SHAKEOLOGY CAFÉ LATTE is here!!!

Imagine how much better you are going to feel inside and out plus our pockets are going to thank us!! bye bye Pricey Frappuccinos.... this one here is going to be loaded with healthy, wholesome, super nutritious goodness from around the world!! I cannot wait to order it. Had the opportunity to try it yesterday with a sample packet that some friends from Beachbody brought me from the office and we made a batch with almond milk and ice and it was delicious... i am a coffee lover so the taste is just perfection for me. i am looking forward to trying it in different ways, experimenting and picking a few favorites... i've been drinking chocolate Shakeology for 5 years. my secret to youth without a doubt! What is Café Latte Shakeology? Everyone's heard of the coffee bean, but how many are aware that the red, fleshy fruit that surrounds it is actually a powerful superfood? Café Latte Shakeology now includes Whole Coffee Fruit, an incredible superfood, and has a rich, aromatic café latte flavor. By using the whole fruit, it lowers its carbon footprint while delivering the delightful refreshment found in a cafe cup of joe. It has all the exotic superfood ingredients necessary to deliver a daily dose of dense nutrition. Shakeology is nutrition simplified. It can help to increase healthy energy, reduce cravings, support weight loss, and improve digestion and regularity.* Cafe Latte is available for purchase beginning January 11th, 2016. Who should drink Shakeology? Anyone who wants to be healthy! Shakeology contains a wealth of exotic superfood ingredients that supply the body with a rich source of proteins, fiber, antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. Beyond the overall benefit of Shakeology's dense nutrition, it's excellent for a variety of different goals. Those with an active lifestyle will find that Shakeology provides essential fuel for exercise and supports muscle building and repair. Shakeology will help anyone looking to lose weight by providing key nutrition, fighting junk food cravings, and helping them stay on track with their eating plan. Shakeology's nutrients and antioxidants can also help anyone interested in supporting their immune system or fighting free radical damage. Does Café Latte contain more caffeine than the other Shakeology flavors? Not at all... The caffeine levels in Café Latte are exactly the same as they are in ALL of our Shakeology flavors. So even though it tastes like coffee, Café Latte contains 75% less caffeine than an 8 oz. cup o’ Joe. How does it taste? It’s incredibly rich, robust, and creamy with hints of Café and notes of Latte. It truly does taste just like a frozen coffee drink you’d get from a coffee shop, but Café Latte Shakeology has dense superfood nutrition as well. What makes Café Latte so special? It’s formulated with whole Coffee Fruit*—a coveted superfood powerhouse that’s native to regions of Mexico and India. Coffee fruit is the red fleshy fruit that surrounds what we know to be the coffee bean! Not only does Café Latte taste great, but the use of the entire plant also minimizes Shakeology’s carbon footprint. *Patented Coffeeberry® Brand products are manufactured under license from VDF FutureCeuticals, Inc. **NOTE: Available in US only.

Cinnamon chips with Fruit salad

Hey we all need a little dessert every now and then right??

Make it 21 Day Fix friendly!!!

Serves 1
1 yellow, 1 purple, 1 tsp (oils), and 2 tsps (coffee section)

Ingredients
1 6inch whole wheat tortilla shell
1/2 small gala apple
1/2 purple container of frozen strawberries (partially thawed)
1 tsp of coconut oil
2 tsps of raw sugar (coffee section, max amount for day)
Cinnamon to taste (Free)

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Put your teaspoon of coconut oil in a small dish and melt it in the microwave (should only take a few seconds).

In a small dish place one of your teaspoons of raw sugar and sprinkle some cinnamon in until you get a nice even mixture of cinnamon to sugar. Place bowl to the side.

Take the tortilla shell and put it on a cutting board. Brush some of the coconut oil onto the tortilla shell until it has a slight coating over the whole shell. Then sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the tortilla shell.
Cut the tortilla into small triangles (chips), and then transfer the chips over to a non-stick baking sheet.
Place in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes.

While the chips are baking take your partially thawed strawberries and blend them and also dice up your apple into small pieces. Put the diced apples and blended strawberries into a small bowl. Sprinkle over your last teaspoon of sugar and mix. Put the bowl to the side

Once the chips are done, let them cool and then enjoy!
