Tasty Tuesday- Peanut Butter & Chocolate Protein Shake

The easiest thing to make known to man are shakes! I mean all you do is add things in a blender and drink. My fave right now is this one:

PB & Chocolate Protein Shake

1 c. Almond milk

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 tablespoon peanut butter

Handful of spinach or kale

Blend all in a blender and you have a nummy after workout mini meal! Today I modified it and did half of a scoop of chocolate and have a scoop of vanilla protein mix. OMG it was delish! You should try to drink a protein shake right after a workout because your muscles are still working and what better way to feed them than with protein. ;)

Fitness Friday- Squat Challenge Results

So some of you knew that I was doing a 30 day squat challenge... Well I finally completed the challenge and have my before and after. Still have a ways to go but holy cow there is a major difference. (Excuse my photography skills. My husband was sleeping and just decided to take them on my own.) I love SEEING my body transform! I really encourage people to take photos of them selves, although it may be gross or embarrassing at first, it is an amazing motivater and when you do start feeling discouraged you can take another photo to help you see that you really have transformed. Remember, the scale is only a small indicator of your success! How you feel, and how your clothes fit is the most important. Here is the challenge I did in case you want to do your own squat challenge! Enjoy! I know I did. I even may do it again! -Ash

Easy Chicken Salad

If you really want an easy dinner.. Nothing is easier than a chicken salad! Especially when Costco makes already cooked grilled chicken strips! I really hope I don't have to show or really tell you how to make this salad....but I'll tell u what I have on mine: 4 c. Baby spinach Less than 1 c. Iceberg lettuce 4 grape tomatoes 1/3 c. Cucumber 2 mini bell peppers 1 hard boiled egg 3oz of the chicken 265 calories w/o dressing...but here's a tip that I love!!!! Always have your dressing on the side, dip your fork in your dressing and then get a huge bite of veggies! It really does cut the dressing back to where you are only eating what's necessary! It's the only way I eat salad now! Let me know how you like it! Goodnight lovelies!
