New Protein Powder and Smoothie

Good Morning!

It is Wednesday, middle of the week, hump day and only 2 days until Valentine's Day and more importantly my day off! And the last one is a big one, considering last week I thought I was going to be off and then BAM, taken away from me. Considering we are done watching Breaking Bad, we weren't up until 3:00 am, so I was up at 8:00 am, ready to go. Surprising for once, usually I want to just sleep in.

I took advantage of the morning and went out and got 4.14 miles in. I ran just around our neighborhood here and the weather is a bit weird, overcast and windy, but it was a great run. My legs felt a bit stiff, since I ran 13.1 on Sunday and then worked back to back days. After my run, James was still sleeping so I made myself a protein shake/smoothie. I actually thought about it the whole time I was running, I was running home just to make it.

My boss let me know of this protein powder from EAS. It is lean and toned 15 protein powder and for two scoops it is only 100 calories or 3pp. FANTASTIC!!! Most protein powders are almost close to 200 calories, but this one is half that with great, great stats. They come in two flavors, Vanilla Cream or Chocolate Fudge. I got the vanilla because I felt I could use that flavor more to mix fruit or veggies with, while the chocolate fudge I would use more for baking. The whole container runs about 20.00 dollars and I found it in the nutritional aisle at Publix.

I picked this up last night after my Weight Watchers meeting and used it this morning post run.

Neapolitan Smoothie/Shake

2 scoops EAS Lean 15 and Toned Protein Powder (Vanilla Cream)
1 cup of Blue Diamond Unsweetened Chocolate Almond milk
6 medium or small cut up Strawberries
1 cup of ice



Put all in a blender, smooth down, sip and enjoy!

I am all about quantity at times, rather than quality, but this smoothie/shake was big and filled up my 20 oz GNC cup. I don't always like to drink my calories or points, I would rather eat them, but this was perfect and it was quite filling. The whole thing was 4pp with the almond milk.

Very delicious and now a new stable in my lifestyle!

Here is a picture I got off of Google because I am a bit lazy to go into the kitchen and take one..hehe

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I ...

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
