I have become completely addicted to zucchini noodles - both for salads and for pasta. And they are SO easy to make! I have been having a zucchini a day lately as a foundation with my greens. I feel so healthy!
Ingredients:
One small zucchini about 6 inches long - either use the zucchini noodle maker or just shred with a mandolin or some other tool.
Handful of spring mix/greens
tomatoes - diced
cucumbers - diced
mushrooms - sliced
microgreens (you can get these at Trader Joe's)
Hummus for salad dressing (put in bowl and dip fork in to use as a dressing)
Why I Quit As a Beachbody Coach
Why I Quit As a Beachbody Coach
For the past year
I have been a huge advocate for Beachbody. I have loved Shakeology
since it was released in 2009. I love the workouts. I loved the energy
of the company. I loved meeting such great people and getting
trained. And then...they changed the formula. Last summer they messed
with chocolate Shakeology and to me it tasted like chocolate flavored
windex. Apparently, I wasn't the only person who felt that way. A few
months later they changed the formula...again. About the same time I
was introduced to Ocean Avenue.
I liked the opportunity, the incentives (trips for your whole family
and not just party cruises), and especially the leadership. I liked the
fact that I could join in pre-launch, but that the compensation plan
was beneficial for anyone at any level. I also liked that Ocean Avenue Shakes
had half the calories, 1 gram of sugar (instead of 9), 4 grams of carbs
(instead of 17) and undenatured whey instead of whey protein isolate. I
also liked that it had a couple of superfoods (chlorella and spirulina)
but didn't overwhelm my system. And honestly - the Vanilla Bean flavor
of WheySmart is just awesome.
Oh yeah, I also like the fact that it is half the price.
And since Beachbody is INCREASING the price of Shakeology by $10, I am
really happy that I made the switch. Since then, my team has grown to
almost 40 people. I have made more in commissions than the entire year I
was in Beachbody, and I have lost weight. Do I still love Beachbody
workouts? Sure. However, I have my library built up and that is enough
for me right now.
Ocean Avenue Shakes vs. Other Protein Shakes
I love protein
shakes, but what I do not love is the gritty taste that comes from plant
protein shakes. What works for me is the combination of the undenatured whey protein
and pea protein. There is nothing gritty about the Ocean Avenue
WheySmart Shakes. In fact, they are the perfect flavor to mix with
frozen fruit AND greens. They are sweetened with Stevia and they don't
have all of the fillers and garbage that come with other shakes. I also
love the other Ocean Avenue Products. Invigorate
has really helped with weight loss in combination with the WheySmart.
WheyBeyond is a recovery shake that is berry flavored that is really
helping my husband with building lean muscle mass. Empower
is a powerful anti-inflammatory supplement that has made a huge
difference with friends and family who have arthritis, knee pain, joint
pain, back pain, and even Multiple Sclerosis! And finally, Focus Energy
really helps me when I need to have energy and stay focused and calm at
the same time. It has helped my mom with her essential tremor, and is
FANTASTIC for staying awake without jitters or crashes on road trips.
