I've never been much of a conformist and rules make me itchy! This has been my cross to bear my entire life. Don't fence me in and nobody gets hurt!
When it comes to dieting, I'm a trouble maker...for myself mostly. Restrictive diets don't work for me because of my stubborn nature. Tell me "no", chances are good I'll rebel (a grown woman and I'm still my Mother's nightmare).
I'm here to tell you about my "work around" to my less attractive attributes. My secret to tricking myself into feeling free to be me! I bet you're really starting to wonder about me now, aren't you. lol.
Being a big fan of simplicity, a weight loss shake as a meal replacement just works for me. However, they're a little...shall we say, BORING. Here's a few ideas to add some excitement to your weight loss or even protein shakes!
In my quest for good taste, I start with my poison of choice, doTERRA's Slim and Sassy Chocolate Weight Loss shake powder.
I pour a generous cup of Almond/Coconut milk into a glass, add the chocolate shake powder, 2/3 cup of leftover coffee and....
...1 drop of Peppermint essential oil!
YUM!
Here's a tip from me, invest in an inexpensive immersion blender.
A stick blender like this one makes my life so much easier! I dreaded having to haul the blender out to mix up a shake. Trust me, using a mixer of some sort is key in making a good shake! Frothy is good.
I bought this blender at Walmart, it was inexpensive, came with a case and several attachments. I like the whisk attachment for shake making!

This weight loss shake is delicious served hot!
Freshly brewed coffee, chocolate and a tiche of Peppermint EO served piping hot is a heavenly combination to dash out the door with each morning!
Dashing burns calories too :)
Oooohh....sounds yummy!! I have been dying to try the Slim & Sassy shakes. As soon as this baby decides to join us out here in the real world, I'll be ordering some Slim & Sassy!!

I'm not a fan of the chocolate slim & sassy. I don't drink coffee so do you have any other recipies so I can enjoy a chocolate shake
ReplyDeleteYou could add a drop of Peppermint or a drop of Wild Orange...those are yummy alternatives too!
