Shakeology of the Month
|
STRAWBERRY COCONUT LIME BREEZE
It tastes like dessert, but acts like a vitamin!
Why Shakeology?
We all struggle with food prep and getting all the nutrients we need in life every day. Shakeology solves both of those problems. It literally fills the gaps in our daily nutrition. We still advocate eating clean, colorful, whole foods for your daily meals. Shakeology is a multivitamin in a meal.
It is quick, convenient and filled with vitamins, minerals, superfoods, probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants and protein. It is NOT a diet shake or a quick fix. It is whole food nutrition.
Need Shakeology at home for YOUR family? FREE shaker cup with purchase!

Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Savoy Slaw
All of these ingredients go so well together that you  can make them all part of the taco, mix and match, or choose one ingredient only and eat the rest on the side. It's a very family friendly approach to taco night.
Ingredients:
1 lb. of raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 TBSP oil
Juice of 1 lemon, divided
¼ cup Uncle Bob's Sauce
½ head of savoy cabbage
1 TBSP ground Herb de Provence
1 TBSP red pepper flakes
1 tsp. pink Himalayan salt
3 TBSP chopped chives
4 Peeled corn on the cob
1 can black beans, drained very well
1 tsp. oil
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tsp. ground cumin
8 corn tortillas
4 ears of sweet corn
Special equipment needed: 3 large grill skewers and a grill
Method:
In a bowl, mix the raw shrimp, oil, 1 TBSP of the lemon juice together. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and set aside. Heat your grill to medium high heat, add the peeled corn on the cob and rotate frequently to avoid burning. Cook for about 15 minutes, then add the shrimp to the grill. Turn after about 2 minutes and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Coat the cooked side of the shrimp with a swipe of Uncle Bob's sauce (a vinegar and tomato sauce with spices that is a mix between BBQ sauce and a St. Louis BBQ sauce variety) and remove from grill when shrimp is fully cooked. Set aside.
Meanwhile, while the corn is cooking, slice ½ a head of Savoy cabbage (discarding the tough white core) very thin and add to a large bowl. Toss with the remaining lemon juice, ground herbs, red pepper flakes, chives and salt. Toss well and allow to marinate.
In a small pot, add the drained black beans to the  pot. Using a spatula, smash about ½ of the beans while leaving others unscathed. Add the teaspoon of oil, tomatoes and cumin and mix well. Heat over low heat until the mixture is steaming, but the tomatoes still have some body.
Heat your corn tortillas is a heavy pan and then assemble your amazing meal! Try combinations of black beans topped with shrimp and slaw or just shrimp and slaw or just beans and slaw, you get the idea! Have fun. Serves four (two tortillas and 1 corn per person).

Fitness gives hope, healing & health to anyone who wants it.
Every week at BAC, we celebrate people.
We celebrate people who are first joining us, who are hitting their first milestone, or who are celebrating a huge accomplishment.
We celebrate those who have failed before and want a fresh start.
We celebrate those who want to take control of their health.
We celebrate those who want to stop worrying and find a healthy release.
We celebrate those who have found friends, classes and community.
We celebrate those who have reduced medication and found peace of mind.
We celebrate those who are working out instead of hanging out with trouble.
We celebrate those who are going into retirement with goals for adventure.
We celebrate those who are getting leaner, faster and stronger.

BAC managers celebrating another day of changing lives.

B
AC
has been in my heart, soul and head for more than 12
years. I live it and breathe it and love watching it grow into a crusade far beyond my earliest vision. Our team is world class. Our members transform their lives. It's magical. It deserves celebration.
The more I spend time at BAC and Bay Urban, the more solid I become in our mission to create a happier and healthier community. It doesn't take much to look around and find negativity and poor health. It's everywhere -- from workplaces to headlines to sidelines to homes. But people who make fitness a priority in their life and are surrounded by positivity will pay it forward.
When I think about BAC, I think about how fitness is for everyone. Everyone. No matter your shape, size, age, background, athletic abilities or peer group.
YOU decide to be fit. YOU get to join in. NO permission needed. That is what I REALLY love.
Fitness gives hope, gives healing and gives health to ANYONE who wants it.
Go get it. You deserve it.
PS - There are so many fun ways to stay in shape with BAC this summer. From Yoga on the Beach, to indoor cycle, to boot camps outside to just sticking with your routine. Fitness doesn't take the summer off. Golfing, gardening, camping and fishing... those are GREAT! But don't forget to make time to workout.
