Rockin' Tortilla Soup (in only 5 minutes!)

Did you know that the very first Trader Joe's was in Pasadena? Well, lucky for everyone else, TJ's has expanded throughout the country and with good reason. I love Trader Joes! Today I've got a super easy, super quick recipe for you. Using Trader Joe's ingredients, this recipe requires no preparation and can be made within 5-10 minutes. Perfect for this chilly and busy time of year!

For those of you who don't have a TJ's, you can sub out with your favorite ingreds from your local store. While I don't normally like to eat canned food items, this recipe is just too delicious and too easy. Just make sure to rinse off the items before adding them to your soup and always buy organic!

Ingredients:

1 Box Organic Free Range Chicken Broth

1 Jar Trader Joe's Chunky Salsa

2 Cans Organic Black Beans

1 Cup Trader Joe's Frozen Roasted Organic Corn

1 Can of Premium White Chicken or 2 Boiled Organic Chicken Breasts (preferred)

Garnish:

Avocado

Cilantro

Mexican Blend Cheese (optional)

Corn Tortilla Chips (optional)

To Make:

Combine all items in a large pot over medium heat. Stir well. When soup has reached desired temperature, ladle into a bowl and garnish with avocado, cilantro and cheese (tortilla's optional). 

How's that for easy? If you'd like to make this dish even more healthy, you can place all ingredients with raw black beans, raw corn and uncooked chicken into a crock pot and let it cook for the day...

Thanksgiving Swaps

As we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, we wanted to share a few easy swaps so that you can give more thanks with less guilt this year! Keep coming to class and one day of indulging won't show on the scale. Also, consider making these healthier choices when it comes to filling your plate...

Don't forget to give thanks for your amazing body this year. If you're not %100 satisfied with your physique, be grateful that you have the ability to change your body into one that's Rockin'. If you've been Rockin' it all year, give thanks for the transformation that's happened. If you're not where you want to be right now, give thanks that you can Rock your body next year! It's never too soon to start on those New Years resolutions and it's never too late to make a change.

Our schedule will be modified for the holiday (be sure to check the schedule here), but get ready to Rock It again on Friday and over the weekend! And bring your friends and family, because the only thing better than Rockin' out by yourself is Rockin' with a friend!
