Breakfast in bed, homemade cards and no fussing. Ahh, can’t everyday be Mother’s Day? Unfortunately, no, but I’m still smiling from a most excellent time yesterday and I’m looking forward to using one of the gifts my little people gave me.

A BlenderBottle. Fun!

Yes, I’m excited to but this baby to good use as I love drinking protein shakes after my strength training workouts but don’t always want to clean use the blender. It will be perfect for when I’m on the go and working out at Atlanta Fitness Diva again. It’s important to feed your muscles protein immediately after working them out (within 30 minutes is ideal).

So now I’m on a protein smoothie recipe hunt. I’ve already found a few from my friends in Udi’s Gluten Free Living Community. I’m a community leader there and even thought I’m not gluten free I’ve found it to be an awesome resource for great recipes, entertaining ideas and we have a blast on our live chats. Peanut butter and bananas seem to be popular in the smoothie thread; oh and lots of berries and greek yogurt, too. You can check them out for yourself at Udi’s Gluten Free Living Community; and if you know of any good protein smoothie recipes please do share. I’m ready to SHAKE things up a bit …
