coffee protein latte

So I saw this idea on a forum board a few weeks ago and then two readers reminded me of it on our facebook and today was the perfect day to try it out. I am in law journal training all day and I was rushing to get out of the house this morning so I made a coffee, protein latte. 1 scoop protein powder 1 iced brew of Caribou on my Keurig (about 1/4-1/2 cup) 1/2 cup crushed ice splash of almond milk dash of cinnamon This turned out much frothier than usual making it just like a blended latte, as opposed to a “shake”. And my cooler for today: Apple with almonds Chicken, avocado, bell peppers, tomato 2 banana nut protein muffins Leftover steak,...

For the shake I did my normal: 1 scoop pp 1/2 cup crushed ice 1/2 cup almond milk and added: 1/2 banana 3/4 cup cubed watermelon I forgot to compensate for how much liquid the watermelon holds so it was more of a “drink” than a “shake” but still perfect for the hot...

Day 26I started my morning out with 20 minutes of high intensity internal cardio on the elliptical and then was studying all day. For a brain break, this afternoon Kate and I did our new shoulder/tricep workout. By the second to last super set my arms were failing. I only did 8 reps on the last tricep exercise but I know our arms are going to be killer for tank tops I reeeealy wanted another apple bake when I got home but since I had it for breakfast I decided to make a smoothie. Ingredients: 1 cup crushed ice1 cup fat free milk1 tbsp all natural (no sugar) almond butter1 scoop vanilla whey protein1 tbsp ground flaxseed1 cup frozen mixed berries Blend and sip...
