21 Day Fix Cheesecake

Cheesecake is one of my absolute favorite desserts but I always eat a slice and want another, and another, and another which leads to a disaster if I don't have my self control in check that day. But since I have been on the 21 Day Fix I stumbled across a recipe for a healthier alternative, if you can say that, to the regular counterpart. The amazing thing about this cheesecake recipe is that it tastes just like full sugar, full fat, rich and delicate cheesecake.

At first I was scared to see how many colored containers one slice had in it but then I was relieved to know that each slice is only equivalent to one red container. This is perfect for me because I am supposed to eat four red containers each day and I hardly make it to that four every day. Not only does this help me reach that four container mark but it allows me to have a nice dessert after dinner.

You can top this cheesecake with whatever you'd like but since I am on the 21 Day Fix I choose fresh fruit or if I haven't used my allotment of peanut butter for the day then I melt a little of it and drizzle on the top. It hardens as it touches the cold cheesecake and gives it an extra little something for peanut butter fiend like myself.

So enough of the fluff and more of the recipe!

Ingredients:

16 ounces low-fat or 1 percent cottage cheese

½ cup of plain Greek yogurt

2 eggs

5 tablespoons of sugar (I used Stevia instead [1 tablespoon of sugar = ¼ teaspoon of Stevia])

3 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Dump cottage cheese and Greek yogurt in a blender and blend/liquify until smooth.

2. Add egg, flour, vanilla and lemon juice and blend again until all smooth.
3. Pour into a 9-inch round pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the top starts browning and pulling away from the sides. It should be jiggly to the touch but not runny.
5. Let cool for a couple hours
6. Transfer to fridge or freezer until chilled.
7. Enjoy!

Servings:  6   |  Container Count: 1 Red per slice

Note: the picture above is not my actual cheesecake slice. I am waiting for my camera to arrive so I took it with my iPhone camera and the quality was poor. Below is the actual picture of my cheesecake. 

Easiest Refried Beans Ever

If you're looking for the BEST and healthiest refried beans and taco seasoning to ever be made then you've stumbled upon my page for a reason!

I was searching the internet for a good homemade taco seasoning recipe and came across this one from Eat.Drink.Love and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did it provide me with a healthier alternative for a taco seasoning but it tasted better and I knew EXACTLY what I put into it unlike those prepackaged seasonings.

For the refried beans it is honestly one of the easiest and healthiest alternatives to the canned ones I always knew growing up.

Directions:
1. Toss some pre-washed and pre-cooked black beans into a skillet on medium heat. I like to purchase a large bag for $1 at the grocery store and cook them in the crockpot for several hours then portion them out and refrigerate or freeze accordingly. I don't add any salt or seasonings so that they're versatile for tacos, black bean burgers or even as a simple side dish.

2. Once they've started to heat up in the skillet start to smash them with a fork until they become the texture of refried beans. You can then add whatever seasonings you'd like to at this point. I usually sprinkle on some of the homemade taco seasoning and then serve with shredded chicken or ground turkey mixed with tomatoes.

Voila! You now have simple, delicious and nutritious refried beans for your favorite Mexican cuisine. Be on the lookout for my favorite Molletes with Pico de Gallo and 21 Day Fix Tacos within the next few days!

Homemade Sunflower Butter

Does your diet consist of staples? I'm sure some of you eat a variety of items each day, but do you have something you eat more than five times a week? For me it is oatmeal. I eat oatmeal each day for breakfast and sometimes I make protein balls with it or I bake it into cookies, but all-in-all I eat oatmeal like it is going out of style. Alongside my oatmeal I like to mix in a couple tablespoons of sunflower butter, but when I am stretched for money I opt for the less healthy counterpart – peanut butter.

