Mmmm today's shake is the best shake I have had yet! It isn't too sweet, just the right amount!
I had:
1 cup of Grape Juice with one of those emergen-c packets (James is feeling down, so I want to make sure I don't get sick)
6 fresh pineapple rounds
1 1/2 cups of frozen pineapples
1/2 banana (Its a pretty big banana, probably equates to 1 regular sized banana)
4 cups of kale
2 tablespoons of Flax Seed
1 scoop whey protein
I thought the grape juice and pineapple would compliment each other, and they sure do! However, this wielded a huge amount of shake..enough to fill up my to go bottle and a full sized 12 oz cup.
I realized I wasn't adding enough liquid to the first couple shakes...they were hard to blend ,and now that I am using more, it is quite easy to blend.
Then I also realized that flax seed (Mine is grounded up) taste like banana, and that is why sometimes I taste it. I don't think it is just the banana I add.
Kale also makes the greenest shakes, that is for sure. The bunnies love it though, because they get my left over stems! (and banana!)
Today's workout I really pushed the resistance and I feel great! I am also down to 160.00 even. Yeah it is only a 1.4 difference (and probably water weight) but I really see a difference in my body.
Thanks for reading!
I also forgot to add, that is is best to add the juice/water first, fresh fruit, frozen, then the greens for best blending!
