Shamrock Shake Shakeology

Those of you that know me, know that I am not the biggest fan of Greenberry Shakeology. It is good, I mean, there really isn't a bad flavor of Shakeology, BUT I have had a hard time finding a way to make it so that I like it.

Until TODAY. In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, I decided to give a Shakeology Shamrock Shake a go. And let me tell you --- it was pretty good! :)

Ingredients

• 1 scoop Greenberry Shakeology
• 10 oz of Almond Milk or Water
• 1 drop or 2 of peppermint extract
• 1 tsp of natural peanut butter
• 2 tbsp of Vanilla pudding mix
• ice to taste

Blend and Enjoy! :)

2-Ingredient Applesauce

Applesauce is such a delicious treat that I forget about. When buying it in the store, I always snag up the natural Mott's. But even that has some unnecessary ingredients!

Here is an easy way to make your own applesauce at home --- and it tastes SO much better! :)

Ingredients

• Apples - any kind**
• cinnamon 

**Green apples make for a more "sour" applesauce, red apples make a sweeter applesauce**

Directions

1. Skin, core, and chop apples.
2. Place in a  big pot on the stove.
3. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally.
4. The apples will begin to breakdown ---- add your cinnamon.
5. For a thicker applesauce, leave do not mush :) For a thinner applesauce, run through  food processor or blender.
6. Enjoy!

This is delicious paired with pork chops or over greek yogurt.