Recently I have been really stretched financially so I've used peanut butter, but I went to Trader Joe's this morning and grabbed a bag of roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds. Let me just add in that I went Whole Foods first and priced a 12-ounce bag of seeds for $3.99 but I figured they would be cheaper at Trader Joe's. They were definitely cheaper! For a 16-ounce bag it only cost me $1.99 and that was too great of a deal to pass up. 

I've been wanting to make my own sunflower butter for weeks and finally got around to purchasing the products and actually having the time. So, get ready for the easiest and healthiest option for sunflower butter! 

Ingredients: 

2 cups of roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds 

1 teaspoon of salt (optional)

1 blender

Directions:

1. Take two cups of roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds

2. Add to a blender and blend (scraping sides often)

3. Once a powder is created continue to blend until liquified
4. Once liquified add 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of salt
5. Blend until smooth and liquid

Note: the heat from the blender blades will release the oils in the seeds and that will speed the liquifying process along.  I also used the whip feature at the end of the process just for texture.

Popsicle molds (this recipe will yield 4 popsicles)

Directions:

1. Place around 1/4 - 1/2 cup of yogurt in each mold.

Banana Ice Cream Sundae

A banana split you won't feel guilty about eating! This sundae has a base of banana ice cream and topped with hard-shell dark chocolate. This recipe yields around four one-cup servings and the process is simple but does require some freeze time which needs to be planned for in advance. For those who enjoy a cool dessert on a muggy night this is sure to please the palate.

Not only is this sundae great for a summer night, but it is actually quite healthy and filling. By including a peanut butter spread, a banana and fruits you're actually looking at a sustainable snack instead of just a simply delicious dessert! You're looking at most all of the sugars coming from natural sources in addition to this recipe being gluten-free and vegan!

Ingredients:

5 Yellow bananas
1/2 Cup of Earth Balance Coconut and Peanut Spread


Directions:

1. Peel and slice bananas to place in your blender
2. Whip until smooth
3. Add coconut and peanut spread and whip until smooth
4. Place in freezer-safe container and freeze several hours or overnight

Enjoy!

Yogurt Firecracker Popsicles

Looking for that perfect 4th of July dessert? Do you like popsicles but dislike all the sugar that comes along with said popsicles? So do I and that is why I wanted to share this recipe. It is healthy, simple and satisfying. It only includes three ingredients: blueberries, strawberries and vanilla Greek Yogurt.

The flash made my blueberries look like cartoon blueberries.

I prefer Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt but Publix didn't have any large containers. There are less calories in the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt than in this brand so your calories and nutrition information can vary if using that brand.

Ingredients:

1/2 Carton of Blueberries
1/2 Carton Strawberries
1 Cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt

Directions:

1. Wash fruits (de-stem strawberries) and puree separately in a blender until desired consistency.
2. If blueberries are more purple than blue feel free to add blue food coloring.
3. Layer each fruit into a popsicle mold until filled to the top.
4. Freeze for a couple of hours and enjoy!

Don't Cut The Carbs

Have you ever tried to cut carbs out of your diet and failed miserably? Maybe you failed because:
A) Your body was so used to carbs that it went into shock?
B) Could it have been that you just like the taste of bread and butter, pasta and garlic sticks?
C) Did you have headaches after axing the starches?

Maybe you remember this line: "You don't deserve them, you eat carbs for Christ's sake!"

Let's start here. Are you gluten intolerant? If yes then you might consider giving up carbs but if not then don't cut the carbs quite yet. Did you know carbs aren't created equal?

There are three types of carbs: simple starchy, complex starchy and complex fibrous.

What I would like for you to take away from this post is that you should stray from processed, sugary carbs (breads, white rice, white bread, white flour and opt for brown rice, whole wheat flour, green-leafy vegetables along with 100 percent whole wheat breads.

I know this is obvious and repetitive information, but there is a pattern to all of it. You must be reading it multiple times because it is solid information. I won't lie; I struggle with getting fresh fruits and veggies and whole wheat flour simply because I am on a tight budget, but when I have the opportunity I will snag unprocessed foods any day.

