-Paint both sides with Barbecue sauce
-Place on stove top in med-high heated skillet sprayed with olive oil
-After side has a nice sear turn over and lower heat to med. 
-Cook until almost done (You can check by checking the middle of a piece. Medium is perfect)

Superfood Single Girl Skinny Cake

First, you MUST start with the right ingredients:  

patience is number one as it will take 30 minutes to make your cake.
2 egg whites
1/2 a VERY ripe large banana (makes about 1/4 cup mashed)
approx 2 Tbsp almond milk
a quick crank of sea salt
1 tsp coconut oil
AND the most important ingredient is one scoop of the chocolate superfood which you have to get through me right HERE. (i recommend ordering it on HD which will cut costs of shipping - a way better deal.)

I generally use this superfood protein powder to make rich velvety super nutrient dense smoothies like these ones, but sometimes a girl just needs a piece of cake.   You know what i'm saying….

Set your oven to 350
Mash the banana in a bowl
Add the egg whites, superfood powder, coconut oil, and almond milk
Whisk together well until you have the consistency of cake batter
Hit it with a crank of sea salt, stir again

Put in one or two oiled rammakins and bake in the oven for 30 minutes

Whalah- moist, rich, decadent, chocolate superfood cake that you can enjoy for breakfast.  This recipe makes one cake or two minis.

Black Bean Chocolate Cake


Ingredients:
Makes a 9″ one layer cake
1- 15 ounce can of unseasoned black beans 5 large eggs 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 6 tablespoons coconut oil (melted) 1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons of Stevia 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preparation:
-Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. 

-Spray a 9″ cake pan with extra virgin olive oil cooking spray, or just grease it with a thin layer of coconut oil. 

-Dust cocoa all over the inside of the pan, tapping to evenly distribute. 

-Drain and rinse beans in a strainer or colander. Shake off excess water. 
-Place beans, 3 of the eggs, vanilla, stevia, and salt into blender. Blend on high until beans are completely liquefied. No lumps!

-Whisk together cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix together honey and coconut oil. 

-Add remaining two eggs, beating for a minute after each addition. 

-Pour bean batter into egg mixture and mix. 

-Finally, stir in cocoa powder, and beat the batter on high for one minute, until smooth. Scrape batter into pan and smooth the top. Grip pan firmly by the edges and rap it on the counter a few times to pop any air bubbles.

-Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done when the top is rounded and firm to the touch. After 10 minutes, turn out cake from pan, and flip over again on to a cooling rack. Let cool until cake reaches room temperature, then cover in plastic wrap.

Cucumber Tomato Summer Salad

I am a huge, huge, H-U-G-E fan of cucumbers! I eat AT LEAST one a day. The Boyfriend will tell you, as much as I eat, I should turn into a cucumber one of these days. LOL!!! Whelp, it's Summer time here in New Jersey and it's been sweltering hot. I don't know about you but when the weather gets like this my body just craves sweet, sweet Summer foods -- and they are all primarily that of the vegetable kind. ;) As I was cleaning out my fridge last night I realized I had a few Jersey tomatoes (love them!) to use up before they went bad. It really drives me bananas when food is wasted. I also knew I wanted my daily dose of cucumber. That's when I remembered about that good old fashioned Cucumber and Tomato salad that my Momma raised me on. So, I started cutting up my cucumbers and tomatoes. The best part? It's a FABULO-SO side dish. This is great for parties or potlucks as well. Healthy, filling, and quick... my kind of side dish. 


  • 2 Cucumbers
  • 2 cups of cherry tomatoes (or other tomatoes)
  • 1/2 onion chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 avocado cubed (optional)

Vinaigrette 

  • 1/4 cup of vinegar
  • 1 tbsp of vegannaise (or lite mayo)
  • cracked pepper to top

Directions:

  1. Ready for this...chop and combine <Rocket science, I know!>
  2. Vinaigrette: Wisk all 3 ingredients together.
  3. Combine and toss. Chill before serving. 
Dinner for 2. Served.
2 reds, 2 greens. 1 tsp.
Easy enough right?! This will be on the menu next week. :D Gotta get it in while cucumbers and tomatoes are in season and in their peak.

