Viola! Summer!!!

Hello Fit Fam!!!
I am 37,000 feet in the air somewhere between Houston and Toronto and I am operating on only two hours of sleep (not recommended for a healthy lifestyle).

Since my last post I am super excited about all these healthy recipes that I have been trying. Some I loved and some not so much. PS: I now know that I cannot stand puree vegetable soup homemade or not.

Moving right along one of the easiest recipes I am super stocked about involves protein powder. Let me preface by saying that I hate hate hate did I say hate the smell of protein powder. I have tried all kinds of fruits to help me make it a meal replacement but I just cant stand it.

Well... Until I found a something a secret ingredient that works wonders thanks to @bri_getsfit on instagram!!! 
(Side bar: I joined instagram... you can follow and/or tag me on health and fitness pictures and videos. My handle is @dfitme)

In any case, … you all will learn I am culinary inclined and I love my kitchen so I had to make this my own way and voila! Now I have the perfect summer protein shake.
