Clean Eating Fried Rice Recipe

So this recipe is one of my absolute favorites. I mean I could literally have this meal everyday. I tend to find my best recipes when I take a bunch of stuff in the fridge and just make something with it. So I only had eggs, brown rice, and some frozen veggies so BOOM here came clean fried rice. I'm sure there is some recipe out there for this, but this is just something I threw together. I have had this for lunch the last 3 days. HA HA HA You can totally batch cook and prep this for the week to have for lunches or it's a perfect family dinner option. You can add any veggies you want or protein. Shrimp or Chicken would be perfect to add. 

Serving for One

Ingredients: 

2 Eggs

1/2 cup Frozen Carrots and Peas

1/2 cooked cup brown rice

Light soy sauce or Amino Acids

Olive Oil

Directions:

First take your 2 eggs and scramble them in the frying pan. I like to add some pepper and siratcha for taste. 

Once I am finished scrambling my eggs I take them out of the pan and put to the side. 

I whip the pan out. Pour about 1tbsp of olive oil in the pan.

Once hot I add in my frozen peas and carrots. I add in about 3 tbsp of soy sauce and sauté. 

After a few mints I pour in my cooked brown rice and sauté for another few mins. I add another tbs of sauce sauce. 

Once warm I pour in my eggs mix around, pour on my plate, and top with stratcha. 

If you want to get really fancy like me you can make it into a heart shape like they do at Benihana ha ha ha 

ENJOY!

Exactly How to Batch Cook and Meal Prep for a Week of Clean Eating.

Sooo.. Did you know that Your Nutrition is 80% of where your results come from? I know there are some of you that are totally killing it in the gym. Come on, Cardio Queens where you at? I use to be one of you too! You can cardio your little heart out but if you aren't fueling that body with what it needs then you are wasting your time. You will never get the results you want! I know this because that use to be me. I never lifted weights and I would run through fast food after the gym or eat a big hearty cheesy meal. So I really want to teach you how to set your week up for success. 

This is one of the BIGGEST things that I stress and love teaching my customers about. Meal Prepping and Clean Eating. I share my meal plans weekly in my groups and really focus on this. It's a lifestyle not a DIET! That should be what your focus is. Enjoying your favorites here and there but ultimately living a healthy life that you can easily maintain. I know that we all live busy lives so this makes things so much easier. Doing it once every week or even ever two weeks is going to make your life so much easier, keep you on track, and will save you money. OKAY, did I catch your attention now? ha ha ha 

I normally reserve Sunday's for Meal Prepping and Batch cooking. 

Alright so I'm going to teach you step by step how to prepare your week. This is just what I do but you will get a really good idea on how to prep your week so it's simple to just grab and go. 

Here is what you need to go to the grocery store for: 

Several Packs of Chicken Breast 

Lean Ground Turkey

Eggs 

Bag of Fish either Salmon or Tilapia 

You could also do a bag of Frozen Shrimp

You can do Fresh Veggies or Do Frozen. 

I mix it up. 

I normally have 

Fresh Asparagus 

Fresh Brussels Sprouts

Zucchini

Spaghetti Squash

Baby Spinach

-Honestly Just depends on my menu plan for the week on which I choose- 

Then I'll always grab some frozen Green beans, Stir Fry Veggie Mix, and Peas

If you want to do an egg white omelet 

Mushrooms, Peppers, Onions or Egg Muffins.

Apples

Strawberries

Blueberries 

Brown Rice

Quinoa 

Sweet Potatoes

Coconut Oil

Mrs dash Seasonings

Cayenne Pepper

Cumin

Chili Powder

Tin Foil 

Tara and I prepping our Chicken

1. You want to take a large baking sheet and cover it with tin foil 

This is where you are going to grab your chicken breasts and lay them out on the pan. 

Grab your favorite salt free seasonings and season front then flip and do the other side. 

2. Pre Heat the Oven to 350 and bake for about 30-40 mins until tender. You don't want to over cook. You can use a meat thermometer if you need so you don't over cook it. You want your meat to be nice and juicy. 

