Monday, January 20th, Cardio & Cafe

Iris, I feel for you.  That's a lot to deal with.  One of my step-sons has a 6 year old son with autism.  He attends regular school, but they also have a program that takes him out of his regular class for about an hour a day to work with his special needs.  He has the attention span of a gnat much of the time so it's a huge challenge for him to learn.  On the other hand, he's as sweet and is the kind of kid who "never met a stranger".  He's very friendly and talkative with EVERYONE.  That is also part of his challenge.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers as will kid-ette.  ::Hugs::

Sounds good.

 

Hi,

Question for ya, do you make your own protein shakes or do you buy pre-made? protein shakes?
I make mine, with powder/mix & water and ice. I am looking forward to doing some new recipes for a shake, but I have to get almond milk, I am going to try it for sure, this wk. A vanilla protein suppl. I hope it's good, so I can have two good ones, that are homemade with the powder mixes.

I make my own.  I use 1 1/2 scoops of Unjury Chocolate Splendor powder with 1 tablespoon PB powder and 1/2 frozen banana plus about 1 cup water and 6 cubes of ice.  I call this a chunky monkey shake.  This has about 34 grams of protein and about 215 calories.  It is quite yummy.  If I do not have the PB powder then I use peanut butter S.F. syrup from Da Vinci Syrups.

I use a powder and almond milk and then I doctor it up if I am in the mood.  I will add combos of frozen fruit, sugar free jello, pudding mixes, nut butters and sugar free syrups.
