A new shake mix was on the menu, “FitSmart Shake”, Chocolate Creme. It is Gluten Free, Preservative Free, and No Artificial Ingredients. The nutrition values, in summary, are: Calories: 155, Total Fat: <1g, Total Carbs: 17 g (Fiber=10, Sugars=2), Protein:20g. The taste is very much like the Jay Robb Chocolate Protein that I typically use.
The unfortunate characteristic about these shakes is that they don’t stay mixed for long. Enjoy it QUICKLY.

- Cable mid back row. Two hand overhead extensions.
4 mile run around Proctor Park with Shane.
A new twist on oats. I added 1/4 cup each blueberries and raspberries with 1 tsp maple syrup and cooked up the hot cereal. There is about 1/2 TBS of my granola mix from “Mix My Granola” on top. It’s not pretty but it sure is tasty.
Did you know it’s International Pickle Week? I’m not making that up. To bad I’m not a fan. Oh well. Have a great Wednesday 🙂

I love smoothies but I think they’re much better when made with whole, fresh ingredients. Frozen berries, ground flaxseed, spinach or lettuce leaves, orange juice, and optionally protein powder. Do you ever make them that way, or always use powders?
nomeatathlete: Thanks for your comment.
Because the protein shake is always my weekday breakfast and time never seems to allow
my creativity, I always use the powders. But I bet a shake using all fresh ingredients with yogurt or tofu as the protein base would be fantastic.
They would both make great recipes for next year’s eBook for the Virtual Great American Bake Sale
