WOW: Breakfast Smoothie

Well it has been a while since I've done a Workout Wednesday post! Shame on me, but we're moving on. I've had some request to bring back the series and today I'm starting off by sharing a breakfast smoothie I've been loving. It's super quick, has a good blend of nutrients, and most importantly it's delicious. My roommate and I have been cooking and staying on the same healthy diet (definitely recommend because it keeps you accountable and you share cooking/dish duties!). We made it even easier by measuring out the fruit into individual zip locks so we can just grab the correct amount in the morning. I use a chocolate protein from Lifetime Fitness, however you can use vanilla or whatever protein you enjoy!

As you could see I couldn't wait for a sip before taking the picture.

Think Before You Eat

A while ago I came across this someecard on Pinterest and I thought...brilliant!  If you've ever done a burpee (may I add, if you haven't you're seriously missing out) you will never forget how much they suck. I've been seriously lacking some gym motivation ever since my spring break fun, and with a neuroanatomy exam quickly approaching I am pinched for time to get to the gym (aka not motivated to find the time) along with stress eating. Today's Workout Wednesday post will hopefully put into perspective just how hard it is to burn bad calories. These are of course estimates (for an 130lb individual) and not meant to be taken to the extreme that if you eat one of these things you have to do this many burpees. I just hope it provides an eye-opening realization (it sure worked for me)! I used this site to help estimate the amount of burpees.

Spinach Shake Without The Taste

This is one of my go-to breakfast choices when I'm rushing to school, and has been since I started last May. My classmates might think it looks gross, but I swear you can't taste the spinach! If you like chocolate and peanut butter, then heres the shake for you.

1. Add 8oz unsweetened Almond milk 

2. Add 8oz water 

3. Add 1 scoop protein powder. This is what I currently use

4. Optional: Add 1 scoop fibermend. Found here

5. Add 1 scoop peanut butter (this is what you actually taste!)

6. Fill the top with spinach (I usually fill it, blend, then refill it back up to the top)

7. Blend. Serve. Enjoy!

Next week is my spring break and I'm going to be a busy girl: St. Patricks Day downtown in Savannah, Daytona with 11 of my classmates, and my cousins wedding! I will be back to blogging the following week!

Until then,
Amanda
