Post Workout Treat

This week has been really crazy at work. I've had to drive all over the great state of Tennessee and sit in courtrooms for like 5 hours a day. I usually work out in the morning, however this week hasn't allowed for that; instead I've been going to the 7:45-8:45 boxing class. That puts me home at about 9pm and that's way too late for a full meal.

My dinner this week has been protein packed, fruit and veggie filled smoothies. I love these smoothies. I don't follow a recipe, I just throw things into my personal blender. My grandma gave me a single-serving blender for Christmas, and it's my favorite kitchen gadget.

Last nights was 1/2 cup of Soy Chocolate Milk, a cup of peach soy yogurt, frozen bananas and a few pieces of frozen fruit.

I usually buy 2 bunches of bananas at the grocery. One I eat and the other I cut up and freeze. I add them to smoothies for extra creaminess, or that banana cream recipe I posted not too long ago. I usually use chocolate milk. A) It's chocolate and yummy. B) I read in a fitness magazine that it's the best to drink after workouts. My morning and post-workout smoothies don't differ too much. I usually use Vanilla milk in the morning and add a little peanut butter.

I drink smoothies a lot, because of their portability and because I always fill full afterwards. It's an easy way to get all of your fruits and veggies in, protein and calcium too.

I hope that all of you have a fabulous holiday weekend. Plan something outside & remember to eat well!
