5 Cinco de Mayo Recipes That Scream Fiesta!

    Cinco de Mayo—a holiday we celebrate primarily to, well, celebrate! Usually abound with tortilla chips and dip, a myriad of taco choices, and those oh-so-tempting margaritas, it’s easy to stray away from the healthy path on this day. Fear not! We have five (or should we say “cinco”?) fiesta-themed Shakeology recipes that will allow you to partake in the festivities while leaving the calories behind!
HEALTHY CINCO DE MAYO
Piña Colada
  • 1 serving Vanilla Shakeology
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup 100% pineapple juice
  • ½ tsp. coconut extract
Strawberry Tango
  • 1 serving Greenberry Shakeology
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen mango
Strawberry-Watermelon Surprise
  • 1 serving Strawberry Shakeology
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup    diced watermelon
  • 2 Tbsp.  chopped fresh mint
Mojito
  • 1 serving Tropical Strawberry Shakeology
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime
Sweet and Spicy
  • 1 serving Chocolate Vegan Shakeology
  • 1 cup unsweetened rice milk
  • 2 tsp. pure maple syrup

For the best taste experience, use a blender and add ice. The more ice, the thicker it gets. Feel free to use any kind of milk or milk substitute (almond, rice or coconut milk)—the more milk, the creamier it gets! Enjoy!
