This is the cuteness that starts my days by jumping on the bed and staring at me with the expression "time to go outside!" Just look at those eyes! |
Moving on - so remember my sleepless night on Saturday? I'm still recovering from my lack of sleep. It's always a few days after getting a bads night rest that's the worst for me. I'm drinking kukicha tea brewed then poured over an umeboshi plum this morning - hoping it makes me feel better (one of the macrobiotic things I'm incorporating!)
Yesterday I really needed an energy boost in the morning so I made a breakfast shake. How do you feel about protein shakes? I go through periods where I have one everyday and then I won't have another one for months. Normally I crave them more in the summer when I need something cold and refreshing after working out. However, lately I've been making a shake at least twice a week. I started my day yesterday with brown rice and tossed in some walnuts then made a shake for when I got to work.
Here's what I put into mine:

Here's what I put into mine:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tbs chia seeds
1 tbs flaxseed meal
1 tbs vegetarian protein powder
1 tbs organic peanut butter
4 ice cubes
(sometimes 1 organic banana)
(sometimes 1 tbs cocoa)
And just like that...deliciousness. I generally drink my shake when I first get to work because it keeps me going throughout the morning.
Tell me all about your favorite shake! What are other healthy happy ingredients you like to include?
I never knew there was specific protein powder that is made vegetarian. Learn something new everyday! ;)
ReplyDeleteI found it online! It’s fantastic though – I’d order it again.
ReplyDeleteI need to try that protein powder. The others I've bought have been so gross!
ReplyDeleteRawjuvenate is great! It is slightly sweet and adds a nice flavor to the shake :)
