CLIENT HIGHLIGHT:

Meet Danielle Losier of Montgomery (pictured above).  This little lady is quite the powerhouse, and has been training with us for the past 3 years in her off-seasons for lacrosse.  Danielle attends Notre Dame High School in Lawrenceville, and has been playing varsity lacrosse since her freshman year.  We are so excited to congratulate Danielle as she received a scholarship to play lacrosse for Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT.  She will be majoring in Exercise Science and also has her sights set on incorporating Sports Nutrition, since she understands what it takes to be an elite athlete.  Danielle has been playing lacrosse since she was in the 3rd grade.  Her love for the game and her determination to extend her on-the-field training to include weight training, speed, agility, quickness and explosiveness is what makes her a spectacular athlete.  She’s certainly not afraid of hard work.  When Danielle came to us with a print out from Sacred Heart University outlining summer workouts she was to be working on – along with some specific athletic weight training exercises, we were thrilled she wanted us to be part of her training program.  And what I love most when I was interviewing Danielle is that she said she feels confident and prepared to play a college sport.  That goes a very LONG way.  Wishing you an amazing experience on and off the field at Sacred Heart!  Can’t wait to see you at your breaks!

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT:

“Heart Healthy” Shake Booster – Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels

As many of you know, I partnered with a health and wellness company almost five years ago . . . and although their weight-loss and cleansing program is absolutely amazing, I’ve also fallen in love with some of their other products.  One in particular is the Heart Healthy Shake Booster.  It’s a tiny little scoop (tasteless) you can add to any kind of shake or smoothie, and it promotes healthy cholesterol levels.  I find this extremely helpful as many of us produce too much cholesterol – it’s not necessarily a dietary thing.  So any natural supplements that can assist with healthy cholesterol levels has my vote.  Although I love fitting into a certain clothing size, I am also very concerned with my overall health and wellness.  This is why I decided to highlight this product . . . If you are interested in ordering, you can just give me a call and I can help with your order:  Hillarie 908-403-7620

 !MPACT’s Favorite Recipe Shares . . .

Sweet Potato & Black Bean Veggie Burgers

These sweet and spicy veggie burgers are both vegan and gluten free. For best results, prepare the burger mixture in advance and let it chill in the refrigerator (you can let it chill overnight or longer if you’d like). These veggie burgers don’t have to be served as traditional burgers—the patties are good on their own with toppings like guacamole and pico de gallo or in a salad with Southwestern flavors. Try serving them with corn on the cob in the summer (they grill well, too). Recipe yields 8 patties.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes (smaller potatoes cook faster)

  • ⅓ cup uncooked millet or quinoa (or 1 cup cooked)

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats (use certified gluten-free oats if you are avoiding gluten)

  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained (or 2 cups cooked black beans)

  • ½ small red onion, diced

  • ½ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons cumin powder

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or smoked hot paprika

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne powder (optional, to taste)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • High quality vegetable oil for cooking burgers (or coconut oil, if you don’t mind the coconut taste, olive oil may burn)

  • 8 whole wheat hamburger buns (optional)

  • your favorite burger fixings (avocado or guacamole, tomato or pico de gallo, lettuce, sprouts, ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, pickles, cheese)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the sweet potatoes down the center lengthwise. Place the sweet potatoes cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until they yield to a gentle squeeze, 30 to 40 minutes or longer. Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin (it should pull off easily) and roughly chop the insides. Set aside to cool completely.

  2. Cook the millet: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to boil. Stir in the millet, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until tender (about 25 minutes). Drain off any remaining liquid and set aside to cool. OR cook the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh colander, then combine with ⅔ cup water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to boil, then cover and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let the quinoa steam with the lid on for 5 minutes. Then drain off any excess water and set aside to cool.

  3. Grind the oats: Use a food processor or blender to grind the oats until the flakes are broken up, but not as fine as flour.

  4. Mix the burgers: In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your electric mixer, combine the cooled sweet potatoes and millet, black beans, onion, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, chipotle or paprika, cayenne (optional, add to taste for spicier burgers) and salt. Use a potato masher, big mixing spoon or the paddle attachment of your mixer to mix really well. It’s ok if the black beans get smashed in the process.

  5. Mix in the oats: Sprinkle the ground oats over the mixture and mix well with a big spoon until the mixture holds together when you shape a portion into a patty. If possible, cover and refrigerate the mixture for best results (the patties will hold together better during cooking if they are chilled first).

  6. Shape the burgers: Use a measuring cup to measure out ½ cup of the mixture. Gently shape it into a patty about 3 ½ inches in diameter. Use your hands to gently flatten the burgers and smooth out any jagged edges. Repeat the process for each patty; you should end up with 8. If you would like to toast your hamburger buns, preheat the oven to 350 degrees now.

  7. Pan fry the burgers: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it’s hot, place several burgers in the pan, leaving enough room to flip them. Cook each patty until browned and heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet for each pan of burgers you fry.

  8. Toast the buns (optional): Place the buns on a baking sheet, cut sides up, and bake until lightly toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes.

NOTES  –Adapted from the Cafe Flora Cookbook.  IF YOU’D RATHER BAKE THE BURGERS: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the patties liberally with extra-virgin olive oil, then place them on the baking sheet and bake until the patties are deeply golden on the outside, about 35 minutes, flipping halfway.
FREEZER STORAGE: These burgers freeze well in a sealed freezer bag. To defrost, thaw in the microwave for about 1 minutes or in a 400-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until warmed through. RECIPE BY:  Cookie + Kate

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of SEPTEMBER:

I just LOVE September . . . although I might be one of the few moms that hates when her boys go back to school in September LOL, a structured routine in the fall is always welcome.  So between busy careers, kids, sports, or back-to-school nights, making time to exercise can be tough.  And knowing which kind of a workout to squeeze in can be even more confusing.  You want to make the most of your workout so let us help you by outlining all your workouts for you.  That’s what we do at !MPACT . . . you come in and we handle the rest. Let’s start thinking about how you are going to make more time for your own health and fitness in September so that you look and FEEL your best.  As long as you set yourself up with a plan to exercise regularly and eat clean (85% of the time), you can STILL GET GREAT RESULTS.  Let me help you map out a plan for success.  I would love to offer you a FREE consultation to talk about your health and fitness goals and how we can help you achieve them.   Remember, the only way to fail is to quit.  We will have no quitters here.  Let’s do this!  Please call me if you’d like to set up a FREE Consultation: 908-403-7620 –Hillarie

THANK YOU to George Ghanime, owner of DRX Duct Cleaning, who learned that the Koll family was in need of having their air-ducts and AC/heating vents cleaned so they could bring their son, Chris Koll home from the hospital.  Since Chris is undergoing chemotherapy, it is essential they do all they can to help his compromised immune system, so cleaning out all the duct work was first on the list to reduce the chances of mold, etc.  I told George about the Koll family, and he immediately reached out to them to provide them with service, and he picked up the tab.  George knew that Chris is one of the Steps Together beneficiaries, and he wanted to give back.  Thank you so much, George!  Visit their website: www.NJAirDuct.com
