Creamy Garlic Dressing

I LOVE creamy dressings.....don't even get me started on my love of sauces in general.  Well this little beauty that comes from the 21 day detox has such a buzz with my fellow coaches I had to give it a go!  Let me tell you - it didn't disappoint.....super creamy, garlicy and so satisfying!  The kids loved it!!!!  This stuff will now be a STAPLE in our house!  Your salads will NEVER be the same! ***Warning....it is amazingly garlicly....a little goes a long way!  Drizzle over top of your salad as opposed to dumping.  ;)

Creamy Garlic Dressing
(makes 10 servings, about 2 tbsp each)

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp himalayan salt
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup

Place oil, vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, mustard, and honey in a blender or processor; cover with lid. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate dressing if not using immediately. If dressing solidifies when cold, hold at room temperature for 15-30 min before serving.

Three Day Refresh Round 2

Well, any skepticism I had the first time around is now GONE!  My results the second time are just as good as my first!  Five pounds in three days!!!!  And I wasn't hungry, I had energy the entire time, no headaches (I was worried because I couldn't drink coffee....and I LOVE my coffee in the morning).

I really needed to get back on track after our trip last month.  I couldn't stop eating!!!!!  And I was in a downward spiral of eating JUNK.  Does that happen to you????  We are all human and indulgences happen.....but the question is, How LONG will you keep going?  I really didn't want to go into the holiday season with an extra 9 pounds.....because then I will have an even BIGGER hurdle to climb in January.  This was what I needed!  Since my refresh I have been making better food choices, sticking with my PiYo workouts and my pants are FITTING!!!!!!

¾ cup water
1 cup diced watermelon
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. grated raw ginger root
1 scoop Tropical Strawberry Shakeology
1 cup ice cubes

Place water, watermelon, lemon juice, ginger, Shakeology, and ice in blender canister. Cover; blend until smooth.

Three Day Refresh

We have had the BEST summer....so many great days getting together with friends. We have been to birthday parties, BBQ's, holidays.  And WOW, did all of that fun CATCH UP to me!!!!!!

I have managed to put on about 10 pounds this summer because of all  that fun!  I knew my clothes were fitting tighter that normal, but really??????  TEN POUNDS!!!!?????  And I had worked so HARD to lose them!!!!

I needed to get back ON TRACK ASAP....no time for lollygagging.  I decided to give the new Three Day Refresh a whirl.  I had done a three day Shakeology cleanse back in January and it really helped me RESET my habits after the holidays.  I was able to get my nutrition and PORTIONS in check. Surely the Refresh would do the same....right?

The REFRESH is easy. It lasts for three days and you start each day with a serving of Shakeology and fruit.  Mid-morning you enjoy a fiber drink and lunch is a special vanilla shake developed for the Refresh, along with a serving of fruit and veggies.  You get a mid-afternoon veggie snack and dinner is another vanilla shake, veggie broth and a veggie-based dinner recipe. And water....you have to stay hydrated!

I cannot BELIEVE the success I had in just THREE DAYS!!!!  Five pounds lost!!!!  No bloat and I feel FANTASTIC!  I wasn't hungry and or tired during those three days because the program has plenty of protein and fiber.  I can tell you that I will be REFRESHING regularly...at least once a quarter.  This is exactly what I needed to get my nutrition back on track.

Are you curious about the refresh and how you can use it to help you get back on track?  Message me for details!
