>Thank you for your thorough and honest comments on yesterday’s post on animal research. I was anticipating a lot of negative comments so either 1) only scientists reading my blog 2) PETA is crazy or 3) you got the gist of what I was trying to say.
Either way, I hope that I was able to show you another [positive] side of animal research.

Well, I finally have a few days off. It comes at a good time because my family decided to surprise us with a visit. Made my MONTH!
But I’m starting to come down with a cold 😦
So a get-better-vitamin-packed-protein-smoothie it is!
In the mix:
1 scoop vanilla SunWarrior protein
banana
frozen strawberries
frozen blueberries
frozen mangoes
hand full fresh spinach
1 T almond butter (to promote absorption of fat soluble vitamins)
H20
stevia
pinch sea salt (brings out sweetness)
And lots of tea…
I will rock my holiday mug as long as I can

Since I’ve been working quite a bit, quick and easy meals have been on demand…
Maple Peanut Butter Protein Cupcake
So. good. I promise you.
And lots of Amy’s soup. The low-fat black bean is my current favorite..
I spice it up with:
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (for added protein)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
pinch cayenne
pinch sea salt