Chicken Anyone?

3. While that is cooking, You are going to grab your brown rice. There are Two Ways you can do this

If you have a rice steamer you can load that baby up according to the directions and your rice will just easily cook on it's on. You can add in some fresh herbs to the steamer and it will be delicious. If you don't have a rice steamer you can do this in a pot on the stove. Follow the directions on the bag for water to rice ratio. You want to make a pretty big batch so you have enough for the week or if you are doing two weeks for two weeks. Let the water boil and then add in your rice once boiled. 

Brown Rice Cooking

4. Remember to keep an eye on those chicken breasts, you even may have to suction out some of the juice so it doesn't overflow in to your oven. 

5. It's time to grab another big deep pan and get all of your ground turkey. Toss it into the pan and cook until browned. You can season again with any non salt seasonings. Once done drain out any grease. 

6. Last but not least you have your Sweet Potatoes. You want to scrub these and wash really well. Grab a baking sheet and throw them on and in the oven. These will take a bit of time. Probably about an hour to cook. Just keep an eye and poke holes. Once tender all the way through they will be done. 

This is what our chicken and sweet potatoes will look like when they are all done. Right when you grab your sweet potatoes out of the oven slice them down the middle so they can cool down. Your rice should be finishing up too. But be sure to put your rice on at the beginning because it does take some time to cook. 

7. Once everything cools down it's time to portion it all out and bag it up so you can grab and go. 

Grab your chicken breasts and slice it all up in to bite sized peaces. Grab a cutting bored and get to town. You will have a big bowl of sliced up chicken chunks. that you can just portion out and put in baggies. I use the 21 Day Fix Menu plan in all of my challenge groups and this program comes with portion control containers. This is what I use to portion out my food. If you are interested in doing this program and want a coach contact me here - I would be happy to guide you, mentor you, and support you through your journey. I can help you get all of your stuff and get you set up to make portioning out super simple. 

21 Day Fix Portion Control Containers

So you are going to grab your red container and just start scoop out of your chicken and ground turkey and bagging up each individual portion. That's your protein for the week. If you are doing two weeks you can freeze the other week and then thaw out at the end of week 1. 

After your sweet potatoes cool down you will scoop the filling out of the skins and use your yellow container to portion and baggy up. Grab your brown rice and portion out with your yellow container as well and baggy. These are your healthy crabs for the week. 

Veggies are in the freezer ready to just grab and you will use your green to portion that out. 

#bossstatus baby

Place all your baggies in plastic containers so you can just grab. I baggy all of my chicken and then put it in a container so i can just grab each one. 

This is how I stay on track when i'm traveling, visiting family, or visiting friends. You just pack your food and bring it with you. Super simple. It will change your life! 

My Favorite dish with this is to grab my chicken, sweet potato, peas, or sautéed spinach in coconut oil, and add a blue container of avocado and some hot sauce. Seriously Delish. It's great with Brown Rice too. It's like a Mexican bowl you could do a taco salad too with the ground turkey. So many ideas with it all prepped and ready to go. 

That's pretty much it! Turn up some tunes or put on your favorite movie and spend the next hour or two setting your week up for success! You got this ... You can totally do this! Your life will be CHANGED and you will feel amazing.

Clean Eating Spaghetti and Meatball Recipe - Kid Approved

Last night I made the family Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs and added in a little veggie twist. The girls loved it and ate up every bite. This meal was quick, simple, and healthy. 

I don't make my girls different meals than what I eat, they eat what I eat or don't eat at all. To me it's important for my girls ti know the difference between what's healthy and what's a treat. I quiz them on what foods are healthy. I am ending the trend of obesity at a young age. Of course I let them have their treats and we have pizza and ice-cream nights but that's a treat. Their health is important to me and your kids health should be important to you too. I dare you to try this recipe and see what your kids think. If they are turned off by the veggies in the sauce then blend it up. Guarantee they won't even taste them. 