I challenge you to shed the processed foods and stick to an all-natural, unprocessed diet and see how different your body feels. If you're used to sugary drinks and carb-loaded meals you might feel anxious, fatigued and experience headaches, but that is your body ridding itself of the toxins and getting used to a more natural way of life. You'll eventually feel golden and actually start to see the weight slip off you.

Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I was reading the Food Babe's article regarding homemade coconut milk ice cream and tailored it to my own specifications. Since I don't have an ice cream machine, I would suggest to stick to her technique since she uses a machine and the end product would be better.

If you're looking for a big spoonful of mint chocolate chip ice cream such as Breyer's then this might not be what you're looking for, or at least my recipe isn't. I altered the chocolate ingredients and the preparation process.

Cons of my ice cream recipe vs. the original recipe:
1. My ice cream texture was that of homemade snow cream (if you've had that before).
2. I suggest using more mint extract than either of us mentioned. I like my ice cream to have a kick and this tasted a lot like the coconut milk as opposed to mint chocolate; although, it did taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
3. Use sweetened chocolate as she mentions, instead of my unsweetened cocoa and coconut milk alternative.

Please remember the nutritional content of my ice cream is exactly that, the recipe I used. Although the ice cream suffices, next time I will be using sweetened chocolate instead of unsweetened and dropping more mint extract into the mix! 

If you'd like the original recipe simply visit the Food Babe's article! She has a great explanation for why you should eat homemade ice cream instead of frozen yogurt from large chains!

Avoid Beach Bloat

For those who are lucky enough to be on the beach or near water on Memorial Day Weekend, such as myself, can definitely benefit from avoiding the bloat!

It might seem common sense to avoid things like a large glass of milk or a big donut before sliding your toes in the sand, but did you know you should also avoid, one of my favorite foods, kale?

Well, if you'd like to see some more foods you should avoid before the beach check out Fit Sugar's article.

Boxing: It's Good For You

So, Nick bought a punching bag and speed bag for us a couple of weeks ago at a great price from Dick's Sporting Goods. I have been trying to up the ante as far as my physical fitness and cardio goes. I walk each day, but I need something more hard hitting and physical. With him being into boxing, his friend taking classes and them training together I decided it was a great opportunity for me to join and they're both excited to help me.

I finally got my TapouT striking gloves on Sunday and Nick showed me some basics yesterday. I will continue to do this on an every-other-day basis in addition to my daily walks. I will also train with his friend on Sundays to log some weekend workout time. As I am in no way, shape, form or fashion a boxer and I definitely don't claim to be one, but I am excited to start learning the basics and see where it eventually takes me!

Here is our own little setup in our spare bedroom in addition to a few quick facts about why boxing is good for you!

Enjoy!

Beat The Sugar Cravings

As most of you know I love desserts and I love to hate them also. No one really needs desserts and that is the problem because, just like me, so many of us love to crave and indulge in desserts. Of course, with desserts comes sugar and a lot of it.

I can go into this article giving you a lot of facts, conversions, statistics and this and that but I am not. I am a regular overweight woman who counts my calories, exercises daily and also struggles with my cravings. When I have a larger dinner I often times want a dessert to top it off. I am that typical person who craves a nice slice of chocolate cake or a delectable brownie around 8 p.m. on a Tuesday after dinner and that's not good.

Now, we all know that sugar is bad for us and that most all desserts have lots of sugar (and that kind of sugar we really don't need), but hey, what will one brownie or one slice of cheesecake hurt? Right? Well, if you're watching your sugar intake it could really do some damage to your day.

I will start of by giving you some basics.

1. There are simple sugars which occur naturally in your fruits
    A. These are common to most healthy diets and aren't normally a hazard if eaten in moderation.

2. Then there are added simple sugars which come in most of your desserts, cereals, juice drinks, etc.
     A. These sugars actually make you want more sugar and induce cravings which makes us eat more.

