Look what came in the mail yesterday

I still have a bag of Chocolate left, but I had some credits that I needed to use on OpenSky, so I figured I’d buy some Vanilla.

It tastes better in certain recipes such as pina colada smoothies, warm vanilla protein oats, juicing, or protein pancakes.

• 1/4 cup eggwhites
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 2 Tbsp almond milk (or skim)
• 1 Tbsp ground flax
• 1/2 mashed banana
• cinnamon.

Since it’s such a rainy, clammy morning, I craved a smoothie for breakfast.

• 1 scoop Sunwarrior Vanilla
• 1 big handful of raw spinach
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
• 1 Tbsp ground flax
• water and ice
• 1/2 cup Kashi sprinkled on top

And of course, some black coffee with Stevia.

Quite the hot and cold breakfast I’ve got going on here.

So..I’ve been feeling very thankful lately; Thankful for my health, my family, my friends, and everyday experiences that I sometimes take for granted.

When we focus so much on the negatives in our life, we tend to miss all of the positives surrounding us.

If you find yourself dwelling on a certain situation today, twist it into a positive and try to make it into something good.

Remember that there is always a light at the end of a tunnel, a lesson learned through failure, it could always be worse, and with every bad, comes a good.

Have a good day xoxo