Ingredients: 

100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti Noodles

2 Cans of Organic Plain Tomato Sauce 

1 Zucchini

2 Whole Carrots

1 Container of Lean Ground Turkey

Italian Seasoning 

Garlic Powder 

Pepper 

1/4 cup oats 

Directions: 

Fill a pot full of water 

Bring to a boil

Place in Noodles 

Drizzle in a little bit of Olive Oil 

Boil and cook until soft 

While the noodles are cooking

Put your Ground Turkey in a bowl 

Mix in seasonings and oats 

Make into meatballs and place in greased warm pan

Let cook for a few mins and the turn over meat balls

While the meat balls are cooking slowly chop up your zucchini into small pieces and your carrots 

Turn down heat on meatballs and pour in cans of sauce. Add in veggies. 

Toss in some more garlic powder and Italian seasonings in the sauce and cover for about 15 -20 mins on low. 

Turn off heat on noodles, drain, and serve!! 

ENJOY! 

I know my kids LOVED this meal!! 

Team Beachbody Leadership Retreat!

About a month ago I had the honor of attending the Team Beachbody Leadership Retreat with the top leaders of the company. Oh and the cool thing was that I had my room completely paid for and an additional $350 travel cash. I didn't do anything special to earn this, I just did my job. Showed up daily, helped my challengers get results, and mentored my team to duplicate what I do daily. The retreat was in a BEAUTIFUL resort in Scottsdale, Arizona and I was seriously blown away with how beautiful for this place was. I was in complete shock that I was even there, with some of the BEST people in the world, with an amazing company who truly cares about giving back to their coaches. Seriously feels surreal every time I attend one of their events. They always go above and beyond. 

This event is done yearly at a different place every year for 2 Star Diamond and above and have qualified by earning a certain amount of Elite points. Being a 2 Star Diamond Coach means that you have successful sponsored 2 of your Personally Sponsored Coaches to Diamond Rank. The training is all about networking, and providing the leaders of the company with advanced training to grow our businesses, manage our time effectively, communicate with others, and expand our market. We also get pretty cool insights on new programs coming out and trainings that are provided. The retreat is 2 days packed full of seminars with top notch speakers sharing their tips on success, celebrity workouts, and mingling parties in the evenings where you get the time to get to know the other leaders in the company. If you have never been to the Fairmont Princess in Scottsdale, I highly recommend it. GORGEOUS is an understatement. 

This was the FIRST year that I qualified to attend this event and I felt so BLESSED to represent my team and show them that this is totally possible for them to do next year. If I can do this ... So can they and I'm going to show them how. 

The first night there, I was in total relaxation mode and was just trying to explore the place. It was so huge. We got their a day early so that we could have some down time. The best part was meeting up with my life long friend that I met through this amazing coaching opportunity. I seriously am so blessed to have such a beautiful friend who just gets me. We met on the Beachbody Success Club Cruise Trip in March and every since then have hit it off. 

Beachbody Besties

I know that this is only the tip of the iceberg for my team. I am leading this path and showing them the way to success. If I can make it to leadership they can too. I want them to know that and believe that. I'm not different than anybody. I'm a normal mom, with dishes, laundry to fold, and errands to run. I know that next year I will have at least 5 of my personally sponsored coaches with me at the Leadership Event. That's my goal and next year I will dedicate myself to helping my coaches earn this trip because I know how much it meant to me to go this year and how much it is WORTH it. 

Friday morning we woke up to a workout with Autumn Calabrese doing her new workout program that will be released in February 2015 called 21 Day Fix Extreme. It's the next step after doing the 21 Day fix program if you want to take it to the next level. 

Our attempt at a Dream Team Pyramid! HA HA HA 

This is what I love about Team Beachbody

I love exactly what it stands for. They stand for integrity. They don't want to just create a bunch of products full of CRAP or that don't work but WE hold a true mission statement. To help FULFLL and improve the lives of others. To end the trend of obesity. We have wonderful values and along with that an amazing business structure. We are able to help Beachbody fulfill this mission as a coach each and everyday by running challenge groups, new coach trainings, and leadership trainings. 

Goals are created to fulfill to this mission statement. 

