protein shakes

i am one of those people that have always laughed at protein shakes and breakfast smoothies…

sure, use the words “shake” and “smoothie” in a title and it sounds delicious… but usually i have found these drinks to be anything but.

growing up we all dreaded the days Papa would have a protein drink as a late lunch; it meant “mama dinners.” mama dinners was usually code for sandwiches, canned soup, meat rolls, frozen dinner, pot pies, hot pockets or other such simple-to-make, mediocre flavor food. mama dinners were ok, but nothing to write home about (see what i did there? we were already home…haha…..)

anyhow, recently i have found a protein shake that just sings to me. you might be curious how a liquid can sing, but trust me…it can.

super duper chocolatey flavor that ends my craving for chocolate (hi, my name is Jessica and i am a chocoholic). it’s vegan, gluten free, fits with a paleo lifestyle, low sugars, reasonable calories, decent carbs. and did i mention delicious? i actually look forward to drinking my smoothie every day.

so why this post? well, it’s easy. i want to get healthy. if I post here my health-plan, maybe i will stay more accountable. also, maybe another lifelong chocoholic out there is also looking for ways to get healthy. And maybe, just maybe, i can help us both in the meantime!

tomorrow i will post the specifics, but for now, what are you doing to stay/get/be healthy?
