Turkey & Farro Zucchini Boats

These zucchini boats make a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.

Serves: 4
Hands-on Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1⁄2 cup farro, soaked in water in refrigerator overnight (TIP: Soak farro in enough water to cover.)
• 4 zucchini, trimmed and halved lengthwise
• 12 oz lean ground turkey
• 1⁄2 cup diced yellow onion
• 4 tsp dried oregano
• 1 cup seeded and diced plum tomatoes
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 3 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped, plus additional for garnish
• 2 tbsp unsalted pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds)
• 1 1⁄2 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Drain farro and transfer to a medium saucepan with 11⁄2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes, until tender. Drain excess water.
2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, bring 1 inch water to a gentle simmer. Add zucchini and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Remove zucchini from skillet and with a small spoon, scrape out and reserve flesh. Place zucchini skin side down in an 8 x 10-inch baking dish.
3. Drain water from skillet and wipe dry, then heat on medium-high. Add turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes. Add onion, oregano and reserved zucchini flesh and reduce heat to medium. Sauté, stirring often, until turkey is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in farro, tomatoes and vinegar and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes; stir in 3 tbsp basil. Spoon mixture into zucchini halves. Top with pepitas and cheese and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until cheese melts. Garnish with additional basil.

“I’m Actually Enjoying the Life I Live!”

Meet Erin P.!

 She participated in The Beachbody Challenge and won the $500 Daily Prize for September 25th!

Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?

I had every intention of getting in shape and looking good again. I had given birth to my second child in August of 2013, and was tired of feeling frumpy all of the time. I wasn’t working at the time, and staying home with my kids left me feeling tired and lazy all day. It was hard for me to get up out of bed and actually do things with them. Once I was up and moving I was alright, but getting up was so hard. If I sat back down or took a nap I was done for the day. My poor daughter was three years old and getting up to do anything with her felt like the biggest chore in the world. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until February of 2014 that I actually took action and made the decision to commit myself to a program. That’s when I began my road to success.
 
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?

I knew that if I was going to be working all night and taking care of my children during the day that I needed to get myself together and get in shape. I needed to have a healthy mind and body. That’s when I took action, began drinking Shakeology daily, and followed ChaLEAN Extreme. I also joined a challenge group with my Coach, Jenna Curran. The accountability and support really helped me to continue even on days when I didn’t want to. The pounds started to melt away. I started to tone up. I was hooked.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge?

The greatest challenge I faced before starting the program was simply getting up and getting moving. Not going to work during the day made it easy to sit around and do nothing. After starting a workout regime, I knew what it was like to be productive and how good it felt to get things accomplished. I get myself up every day and do my exercises. My daughter loves to do them with me, and helps to keep me accountable. I feel so much better knowing that I’m setting good examples for my children and truly being the best mom I can be. Beachbody has helped me to give 100% effort to my kids. People ask me all the time how I work nights and take care of my kids during the day. I tell them honestly that it’s because I exercise and drink Shakeology.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?

Physically, I’ve lost 33 pounds, and went from wearing a size 9 to a size 4. I’ve always had pretty strong and muscular legs, but using ChaLEAN Extreme has helped me build muscle in my arms as well. I can do real push-ups, not the modified version!!

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?

I’m no longer afraid to go shopping for clothes or to get into a swimsuit. My self confidence has risen. I no longer worry about what I look like. The biggest, most important change is that I am much more active with my children and in my day to day activities. I’m actually enjoying the life I live!


You can change your life, too. Take the Beachbody Challenge for the ultimate motivation to get fit! Select any Beachbody program and once you complete it, share your results for your chance to win cash and prizes.

Kaycee Pickard on the 3-Day Refresh

Want a Clean Break From Bad Habits?

The 3-Day Refresh will get your body back on the fast track to weight loss and new healthy eating habits

Watch the video above then ask yourself...

What do you want to achieve in 3 days? Do you want more energy? To feel more like yourself again? More like the happy, confident, fundamentally healthy person you know you can be?
Then keep reading...


Meet My dear friend Kaycee Pickard...

Before I started the 3 day refresh  I was struggling with feeling good physically. Genetically I suffer from constipation. I've never been regular and the more food I would eat the more sick I felt. I really just wanted something to help clear out my system.

1. Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?

 My life seems crazy on a daily basis. Between my boyfriend and I we have 5 kids. I dont have much time to myself and when I do have time to myself its spent cleaning and doing all the household chores a stay at home mom has. I also have fibromyalgia which makes some days very difficult for me, mentally and physically. Before I started the 3 day refresh program I felt horrible about myself and my body. Genetically I suffer from constipation. I've never been regular. I don't eat a lot but the more food I would eat the more sick I felt. Ive really just been hoping to find something that would clear me out without all the cramping and running to the bathroom all day. I just wanted to feel better. 

2. What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?

 There are a few factors that inspired me to begin this transformation. That feeling I have everyday when my clothes don't fit and I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror. My sister in law who has mad motivation, runs marathons, works out in her "pain yard" everyday, sometimes twice a day. I wish I had her energy, motivation and mental strength. My great friend Rachael (beach body coach) inspires me because not only is she a mother of 3, she also makes time for herself while helping others reach their goals to become healthy and lose unwanted weight. I really just want to be able to take the time to improve myself so that I feel better, mentally and physically.
 
3. What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and your Coach help you overcome that challenge.

 The greatest challenge I faced before starting this program is always talking myself out of exercise and making excuses of why I need to change my eating habits. Although my eating habits are not horrible, I do need some discipline on portions and sometimes the simple pleasures in life (desserts). I just simply cant eat the things I used to without gaining weight. Lastly, I tell myself because my man loves me the way I am, I don't need to make any changes. While my coach is a whole other state away from me I find it very difficult to follow through with things. I don't have that "physical" person there pushing me. I finally pushed through and finished the program. That was all due to me....pushing myself towards what I wanted.


 4. What in particular did you like about the program you chose?

  What I liked about the program I chose was that it was only for 3 days. That is what I kept telling myself "its only for 3 days, you can do this"


 5. Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?


 Within the 2nd day of the program I lost almost 5 pounds.....I didn't like that I felt hungry but I loved the feeling of not having that bloated tight uncomfortable feeling that I live with on a daily basis. #6 Since the program Ive learned what my body can tolerate as far as certain foods. There are now foods that I wont eat a lot of, like breads and pasta, and sugars. Im still looking for that mental strength and motivation to make time for myself to get the exercise I need to get back to the weight where I feel good about myself. The 3 Day Refresh gave me the jump start that I needed.  I am ready to continue this good feeling. I highly recommend it!

The 3-Day Refresh will get your body back on the fast track to weight loss and new healthy eating habits - guaranteed or your money back (less S/H)!  ORDER YOURS TODAY-->