After our workout it was time to head in for some trainings given by the top coaches of the company and some celebrity speakers they brought in for us. We also got to hear about the new programs that will be released in the next 6 months. 

Shannon and I ready to get our training on. 

I will tell you that there is some AWESOME new stuff coming out in the future that has me pumped!!

Brand new program by Shaun T will be released December 2015 called Insanity Max: 30 

Insanity Max 30 Coming out Live December 2014

There is another exciting workout program coming in February of 2015 by Autumn Calabrese called 21 Day Fix Extreme!! This is the NEXT step after the 21 day Fix. I am seriously PUMPED for this workout program!! 

21 Day Fix Extreme  coming out February 2015

After some amazing sessions through out the day, an awesome lunch that Beachbody Provided for us, and a great workout that morning, it was time to get ready for a night of mingling. It was seriously the cutest little party. They even had a Donkey set up for us to take pictures with and some amazing appetizers. They know how to make us feel loved and spoil us. 

Dream Team at Friday Night Mingle Party! 

Autumn Calabrese and I at opening ceramony

The next morning we woke up to another sunrise workout with Autumn Calabrese. She always knows how to kick our butt and make us SWEAT! Love her live workouts.

Team Bonding in the Pool 

             It's always a good time with these people! We understand each other, we are the 5 % who are "WEIRD" and like to go against the flow. We follow our dreams and we know we are made for much more. When it's time to put our heads down and get to business we do what it takes but when it's time to be goofy we totally know how to do that too :) 

We kind of like to have a good time

Another awesome thing Beachbody rewarded us with was some wear and share. They came out with some new gear for every time you hit a new rank in the business and they gave us the gear for our rank in cute little gift boxes that had our names on it. 

The adorable shirt stating that i'm a 3 Star Diamond Coach

So do you want to know what I learned for this experience!?!? 

That I am never leaving this company and that I am LOYAL to them and plan on being around for a long time coming. I love everything that they stand for and love representing a company that holds a strong mission statement. A company that wants to help us succeed in our businesses and honestly believes in the products that they deliver. For the next 2 months of this year I am dedicating all of my time to not only help people get in the best shape of their life but help every single one of my coaches succeed and achiever their personal goals. I want to give all of my time to my team and my challengers!! I want to bust my butt to help others feel fulfilled. 

This whole thing isn't just bout ME it's about WE as a team!! I love Team Fit Fighters! Next year in California we will have at least 5 Team Fit Fighter coaches if not more. This is only the beginning for us. Together we have built an organization that is PASSIONATE about helping others and have built our team to #70 out of over 200,000 coaches. That means something! It happened because we put other peoples needs before our own. 

These next few months i'm putting my head down, pencil out, paper ready and creating some systems to increase my coaches growth in their business and decrease the fear and anxiety that may come with this business in the beginning. No frustration -- I got your back!! 

So here is my question for you!! 

Have you ever thought about becoming a coach? Do you like helping other people? To want to MEAN something to someone else and inspire others to live up to their full potential? 

I want to help you be successful so that you can join us on our next trips! So that you can help us fulfill our mission statement in helping others. 

Please complete this application below to get into my next 30 day new coach Bootcamp starting November 3rd, 2014. I only have a few more spots open so do not delay. 

Also I am hosting an informational session via youtube tomorrow at 9:00pm EST. 

You can watch right from the comfort of your home, ask questions, and get answers.

To Join the Mission: Become the Best Version of YOURSELF Challenge Group Starting October 20th complete the application below!

Mission: Become the Best Version of Yourself!! Transform your LIFE and BODY!!

It's coming in to the holidays and I know that normally means it's time to forget about YOU and focus on everyone else!! NOPE, not this year!! As a Mom, Wife, and Business Owner I know how easy it is to put yourself on the back burner and just forget about YOU until you look in the mirror one day and don't recognize yourself. You haven't showered in three days let alone have time to fit in a workout. 

