Samoa Cookie Shakeology

Ahh the delciousness of caramel and coconut in ONE COOKIE!!
This must be a gift from heaven!!
In fact, it is a gift from those cute girls in green that come around once a year and sell us
Samoa Girl Scout Cookies!!

There are apparently 2 bakers that make Girl Scout Cookies and depending which baker it is dictates the name so these cookies are also sometimes called Caramel deLites - huh who knew!! All I knew is they are delicious and I can eat a whole box by myself!!

Well as you know I am on a mission to find Shakeology recipes that mimic these delicious cookies all week long!! My reason for doing this is these cookies although delicious are not a healthy snack. Let's be honest while we are at it, can you really eat the recommended serving on the box? 2 samoa cookies? 

So instead of the cookie let's try finding a Shakeology recipe that mimics the cookie!! Shakeology is made of 70+ natural ingredients which make it a superfood super dense nutrition shake!! 

If you can have the delciousness and nutrition - WHY NOT go for Shakeology instead of the cookie!!

Today it is Samoa's but later this week we will also visit Caramel deLites!! Will there be a difference in taste?? We shall see!! 

 I am also on a mission to find a way to make these recipes that will fall in line with the 21 Day Fix program's nutrition plan. A lot of these shakeology recipes I found included milk, almond milk, etc. but for those of us who know the 21 Day fix nutrition plan, you also know milk is considered a Replacement container food and quite frankly I don't want to use mine up for MILK!! Feel free to do so if you like though!!

and the moment you have been waiting for...how do you make Samoa Cookie Shakeology?

Ingredients and Directions...

*8-10 ounces water
*1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
*1/2-1 teaspoon caramel extract
*1 teaspoon unsweetened coconut (or 1/2-1 teaspoon coconut extract)
*4-5 ice cubes
*Blend and Serve with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut on top!
**(The coconut on top is a must!! It totally changes the flavor of the shake!!)**

When you try this I would love to hear your thoughts!!

And for those that are not ready to try Shakeology, what is holding you back?

Now is the time to learn how to live a 

FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY Life

Thin Mint Shakeology

Who needs the empty calories of the Thin Mint cookies when you can have a delicious and nutritious THIN MINT Shakeology Shake!! 

Yes you heard me right, this shake tastes like a Thin Mint without the empty calories and without the guilt!! 

I don't know about you but when those little black decadent cookies (a.k.a THIN MINTS) enter my house each year they are gone in NO TIME!! 

They taste so darn good!! 

This year I REFUSED to buy any Girl Scout cookies because we always devour them. 

We were given one box this year from my in-laws and guess what they only lasted an hour, if that!! 

When you love the taste of something why not look for another way to get the flavor but in a healthy way??

This idea is what lead me to my week of Girl Scout Cookie Shakeology Recipes...yes this week I will be sharing with you some of the recipes I have been working on. My mission was to make these recipes where they can be 21 Day Fix approved too.  I am currently in my 2nd round of the 21 Day Fix extreme and I want to stay on track with my goal of completing the program!! 

Thin Mint Shakeology

8-10 ounces water

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

1/2 - 1 Teaspoon Mint Extract

4-6 cubes of ice

Blend and Serve!!

I normally like my shakes more liquidy but this one I like thicker so I added extra ice cubes. Try it out and see what consistency you like the best. I was even tempted to put it in the freezer for later and enjoy like ice cream!! Maybe another day!!

Also mint extract can be very powerful so I would use caution and say add less first and give it a taste. If you need more then add more. 

and there you go a delightfully delicious & nutritious shakeology recipe inspired by THIN MINTS!!

Go get your Thin Mint fix on!!
