Deep S, Sugar-free, Keto
THM Fuel-Cycle
This week, as you know from my previous post, I am doing a THM fuel-cycle. It is a great way to boost your metabolism and burn off that unwanted layer of “holiday fat”. It also is very cleansing to your system.
I have done the fuel-cycle twice before, and have both lost weight, and felt better afterwards. If you have any interest, just check out the Trim Healthy Mama book, and look for the One Week Fuel-Cycle (Chapter 28. page 429).
The thing is, I have had a hard time finding breakfasts that fit the Deep S guidelines for the first three days of the cycle, that don’t include eggs and bacon.
This recipe is also Keto!
So today is your lucky day, because I made one up!
“What to do with these avocados….”
I stood in my kitchen this morning, and thought, “What am I going to make for breakfast?” Eggs just didn’t appeal to me this morning, so I decided to make up something that would fall in the Deep S category.
As I was thinking about what I could possibly make, I happened to look over at my fruit bowl and saw a bunch of avocados just sitting there, all innocent like. I forgot that I had bought a bunch at Costco. That is where my inspiration came from! These bad boys had no idea what they had coming to them. 😉
And that, brings us to the “secret ingredient”. Avocado! Who would have thunk? And there is yet another secret ingredient that I added….kale and spinach! I know, I know…you’re probably thinking, “Nasty! Those ingredients sound down right nasty!!!”. Trust me, it didn’t sound that appealing to me at first either. But wait for it…
Now, I had read a bunch of recipes that claimed that if you add cocoa to avocado, spinach or kale, the cocoa seems to balance out the flavors and causes it to not taste like those ingredients at all!
Guess what??? They were right! I couldn’t taste anything but chocolate!
Hold the phones!!! “Z, you’re telling me that I can have all my veggies and healthy fats in a yummy chocolate shake?!?!?!”
Ladies…Im telling you, yes!!!
The legend, the myth….the recipe!!
So, there you have it! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I really enjoyed my yummy chocolate shake this morning! It came out so smooth and yummy, thanks to my amazing VITAMIX blender!! Vitamix is having a free shipping event! You should check them out- just click on the link below!!!

After I made my shake, I added Reddi Whip cream to it, and it just made that recipe awesome! You don’t have to add it, but it does give you that “malt shoppe” chocolate shake feel! Why not?!?
Anyways…back to this amazing recipe!
Here it is! Let me know how yours turned out!!
