Thanks to those if you that provided insight into yesterday's article on cigarette smoking. It's still shocking to me. Maybe it's because I'm living in DC, a very active city - but nonetheless, I still see smokers way more than I'd like.
Yesterday was a wonderful day. I woke to a cuddly pup, made coffee and enjoyed a smoothie on the deck in the beautiful sunshine, because look what just arrived!
Alas!
Raspberry-Vanilla- Almond Smoothie:
1 scoop vanilla SunWarrior protein, 1/3 cup frozen raspberries, 1/2 frozen banana, heaping hand full fresh spinach, 1 T almond butter (promotes absorption of fat soluble vitamins), 1 tsp SuperGreens, pinch xanthan gum (to thicken), dash sea salt (to bring out sweetness), stevia, 1/2 cup coconut kefir, ice, H20
After digesting, I headed to the the gym for a little cardio + weights. I ran 20 mins, 2.5% incline, 7.7mph (7:47 mile/min) then did 50 mins of a BodyPump-inspired total body weights session. And today, my arms and booty are sore!
Post-gym I ran errands, did some reading, then refueled with leftover herb dijon salmon over spinach, cherry tomatoes, cukes, and light balsamic vinaigrette. Hit the spot.
[Insert more reading + snacking]
Dark chocolate + Coffee w/ steamed almond milk <3
And then a night of dancing with the girls! I haven't danced that long in a looong time.
Only pic I managed to snap the whole night. Plus I was a sweaty beast by the end :)

This morning I woke craving Pancakes!
Raspberry Vanilla Pancakes: Mix: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/3 cup egg whites, 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup raspberries, 1 tsp flax seeds, cinnamon, apple pie spice, stevia, dash sea salt, pinch baking powder, almond milk to moisten
Mix makes 2 of these guys (or 1 ginormous one)
Love.

The rest of the day includes:
Reading
Walk with Alyson (?)
Call it an early night

Have a great Saturday!

I'm working on the guest post today btw :) Enjoy your Sunday!!
@Gabriela It is the BEST protein! It's great in smoothies but even better for baking in my opinion :) Does that negate the purpose of it being raw? haha
