It's almost 1pm on Sunday afternoon and I am slurping up the most refreshing protein smoothie. It may not look glamorous, but don't judge a book by it's cover because it is one fine blended piece of art. Cooking is art, yes? Or blending shall I say? I digress.
This makes one very large bowl for a very hungry Spartan (I just finished Spartan practice) or two smaller servings for two less hungry people who just need an afternoon boost. I needed to fill my stomach so I made sure to amp up the ingredients and macro (proteins, fat and carbs) content.
I feel like a very sharing person today so here is the recipe:
- 6 large frozen strawberries (Mine were fresh when I bought them and I waited until they were very ripe to freeze them... I think this way brings out the best flavors- instead of using frozen berries from a bag)
- 1 large handful fresh baby spinach
-2 pinches of flaxseed
-1/2 individual bag of Vegan1 Vanilla Protein Powder (I think this specific protein makes the "creamy" taste. Link below for the protein powder)
-1 cup almond milk (I use Silk)
-1 tbsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp honey
-3 ice cubes
Place all the ingredients into a blender and let it rip. Enjoy!

This is more of a question for you! I need advice. I have been battling acne for the past couple months due to stress. It is mainly on my jaw line and neck. It is not cute, nor is it fun. I have tried many things:
-Spirulina capsules
-Various vitamins
-Smoothies packed with veggies/fruits
-Lemon Water
-Oil washing method
-Frankincense
-Commercial Acne washes
-Exfoliators
-Raw honey masks
I was recommended to a great dermatologist from a client which I am beyond thankful for, but if I can holistically remedy this, that would be great. If not, the doc is my next option. Do you have any advice?
