21 Day Fix transformation- inside & out

This is my fellow coach, teammate, and dear friend Kimberly Bell transformation.  Look at this girl - she is AMAZING!

Kim and I use to work together a few years ago at a charter school.  She is the most caring person I know and has just the most AMAZING energy a person could have.  

Kim’s transformation began a year ago.  She’s a single mom to a wonderful son, works full time, and is devoted to her son and his love for basketball.  A year ago, she decided it was her time to make a change for herself.  Kim was sick and tired of who she was becoming (dealing with the loss of her mother to breast cancer in unhealthy ways) and decided it was time for her to make a change! 

So she bought the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology and fell in LOVE with the program (she calls it her soulmate workout program), shakes, and support that comes along with the Beachbody community.  Kim had tried other fitness programs at home, but fell bored of them or just lost motivation because no one was there to keep her accountable.  With just 30 minutes a day, joining a free challenge group, and drinking her shakeology, she was able to lose 63 lbs.  Not only did she lose this weight, and looks FABULOUS, but she was able to gain clarity to become healthier financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
   
Now Kim is paying it forward by inspiring others and showing them that YOU CAN DO THIS!  I am so PROUD of this girls transformation - inside and out.  And BLESSED  that our friendship is stronger now than ever before.


Ranch Chicken Skillet




Boy- this dish was PACKED with bold flavors that will not disappoint the taste buds.

It is a one dish meal that was quick and easy to make! All you do is chop, mix, cook, & eat!! Definitely a WINNER at this house.




Ingredients:

(Not pictured: cheese, olive oil, pepper)

2 tsp olive oil
1 lb thin sliced chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped (I used orange & red)
1 large zucchini, chopped
1/2 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup instant brown rice (uncooked)
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
fresh cilantro, for garnish

Ranch seasoning:
1 tsp dill
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried minced onions
1 T parsley
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions:

1. In a 12 inch skillet, heat oil on medium high.  Add chicken, onions, and ranch seasoning blend.  Saute and stir often for 2 minutes. 




2.  Stir in bell peppers, zucchini, beans, tomatoes, rice and chicken broth.  Bring to a boil, then cover.  Simmer on low for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and rice is tender.



3.  Sprinkle cheese evenly over skillet, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.

4. Top with cilantro and serve!

21 Day Fix containers: 1 serving = 1/4 of the skillet.  1 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 1/2 green
