We started with a foil pouch filled with mashed potatoes, sirloin tips, mushrooms and onions (it was GOOD), then a sausage with peppers and onions was consumed (not by me). This was followed by a basket of chicken tenders with honey mustard and then it got really good... We split a strawberry napoleon and a strawberry milkshake, then I had a few bites of a cannoli cupcake and a chocolate cupcake with bacon and then I ate my own cookies and cream cupcake.
Wow, seriously regretting the whole no-camera thing....
Anyway, my point is that I was feeling really overloaded with sugar, I was dehydrated and needing some protein and greens. The next morning (Saturday), I was craving a big green high-protein smoothie.
I just combined one packet of Jay Robb's vanilla whey protein with about 6 oz of water, added two big handfuls of baby spinach and about 3 or 4 ice cubes in the blender and blended away! Topped it with a small handful of Kashi Heart To Heart Honey Toasted Oat cereal. I usually add frozen or fresh fruit too but this time my body just wanted the protein and the greens...and a little cereal for CRUNCH.
It's fun to eat a smoothie with a spoon!
Side note: at the Florida State Fair there was a guy doing demos of the Vitamix (that I have been wanting forever!) and he made sorbet with a whole lemon, some avocado (for creaminess), purple cabbage and white grape juice (and maybe a few other things I'm forgetting) in about 1 or 2 minutes. It was AMAZING. Rocked my world.
Yesterday was our Trader Joe's trip! It was awesome, we were able to get about 95% of the items on our list (the other 5% were sold out). We stocked up on their Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon ($10.99/lb is hard to beat!) along with some other fish, some baking essentials, a bunch of snacks, lots of VINO, and a ton of pantry essentials. We enjoyed exploring Naples too! A friend of mine who lives there gave us some great dog-friendly recommendations. I'm already looking forward to our return trip :-)
