For a long time, I was against using any sort of protein powder. I didn't know much about it, but whenever my boyfriend would suggest that I try it, the image of an overly muscular, body builder with veins popping out of his biceps ruined my appetite.
However, when mixed with peanut butter and a banana, some girls can be convinced. Some girls may have even liked it enough to buy her own container.
I'm movin' up in the ranks, people.

Today's drink is a new combination. Nothing fancy, but quite appetizing. I'm planning on running an 8-miler today (as soon as it stops pouring) and I'm hoping this magic shake will give me the push that I need.

I think I've developed a slight addiction to protein powder. I add it to everything: smoothies, oatmeal, pancakes. I even made a sort of pudding yesterday combining almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder, and cocoa powder. So good!
