I’m not a huge fan of flavoured protein powders. I think its because of my aversion to certain flavour combinations:
- Chocolate and fruit. I prefer vanilla with fruity things.
- Peanut butter and fruit. I always puke in my mouth a little when I see people adding nut butter to their fruity smoothies.
This always causes a problem when looking for the perfect protein powder, as it comes in HUGE containers and I tend to get sick of it before I use it all.
Enter the solution to my protein woes: Leanfit PLAIN Whey Protein. I got this 2kg tub at Costco for just $23.99. I’ve tried it in a smoothie and also in a breakfast cookie. The verdict? GREAT!
The nutritionals aren’t too shabby either. I have been using just half of a scoop.
I got stuck late at the office again tonight. I was a little pissy about this because I missed my step class. I try not to get too upset about missing a workout, but it really does get to me.
I came home and whipped up a Pumpkin/Cinnamon/Raisin breakfast cookie for breakfast tomorrow. I really am amazed at how full these babies keep me.
Dinner was FAST and required zero cooking. Cesar salad and California rolls from Costco.
Andrew left to go to basketball, and I started to feel guilty about not exercising. I popped in my Bootycamp Fitness DVD and did the quickie cardio session which was an awesome little mini workout. After that, I did a 25 min intense workout on EA Active. Not the best workouts I’ve ever had, but it was better than vegging on the couch right?
I’m feeling a little parched tonight. I suspect that’s from the soy sauce I had with my sushi.
Well, I’m signing off for tonight. I’m going to enjoy a little Amy time while Andrew is at basketball. Hoarders is on. I’m kind of obsessed in a sick way with this show.. very similar to my infatuation with Intervention.

I hear ya on the chocolate/fruit combo: Chocolate + raspberries = blech, Fruit and Nut bars = blech. The only one I do like is chocolate + banana (Starbucks Vivanno, or banana + chocolate sauce).
LOVE Intervention and Hoarders...I secretly cross my fingers for those people, hoping it'll turn out okay. But sometimes it doesn't; when the person dies (one guy died right after he'd beat his addiction and had re-connected with his family), I cry like a baby.
Will have to check out this breakfast cookie thing!
I love PB, almond butter etc. but in a smoothie is gag central. I used watch parts of Intervention in open mouthed horror.
-and make sure I don't have a glass of vino with me.
Question- What brand Caesar dressing do you use? I LOVE Casesar salad and recently found an "ok" dressing at Trader Joe's for 50cals for 2TBL but I could use some more flavor!
Suggestion?
I may have to miss my planned workout today because of work also. Boo! It sucks!
Yum, that breakfast cookie looks like it would be a great idea.
Hoarders, Intervention - me too! I don't know what it is about those two shows, I'm repulsed yet can't stop watching them. I have the same sick obsession too.
My protein of choice is Goat Whey. It was recommended by my trainer and I just love the stuff. Low cal, more protein than regular powders, and it's easily digestible, unlike some of the others.
I have been toying around with buying some protein powder. What are the benefits of it? I haven't looked into it as much as I should because i'm afraid it will bulk me up.

Oh, heavens. Hoarders - it's like watching a car wreck. I watched it with my 17 year old one night - he went upstairs and immediately started cleaning his room. I think it struck a nerve with him.
It's a great powder heh? :0)
Now this cookie thing, sounds delish (recipe?)
Way to go on the workout you managed to get in.
Great find! Does that protein powder contain any artificial sweeteners? It's near impossible to find protein powders without any and they really upset my tummy. I found one here but it was super expensive. I may have to make a quick trip across the line to pick this one up.
