Chocolate Banana Shakeology Smoothie

I usually make a smoothie when I need a quick grab on the go or when I just need a boost of healthy! When I feel like I don't get enough vegetables or that I have eaten too many bad meals, I make a smoothie! A shakeology smoothie and sometimes a mix of fruits, veggies, and chia seeds. I also drink a smoothie when I don't feel like cooking. Sometimes it's just one of those days where you're really hungry and tired and you just wanna fill your stomach up!!

I will be sure to make a post about my fruit and vegetable smoothie another time! :)

Yields: 1 serving

Appliances used: Ninja blender (you can use any blender you have in handy)

Pour water into the blender cup. Cut half of a banana and pinch pieces into the cup. Pour 1 scoop of Shakeology into the blender cup. Blend together until combine.

~1/4 cups water
1/2 banana
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

Add ice into the cup leaving room for the blender to work. You must put enough ice so that your drink becomes smoothie-like.

~1.5 cups of ice

Blend your smoothie until well-combined and enjoy :)

Your smoothie should look like the picture below. 

This taste exactly like a chocolate milkshake (but healthier of course)!!! I'm in loveeee!!~ Hahaha..

Amazing amount of nutrition in one little cup! :) Easy and healthy meal as well.

Chocolate Shakeology Protein Pancakes

Ever since I wrote the blog about the fluffy oatmeal pancakes, I've been craving pancakes!!! First I talk about the crazy craving I got for pancakes then I get another craving. Haha. Crazy right? So yes! I decided to make pancakes. Instead of the fluffy oatmeal pancakes, I decided to make a healthier alternative. I have been doing the Focus T25 program so I didn't want to ruin my workout!

Recipe adapted from getfitjess.

Yields: ~6 pancakes

Place all the ingredients into a blender and combine.

1 banana
1/2 instant oatmeal
4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 egg white
1 scoop of chocolate Shakeology

This is how the batter looks after all the ingredients are combined.

Drizzle olive oil on the pan and heat to medium-low. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter then place the mixture into the pan. Once the pancakes bubble, flip them. Cook the pancakes on the pan for another minute then remove.

I topped the pancakes with strawberries and bananas then drizzled them with agave nectar. You can choose any toppings you like. Enjoy! :)

2-3 slices of strawberries
1/2 banana sliced
Drizzles of agave nectar

1 serving size is about 2-3 pancakes (not including strawberries, banana, and agave nectar)!
