PUMPKIN TRUFFLES
from the Bikini Abs Holiday Edition

Happy Tuesday beautiful!

I know how hard it can be to stay on track during the Holidays. One of the most frequently asked questions I get this time of year is "how do I stay on track when there is tempting food everywhere?".

There are so many options! We discuss all of them in the 8 Week Bikini Abs Holiday Edition program. But I won't leave you hanging here. One tip to get you started right now is to have healthy substitutes. The 8WBA Holiday Edition comes with a Healthy Holiday Cookbook packed with recipe substitutes that taste great. One of our favorites for anyone with a sweet tooth is these Pumpkin Truffles! They are gluten, grain, artificial sugar and dairy free! On top of that we believe that everything you eat should make you better so the sweetener we use actually has nutrients in it. Yessssss! We all win!

Take these to your next Holiday party or keep them stocked in the freezer for sugar cravings. They are crazy simple to make!

    Hi, I'm Steph. Welcome to my website. I'm so glad you're here!

    I hope you take some time to read my blog and get to know me better. You'll see that I'm not your typical 29 year old and have totally turned my life around. I went from overweight junk food addict unhappy with my job, relationships and lifestyle. I now live the life I've always dreamed of where anything is possible with my best friend and fiance Josh traveling the world motivating others to life the healthy lives of their dreams!

    I also hope you get to know some of the amazing people I've worked with and coached like Chris ->
    "I can go a full day without feeling like I need a nap, and mentally I feel all around more positive and focused.  Most importantly, now that I feel like I have taken control of my eating habits, I have lost roughly 40lbs in 4 months. Being in a profession where 10,000 calories are within my reach at all times, it hasn’t been easy to make this change, the reward of it is feeling better than ever; in my body, in my relationships and in my life! - Chris Cote, Chef

    Looking and feeling your best opens up an exciting world of opportunity.  My blog is here to inspire and guide you to live your healthiest, happiest life possible.

    If you have time, introduce yourself to me.  I would love to meet you!

    Live fit and fearlessly,

    Steph
