Protein Fluff!

I've recently become addicted to protein fluff and I've been eating it almost daily.

What is protein fluff?


It's fluffy, sweet protein bliss. Above, I topped it with half a Lenny and Larry's cookie, g2g bar (see my review: G2G Protein Bar Review), cookie dough Gbutter (see my review: GButter Review) and sprinkles, of course.

Many times when I post a picture of my protein fluff bowl, people ask me for the recipe, so here it is!

Ingredients:

1 scoop protein powder (I've been using Quest brand)
1 banana
Pinch of xanthan gum (I don't measure)
About 3-4 cups of ice (I don't measure)
Just enough water to make it blendable

So it's more of an idea than a recipe.

Method:

Blend. Blend. Blend. And blend some more.

With my little ninja, it takes for-ev-er. I'm not sure how long it would take with a more powerful blender but if you're thinking that it didn't work and that it's too icy, then there's a very good chance you just need to keep blending. It seems like it will never fluff up and than all of sudden, it turns into fluffy creamy goodness. Then I blend a little longer to get all the ice chunks out, add my toppings and voila!

Enjoy!

How's that Working Out for You?

Do you even lift, bro? Seems like it's been a minute since I talked about anything fitness related! Here's what's been going on! Running My running continues as normal - I like to keep myself conditioned for 5k races throughout the year so my regular running routine is 3-4 miles, 3 times a week. I've considered trying out a half marathon with my mom, but we haven't committed to the idea of training for one lol! Let me know if you think we should do it! Lifting I actually took the plunge and purchased a lifting program from Mind Pump Media. I purchased their Anabolic program which is designed to increase overall strength. I completed Phase 1, one time through. This was vastly different from my former routine. This Phase implemented low reps and long rest periods. I felt like I wasn't doing anything but apparently I was because I got sore (not an good indicator of a good workout, by the way). I'm now in Phase 2 which is more muscle hypertrophy. I thi...

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!
