Mixing Old and New
Usually, when I come in from outside in the morning, I need something refreshing. To replenish the energy I've expended in that hour or so, I have been whipping up a little concoction for myself.
Using the Braun stick blender that my sister gave me over twenty years ago, I generally dump in place a low fat Greek yogurt in the beaker first. (I love referring to this thing as a beaker...makes me remember my college Chemistry lab!!) Then I add low sugar OJ and some of the protein powder I recently bought. Loaded with essential vitamins and green tea to promote metabolism, it gives me a little extra protein something we all need as we age.
Do you know how much protein you should take in a day?
Check out this...The Science of Eating...link. It gives you, caloric, protein, carbs and fat intake based on your activity level and/or age.
When I found out, I almost keeled over!!
I just slugged down finished the one I made this morning, using strawberry yogurt, OJ, chia seeds and my protein powder. Good stuff and so refreshing...:)
