Juice Update

For Recovery:

After a long paddleboard workout, I used the chocolate veg protein mix in a smoothie with lunch in hopes for a fast recovery. It did seem to help. 
The next morning, I added a tbsp of peanut powder and had a smoothie breakfast.
Mixing:

1 cup Flax milk
1 scoop raw chocolate protein
1 banana
4 ice cubes

363 calories (200 from banana)

I’m using Flax milk this week because it is good and the shop I went to had it and not almond milk.

Juice for a new decanter:

This morning’s juice was fabulously mild with a slight parsnip after taste.  I made enough for at least two juices.  I found a BPA free decanter on clearance so I can store it airtight and it will retain more vitamins longer.

In the mix: kale, swiss chard, carrots, parsnips, lemon, beet, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and yellow bell pepper.

Lower calorie breakfast:

I was planning a splurge meal for dinner this night, so I wanted to save up some calories. Instead of putting a banana and peanut powder in this morning’s smoothie, I had a cinnamon apple on the side. The smoothie was not AS good but still tasty.

Juicing everything:

Last night I juiced everything. I started and just couldn’t stop.
A warning about this one: cilantro is powerful, use sparingly.
