Root Beer Float Shakeology

Um. Yeah. Ehermagherd.

I heard about this new Root Beer Float Shakeology recipe. I must admit,  I was skeptical. In my opinion, root beer floats must be done CORRECTLY to be good. We're talking the good vanilla ice cream and fresh root beer.

So, last week I was a little bored with my normal shakeology routine. I needed something different than my Mocha Frappe shakeo. Then I remembered that I had bought some root beer extract at the grocery store. I decided to give my version of the recipe a whirl and low and behold...

The results of my little experiment were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! It was like a big fat cheat meal/dessert but without any of the guilt! In fact, my son had a taste and asked me to make him one! That right there is a SCORE!

Do I have you excited yet? Are you drooling? Want the recipe???

Ok - here it is :)


Ingredients:

• 1 scoop/packet of Vanilla Shakeology
• 1/4 tsp Root Beer Extract
• 8-12 ozs unsweetened almond milk (or water - depending on what you like)
• Ice to taste

Directions:

1. Pour almond milk into your blender.
2. Add in the vanilla shakeology and root beer extract.
3. Top with ice.
4. Blend.
5. Drink up!

If you are sensitive to flavor, you might need to use less extract (1/8 tsp). If you need a little more flavor, use more extract (up to 1 tsp). 

Let me know what you think and if you made any changes to my recipe!

Apple Pie Shakeology

Yeah. I'm on a fall kick. The weather is getting cooler. There's Friday night football games and MARCHING BAND every week. The leaves are changing. I'm wearing my brown boots today. 

Yes sir. I believe it's FINALLY fall. :)

With fall comes lots of fun recipes and staples. Pumpkin Pie. Apple Pie. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Warm soup. S'mores by the fire.

I'm not gonna lie. Fall is hard on me. I WANT to eat all the yummy food. I ENJOY all the yummy food. The problem is that my body doesn't like the unclean food. 

So, I do what I can to make versions of the fall foods I love. That has been a LOT easier since Beachbody came out with Vanilla Shakeology this past summer. The vanilla flavor takes on whatever you add to it, so coming up with new recipes has been fun!

I decided to do an Apple Pie recipe this morning and HELLO! It was delish! Too good to leave buried in an old blog post. This sucker deserves its own post!
