Oh hey! I'm back!

With life finally getting back to normal I have really missed blogging and recipe testing! I am starting to eat a more vegetarian meal plan in a effort to drop my last 20 lbs so I guess we will see how that goes. So as time goes on I am going to try and blog daily meal plans and post recipes here and there of things that have come out really well and probley those that did not come out so great.

Yesterday for breakfast I concocted a delish new protein shake. It's green and milkshake like and I like to call it Pistachio Dream.

Here is how you make it.
In a blender ( I use my Ninja) combine the following:
8oz Almond milk or your milk of choice
2TB sugar free Pistachio pudding dry mix
1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
4 ice cubes

Mix up and enjoy! I like to top mine with a little sugar free whipped topping.

If you try this let me know how you like it!

Very Berry Protein Shake

Post WLS I still love my protein shakes. I am always trying new combinations of powders, fruits, add in's etc. Since I am working on recipes for the center newsletter I have been taste testing some new creations. Here is one of my favorites: Very Berry Protein Shake!

Here is what you need:

1 scoop Vanilla protein powder- any kind you like

3 strawberries - I use Fresh fruit but you can always use frozen!

1/4 cup blueberries

1/2 medium size Peach 

1TB Sugar Free Vanilla Torani (optional)

3-4 Ice Cubes

Squirt of Sugar Free Whipped Topping (optional)

Put all ingredients into your blender except for the whipped topping and blend until combined.

I like to put mine in a pretty glass and top with some whipped topping and a few pieces of fruit. If I am making it a meal, I want it to not only look good but taste good too. You do eat with your eyes first after all!

If you try this recipe let me know.... and if you have any combo ideas pass them along, I am willing to try just about anything!

I think next up will be something chocolate, peppermint, and ....?
