Protein Struggles and 2 great drinks
I've been struggling since I came home getting all of my protein (75 gms) each day. Mostly because I haven't found a drink that I actually like, not just tolerate. I know that it's a part of my healthy eating now but it's been tough. Finally I've discovered something that I actually enjoy. Thank you Lord! The Matrix 5.0 protein powders are the best I've tried and I have two recipes out of the Barix binder that I really really like.
Peanut Butter Cup
½ cup milk, skim
1 scoop Matrix 5.0, Perfect Chocolate

If anyone else out there has discovered favorites I would sure be appreciative of other recipes!!
I bought it off Amazon.com. My Barix Clinic sells it but at a much higher price. I just got in chocolate, vanilla and orange. I think these are the only flavors they sell. But I know I can deal with almost any recipe I try with the Matrix in it so I'm so excited that I have a full supply now.
Good luck and if you happen upon any other recipies, let me know!
