Good afternoon everyone. Pat I am loving the sunshine. Today I think I will go outside and do some raking and picking up sticks that have fallen throughout the winter. That should be good exercise. Tonight DH and I are going out for dinner and to listen to live music.
This morning I made my SKYR yogurt with all the fixin's. This week's yogurt is Skyr mixed with chia, hemp, flax, chopped prunes, dried mango (just a little), coconut, mango protein powder, and all topped off with walnuts. It will sit in the fridge and be ready tomorrow morning. This is the concoction that keeps me regular and I try to switch up the flavour every week to give me some variety. Always add SKYR, chopped prunes, chia, hemp and flax, but some of the flavours I've made are Tiramisu, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate caramel, peanut butter banana, apple cinnamon. It has at least 20g of protein per serving, and is a good afternoon or nighttime snack. Sometimes it's a meal.
The eats today at 2.5 years post-op are:
Rivers of decaf with Premier Protein Vanilla used as creamer/sweetener
Scrambled eggs with red and green peppers, chicken sausage, fresh salsa
Burger homemade topped with sauteed onions, taco cheese, big slice of beefsteak tomato (no bun)
Brisket with gravy and a salad with goat cheese at the restaurant
SKYR yogurt with all the fixin's (the last of the batch I made last weekend - chocolate/caramel with cocoa almonds on top)
Have a great day everyone and enjoy the sunshine.
