extras like they do at Cold Stone Creamery!

IDEA: Use Popsicle holders (buy at Target, Amazon, etc). Kind of like a  Resses fudgesicle!

The Healthiest Meal of the Day
You Gotta Get this Stuff!

No other shake contains the world’s most powerful superfoods.

Shakeology is an ultra-premium nutritional shake. To create it, Beachbody searched the world for the most potent ingredients your body can easily absorb and utilize. This perfect combination of enzymes, prebiotics, antioxidants, and many rare ingredients—like adaptogens, Camu-Camu, and sacha inchi— give you the essential nutrients you can’t get from an average diet. Even eating the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables every day won’t give you this much nutrition.

No other shake, meal, or vitamin can make a claim this substantial.

Shakeology may help you:

  1. Lose Weight
  2. Feel Energized
  3. Improve Digestion and Regularity
  4. Lower Cholesterol (results may vary)

Tastes delicious, too!

How It Works*

This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Buffalo/Bison Burgers and Turkey Burgers Recipe

Bison Turkey Burgers

Bison Turkey Burgers

I love a good grilled burger. So, I’m always looking for options that are great tasting and good for the waistline, especially when fueling the body for P90X, Insanity and Insanity Asylum!

In recent years I have been using ground buffalo/bison and ground turkey in various recipes. A few years back I discovered a burger recipe on AllRecipes.com that I tried out of curiosity. What I discovered was something versatile that I could tweak and use with meats like ground buffalo/bison and ground turkey instead of beef. Whenever I grill these patties up, the response in this house is usually, “Why can’t we have these every night?” We love these burgers and rarely are there leftovers. The flavor just pops. I’m sure there are ways to enhance them even further with perhaps onions, peppers, or even tart apples. But to tell you the truth, the first time I tried this recipe, I was hooked just the way they were! I like the nutritional values too!

Nutrition values for ground buffalo/bison, turkey, beef (serving = 100 grams / 3.5 oz-cooked)

Buffalo/Turkey Burger Recipe … This is a tweaked recipe of Chris’ Bay Area Burgers from AllRecipes. What I love about the recipe is that it doesn’t require chopping up any ingredients so putting them together is really fast!

  • 1 pound ground buffalo/bison or turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves

Grill ‘em up! Tasty! I don’t typically have a bun, but you can use one of those whole grain 100 calorie sandwich thins (thin buns).

Power Blast Podcast – Episode 176: Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Shakeology

My Grandma used to make the best homemade peach cobbler! Since my mom and dad just brought me a boatload of Georgia peaches, I thought I’d make my own peach cobbler with Greenberry Shakeology!

Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Shakeology Recipe using Greenberry Shakeology

I know this can be tweaked to perfection!
I added Peach chunks at the end for some texture

Grandma’s Peach Cobbler (Shake Off 2011 Finalist Recipe!)

  • 1 scoop Greenberry Shakeology
  • 2 large ripe sweet peaches (frozen if possible!)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Eye Dropper of Vanilla Creme Stevia
  • 1/2 tsp of Mexican Vanilla (you can experiment with Vanilla Extract)
  • 1/2 cup Almond Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • ice to preference

Blend to perfection.

I added another 1\/2 peach that I diced up into chunks and ate my Peach Cobbler Shakeology with a spoon! Awesome!

I bet adding in some unsweetened peach juice (or even coconut water) would work instead of regular water.

Enjoy!
