One of my fav healthy + super yummy #lowcarb meals to make! These are super easy, can be prepped in under 10 min, thrown in the oven + voila I've added some tips below as well as another option if you have kids or people in your family (like mine) who do not share the same love of spice as you do. I did make my own homemade organic tomato basil sauce for this but your fav jar of sauce will do!
Ingredients:
1 lb organic ground turkey
Approx 6 yellow banana peppers (or can you Cubanelle peppers if you prefer less spicy)
1 jar of marinara sauce (or approx 2-3 cups)
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (*look for "rBST free" on the label)
1/2 cup of organic breadcrumbs
1-2 tablespoons of dried parsley (or 2-3 tablespoons fresh)
Sea salt & pepper (Pink Himalayan sea salt is my fav!)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cut off the tops of the peppers and make a slit down the middle of one side
Rinse & remove seeds (*be careful NOT to touch your face or eyes, wear gloves if possible)
In a large bowl, add turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt & pepper and mix well with a spoon
Stuff mixture into the peppers and place them (slit side face up) on a baking dish
Bake for approx 40 minutes
While the peppers are baking, warm the marinara sauce on the stovetop
Sprinkle the mozzarella over the peppers and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted, then remove from oven
Plate the peppers, use a ladle to pour marinara sauce on top, then garnish with parsley + enjoy!
Representing our beautiful Mother Earth today + sharing some ways (big + small) we can all make a difference
𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗬𝗖𝗟𝗘 - Kind of an obvious one, but it blows my mind how many people + companies still don’t recycle. More than 8 MILLION TONS of plastic bottles end up in the sea each year & it’s estimated by the year 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea which is pretty damn scary.
𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗟𝗘𝗦 - Instead of buying bottled water, you can buy things like a Brita water filter or my favorite is my insulated tumbler w/ a built-in reusable straw that I use all day + take it with me everywhere I go. Love my Swig!
𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗬𝗖𝗟𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗕𝗔𝗚𝗦 - I learned a few years ago these are ONLY RECYCLED when you take them to a local store (like Target or a grocery store) bc they get stuck in the recycling machines + therefore are NOT recycled. I store them in our pantry then drop them off once a week on my way in the store. And when possible, use reusable bags!
𝗕𝗨𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗪𝗦 - Straws when broken down in the ocean can kill marine life. You can buy reusable straws almost anywhere now.
𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗧 - I was shocked to learn one of the LARGEST contributors of global warming are greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. Not only that, Brazil has burned down over 5.5 MILLION ACRES of the Amazon (also known as “the lungs of our planet”) to make room or more cattle farms to keep up with the demand for beef.
𝗕𝗨𝗬 𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗖 - Pesticides are not only bad for bugs, they can be toxic to birds, fish, beneficial insects, and cause a ton of health problems to humans as well. Buy organic whenever possible, esp foods like fruit, vegetables & wheat, which are heavily sprayed.
𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗩𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬 - If you have items that are still usable, donate them instead of throwing them in the trash.
𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝗨𝗣 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗘𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 - every year on Earth Day, my daughter & I go around our neighborhood and sometimes local parks and pick up anything that’s recyclable. One year we collected over 3 large trash bags worth from trash left behind by construction workers in our neighbor alone.
Let's celebrate #𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗗𝗮𝘆 every day by reducing our carbon footprint!

My husband and I recently discovered Thai food and we are in love with this COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN! SO yummy and takes less than 30 min. You could always use white or brown basmati rice with this, but if you are like me and try to do lowcarb as much as possible (especially at dinner time), you can use cauliflower rice instead and it's just as good and filling. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
INGREDIENTS
3tablespoonscoconut oilseparated
1/2medium yellow oniondiced (1/2 cup)
3clovesminced garlic(1-1/2 teaspoons)
2tablespoonsfinely minced ginger
2teaspoonsyellow curry powder
3tablespoonsred curry paste(I use Thai Kitchen; increase or decrease for desired spice levels)
2teaspoonsground coriander
1largered bell pepper
1poundorganic chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
1canfull-fat coconut milk
1tablespoonlime juice
1-2tablespoons cane sugar
2teaspoonsfish sauce or soy sauce
1/4cup chopped fresh basil (or 1/8 cup dried)
Serve over/with: cooked basmati rice and naan bread with additional lime wedges
Optional: chopped peanuts or cashews
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by prepping ingredients: Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and mince the ginger. I peel the ginger with a spoon or vegetable peeler and then finely mince it. Thinly slice the red bell pepper into long vertical strips and then cut those strips in half horizontally.
Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3-5 minutes or until onions begin to turn golden. Add the garlic and ginger; stir to coat everything with the oil. Lower the heat to low and add in the curry powder, red curry paste, and coriander. Stir often for 2-3 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant.
Return the heat to medium high. Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil and the red bell pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes and then add in the bite-sized pieces of chicken. Sprinkle on salt and pepper to taste (I add 1 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). Cook, stirring often for about 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is browned on both sides, but not cooked through.
Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar (to taste; I start with just 1 tablespoon). Stir until chicken is cooked through (juices run clear and it is cooked to 165 degrees F) and curry is slightly thickened (See Note 1). If desired, stir in the fish sauce.
I lovvvvve these Sweet Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps! They're my new go-to quick & healthy lunch staple and they take almost no time at all to cook and throw together. You can even meal prep these in advance to have ready for the week! Then all you do is scoop some on your lettuce and voila! I prefer using lettuce wraps as they're great way to keep your carb intake down (and in my opinion tastes the best!), but you can always swap the lettuce for a tortilla wrap instead. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! If so, feel free to share!
1cuporganic celery, chopped (make sure to include the celery leaves, chopped)
1cupred seedless organic grapes, halved
1/2cupdried cranberries (aka craisins)
1cupmayonnaise or Greek Yogurt (I used Hellmann's Olive Oil mayo)
Romaine lettuce
1/2teaspoon sea salt (I use pink Himalayan sea salt)
1/2teaspoonground black pepper
Directions
1. Boil the chicken until fully cooked. I don't like chicken salad hot so if I plan on serving it right away, I'll rinse the chicken off with cold water in a strainer for a minute to cool it.
2. I then shred the chicken in a food processor (if you don't have one, you can shred it by hand in a large bowl using two forks).
3. In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, along with the celery (and the leaves), grapes, dried cranberries, mayo, salt and pepper. Stir together until combined and it's ready to serve!
Healthy Tips:
To keep my carb intake low, I love using romaine lettuce for this wrap but you can use soft tortillas if you prefer, or even bread, crackers, pita chips... just about anything!
To lighten up the recipe, you can use Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise.
“Besides an amazing workout?” Joel asks.”I’m going to show you how to work your whole body with every punch, just like the pros in the gym. If you want the shredded, ‘cut’ look, you’re going to sweat for it.”
This 5-days-a-week, 6-week program is built around the simple, precise, and effective principles of boxing — without the impact.
Joel leads you through 3 days of boxing training and 2 days of strength-building workouts with weights that will help you get a true, full-body transformation.
You won’t be hitting a heavy bag or sparring partner. Instead, you’ll be doing it the way boxers spend the bulk of their training time — shadowboxing.
“We’re going to build killer combinations of punches and footwork, with a heavy emphasis on repetition, to create deep grooves of muscle memory,” Joel explains.”I want you to get out of your head, stop overthinking the moves, and let your body do what I’ve taught it to do. All you have to do is give me intensity with every punch.”
The boxing workouts are broken up into 10 rounds, 3 minutes each. You’ll focus on punching combinations and footwork that will progress over the 6 weeks.
The 3 boxing days are combined with conditioning drills that help build:
Power by using body weight to increase lean muscle mass
Speed/agility with fast footwork that will push you into high-intensity spikes of fat burning
Endurance to boost performance so you can burn more calories faster. There will also be some “all-out, burnout drills” where you’ll punch as fast as you can, so you’re completely spent at the end of the round.
You can also crank up the burn by using Beachbody Resistance Loops on your legs to get your stance as strong as possible.
To keep you motivated and MOVING, every workout features music that will drive your rhythm and give you the energy to pack the most into every punch.
The two days of weightlifting workouts include one day of Upper Body to build strength and power and one day of Lower Body/Legs.
As Joel says, “The power behind every punch starts from the ground up.”
Joel also integrates core work into every workout. Your entire core and back will help you punch harder and faster, so you’re getting a maximum workout, every time.

Meet our newest super trainer and the creator of our new program "6 Weeks of THE WORK" launching September 30, Amoila Cesar.
If you’re a basketball fan, the name Amoila Cesar might sound familiar. That’s because in 2017, Amoila became an overnight sensation on Instagram after posting the incredible three-week transformation of NBA superstar, Julius Randle.
