Sometimes you need to mimic one of your favorite candy bars, am I right?!

Sunday Shakeology – Berry Coconut Dream
You may have picked up on the fact that coconut is my favorite thing ever by now. I just love it, I love the smell, the flavor, the feelings it elicits… and it’s not terrible for you! 🙂
Who else is a huge fan of coconut here?
Sunday Shakeology – Coconut Paradise
Does August seem to fly by for anyone else? It’s a slow roll until my birthday, then August comes around and its like the whole month is condensed into just a few days!
I am actively trying to prolong the summer, and since Coconut is my favorite, and instantly transports me to a tropical location, that’s what I am having today!

Sunday Shakeology – Honey Nut Latte
Tis the season for honey! 🙂 I like it because I know several people who extract honey, so I get it locally, and it adds a healthier dose of sweetness!
Plus, honey is absolutely LOADED with benefits, so its goodness on top of goodness here!
Do you like honey? An added bonus is that the exact combination of fructose and glucose in honey actually helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. Some honeys have a low glycemic index, so they don’t jolt your blood sugar, which is A L W A Y S helpful to those of us with Diabetes!
Sunday Shakeology – Creamy Coconut Latte
Pssst… wanna know a secret? I LOVE coconut. Like hands down, if I could pick one flavor, one scent, one taste, this would be it. Coconut has this way of transporting me (if only in my mind!) to a tropical island. It’s like instantly, it transport’s me to a beach-bum state of mind.
And I love it!
It’s super versatile, too. I am a HUGE fan of using it in my Shakeology – coconut water, coconut milk, coconut extract… YUM!
What’s your stance on coconut? Summer only? Year round?
Thirsty Thursday – SO Delicious Coconut Milk
Have you ever had this stuff? It’s so good – it adds just the right amount of creamy texture to my Shakeology!
It’s soy free and dairy free – I try to limit my dairy because I don’t like to drink my carbs. One cup has 7g net carbs, and 7g sugars, but I usually only use a few splashes, so its probably more like 2g Carbs and 2g Sugars each use, for me. Sometimes you just want coconut milk! 🙂
Do you like coconut milk? Do you have any other recommendations for good ones?
