It’s less expensive and you know the ingredients you are getting are non-gmo. This is becoming a new favorite Shakeology recipe of mine. Here is the recipe: 1/2 tsp coconut extract 1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 cup cold coffee 1 scoop chocolate or chocolate vegan shakeology Blend all of the ingredients together and enjoy!

Confession: I LOVE going to aquariums! They are seriously one of the coolest things to me! So, naturally, when the opportunity came up to visit The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, I jumped on it! Living in Knoxville, Chattanooga is just 2 hours away which makes it a great destination for day trips or a nice weekend trip if you want to get away. I’m only focusing on the aquarium today, but I can see a more in depth blog post in the future! The aquarium itself is split into two buildings: River Journey and Ocean Journey. Each building is multiple…
