Eating for the badass body and performance you desire can sometimes be a pain, and downright inconvenient.
Tough shit! I’m not here to sympathize, make excuses, or tell you its OK to let that be a reason to stray off course. In fact, if that’s what you’re looking for, you need to keep the surfing the net for a different hand-holding blog post. I’m here to tell you to “saddle up” and make it happen! Overcome any and every obstacle in your path. Control your own destiny!
OK, enough inspiration for today. Let’s look at some ways to add convenience and variety into your boring daily meals. Protein powders and shakes are an extremely convenient way to get a great meal on the go, fill you up, cool you down on these 100 degree days, and even satisfy a sweet tooth. Here are 3 protein shake recipes, I guarantee you haven’t tried!
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with juicing and trying to incorporate EVEN MORE fruits and vegetables into my “diet”. All 3 of these shakes are packed with vegetables, some fruit, and of course protein.
