JALAPENO TURKEY MEATBALLS

1 pound ground turkey
1/2 onion diced
1/4 cup canned jalapeno's chopped up
1 egg white
seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin
(throw in some whole wheat
breadcrumbs if you want)

Mixed everything together to make 16 meatballs.  Sauteed them on the stove top and then finished them off in the oven!

Serving size is 4 meatballs to equal 1 Red container on the 21 day fix!  ENJOY!

ZUCCHINI BOATS

I had a craving for tacos so I made this bad boy and damn was it delicious!  I did not want the carbs of the tortilla or hard shell so instead I used a zucchini!

Southwestern Spice Mix:

1/2 tsp paprika

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp coriander

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cayenne (if wanted)

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp sea salt

Make ground turkey in a pan and when it is cooked, add as much of the spice mixture that you want. Set aside.

Cut the Zucchini lengthwise and hollow out the middle using a teaspoon. Set the boats aside.

Chop up the zucchini insides, saute in a pan with black beans (rinsed and dried), quinoa (already cooked), and corn (already cooked). Mix in some chopped tomatoes.  I added salt and pepper at this point.

Stuff the zucchini boats with the cooked mix and meat.  Cook in oven for about 15 minutes at 350 and put in the broiler for additional few minutes.   You can top with a dab of greek yogurt and a little shredded cheese if you wish!

For 21 day fixers: measure out a container of meat for 1 red, 1 yellow container which is the beans/quinoa/corn mix.  It is also 1 green for the zucchini!  ENJOY!

BEAN SALSA

This is the simplest bean salsa you will ever make!  Serve with pita chips, veggies, sweet potato chips...throw it on top of a salad...whatever you want!  OR just get a spoon and dive in!

Mix together 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 3 tablespoons greek yogurt. Then add in:
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion finely diced
1 avocado cut in chunks
2 tomatoes cut in chunks (I take the seeds out so it does not become liquidy)
2 cups frozen corn that is thawed and drained

Mix gently and season with salt and pepper.  ENJOY!!

CREAMY AVOCADO ZOODLES

Use a spiralizer to make zoodles out of 4 zucchini. Then saute them on the stove and add ground pepper (no oil) just a little cooking spray if the pan needs it.  I did it in 4 batches because I wanted to get some nice color on the "pasta"

Then for the sauce...which if you like fettuccine alfredo, this is right up your alley!
In a food processor blend together 1 medium ripe avocado, pepper and salt to taste, 1/4 cup fresh basil, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.  Blend until smooth.

Mix it all together and serve!  You can sprinkle just a little Parmesan cheese on top if you want (like a teaspoon).  Makes 4 servings.

21 Day fix: 1 green, 1 blue.

ENJOY this amazing meal!!

HOLIDAY SURVIVAL!!

Holidays are for sure hard to stay on track with health and fitness goals.  There are tons of food around at any party you go to, not much movement besides walking around talking to people, and most likely not much healthy options on the food menu either.  My tips to stay on track today:

1.       Bring a HEALTHY appetizer that you know you can have and not feel guilty about

2.       Bring your OWN SNACKS.  It is a great way to start getting people talking about what you are doing with beachbody, nutrition, workouts and why. Let them know that the 21 day fix nutrition plan is all about and how the 30 workouts are!

3.       Have a SHAKE before you go to the party or a serving of protein in order to fill you up and not be tempted by all the crap food!

4.       Be ACTIVE!  Run around and play with the kids, take a dip in the pool, play outdoor games that involve moving. Don’t just let yourself sit there! And if you have time, get your morning 30 minute workout in!

5.       HELP OUT!  With set up, getting other people plates, clean up.  Extra hidden calorie burn right there!

6.       Drink plenty of WATER!  There are sure to be lots of high calorie beverages.  If you must have an alcoholic one, choose vodka and seltzer.

7.       Do NOT wear loose fitting clothing.  Dress to impress so you see how hard you have worked to get to where you are on your fitness journey.

