Vegan 21 day fix, no problem!

The RED CONTAINER!!!   How do I fill it?  Here are some excellent ways to get protein when you are vegan and doing the 21 day fix.

Besides the other protein choices that you are used to having like: yogurt, tofu, tempeh,veggie burgers, and fish if you allow that.

21day FIX - Stuffed peppers

STUFFED PEPPERS!!!  21 day FIX APPROVED!!!

First, I recommend cutting the bottom of the peppers, so that they stand up straight and you don't have to fight with them falling over.  

**Little trick, put the bottom back in the pepper!!**

So they look like this:

Next measure out all of your ingredients.  1/2 green of diced peppers, tomatoes, onions.  1 red of ground turkey, 1 yellow of quinoa, and 1 tsp of Southwestern Seasoning Mix from the Eating Plan Book.  (you can use any of the approved seasonings from the book - I like the mexican kick)

Then mix all of the containers together.

Then, spoon into the prepared peppers, and use the left over to serve on the side.  I doubled the measurements from above to make all of this.   So each pepper with a few tablespoons of the extra on the side is approximately 1 red, 1 1/2 green (counting the actual pepper its in) and 1 yellow.  

Cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

I will be eating the large pepper with some of the extra on the side.  

And, my husband will be eating the other two of them.

If you have a blue left for the day, you can always use that to mix in some cheese!

I CAN NOT WAIT!!!

Shakeology NO BAKE cookies!

I CAN NOT WAIT TO TRY THESE!!! And paired with WINE and 21day FIX approved!  Amazing!

RECIPE:

Ingredients:

1 Cup Natural Peanut Butter (I used low-sodium, creamy)

1 Cup Raw Honey

1 Cup Chocolate Shakeology (If you don’t want them to be super chocolatey you could do 1/2 chocolate & 1/2 vanilla or even try all vanilla)

1/2 Quick Oats

Directions:

Mix peanut butter, honey, Shakeology, & quick oats in a bowl until combined. Roll batter into aprox 1 inch balls and flatten between palms into cookie shape, leaving cookies aprox. a cm thick. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving (I left them in the fridge over-night.)

21 Day Fix Container Count: 

1 cookie = 1 yellow container treat (that’s how I count them, but some count 2 cookies as 1 yellow – I like to be on the conservative side though)

4oz wine = 1 yellow container treat

Now the wine-pairing part. If you use all chocolate Shakeology they have a very rich chocolate flavor with which I’d recommend pairing a Port, Sherry or Madeira. (For our wine club I grabbed a chilled, sweet raspberry/Merlot mix due to price constraints and it wasn’t great!) If you go with vanilla/chocolate mixed or all vanilla you could go lighter – maybe even a Sparkling Moscato with an all vanilla Shakeology cookie! Enjoy!

His and hers Sunday morning breakfast!

21 day fix approved his and her Sunday morning breakfast!

Keeping it simple on this Sunday morning. Egg whites with spinach for me and scrambled eggs with spinach for my husband. Both served with a side of sweet potato. Simple and effective and 21 day fix approved.

The ULTIMATE DVD Package - Extra dvds with the 21 day fix

I get a lot of challengers that ask what the ULTIMATE package is and what the extra workouts are that they refer to in the workout guide.  And I've had these 2 workouts but have never done them until today!!!  And, wow!!  They are both fantastic!  So, if you are interested in upgrading your 21day FIX to get these additional workouts, go for it!  It's called: The 21 Day Fix Ultimate DVD Package

Item #: 21DayFixUltDVD

Boost your 21 Day Fix results and get even more variety with two simple workouts that’ll help you blast off the fat as you target, tone, and firm your trouble spots.

Get ultimate toning and strengthening results with these super-efficient workouts:

1.  Flat Abs Fix
Burn off the fat and get tight, flat abs with this 30-minute workout that tones your core and helps you lose the muffin top.

2.  Barre Legs
Tone your lower body fast with this 30-minute workout designed to sculpt and define your hips, thighs, and glutes.

