Simple Coconut Chicken Curry (Paleo)

I love chicken curry!!! 

I need to explore Hawaii some more for some good curry.  Currently missing my favorite spot in NC to get my curry, but this will do!  You won't believe how easy this is!  Can be done in about 30-40 minutes and thats with no prep work.  






Ingredients: 
1 can full fat Coconut Milk 
2-3 TB Green Curry Paste 
1 TB Garlic Powder
1-2 TSP grated ginger 
1 LB Chicken Breast (cut into cubes) 
1 Bag Frozen Broccoli


Directions:
Put the Coconut milk through the grated ginger in a dutch oven or large sauce pan and heat through for about 5 minutes on medium heat.  Add Chicken and cook for about 15 minutes.  Add Broccoli and cook until broccoli is warmed through (another 5-10 minutes).

Done!! 

Remember:  You can mix up the veggies in there.  Add some peppers and onions or spinach.. whatever you like!  Serve with rice or quinoa 

I served mine with quinoa and  pan fried plantains. 

 For Plantains:  Peel green plantains slice in half.  Put enough coconut oil in a skillet (medium heat) to lightly cover the bottom.  Slice plantains in half and fry a couple minutes each side.  Take out and place between 2 sheets of wax paper and flatten the plantains (I use a can to do this).  Put back in the skillet and fry a couple minutes on each side again until golden brown.  I sprinkle with salt and a little garlic powder

It's Been 2 Years?!

2 years ago around this time, I made a decision that changed my life.....

 Although this choice I made has so many other aspects that has helped me in my life, Im only going to dive into one.

2 years ago I became a Beachbody Coach.  I know, you're probably thinking - oh geez here we go, but let me tell you.. I was a skeptic.  I joined as a coach because I was passionate about helping people to reach their weight loss goals.  Beachbody had the total package with a workout program, a dense dose of nutrition with Shakeology, a private challenge group for support and motivation, a chance for me to make meal plans for my challengers, and I could help them 1 on 1 through it all!  The only downfall, I had not tried the programs yet.  I was a gym rat and I decided to only supplement with the Beachbody programs.  Although I did see results, inside I wasn't a complete believer - I needed to just do Beachbody programs to prove to myself anyone can do this!

I found out I was pregnant with my son in this picture and thought I was at my top shape! 


Enters God - Which who am I kidding, HE was always there!
My hubby and I got unexpected orders to Hawaii and set to arrive when my son was 7 weeks old.  I was scared.  I was going to have to live in a hotel for months and the local gym wouldn't take my son till he was 6 months.  This is the moment when I had to trust the Beachbody way.  Let me tell you - I was never disappointed.



For years I had spent hours in the gym and while seeing results I have now realized I was wasting a bunch of time too.  During this past year I have at most worked out 45 minutes but for the most part its just been 30 minutes.  I really don't have time,  nor do I desire to do more!  I have kids, a job, and a house to take care of.. I need fast and effective.  While I have dabbled in multiple programs (P90X3, Chalean Extreme, Body Beast, Piyo).. the true game changer has came with 21 Day Fix.  A portion control container system that teaches you how to build a balanced plate and 30 minute effective workouts incorporating weights.  The regular Fix and the Fix Extreme have really changed my life.  Let's face it, we all have nutrition struggles!  I remember coming off of Whole30 and thinking I was at my peak of healthy - then I followed with 21 Day Fix (paleo Style) and I lost 5 lbs in the first week.  Why?!  No, I was not starving myself.  I was eating too many healthy fats and meat, which adds tons of calories.  Just by learning how to portion those better, I got closer to my goal.

My personal goal this year was to get in the best shape of my life and have a family fitness photo shoot.  I just reached my goal at 15 months postpartum and thanks to 21 Day Fix Extreme!  It really gave me that push I needed! So remember...

You can get in your best shape after kids, after 30, only working out 30 minutes a day, and without a gym membership.
