I went to acupuncture today (if you haven't tried it, you should, I love it!) and part of the deal with that is that you can't do a good workout the rest of the day. That means I'm taking it easy tonight.
I got up and tried to do a workout this morning, but my media server was down, so I jumped in the shower and wanted to bike to work, when I remembered that I had a noon acupuncture appointment, making that a no go. I'm now 2 for 2 days of not managing to get a 30 minute work out in. Oh well.
Here are today's recipes:
Chunky Monkey
1 scoop/packet chocolate Shakeology,
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (or skim milk),
1/2 cup water,
1/2 banana (best if frozen),
1 tbsp natural peanut butter (or tbsp PB2),
1/3 cup ground granola (I forgot this, oops),
tall glass full of ice,
ground the granola first in your blender and then add all the other ingredients and blend again until smooth.
Snack: 1/2 banana with drizzled peanut butter (not as good as it sounds)
