This is a conversation you my hear at a Target, Walmart, Kamart, or any other fine establishment that sells “Other Products”:

“Um, yes, I’m looking for the Shakeology…No SHAKEOLOGY???  OK, what about that cute Sean T fellow and Insanity???  NO Insanity…OK, how about some p90x…that Tony Horton is AMAZING???  Brazilian Butt LIFT…I KNOW YOU HAVE THAT!!”

Why Can’t I Buy Beachbody Products in stores??

This question gests asked all the time…NO, you can’t buy Beachbody dvds and Shakeolgy in stores.  You may be asking yourself, “Why?”

Team Beachbody created their programs so you won’t fail.  They found if you have a friend, buddy, or coach to chat with about your struggles and goals, you have a better chance of getting maximum results.  When you purchase any program, even just Shakeology, you have a coach.  Even if you just went onto www.shakeology.com and ordered Shakeology, YOU HAVE A COACH.  You are never alone.

On the business side of this, as a coach, when you reach a certain level of business (the first ranking), you are given these new ‘leads’ to help them reach their goals.  The commission is yours and anything they buy in the future, you also earn commission for.  Beachbody doesn’t just want the people who buy the programs to succeed, but also their coaches!

Breakfast….the most important meal of the day!

Breakfast…yup, it’s the most important meal of the day.  But I am guilty, just like I am sure a lot of you, of not taking this meal as seriously as I should have.  Mornings are CRA-ZY in the Fighting French Fries Household.  Kids are up and it’s GO GO GO!  I decided to try the Breakfast Quinoa recipe that I found in the p90x2 meal guide.  I of course changed it up a bit, by adding Greek yogurt, but I really liked it.

Benefits of Quinoa is high in fiber and protein. In actually contains more protein than any other grain while also packing in iron and potassium.  In a nutshell, Quinoa makes you feel full without the bloat.  So many mornings, protein is lacking in our breakfast.  Using this recipe helped give me the protein kick I needed.

Breakfast Quinoa (This recipe is from the p90x2 meal guide.)

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed

• 2 cups fresh berries

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (I didn’t add the nuts)

• 4 tsp honey

Preparation

1. Combine milk, water, and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.

2. Reduce heat to medium low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. (I made this a head of time and put in the refrigerator.  This is because I added the yogurt.  If you don’t add the yogurt, you can make and eat warm).

3. Stir in berries, vanilla, and cinnamon; transfer to 4 bowls and top with nuts (again, I didn’t use nuts).

4. Drizzle 1 teaspoon preferred sweetener over each serving.

5. (Optional) Add Greek Yogurt to the mixture.  We used Organic Vanilla Greek Yogurt.

This recipe can be split into 4 bowls.
