First off, some things to share.
Peanut Flour makes the best dip.
Esp. if you're someone that can't stop after eating 1-2T of the real stuff.
In the mix:
3 T Peanut Flour
H20
stevia
sea salt
In the mix:
3 T Peanut Flour
H20
stevia
sea salt
Carrots dipped in are even better (perfect nighttime snack)
I can drink Green Protein smoothies regardless if it's 20F.
In the mix:
1 scoop vanilla SunWarrior protein
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 nanner
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
hand full fresh spinach
1T almond butter
almond milk
pinch xanthan gum (to thicken)
pinch sea salt (brings out sweetness)
stevia, to taste
Greek yogurt + crushed pecans + stevia + teeeny drizzle maple syrup is divine.
My packed salads don't always look appetizing, but they are mouth-watering delicious.
In the mix:
Boston lettuce
1/2 cup kidney beans
mushrooms
carrots
cucumbers
1 wedge Light Laughing Cow cheese
2 T nutritional yeast (gives a cheesy flavor, and adds extra protein)
1 T sunflower seeds (healthy source of fat)
S&P
And the BEST dressing: A 1:1 mixture of balsamic vinegar and Goddess Dressing

Some random tid-bits...
If I'm home, there's a 95% chance I'm rocking a fleece robe
(Just woke up, be kind)
Michael wears scarves. I swear he did this himself.

OK, now for the news....
Biochemista is moving! Since leaving my program in Biochemistry (left with a MS degree) and pursuing a degree in clinical medicine, I think it's only appropriate the blog gets a new name. The new blog should be launching within the week!
What can you expect? The new blog will be my definition of a healthy living blog: How I try to juggle it all (career, fitness, health, social life, relationships) while still maintaining balance. You can also expect more raw, uncensored, sarcastic (you might not know this but I'm incredibly sarcastic), and [frighteningly] honest posts. With a science-y twist, of course.
Stay tuned!







Ooooh you've got me excited! can't wait to see the new blog girl, and to see what's in store for you this year! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Lauren ~ Happy New Year! I am reactivating my blog also after a few months hiatus. I am curious about these recipes. I often make myself a morning smoothie/shake. I am going to try the recipe you listed here. Have never heard of 'Nanner' ~ will have to google that one! Happy blogging!
