Veggie Stuffed Sweet Potato
Click Here for recipe




























Meal Three
Salad Bar

Ingredients:
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Peas
Canned Beets
Boiled Eggs
Olives
Avocado
Broccoli
Carrots
Raw Sunflower Seeds
Juice of 1 lemon for Dressing or any simple clean dressing will do.

Chop all ingredients and place in individual bowls for a bar. Or you can lay chopped lettuce out on a cookie sheet or large tray. Once lettuce is in place start loading the toppings in rows until everything has been used. Squeeze lemon over salad and dig in.

Snack Idea
One large Avocado pitted and filled with blueberries. 
This might sound crazy but it is delicious. If you don't have blueberries any berry or grapes will do.

If you need a quick protein fix I suggest either a Think Thin Bar or Quest Bar.

DON'T FORGET YOUR WATER!!

Jump Start To Healthy Style Holidays Day 1




Jump Start To Healthy Style Holidays Day 1

I am so excited for this fun Jump Start Challenge, and I am so excited to be working with Deb Averett Fitness. Today is the first day of our week long challenge and I will give you some great recipe ideas to help you get through your day. Also Deb Averett Fitness will be sharing todays workout.
But first I wanted to give you 4 quick tips on how to make these the best Healthy Style Holidays ever!


First ~ NO SUGAR! 
I know this is a hard one for everyone especially since there is probably a lot of Halloween candy still left in the house, THROW IT AWAY!! Remove anything that will tempt you or fill those cravings. It will take the first three days to detox the sugar out of yours system so just remember that. 

Second ~ DRINK MORE WATER!
This will help you in SO many ways. On average you need to drink half your bodies weight in ounces of water each day. This will also help you detox and move things through your body. I recommend buying a gallon of water and marking on the outside of the jug different times starting at 
-7am-
-8am-
-9am-
-10am-
-11am-
-12pm-
-1pm-
and so on until you have marked where the line of water should be at at different times of the day. This really helps you meet your water intake goals.

Third ~ EAT CLEAN!
It is important to not only eliminate unhealthy foods, but very important to refuel yourself with healthy food to take its place.  That is where these recipes will come in handy. Try to get 5-6 small meals a day. I will add 3 meal ideas for you as well as a snack or post workout shake.

Fourth ~ WORKOUT!
Being healthy is not just what you put in your body, but also the best way to keep your body functional. Deb Averett Fitness has come up with some fantastic workouts to help you get in shape and get your energy levels up. 

So without further delay here are your recipes for the day.

First Meal
Avocado Egg Muffin


Ingredients:
1 whole wheat or paleo english muffin
2 eggs, or 2 egg whites and 1 yoke
1/2 Avocado sliced
Coconut butter
Dash of salt and pepper

Toast english muffin and butter it with coconut butter and set aside. Beat eggs together with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat folding them to make a folded stake of eggs. Add eggs to the english muffin then add slices of avocado to top of eggs. 

Second Meal
Hummus and Veggies
1/3 cup of your favorite Hummus
1 cup of your favorite veggies
   Some ideas: Carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini sticks, cucumber.

Third Meal
Deconstructed Shrimp Kabob (or chicken)
Recipe can be found HERE



Post Workout Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen Pineapple

Raspberry Party Popcorn



Raspberry Party Popcorn

Movie night calls for something delicious and sweet. Don't forget the popcorn! I put all of these things together to create this fun healthy snack. 

Ingredients:
4-6 cups Air popped popcorn
2 tbs Almond butter
1 tbs Coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs Extra dark chocolate chips melted
1 cup Dehydrated raspberries

In a small pot add Almond butter and Coconut oil over medium heat until melted and smooth. In a large bowl add popped popcorn and pour Almond butter mixture over top. Toss until all Almond butter is incorporated and covers as much of the popcorn as possible. Sprinkle salt and toss again. Spread popcorn onto a cookie sheet, sprinkle raspberries over top, toss, then drizzle melted chocolate over top. Place into bowls or popcorn containers and EAT!
