Recipe WEEK continues!!

Recipe week continues with a delicious and nutritious way to pump up the "yummy" in your protein shake! Protein shakes are a great way to easily get the protein you need  in your day, without having to eat another piece of chicken, ya get my drift? You see, every diet out there seems to be telling us, " more protein!", and that somehow translates in our brains to, " eat more chicken". BUT chicken is not your only source of protein out there! Eggs, ( and/or just their whites), protein bars and shakes, tofu, nuts, quinoa, all wonderful sources to get you out of the dreaded chicken rut.
SO ladies and gentlemen, when choosing your meals throughout the day, don't overload your plates with carbs before you think protein! It will fill you up and keep your body satisfied for longer periods throughout the day, giving you strength and energy to capture your day!  And while you're at it, don't forget another one of our healthy favorites...fiber! Fruits and veggies paired with your protein in your meals will keep your well oiled machine, well oiled ;)
