They are FANFREAKINGTASTIC!

Super moist, super healthy and super yummy. My kid loves them! My husband loves them! And I love them! Total hit!

Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Coconut Shake

This shake just made my whole day better. Total comfort food! And it really is. 

You feel like you are splurging. 

 Today has been a ROLLER COASTER of a day. Some people just exude negativity and I put my foot down today. I didn't loose it thankfully, I listened, but I also told them flat out how they made me feel and how I saw their actions. I didn't cherry coat anything this time. I needed to come home and workout hard after that frustration. Feeling so frustrated and agitated made my mind just crave junk food! Why does that happen? Knowing that would make me feel even worse, I made this heavenly thing instead.

This tastes more like a treat and instantly made me happy. How is it that Peanut Butter and chocolate just makes you instantly happy? Whoever thinks Shakeology is a diet food, or not satisfying needs to email me. We need to chat. Hunger pains... GONE! Junk Craving.... GONE! Mood... BETTER!

Todays recipes is my Favorite. My, "If I could only make 1 shake ever again this is the flavor I would choose" type of favorite.

Get the picture? A must have!

• 1 Chocolate Shakeology packet
• 1 HEAPING Tbs of Peanut Butter
• 8 oz of Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
• 1 Tbs of unsweetened coconut flakes.

Pure Delicious Heavenly Food!
