Added ingredients: Nuts and SuperFood

For my hypoglycemia, nuts are always a warm welcome for a great energy boost. I heard of many people putting almonds in their raw shakes, and I knew I had to as well.
But at 4.99 lb at the cheapest bulk store I know, it can be pricey. I been thinking if it might be better to add the almonds only when I know I have long days (Such as Tuesday for me)

I will let you guys now if adding them made any difference in how I feel.

Then I finally bought some "Super food." Super food is pricey, and will cost you about $20 a month for everyday shakes. But everyone who uses them swears by them-so I am giving it a month trial.

I bought "Amazing Grass" Organic superfood from Sunflower Market
Ingredients:

Grass Greens:
Wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, chlorella, broccoli.
Antioxidants:
Acai (first ingredient!), Maca, carrot, beet, raspberry, rose hips, pineapple, green tea, acerola cherry
Fiber: Flax seed, apple pectin
Digestive:
A bunch of stuff I don't want to type out LOL

The main reason why I bought it was a fair price (Not the cheapest though) and the fact it has acai in it as well. The clerk also told me it is pretty popular because it taste pretty nice.

Here is a link to their website which describes the benefit of their ingredients which I find interesting:

I also did my weigh in at 160.8. I technically gained 4 ounces :P
But it is steady and I am hopeful :) I have also been concentrating less on cardio and more on strength so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I gained some weight.

Thanks for reading!