As I was doing some research on how much sugar an adult female should consume a day I came across a lot of answers given in teaspoon measurements. If you are like me though, I don't measure my sugar consumption out by the teaspoon, down it and know that my daily intake has occurred. I eat my sugars by the food I take in. So, my charts are based on grams because on nutritional labels where it has the sugar labeled, it isn't in teaspoons, so neither should my advice to you. But, for kicks I will give you a little trivia.

Do you know how much sugar a female and male should take in daily?
Females should take in no more than 6 teaspoons and males should take in no more than 9 teaspoons of sugar a day. OK, so do you know how many grams that is without Googling it? Me either, so check below for the conversions and shocking facts about some food you may eat daily!

Each day I start my morning with a bowl of oatmeal (1/2 cup of oats, a banana and two tablespoons of sunflower butter). I add no sugar besides what's in my sunflower butter and banana. Something that floored me once I started paying more attention to my sugar was how much I was eating just by having this, seemingly, healthy breakfast. Just by having this breakfast every morning I was taking in 18.4 grams of sugar! That's almost 77 percent of my daily intake, just in breakfast alone! It seems like a healthy breakfast, right? Lets see if you're able to guess which breakfast item in my bowl has the most grams of sugar.

Oats: 1 gram
Sunflower Butter: 3 grams
Banana: 14.4 grams

If you pair this with an 8-ounce glass of orange juice (and it must be 8 ounces none over) you would be over your daily intake of sugar by a whopping 15.2 grams! If you're a mathematician then you now know a glass of orange juice will set you back 20.8 grams of sugar, or well over 3/4 your daily intake. With that being said, I want to take this opportunity to remind you that if you ate an orange the sugar you took in would be less hazardous than the "added simple sugar" in the orange juice.

Is it starting to make more sense now? Most of us get an outrageous amount of sugar without even knowing it because we don't realize how "added simple sugar" is in the food items we eat. I made a chart of some of the fruits I eat the most of and how many grams of sugar each contain. If you'd like for me to create a chart of your fruits then let me know in the comment section below!

What I want you to gather from reading this article is that we all need to be more conscious of what we are putting into our bodies, feeding our family and our children. It isn't about cutting out all sugars, fruits, desserts, cereals, juices, etc., but being aware of what we are eating and whether we are consuming more simple sugars or "added simple sugars." So next time instead of having that big slice of cherry cheesecake switch it to some heart healthy fruit such as the antioxidant blueberries and some Greek Yogurt.

Having a healthy lifestyle isn't about blocking out a dessert on a night out or not having that soda every blue moon, but it is about making the small changes as much as possible in order for us to live a happier, healthier life. Constantly choosing soda, cheesecake, sugary cereals and sugary juices will only lead you to craving more sugary foods and ultimately result in weight gain.

Be good to your heart and choose foods that make you and your heart function to its longest and best life!

Three Ingredient Healthy Peanut Butter Balls

Is your sweet tooth managing your diet? Are you looking for something that will quiet your sweet tooth all the while letting you fit into those snug pants? Look no further my friends. If you're anything like I am you think peanut butter was sent from the heavens and that it is worth its weight in gold. OK, maybe that is an exaggeration, but still, it is really good! Even though I have made the switch to Sunflower Butter I still prefer the good old peanut butter in my peanut butter balls!

The good thing about these peanut butter balls is that you can easily make them with the kids and feel OK in letting them have a couple.

This three-ingredient dessert is sure to please!

Plus Size Weightloss

After having a colder-than-normal winter and having a little too much holiday candy I couldn't wait to OFFICIALLY start my walking and jogging routine again. Since spring has made its appearance I am back in the swing of things.

This week's hiatus has been due to a lot of mileage under my belt, a scavenger hunt and a retreat. The last two in which I helped create and implement; therefore, it has been an extremely busy week with a lot of physical activity!