Well i'm asking you to do this one little favor for yourself TOGETHER ... Let's Become and FIND the Best Version of YOU!! You know it's time and if you are reading this then chances are you really really need this. Don't you want to feel confident, healthy, beautiful, and amazing in those skinny means, that holiday outfit, or that cocktail dress? I can feel you on this one, I've been there. I remember trying on every pair of jeans in the closet only going back to my yoga pants because that means I could hide the fact that nothing fit and gave me a muffin top. I totally get the struggle!! 

Sleep is something that is a luxury, your kids are running around like animals and you are doing everything you can to precent them from killing each other, you aren't ready to spend the money on a fitness program that is just going to sit and collect dust, and you really don't want to make the investment on Shakeolgoy because you aren't sure you are even going to like it. 

Before committing to my own challenge group, I didn't see what the big deal was with this Shakeolgoy stuff. I was fine with my daily protein shake that cost a fraction of the price, until I wanted to see for myself what the HYPE was about this stuff. I decided I would give it a shot for 30 days. 

Wanna know what happened next!??! I committed to 90 days of TurboFire, I committed to my challenge group and checking in daily, I learned everything I could about clean eating, I replaced one meal a day with Shakeolgoy, and BOOM lost 40 pounds in 90 days. My complete lifestyle changed in only three short months and it also transformed my families life. My girls know the difference between a healthy meal and a junk food meal. They totally call me out when something isn't healthy or good for them. I cooked more meals from home, we felt better, had more energy as a family, and truly know how to fuel our bodies. This change in MYSELF not only changed ME and helped me become my own best version but also my family and friends, everyone around me.

As I watched myself and my life transform it has truly inspired me to help other families and women do the same thing for themselves but also for their family and friends. To become the BEST version of you. To feel and live the way you were MEANT to live. You deserve to wake up with energy and to LOVE every bit of yourself. You owe it to your FAMILY!! 

So here is what I'm going to do!! I'm going to teach you how to make exercise a part of your LIFESTYLE I'm going to teach you how to plan healthy meals, create a weekly meal plan, prepare healthy snacks, stay motivated over the next 60 days, and find your HEALTHY balance between the holiday treats and your new lifestyle. I know the holidays are coming up and it's much harder at this time. This is the time that most of us throw this type of lifestyle out the window and wait to start in the New Year but seriously do you want to be 10 pounds heavier!??! You can use the 80/20 rule, stay on track, enjoy the treats in moderation, and loose weight. I can show you how! 80% of the time you will be eating clean and 20% of the time you get to enjoy the little extras this time of year offers you. 

Together we are going to look at your week and pick and choose what's most important, what you are going to STICK to, and where you plan to enjoy. 

We are aiming for a LIFESTYLE not a Quick Fix or a Diet but something you can MAINTAIN forever and always!!! Enjoy the best of BOTH worlds. 

So you are thinking ... YES, that sounds awesome I totally want to do this 

What do I have to do!??! 

Requirements: 

1.  You are required to have ME as your COACH through Team Beachbody.

2.  Then together WE pick a fitness program through Team Beachbody that fits your needs. It does not matter what your ability level is, I have something for you!

3.  You are REQUIRED to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology ONLY for the duration of the group.

How to stay to on track with your Health and Fitness goals while on Vacation!

Finally in Texas after 10 hours of traveling! 

These last three weeks I have been on total vacation mode and visited 3 different states. A lot of my challengers and friends have been asking me how I stayed on track. I'll totally admit that I wasn't 100% on track. I had more drinks than I normally would and more treats but I definitely had a little system that I used so that things wouldn't get totally out of control. 

Vacation visiting friends and family! 

So my First stop was Texas, my hometown, to visit friends and family for about 6 days before it was time to head on to Arizona for Beachbody Leadership. 

Here was my Vacation GAME PLAN and How I stayed pretty close to on track over the three weeks. 

I packed all of my workout gear. I always make room in my suitcase for workout gear. It goes everywhere I go. It's pretty much like bringing my toothbrush with me. It's something I can't forget. 

Sports Bras, Shorts/Capris, Tank Tops, Socks, and Shoes. 