Management had famously told reporters that only athletes in peak physical condition would play the following season. So after seeing Amoila’s work on social media, Julius enlisted his expertise.
In just three weeks, Amoila transformed Julius into a new player. Not only was he sporting a brand-new six-pack, but he was lighter on his feet and in the best condition of his career.
Since then, Amoila has become the go-to strength and transformation specialist among NBA athletes and celebrities alike. Jordan Clarkson, Elfrid Payton, Rodney Hood, Bobby Portos, and Jack Osbourne all count themselves as dedicated clients.
My 2 week results (so far)
With his new program, 6 Weeks of THE WORK, Amoila is bringing his gritty, tough-love training style and high-intensity workouts to Beachbody.
But before we get into the program, let’s learn a little more about the man himself.
Family Is His “Why”
As a high school and college basketball athlete, Amoila was committed to staying in shape. “I was always one of the best-conditioned guys and the hardest worker in the room,” he says. “That piqued my interest in fitness.”
However, it was suffering tremendous loss at a young age that compelled him to help people.
“My family is my ‘why.’ Eighty percent of my family is obese. Losing my mother and my grandmother to stroke, chronic disorders, and disease — things that could have been prevented — really drove me to be a trainer.”
Recently, he invited his brother out to Los Angeles for three months and helped him lose 50 pounds. That alone is an impressive feat, but Amoila is proud of the other positive changes it inspired.
“My brother became obese after my mom died. He was suffering from depression, had PTSD, and was on disability from the U.S. Army. Since he’s been getting in better shape, I’ve noticed his mental health improve. Now, he has a job and he’s more engaged with life.”
He’s Going to Show You What You’re Capable Of
In 6 Weeks of THE WORK, Amoila adapted the training regimen he created for his athlete and celebrity clients, so you can work out at home and still get awesome results.
Over six weeks, you’ll focus heavily on functional fitness, performing compound lifts, agility moves, and mobility exercises to help you build a stronger body and prepare you for real-life activities.
“Some people just have ‘show muscles,’” Amoila says. “They look good, but they can’t move well. With this program, you’re going to have both. You’ll be able to sprint down the yard to chase your dog or your daughter. You’ll be able to carry all the groceries inside without making multiple trips. 6 Weeks of THE WORK is going to help you with all aspects of your life.”
Developing mental toughness is also part of the program. Amoila is going to push you harder than you’ve ever been pushed before. But the results will be worth it.
“You’re going to be the best version of yourself by the time you finish,” he promises. “Even your psyche will be contagious. You’re going to rub off on whoever you’re around.”
About the Workouts
There are 36 unique workouts. Five days a week, you’ll do a butt-kicking 45-minute workout. Sweat will drip, your muscles will burn, and your stamina will be tested, but if you want results, you’ve got to commit and hustle every single day. As the weeks go by, Amoila will crank up the intensity by adding new moves and progressing the moves you’ve learned.
You’ll also get one crucial active repair day and one rest day each week. Clean and explicit versions of each workout are available on Beachbody On Demand. To access the clean version, choose the video not labeled “explicit” from the Workouts tab.
What equipment is needed?
You’ll need dumbbells (light, medium, and heavy), Resistance Loops, and Strength Slides. A chin-up bar and Chin-Up Max are optional, but you’ll get way more out of the program if you have them. A mat is optional.
When will it be available?
6 Weeks of THE WORK launches in VIP Early Access on September 30 exclusively through your Team Beachbody Coach.

What Sets Amoila Cesar Apart
Amoila received his bachelor’s degree in exercise science from University of Central Florida, and he’s an NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) and NCCPT (National Council for Certified Personal Trainers) certified personal trainer.
On top of that, he’s also a sports performance and fitness nutrition specialist (ACE) and a weight-management specialist (NCCPT).
While these credentials are impressive, he cites his psychology minor as the most important asset in his career. It’s how he’s been able to motivate his clients to work harder — without them even realizing it.
“I train people from all walks of life. My psychology minor has helped me understand how I can get that dog out of you and push you to the next level.”
6 Weeks of THE WORK Isn’t for Everyone
This is an advanced-level workout program. There's even a fitness test to help determine if it’s right for you.
Don’t meet the requirements? Don’t sweat it. Challenge yourself with another program, then come back and try the fitness test again. Amoila will be ready when you are.
“You’re going to do exercises you never knew you were capable of doing. You might fall short the first time. But this program is for the ones who don’t accept failure.”
