Basic Protein Shake Smoothie

This week's recipes are going to be all about protein shakes.

Benefits of protein shakes; they are an excellent thing

to drink before and or after a workout to help your muscles

properly recover. They are also a great meal replacement

as they have healthy calories and are high in protein.

The first recipe of the week is a basic protein shake smoothie...

First thing you need to know is you need to find a brand of

protein powder you like, we get ours from bodybuilding.com or GNC.

The nice thing about GNC is you can buy some protein powder,

if you don't like it keep your receipt and they will take it back.

Sometimes they have samples you can try too.

My favorite from GNC is their actual brand and it is salted caramel,

it is good mixed with peanut butter. Any who are into the recipe....

What you need is:

1c frozen fruit

1 scoop of protein powder (when I use fruit I do either

strawberry or vanilla protein powder)

1/3-1c of almond milk, skim milk or water.

*** I always start with the smaller amount of liquid

and add more if need be***

Now all you have to do is mix everything together

in your nutri bullet or blender and enjoy.

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations.
