Katelyn came over yesterday, and we intended to go to the gym. But it didn’t happen. We ate and drank instead. The first thing we tried was totally disgusting. I’m not sure who would drink this—it tasted like the liquid out of a jar of fermented/cultured beets. The label says, “Like Kombucha? Try This!” Please, …

I never did a wrap-up post for round one of my personal improvement plan (PIP), but it did go well. I felt better, looked better, and everything was going well.

Yesterday, I made a smoothie that was similar to the Valentine’s Day smoothie, except I didn’t measure the ingredients, left out the hemp protein powder and cacao, and added about 2 cups of spinach. I thought it would turn brown…but it didn’t. It was awesome, didn’t taste the spinach at all, and it was a …
Today I wanted a combination recovery plus energy boost smoothie. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it turned out more like a pudding. Here’s the recipe: 1 3/4 cups coconut milk 1/2 scoop Vega powder (chocolate flavor) 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup chia seeds 2-3 Tbsp agave 1 Tbsp maca powder I …