What I like about the Barre legs is that you DON'T NEED ANY EQUIPMENT.  So it's fantastic for travel.  And, it seems like it targets different areas of your legs that the LOWER FIX may not reach.

Diamond Rank in just 20 weeks!

My AWESOME coach, Maren Crowley, created this for me yesterday, on the official day that I increased my Beachbody ranking to DIAMOND!  I"m still in disbelief that I was able to get to Diamon in just 20 weeks.  That's 4 and a half months.  And, I've recently learned that only 2% of active Beachbody coaches actually make it to Diamond.  I am humbled by all of this.  I have no words...........thank you Maren for shining the spotlight on my achievement. 

I don't think there are enough words to describe how proud I am of my friend, Lori Lowenthal Miggins. This woman started out as a challenger, became a discount coach, and has helped me grow an incredible team and business. I can't imagine getting through some tough times if it weren't for her constant support, encouragement, and positivity. To say that she has exceeded my expectations would be the understatement of the year. Lori is a complete rockstar who takes her passion for health and fitness to the NEXT level. Many people say they "don't have time" to get fit let alone run a business. Look at this woman and you will see that you CAN do it too! Lori is a mom of 3, a devoted wife, loving daughter, caring sister, plus a wonderful friend.

Holiday top 100 coaches!

I'm in utter disbelief at this. I just started as a coach in the middle of September and I cannot believe that I earned this for being one of the top 100 performing coaches out of over 300,000 coaches in the company in December! 

Baked Sweet Potato Chips - can't wait to make these beauties!

My current challengers are raving about these!  So, I am going to try them next.  Stay tuned for a report.  Hope the kids love them!

Baked Sweet Potato Chips

2 sweet potatoes, sliced thinly
1-2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Chipotle Lime Dip

1/3 C. Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. sweet chipotle chili powder
1 Tbsp. honey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice sweet potatoes with a mandolin slicer, or as thinly as possible using a super-sharp knife. The thinner the slices are, the crispier they will be. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat lightly on both sides. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Lay chips down on a baking sheet that has been covered in parchment paper. Bake 20-25 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through. Serve with Chipotle Lime Dip.

You are the only one that will make it happen!

21 day FIX Extreme is coming!

TEST GROUP - Challenge COMING SOON!  Message me to be one of the first!

What is the 21 Day Fix Extreme?

A year ago almost to the day Team Beachbody launched the now #1 home fitness program the 21 Day Fix Created by Autumn Calabrese! The 30 minute total body workouts paired with the easy to follow nutrition guide and portion controlled containers created amazing buzz and nothing short of breath taking results!  Seriously for ME personally it was the missing piece of my nutrition and fitness results.  I was eating clean, working out regularly but I was stuck!  8 months post preggo and my body needed something more!  The portion controlled containers paired with a food list categorized by the most nutrient dense and highly recommended foods at the top and the lowest nutritional value foods at the bottom!  I began to see results, my body changed and I am walking proof along with several of my fix graduates that it works!!!!  

So after a few rounds of the 21 Day Fix and after crushing your initial fitness goals Autumn realized that she needed something that can take your fitness to the NEXT level!  So now we are excited to announce the launch of the brand new 21 Day Fix EXTREME!!!  Coming February 2nd to anyone who has a Team Beachbody Coach (if you don't have one, make me your coach please).

The goal with the 21 Day Fix Extreme is to create killer results, more muscle tone, definition, tightened up nutrition plan and advanced moves.  This worked is truly meant to get you shredded.  Autumn actually shares her competition meal plan with you to help you shred those pesky pounds that many of us hold on to.

Who should buy the program?

