About Me

I'm Amanda! I'm a Beachbody coach and this blog is to hopefully motivate and encourage anyone who is trying to live a healthier life style. Why do it alone? It's a proven fact that with encouragement and positive motivation from other people, you are more likely to keep going!! I'll try to have motivating tips, recipes, healthy transformations and how to get involved and join the monthly challenge groups that I run!

Back to Blogging, Zucchini and Cashew Soup recipe!

I've been gone from the blogging world, truthfully, it's because I felt I had nothing to blog about :-(  I started to feel like my blogging page sounded more like an advertisement, and that's the LAST thing I wanted to be!  So from here on out, this blog will of course feature my monthly Beachbody promotions, but it will also feature recipes, beauty ideas, and of course my life in general.

First things first!  I'm going to post my favorite and easy homemade soup recipe!

It follows the 21 Day Fix portion controlled meals being 1 Green container and 1 Blue, but I doubled it to feed me and my husband :-)

Soak cashews (blue) for about an hour, drain
Cut zucchini (green) in chunks
Steam for about 15-20 minutes until more than fork tender, I put salt and pepper on them before steaming
Throw in blender (I do half portions, so my blender doesn't clog)
Add water if needed, but not too much! I put 1/4 cup per portion
Heat up in sauce pan, but do not simmer or boil
Salt and pepper to taste
You can also add fresh basil or any other fresh herb into the blender



Now on to me :-)  It's been an amazing few months, and I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging to share my success and how I've been reaching my goals, BUT I will be blogging more!  I've bit the bullet and decided to go to Beachbody's Summit coming up in 2 weeks!!  GASP!!!  I'm so excited to be taking my PiYo certification, and also attending business building meetings, getting my picture taken with the trainers and also being able to hang out with my Beachbody family.  I'm seriously so excited I pushed myself into going!  YOU KNOW I'll be blogging about Summit!

Keep your eye out for more info on PiYo, which is Chalene Johnsons new workout coming in July........BUT I get it mid June!! 

I decided to tackle Focus T25 and I'll be done this week, progress pictures will be posted soon :-)
