Part of my plan to get fit is to increase my daily protein intake. Not being the carnivore that my husband is, increasing protein in a little hard for me. Enter PROTEIN SHAKES. This week I'm using Jillian Michael's Triple Chocolate Protein Whey. I have now tried it 3 different ways. The first attempt was simply following the directions on the tub, 1 scoop to 8 ounces of water. The result was anything but palatable. Luckily, I have raging allergies which have stolen a good bit of my sense of taste, so I was able to get it down. The next attempt, I decided to add a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter to the mix and blend it with ice. This was a little better, but still not great. This morning, I decided to add a scoop to my old-fashioned oatmeal before cooking. The result is CHOCOLATE OATMEAL! Add a little Splenda and hey! This is not bad at all. And I doubt that I will be hungry for a while!!!
I have been advised that the most appetizing way to drink the shake is to mix it with Light Chocolate Soy milk and ice in a blender. I'll be trying that next, and hopefully the result will be a protein shake worthy of my post-workout snack each day.
It's funny, but drinking protein shakes makes me feel more like a health nut already! ;)
Hey ya'll! Welcome to the reboot of my blog. My short story is this: I love food, wine, and desserts- and I love to work out. It's all about balance. I lost 30 pounds over 5 years ago and I have kept it off. I love to inspire others to strive for a healthy lifestyle while still having balance and enjoying life.
