1. Layer one: Start with the dressing. Always put the dressing at the bottom.
2. Layer two: Non-lettuce veggies. Here you’ll want to put veggies that will not absorb the dressing (such as carrots, bell peppers)
3. Layer three: Soft veggies: ie. tomatoes, cucumbers
4. Layer four: Proteins/Beans
5. Layer Five: Romaine lettuce/leafy greens

So Summer is almost here. Today is DAY 1 of my March challenge group! Cohosting it with my amazing friend Kymberly Erickson. Set a goal myself to lose a few more pesky pounds. So committed to pushing play for the next 3 weeks, eating healthier, and drinking my favorite superfood shake everyday. 

21 Day Fix Mexican Lasagna

Dice the peppers and onions. Heat oil in a large skillet and add diced peppers and onions and cook until tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Brown your ground meat in the skillet until almost done. Add chiles to meat and finish cooking through. Add cooked onions and peppers to meat mixture, along with southwest seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Layer the remaining 6 tortillas on top of the meat mixture. Repeat spreading the refried beans and remaining meat and vegetable mixture.

Hey there!! Let's talk about that big fat elephant in the room. 

The thing that you're kinda curious about but legit don't understand why it costs more than the powdery stuff for sale at Wal-Mart today. 

A lot of people ask about Shakeology...and why they cant just use protein power instead of "that shake."

Here's the honest gosh darn truth. 

I have a degree in Health Education but am not a nutritionist. I am not a fitness expert. I am Definitely not a doctor.  

I am a coach who has found tools that makes it easier for me to keep motivated and help challengers get real results. And Shakeology is part of the TOOLKIT. It helped me lose that pesky weight I've been carrying for years now. So I GLADLY recommend it to help my challengers get the results that I myself have achieved. 

Shakeology is nutrition simplified. 
Shakeology fills in the gaps. 
Shakeology is NOT a diet shake. 

I am a coach who reminds you why you want to make a change, and occasionally will smack the bag of Dove chocolates  out of your hand {virtually of course} and also tell you to like push play. 

I give accountability, support, tough love, and kudos.

If you're consistent with your nutrition and exercise, it will work for you! But you have to use the tools that have PROVEN to be successful...and Shakeology is one of the tools! 

This is a no brainer. It works!
100% guaranteed or your money back no questions asked!!
