No-Bake Chocolate Shakeology Banana Cream Pie

2-1/2 cups cold fat-free milk
1 pkg.(4-serving size) JELL-O Banana Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Pudding

Pour milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mix & Shakeology. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Spoon pudding mixture into crust. Top with banana slices
Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.

Here's the version of Healthy Fat-Burning Chocolate Shakeology Pudding:
(This recipe will make about 2-3 servings and is a great healthy dessert or late night snack)

Ingredients:

1/2 of a ripe avocado (soft to touch)
Approx 3 tablespoons of almond butter (preferably raw if possible)
Approx 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
2 heaping tablespoons of organic cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1-2 serving of Shakeology (or to your desired sweetness level)

Put the avocado and almond butter into a bowl and mash together with a fork until smooth. Then add all of the other ingredients into the bowl and mix together vigorously until all is mixed and smooth.

If everything went right, the consistency will be similar to pudding... except normal pudding makes you fat with loads of sugar! My healthy pudding recipe will actually HELP you to burn fat, control cravings, and satisfy your body's need for micro-nutrients, protein, healthy fats, and fiber. If the pudding ends up too thick, simply add a bit more almond milk or coconut milk for more moisture. If you want to get a little wild and add some more nutrient-rich additions, feel free to add some chopped pecans, chia seeds, rice bran, or walnuts at the end. Feel free to share this delicious healthy recipe with your friends and family!

Chocolate Peanut butter no-bake cookie balls

8 Tablespoons PB2 (low fat, high protein powdered peanut butter – details below)
3 Tablespoons Natural Peanut butter (w/flax seeds is the best!)
½ Cup Shakeology Protein Powder (Haven’t tried this with another brand of protein powder)
3 Tablespoons Raw Honey
½ Cup Quick Oats

DIRECTIONS:

Mix PB2 with water until it’s a paste like consistency. Mix all ingredients, including the PB2 mixture together in a mixing bowl. It make take some time to blend all of the ingredients together. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in additional protein powder so that it’s a pretty dry/crumbly texture.

Next – Roll mixture into small individual balls (about a ping-pong ball size) and place on a wax sheet. Makes about 12 balls, 1 ounce each. Put in freezer until firm.

NUTRITION: (serving size 1 ball)

Calories: 80
Carbs: 10g
Fat: 2g
Protein: 7g

(now…to be honest..these taste even better when made with 6 tablespoons of PB2 and a 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter, but the calories and fat are higher. If you find my recipe above is too… well….chalky tasting…add the extra peanut butter and do a few more jumping jacks!)

PB2 is AMAZING for baking and protein shakes! 1.5 grams of fat, no additives..they just strip out the fat! When you order be sure to get a case as you’ll be going through it fast!

Kristin’s Shakeology No-Bake Cookie Balls:

Mix together:
2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup Agave nectar (may need to add more when mixing)
1 cup Reduced fat peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 1/2 cup Chocolate Shakeology (this is 4 ½ scoops or servings of Shakeology)
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 cup grated almonds OR 1/2 cup protein powder (suggest vanilla, toffee, or similar flavor)

Once mixed, roll into balls (about 1in.), roll balls in grated almonds (optional), and refrigerate if desired. Makes about 40 cookies.

My Shakeology Story...Overcoming Colitis and C.difficle


Hi everyone, I forgot to include one important thing about my illness.  I was also diagnosed with a C.difficile infection which is what kept me getting sicker and sicker.  C.difficile is a nasty bacteria that can take over your digestive system when the "good" bacteria have been wiped out.  This is why it's not good to take antibiotics very often.  Three back to back rounds of antibiotics wiped everything good out of my system and in came the C.diff which then turned into colitis.  I'm happy to offer encouragement and support if you or anyone you know is experiencing a similar digestive illness, it's no fun!  As an Independent Star-Diamond Team Beachbody Coach, I also offer free support, encouragement and guidance to my customers as they set and strive for their own health and fitness goals.  I'd love to help you too!  Send me a message or connect with me on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/KristinHain.  To order Shakeology and get healthy on the inside, go to www.Shakeology.com/LFCoachKris.  Here's to YOUR health!!!