In three days I managed to log over 17 miles and burn over 3,000 calories with Map My Run. For those who aren't aware, a pound is the equivalent of 3,500 calories. I only logged Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's workouts and didn't log Thursday's. I burned around 500 calories on Thursday and managed 2 miles. I have burned over 3,500 calories, and sure enough, I weighed myself and I am down a couple of pounds. A few of those pounds probably are accounted for in water weight, but I have lost one pound purely from walking.

It feels good to be back to my routine and feeling better than ever! Remember to take the time to walk that extra mile because it does payoff!

Keep Your Heart Healthy and Happy

Last Monday I started striving to walk six miles per day again. I have such a busy schedule that it has made it hard so on days like today (when the weather is almost perfect and my schedule isn't as busy) I take advantage of it. I walked 7.09 miles and burned 1,000+ calories. This seems like a lot, but throughout the rest of the week I will be lucky to log 3 miles a day. 

Since February is American Heart Month I adapted the following image from everybodywalk.org. These are just a few reasons why you should lace up your walking shoes and get started today!    

Fast food faux pas

How many times have you been in a rush and stopped through the drive-thru for an easy meal? I am guilty and you're probably guilty too. I remember when I was a senior in high school I would stop every Saturday morning and grab a McGriddle from McDonalds before work. I did that, in total, about six times. One day, while I was at work, I looked down and realized what I was actually eating. Two pancake-ish biscuits, cheese, bacon, egg and syrup. What was I thinking? I wasn't, that's what! I haven't eaten one since 2007. I don't think I will ever eat one again; they are terrible. According to my research a normal adult should intake somewhere around 2,400mg of sodium. A McGriddle has a whopping 1,030mg. That is more than 1/4 of your daily allowance. 

Just in case you're wanting to see the recommendations for vitamins and nutrients here is the link. So, on to the point of this blog: fast food is terrible.. There aren't any fast food restaurants that are better than my cooking.. just saying. A home-cooked meal is usually your best bet when it comes to nutrients. Most foods that are sold in restaurants are preserved, fried or both. Chances are when you cook at home you're not throwing your chicken in a big pot of oil (or at least I'm not).

Now we all know that most countries tend to be a little healthier than America. Anyone recollect deep-fried butter from the Iowa Straw Poll? Have you ever been to a county or state fair and seen a funnel cake or corn dog? Ever walked into a movie theater and seen a snack menu with fried Oreos or a large buttered popcorn (which comes in at a shocking 160 ounces or 20 cups)? That's what I thought. It is more than easy to consume unhealthy foods while living in a country that is on the innovative side of food. Who would have thought, fried Oreos!

Well, I have news for you! America isn't the most innovative food distributor! After discovering a recent article on Yahoo!, I felt the need to do a post about crazy, unhealthy fast food choices not offered in the US. All of these menu items can be found in Japan. Fast food chains most of you are familiar with are on this list. Don't let your jaw drop too much when you read these choices.

3) Get ready

- Chicken breast patty

- Three slices of bacon

- All the fixings 

- Sesame Seed bun

Any of these sound delicious to you? Well, as I mentioned earlier these are served up in Japan, but America has their own fried-up slice of heaven too. Being from the South, I know about fried foods. I freed myself from fried foods for 31 days a couple months ago and after I took a couple bites of the golden deep-fried-to-perfection chicken I felt my stomach rumble. It only took a few bites before I had to stop eating. If I can tell a difference that fast after eliminating my fried-food intake then clearly fried foods effect our body quickly after you chomp down. I obviously felt the need to eliminate these choices from my diet, but after returning to fried foods I have a better understanding of how fast, how bad and how important it is to eliminate (or at least minimize) my consumption.

So, I ask you to think about what you cook up and chow down on. Do you prefer a Big Mac or a Whopper? Do you like pizza or crispy chicken? I leave you with this favor. Fill this SURVEY out for a healthier, happier blog!
