A PICKER UPPER SHAKE: Mocha Espresso Shakeology

 
Half a banana
¼ cup of Almond Milk (unsweetened)
½ cup cold water
5 Espresso Beans
5 Almonds
1 tbs Oatmeal
1 serving of Chocolate Shakeology
Ice about 1-2 cup

Put all ingredients in the blender in the list order. Blend until all ingredients are mixed. For chunky mixture, stop it immediately after the ice is all crushed and blended.

ENERGY BITES: Chocolate Shakeology Peanut Butter


  • 1 cup Oatmeal
  • ½ cup Almonds (or other nuts)
  • ¼ cup Raisin/Craisin
  • 4 tbs Peanut Butter
  • 2 tbs Agave
  • 2 tbs water (may be used if mixture is too dry)
  • 1 packet Shakeology Chocolate (vegan or regular)
  • 2 tbs shredded coconut (dry unsweetened) for coating

In food processor, pulse: oatmeal, almonds, craisin/raisin until small bits.

Add in Shakeology Chocolate, peanut butter and agave. Pulse again until blended.

Test the mixture for consistency. It should be like a wet thick paste, not too dry, and can be rolled into a small balls or molded. If the mixture is too dry, add in the water, 1 tbs at a time.   

Shape the mixture and store inside an airtight container in refrigerator. You can also freeze the bites for longer storage. 

Recommend storage in the freezer about 1-2 week. NEVER leave the bites inside a hot car! If you are going to the gym, bring them with you in a bag.

  • ½ cup Almonds (or other nuts)
  • ¼ cup Raisin/Craisin
  • 4 tbs Peanut Butter
  • 2 tbs water (may be used if mixture is too dry)

In a food processor, pulse: banana, oatmeal, almonds, craisin/raisin to coarse bits.
Add in peanut butter and Shakeology. Pulse again until all ingredients are mixed - visually you should see it balled together to a thick paste.

After you shaped them into balls, roll them in the crushed nuts to coat the outside.

Lay the balls out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and put in the freezer until harden. Recommend storage in the fridge about 1-2 week.
