Protein Shake

This morning I  made a fiber packed Protein Shake.
1 frozen banana
8 oz unsweetened coconut milk
3 Tbsp hemp seeds
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
1 Tbsp ground flax seeds
-Blend until smooth and enjoy!
 
This 8 oz drink contained at least 11 grams of protein, (3 Tbsp of hemp seeds have 11 grams). It was delicious and held me over a couple of hours until i had time to sit down to eat.

Farm Vegetable Dinner in the Apt

I used up the remains of our farm produce box to make dinner: lemon cucumber,vine-ripe tomatoes and broccoli. I added Arugula, hemp seeds, lemon juice, olive oil, flax seed oil, dried basil and sea salt with short grain brown rice. As you may have noticed it is in my large salad bowl and yes I ate it all by myself.

Smoothie Run

I have been planning to go on a morning run for weeks, (Ask Dan- he thought this day would never come as I repeatedly pressed snooze on my alarm-clock for 2 weeks straight). But Today I FINALLY did it. I left my apt at 630 AM and ran for 30 minutes. My goal is to make it a morning routine! Afterwards, I rewarded myself with a green smoothie!
