I started my day with a 5 mile easy run and some core work. Felt good to just go out for a run (in the snow) and not worry about time! I finished my run in 46 minutes.
After my run, I whipped up a protein smoothie for breakfast.
Chocolate Banana PB Protein Smoothie
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 tbsp hemp protein powder
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs
- 1.5 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
This was so chocolatey – I loved it! Hopefully it refueled my tired and sore muscles.
Cacao nibs on top, just for fun.
FYI – I like using frozen bananas in my smoothies (or other frozen fruit) instead of ice because I find that it blends better.
Lunch was another phenomenal salad. Today’s salad contained baby spinach, roasted chickpeas, cheddar with oats and raisins, red apple, chopped medjool dates and a dash of pear infused vinaigrette.
Just as good as yesterday!
I also had a pomegranate chobani (with a few crushed dark chocolate leaves) for something sweet.
I don’t necessarily need or crave something sweet after my meals, but it makes my day much better when I have a healthy treat!
Dinner tonight will be fun, but a little later, so I brought this bar to nibble on my commute home (but, I broke into it around 3:30pm)!
Love the PB&J Larabar – it tastes like a smooshed PB&J sandwich!
See you for dinner!