21 Day Fix EXTREME is ideal for those with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline--such as an upcoming vacation, photo shoot, or other big event. It's an excellent next step for 21 Day Fix graduates ready for a new challenge or graduates of other extreme programs like P90X, Insanity, and FOCUS T25.Fix EXTREME is also great for those who don't have much weight to lose, but want to get shredded and see abs; those with a "no BS" attitude toward workouts and nutrition; or anyone who doesn't want to count calories, weigh  their food, or follow complicated recipes. I would not recommend the 21 Day Fix Extreme for a beginner. This is an advanced program.  Autumn did talk about that when she was in  Tampa for our event last weekend.  So I want to make sure that you know  to do the 21 day fix FIRST before moving to this program! So what are the details? The program is 21 days long! You do one 30-minute workout each day. You do not need a lot of space to do this workout.  A 6-square foot area is all that you need. What type of shoes do you need?  Cross Trainers or aerobic shoes are necessary. Lets talk nutrition plan! While the 21 day fix allowed for wine and chocolate the 21 Day fix extreme does  not.  It is 100% clean eating for these 21 days.  You do have the option to eat out at restaurants but you still have to follow the nutritional guidelines laid out.  Just think about it this way!  You can do anything you put your mind to for 21 days. I can say from previous experience with Insanity Max 30 that when I followed  the nutrition plan to the T I really got amazing results.  I have never had abs  before and they were popping out!  I really do attribute a lot of my progress to  nutrition.  So make sure to take this part extremely serious. You will get the 21 day fix portion controlled containers with your program  purchase!  The workouts include:   Plyo Fix Extreme, Upper Fix Extreme, Lower Fix Extreme, Pilates Fix Extreme, Cardio Fix Extreme, Dirty 30 Fix Extreme and Yoga Fix Extreme. There will be a bonus workout that you get for ordering through a coach plus there is also additional workouts that you can purchase. Power strength extreme and ABC Extreme.

What are the workouts all about??

Plyo Fix Extreme	An explosive lower-body workout that uses jumping and resistance to torch calories and sculpt muscles.
Upper Fix Extreme	By alternating opposing muscle groups, this no-rest upper-body workout will shred the chest, back,  shoulders, and arms.
Pilates Fix Extreme	Using a resistance band for every exercise, this intense mat workout works the entire body, placing  emphasis on the core.

Cardio Fix Extreme	Combining weighted cardio moves with traditional metabolic training intervals keeps the heart rate soaring.
Dirty 30 Extreme	Using only seven compound moves focusing on multiple body parts at a time, this workout will burn extra calories while defining muscles. Get down and dirty, and get it done.
Yoga Fix Extreme	A fast-paced flow yoga class, combining strength, balance, flexibility, and power.
Power Strength Extreme	Based on functional movement patterns, these nine total-body exercises will change the way the  body moves, increasing strength, endurance, and power.
ABC Extreme	A 30-minute workout that targets common problem areas by pushing abs, butt, and cardio to  the extreme.  It'll get that competition body ready for the stage.
	Keep things interesting and burn off calories with this quick resistance workout!

Food Prepping on a Wednesday!

Food prepping on a Wednesday?!?!  Why would I be doing that?  Well, because that’s what happens when my husband has FINALLY joined me on the #21dayfix and this happens to be our favorite, easy to prep ahead, fix-approved breakfast item. 

After one week of the #21dayfix he has already lost over 4 pounds.  Prior to this, he was just drinking #Shakeology for 2 months, everyday, doing nothing different with his daily nutrition and fitness  (his fitness consisted of about 3 days/week if that for an hour at the gym) and he lost 20 pounds!!!!  Yes, 20 pounds from drinking SHAKEOLOGY for 2 months.  So he is now in one of my challenge groups, and doing the #21dayfix program and he is seeing even more results, eating cleaner, feeling better,  has more energy and works out for 30 minutes from home.  No more driving to the gym, wasting an hour there!  This program is not just for girls!

Egg Muffins:
Spray muffin tin with coconut oil.  Mix Egg whites, diced veggies of your desire, and that's it!! 350 degrees for about 20 minutes!

We also LOVE STEEL CUT OATS!  Simple to cook a bunch and then just portion out what you need daily!

Message me for more info.  February Challenge groups are forming now.  Love YOUSELF this FebYOUary!  #teamflawless
