Day 5 Epic Life

TGIF! 5 days in and going strong with the move more challenge and sticking to the Epic Life plan - no snacking in between my meals and drinking up all my water! 


Breakfast - Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Smoothie

What You Need

• 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
• 2 cup spinach
• 2 slices of beet (you cannot taste it but it covers the green of spinach)
• 1 tbsp Cocoa Crunch Whole Food Sprinkle
• 2 tbsp Torani Sugar Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Syrup
• 5 ice cubes and cold water to consistency you like

What You Do

Balanced with a sliced apple and a gluten free bagel that comes in under 150 calories for the whole bagel - you need to watch your bagel servings cause sometimes the serving size is actually a half bagel and not a full one for that same calorie load! If you'd like to control what's in your bagels Epicure has an amazing perfect portion bagel maker!

I did cave and eat the Evil cupcake for dessert today - and Paul did not lie it was a total mouth orgasm of deliciousness. My hats off to his co worker and her gluten free baking skills! It did however try to slip me into a sugar coma of sleep after supper. I had to get myself up off the couch and move around the house to help regulate my sugar a bit!

Did compete my 3rd day of the May move more challenge! 

Have an amazing day!