I packed my workout DVD's and made plans with friends to go running and workout. 

If you are going to a hotel you can also make sure that the hotel has a gym and everything you need before booking. This is always HUGE in my book and a must. 

Target Fun with one of my best friends and the kiddos! 

Instead of carrying around my bag of Shakeolgoy I ordered the packets because they travel much easier and you can just toss them in your purse and GO! I had my shaker cup with me on the plane for an easy meal and if you MUST have a blender the Mini Hamilton one is awesome to travel with. It has a detachable cup with the blender. If you only have a bag the best option is to get the baby formula containers and fill that up. That works AWESOME for carrying your Shakeolgoy around -- MESS FREE! 

Shakeolgoy to the RESCUE! 

In my purse I stocked up with the little 100 cal packets of all natural almonds and quest bars. A lot of the places in the airport had little containers of fruit and veggies so I grabbed those in between layovers. It was PERFECT instead of resorting to the JUNK that the food service offers. Also grabbed big bottles of water to make a Shakeolgoy and drink. 

Once I got settled at my parents house for the week I had my list ready to head to the grocery store: 

I grabbed some ground turkey

Tuna

Cheese sticks

Apples

Strawberries

Greek yogurt

Baby Spinach

Balsamic Vingar

Mrs Dash Seasonings

Pinto Beans

Quinoa

100% whole grain bread

Egg Whites 

Hummus 

Baby Carrots

Turkey Bacon

Texas Grocery Shopping!! 

I made a big batch of pinto beans, ground turkey, and used 1/2 taco seasoning to make some taco meat and had that over salads for dinners and lunches. 

For snacks I had cheese sticks and nuts, Quest bars, Hummus and carrots, Egg Whites

Depends on where i'm going for the day. But I'll normally toss all of this in my cooler to take with me. Makes things super simple. 

Breakfast was Shakeology or Egg whites with Turkey Bacon and baby spinach. 

Lunch I would normally go home to have or would pack a cooler. I love things that are quick and simple while out of the home. Tuna packs are the BOMB! I mix that with greek yogurt, avocado, and sliced almonds. Then have it in a wrap, open face sandwich, or over a salad. Totally refreshing and DELISH! 

Of course while on Vacation you are going to go out to eat a lot more and that's totally okay. It's okay to splurge every once in awhile but if you have goals in mind you can still do a great job! 

Skip the bread

Ask for steamed veggies with out butter

Substitute french fries and backed potatoes for steamed veggies or a side salad. 

Dressings always on the side or sauces. 

Don't stress just try and pass on the OBVIOUS calories that you can control and move on. 

Do I have Ice cream, Alcohol, and desserts ... YOU BET I DO! I totally had some extra treats while on vacation and I didn't feel bad about it. I made sure that I got my daily workouts in and had a healthy balance. 

Pick and CHOOSE what you really want. You can't have it all .. so pick the things you most want! 

Fuel your body for ENERGY, enjoy the little things but remember you don't live to EAT you EAT to LIVE! 

Vacation Accountability

Repeat after me .... WORK OUT ... Don't skip it .. Don't make Excuses -- GET UP AND JUST DO IT! Your workout shouldn't be something you DREAD it's something that makes you feel good, puts you in a good mood, and gives you energy for the day. Remember that when your brain is telling you NO, just keep sleeping. Your day will go so much better and you will feel so much better with a good workout in! You aren't worried about loosing weight while on vacation but you want to maintain what you have already worked so hard for. Wake up and feel STRONG and know that you are an overcomer and you CAN do those things that others won't because you are WORTH IT! 

Packed T25 .. Yes I killed it! 

Make your vacation FUN!!! Working out and Eating Clean should be a part of your life that you LOVE because of the way it makes you feel. It shouldn't be something you dread. Don't stress if you have an extra serving or have that ice-cream. Life is all about BALANCE and enjoying it! 

It's your LIFE and you don't have to eat anything that you don't want to. Ask for the food that you want, get creative with your workouts, but most of all HAVE FUN!! You only have one life might as well be in LOVE with it.
