Vanilla Protien Shake

Have you ever gotten hooked on a certain food and then you just keep eating it everyday until you get burnt out and never want to look at it again? Well I have with just about everything edible... besides vanilla. I've been on a bit of a vanilla kick lately- I put it in literally all sweet foods. This is a simple protien shake thats cheap, low in sugar, and you can make with only three ingredients.:

1 carton Atkins Vanilla flavored protien drink (or even vanilla protien powder mixed in almond milk)
1 tablespoon Better n' Peanut Butter
half of a large banana
ice cubes to add thickness

1.) Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend away!

Tip: This makes a good pre-workout snack because it has the right balance of protiens and sugars to fuel your body.

What is your favorite snack to power you through your excersise?

Vanilla Jello Dream

I had to have a surgical procedure done and was required to fast recently. Post surgery I felt like having something a little sweet so I made this up with some items I had on hand.

Vanilla Jello Dream (serves one)
1 serving vanilla jello
2 sliced strawberries
light whipped cream for topping

1.) Make the jello if it's not already prepared.
2.) Simply top with whipped cream and strawberries
3.) Eat up and dream away!

Ok so this isn't really a real recipe but I'm new to making up my own material and it's good practice.
