I am SUCH a foodie! Although fitness is extremely important to me, so is quality of life and self care. I LOVE to enjoy a well earned treat, after a week of consistent workouts, and Shakeology while keeping with my Portion Fix!
This delicious dessert taste a lot like pie, and would pair well with vanilla ice cream.
I always try to work hard, while not forgetting to love on myself with SWEET rewards.