It’s Raining NEW STUFF at Team Beachbody

Every year when Beachbody hosts its annual Coach Summit, there are new fitness programs, new products, new apparel, and a whole BUNCH OF NEW STUFF released!  It is super exciting as a Coach and as a challenger.  This is the beauty of Beachbody because you are never bored with the same old stuff.  There is always something to challenge your fitness, keep you inspired, and provide better health.  So what are all these new products and how can you get them? Let's tell you, shall we?





July 20th  CIZE from Shaun T
This program is for absolutely everyone.  Even those who are the most fit!  Even those who can’t dance!
What’s included in the CIZE Base Kit?
cize3
  1. 6 dance courses on 3 DVDs
  2. Eat Up! Guide
  3. Get Started Guide
  4. Weekend Survival Guide
  5. 8 Count Abs Workout
  6. Hold Your Own DVD (Network Exclusive, only from your Coach)
  7. Challenge Packs also include a 30 day supply of Shakeology, which is a must when you are looking for optimal results.
I will be running an exclusive Beta Test Group for this program beginning August 3rd. Fill out the application below if you are interested in joining!


July 21st  Shakeology BOOSTS
As if Shakeology didn’t have enough vitamins, nutrients, and basically everything your body needs to be in its best health, Beachbody wants to give you more.  These 3 types of BOOTS (additional scoops) allow you to create a PERSONAL superfood within your glass.
Shakeology Focused Energy Boost
If you’re looking for an effective pick-me-up without compromising your health, then this Boost is for you. Unlike traditional energy drinks that rely on chemicals, sugar, and large doses of caffeine to create energy spikes, Focused Energy Boost has ginseng and 100 mg of natural caffeine from guarana and green tea.
Not only does this amazing Boost give you energy, it also supports mental clarity, alertness, and focus.* Plus, there are no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives in this Boost—so now you can energize your day the healthy way.
Shakeology Power Greens Boost
Power Greens Boost is a convenient way to get a full serving of nutrient-dense vegetables while supporting your body’s acid/alkaline balance. One tiny scoop is like eating ⅔ cup leafy greens, ⅓ cup cucumber, and ⅓ of a large celery stalk!
Maybe you’re a veggie hater. Maybe you’re on-the-go and the menu options are less than ideal. Or maybe you just want to add more greens to your diet. Regardless, the bottom line is, when it comes to greens, the more you eat, the happier your body will be.
Shakeology Digestive Health Boost
Did you know the average American gets LESS THAN HALF of the daily recommended amount of fiber? Yep. No wonder our internal plumbing has problems. However, this incredible Boost supplies your body with a potent blend (7 grams) of both soluble AND insoluble fiber, setting this formula apart from typical fiber supplements that only contain soluble fiber.
So when you’re experiencing irregularity, bloating, or discomfort, this Boost will help while getting you back to feeling like yourself as soon as possible. Plus, if you add Digestive Health Boost to Chocolate Shakeology, you’ll get 52% of your daily recommended amount of fiber—in just one shake

July 22nd  Beachbody Performance Line
Game changer!  You know all those supplements that are thrown at you to make you run faster, hydrate better, and recover quicker?  Beachbody just blew them out of the water!  True to form, each of these 5 supplements are free of artificial ANYTHING and specific enough to meet your needs.performanceline
Energize: Pre Workout Formula to boost you ready for exercise
Hydrate: During Workout Formula to improve performance and replenish electrolytes
Recover: Post workout Formulas to provide speedy muscle recovery
Recharge: Nighttime Recovery Formula to combat muscle soreness and improve adaptation to exercise
Creatine: Mixed with Recover for post workout to improve muscle development
They can be used together, in any combination, or alone.  YOU decide!

Are you ready to step up your game???  You better believe I am getting one of everything and making the rest of 2015 my personal best!  Oh, and let’s not forget all the great apparel that is launching as well!
All of these things can be found at Team Beachbody

The nutrition plan is easy to follow and it uses the portion controlled container system to help you with nailing the portion sizes!  I have created 4 meal plans over the past 4 weeks that are specific to Cize that I am going to share in my upcoming Launch Group!


I am going to walk you through each workout, teach you how to make modifications, guide you through the program guide to make sure that you are doing the program correctly and my goal is to help you stay motivated, connected, supported and to give you recipes, tips and ideas so that you can truly get the most from the program!
