Gettin' Fruity!

Sometimes keeping it simple is just... simpler! Instead of reaching for candy this Halloween Eve for your after dinner dessert, try a sweet fruit! Grapes and plums are two of my favorites as they satisfy my sweet tooth and provide just the right amount of consistency to satisfy my cravings.

Some experts say that it only takes two weeks to form a habit. My recommendation: get this habit started today and feel better about satisfying your sweet tooth!

Banana Honey Yogurt

Dessert anyone? Coming in at under 200 calories, this one is sure to be one of your favorites!

3/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 tbsp honey (preferably local)
1 small banana, sliced

Mix yogurt and honey together and top with banana slices. Enjoy!

Southwestern salad

I'm on a quest to eat healthy and pass what I find along to you. Here's what was for my dinner tonight!

Salad:
5 oz baby greens
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn
1/2 cup dark beans such as kidney or black beans
1 fresh tomato diced
1 gluten free breaded chicken tender cut in small slices (optional)
(Heat beans and corn in sauce pan over medium heat. Cook chicken tender per directions. Layer salad starting with greens. Add tomato, beans and corn, and dressing and top with chicken cuts.)

Dressing:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp chopped green onions
1 clove fresh garlic
1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground cummin
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
(Combine all dressing ingredients in small blender and blend until semi-smooth. Use 4 tbsp to top salad.)

Enjoy!

Let's do this!

 As a new coach for Beach Body, I'd like to send out a Challenge to stay healthy this holiday season! How am I going to do that?

1. I'm going to invite everyone I know to join my Challenge Group: "Heather's Shakeology Challenge 2013"

2. I'm going to do the research and pass along to you some healthy recipes and habbits I find along the way

3. I'm going to share what's working for me and thousands of other people!

I'm excited about this, so, let's do this!
