Hey y'all!
I have REALLY sucked at blogging this spring! I mean, I've been working a lot for work, but sometimes blog posts (like this one) don't take long to write! I have so much I want to share from the last couple of months!
Today though, I am checking in on one of my 30 by 30 List. The one that I feel so awkward talking about! I've been working towards losing 50 pounds, and I am 15 down! I'm joining a new gym this week (sometimes I get anxiety in a big gym that is new to me, I feel like everyone is staring at me!), and I have been practicing clean eating as much as possible!
I'm currently doing the Arbonne Challenge. It is a clean eating challenge that incorporates protein shakes. Honestly, I have tried a lot of different proteins. I'm really loving the Arbonne protein shake mix. It keeps me feeling full for longer and more satisfied after eating it. My next favorite would be beachbody (they have a lot of different flavors).
Personally, I can't just add water and ice to the protein, so I've been looking up recipes to try and now I really look forward to my morning and evening shakes! I have a huge sweet tooth, so I am able to make the chocolate shakes very dessert like so I'm not craving sweets! Here are two that I've made this week that are super easy!
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shake
-2 scoops of chocolate protein
-1-2 handfuls of frozen strawberries
-1 cup unsweetened almond milk (only 30 calories per cup! - sometimes I add more if the shake is a little too thick)
-fiber (if you want - this is what helps me stay full for so long!)
Pumpkin Pie Shake
-2 scoops of vanilla protein (or 1 scoop vanilla, one scoop chocolate - depends on how pumpkiny you want it!)
-1 cup unsweetened almond milk
-Frozen pure pumpkin (I get the pure pumkin in a can and freeze it in cupcake pans so I have little pucks of pumpkin - I usually use two pucks per smoothie)
-a dash of pumpkin pie spice
-fiber (again, only if you want it)
-fiber (again, only if you want it)
Just toss all of the ingredients in the blender and that's it! See? SUPER easy!
Hope y'all are having a great day!
Until next time (and I promise it will be much sooner!),
