Delicious Chocolate Praline Extreme

Oh yeah, Baby!  You know your mouth is watering now!

IMG_5951

I asked my husband what I should name this and he stated, “Delicious!”

So without further ado, I give you:

 

Delicious Chocolate Praline Extreme

1 scoop Complete Dutch Chocolate protein powder

1 frozen banana

1/8 cup pecans to blend,

1/8 cup pecans for the topping, whole or chopped.

1 cup unsweetened Coconut Milk (or milk of your choice)

Blend all of the ingredients in the blender until smooth.  ENJOY!

This recipe makes a large 24 oz serving.  I use a special 24 oz size jar that holds three cups (instead of the standard 32 oz or 1 quart jar), and this recipe fills it to the top.  These jars are nice for shakes as they are easy for everyone to hold and easy to reach all the delicious yummy treats inside.   You could easily divide this recipe in half and share smaller servings between two people.  I also make this recipe without the nuts (leaving the nuts out reduces about 1/2 the calories).  It turns out like a chocolate Frosty and has a whole lot less calories, and is way better for me and my family too.

Nutrition:  429 Calories, 16g Protein, 13g fiber, 20g Fat (healthy fats from nuts and plants), Vit C, Vit A, Potassium, Iron, Calcium,  and so much more.

Nutrition Facts:

Delicious Chocolate Praline Extreme Nutrition

Options:

2 Tbsp whipped cream (optional)

1 tsp chocolate sauce (optional)

These extras are purely optional.

Complete Dutch Chocolate
Whole Food Shake / Smoothie Powder:

The Dutch Chocolate Complete powder costs about $2.00 a scoop (or you can use a half scoop for $1 a serving for a smaller portion and make it even more budget friendly) and makes your ice cream and smoothie treats creamy, but also light and fluffy.  It is amazing!

You would not know it, but it is made with 20+ wholesome plant foods like broccoli sprouts, quinoa, pomegranate, apples, spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, radish sprouts, millet, pumpkin, cocoa, and more, but tastes like the best chocolate powder.   It is a complete meal, or use it as a healthy snack or treat too.   The Complete powder also comes in Vanilla too.  The flavor combinations you can come up with using this as your base and adding other fruits or nuts is endless!  You just have to give this whole food powder a try, it is amazing!

Such a simple way to nourish your body with whole food nutrition! 

Be wise and blessed!

Transform 30 and $100 Cash Giveaway

Let me ask you a question.

What is your health worth?

What would you say if I told you that saying “Yes” to one simple change you can make today to take care of yourself, and repeat it for the next 30 days, can transform your life?

My friend Amber shared her health story with me.  She said “Yes” to her health, and her life has been transformed.  We have been friends for six years, sharing so much together about education, faith, parenting, marriage, healthy living, and meeting together for playdates for our kids.  I have watched her grow in knowledge and her health, but something changed in her recently and she is vibrant!  When I asked her how she got healthy, she shared her Transformation 30 journey with me.  She has inspired me so much.  She gave me permission to share her before and after photos with you.

Amber's transformation

“I lost 22 pounds,lots of inches, and my energy is through the roof now. But the biggest thing for me was just liking what I saw in the mirror again, and feeling so much better.” Amber Neal

This is the real deal.  She is a real person I have known for a long time.  I see the change in her.  The transformation is happening right before my eyes.  I said YES!  I joined her on the journey because I want this too!  I want a life transformation and to be at my best.

 

What is Transform 30?

The Transform 30 is saying “YES” to:

 Juice Plus Capsules and Juice Plus Complete Shake

 Drink 3 liters of water

 Exercise 30 minutes,  4 times a week

 Zero Wheat

 Zero Dairy

 Breathe deep 3 times a day for 3 minutes each

 Get 8 hours of sleep every night

 Assist digestion by finishing all food by 6 pm if possible.

 Balance

 

Tell me more about Juice Plus!

Juice Plus Products

Juice Plus is a whole complete food.  It is made from whole fruits, vegetables, grains, enzymes, and probiotics, and has been dried and powdered and is served in easy to use capsules, chewables, powders, and food bars for convenience.  It is a complete food, with all of its life giving vitality in tact.

Juice Plus has repeatedly been studied by at least 30 medical studies in leading hospitals and medical journals all over the world showing its amazing ability to transform peoples lives for the better.   In clinical studies it has been shown to affect so many of the diseases Americans are facing.  In addition to the clinical studies, I have been listening to real people tell their testimony.  I have heard people say their immune systems are stronger, their blood tests are perfect, they lowered their cholesterol by 200 points, and several who their doctors gave them weeks to live with end stage cancer and that was 7, 10, 15, 19 years ago.  Can you believe? I also heard a woman share her story that in 5 months, proven by her doctor and lab tests, she cured her incurable inherited sickle cell anemia disease. In 5 months her body rebuilt, re-engineered new DNA that was free of the disease.  I listened to an incredible woman who healed herself of lung cancer after the doctor told her it had metastisized and only gave her two weeks to live.  Juice Plus transformed her life.  It is amazing!

So what do you say?

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Would you like to get healthier and improve your energy levels?

Creating A Strategy For Success.

Don’t let another momement go by and leave you feeling defeated. Take this challenge! What have you got to loose?

Transform your healthy living lifestyle with a strategy to support your various body systems, creating balance while you tighten and tone over the course of 90 days. This is a phenomenal strategy to reach your health and wellness goals. When you evaluate how far you have come and the progress you have made over the 3 month challenge, perhaps you will desire to do it again, repeat the process to nourish, restore, balance, detox, tone, tighten, firm, etc. for the next 90 days.

You are going to be an inspiration for change. I just know it! I am so excited to work with you and about your potential for better living, better health, and reaching your goals in the next 90 days.