8.       Recognize when you are full! Do not linger around the food tables picking all day.  Have a meal, eat, and move along!

9.       BE CONFIDENT!  Don’t worry about what other people think with your healthy choices.  Fill that plate up with veggies, protein, and the good food choices to fuel that body!

10.   HAVE FUN! It is a holiday so be sure to celebrate with family and friends!

It is easy to give into temptation but the guilt the next day is not work it.  The powerful feeling of saying NO to bad choices makes you feel so good afterwards.  STAY ON TRACK. BE GOOD, BE HEALTHY! HAPPY 4^TH OF JULY!

1 avocado
1 banana
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder

Once all blended together gradually add coconut flour to the blender to thicken it up.  Once all incorporated and thick, use a cookie scoop to put on a foil lined baking sheet or plate.  Place in freezer and BAM you have chocolate bites!  I store them in the freezer when I want a little treat!

Ingredients:
Part skim Ricotta Cheese
Mozzarella cheese

Cover with Aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes.  Then take the foil off and bake another 15 minutes.

FIG OAT TREATS

8 figs
about 1/2 cup oats

21 Day Fix Extreme Update

Officially made it to Day 9!!! It is amazing because I truly thought I would have caved in by now and cheating with some nachos, pizza, muffins...anything.  Plus sticking to the meal plan while being on vacation for a few days was an achievement. And personally, me going 9 days without frozen yogurt is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Funny part is though, when you are eating healthy, working out, and in a routine holding each other accountable, it doesn't seem that hard at all.  Your cravings go away, thanks to shakeology too, and you don't think about the junk food.  I really do not miss it...OK I MISS THE FRO YO!  But on the days I can have 2 fruit servings, I blend up frozen strawberries and banana and that is my make shift fro yo.  SO good!

How are the workouts??

Well, I have to admit after going through insanity max 30, I thought they would be a breeze.  Boy was I wrong.  Autumn pushes you with utilizing the weights and giving minimal breaks.  I feel like the second I have a sip of water, we are already going again.  I like this because it keeps your mind focused on the exercises and not on the soreness you are beginning to feel.



How is the meal plan?  

My girlfriend and I have stuck to it!  Is it hard?  YES.  And I say yes because it seems like we spend a lot of time in the kitchen.  But comparing week 1 meal prep to week 2, we are speeding up the process.  Make several servings of each dish, use teamwork in the kitchen, have one person chopping while the other is using the stove...little ways to make it go by faster.  And come the end of meal prep, our fridge is full of tupperware containers ready to go!!

How are the recipes?

Tried Autumns Vegetable egg cups which are to die for and great to take on the go.  And we tried the turkey chili. With how cold it has been in New England, this was the perfect dinner to warm us up.
This week Chicken Fajitas and Turkey Meatballs, and Hearty Beef and Butternut Squash Stew are going to be tried from the 21 Day Fix Extreme book!!  Can not wait!





How are the results?

So far we have not taken inches but I can tell that I have a bit more room in my jeans which is never a bad thing!  On the scale we have dropped a few pounds, but ultimately the goal is to feel better, and feel healthier.  My skin has cleared up just by e



ating healthier and getting enough water / sleep in my life.  It is awesome to see that fueling your body does to you on the inside and out.  Less cover up is always a goal! haha

So heading into week 2, here is our meal plan!  It will be hard again towards the end of the week since we will be traveling for work, but again holding each other accountable will get us through!

CHOCOLATE COVERED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE BITES

Blend 2/3 cup pumpkin puree, 2 ounces of light creme cheese, 1/3 cup oats, 1/4 cup coconut flour (or whatever flour you want), 2 scoops vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp pumpkin spice, and some cinnamon.

After mixing place in freezer for about 40 minutes.  Then roll into 18 bites.  Melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chops and cover the bites.  Place back in freezer for about 10 minutes.  Then ENJOY!!
