I just bought my first vegan protein powder. Raw garden of life vanilla. I bought it because it was the cheapest non-soy one available :P It is a bit grainy and there's no way I'd eat it on its own, but it tastes great in oatmeal with some fruit :) I wouldn't say that I love it, but I think I'll buy it again when this one…

I haven't been successful with any less than 2T of chia seeds for 1 cup of liquid. If mine are too watery I'll add some shredded coconut to thicken it up~ yum!

Open your diary! :) Do you use a measuring tape to track your size progress? When your body changes, you see it every day and it is really hard to just "notice." It helps so much to measure and record inches every week or so. Also that much exercise seems outrageous to me. With 2.5 hours a day and 1500 calories? How do you…

Steaming is great to get really soft veggies :) I like it because you don't need to add any oil.

The feeling of focusing totally on your body and your motions. Nothing else matters, not your nagging boss, not your ****ty car, not your overdrawn bank account, not the fight you just had with your boyfriend. It really clears my head. I feel refreshed (and exhausted) when I'm done.

Lara bars! (my favorite is chocolate chip cookie) They also have fruit flavors like cherry pie, apple pie, which might help with your fruity sweet craving

I like to mix instant coffee with chocolate protein powder and almond milk. Super healthy mocha!! My favorite smoothie is just frozen banana chunks. Maybe a tiny bit of water or milk to help it get started blending. It has the texture of soft serve ice cream. :'D Great to mix with cinnamon, or cocoa powder, or peanut…

What's up ^__^ I was a vegetarian for 5 years, just recently made the switch to vegan. So far it has been an adventure, there's milk in EVERYTHING wow >__> Feel free to add me :)

I took a long break from logging, but I just started again last Friday! I'd love to have some friends come and make sure I stay accountable :) Feel free to snoop in my log and send a friend request if you like~

Overnight oats!

These are so good! I love them. They hit me really fast too~ But, the 8oz can has 200 calories for only 8%abv, so I rarely drink them. So much sugar!!

Soup and salad. Add nuts to the salad for good healthy fats and a bit of protein :)

Today I'm eating cabbage soup because I made a pot special for St. Pat's. Tomorrow I'll probably eat cabbage soup again because I accidentally made WAY too much. Maybe the day after too, if I can't manage to give any away. Not sure if I'll eat any more after that for a while though :P

Overcook your vegetables so they are super soft. Lentils have a good amount of protein.

You can lift that all by yourself? No way!

I'm going to take a nap after work, go pick up my boyfriend, eat some dinner, and go out dancing! I love to dance!! :D Dance until I fall over, then come home and sleep in~ Hopefully I can get my bf drunk and then he'll dance with me instead of just standing at the bar all night :P

Lift weights for fat loss/strength gains, yoga for flexibility/relaxation, dancing for fun :)

Any fresh fruit and vegetables. Love apple slices with cinnamon!

Mix it with mashed banana, vanilla extract, bit of salt and baking powder. Microwave mugcake, banana bread style~ top with chocolate chips or nuts if you like :) Try searching for "peanut flour" recipes too! PB2 is just peanut flour mixed with sugar and salt~ I like to buy protein plus peanut flour from IHERB because it is…

Anything Dada Life! Super high energy electro house :) They release a new hour long mix every month or so, perfect length for a workout. Makes you wanna STOMP STOMP STOMP

I'm 22 and 5'4" :) Right now I am about 145 lbs and I'd like to get down to 130/125. I log on nearly every day and like to chat and share recipes. I am a vegan and love to dance! Feel free to add me~!

Chia seed pudding! Mix 2T chia seeds with 1 cup almond or your choice of milk. Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour, overnight is best. You can mix in stevia/sweeteners, vanilla or other extracts. Sometimes I add shredded coconut or fruit~ yum :)

It wasn't as tomatoey and spicy as I remember regular chili being. It was really deep and intense. Kind of smokey. Almost reminded me of a bbq sauce kind of flavor? I added a ton of hot sauce to the top. He'd probably like it! the quinoa seemed a good analog/replacement for ground beef. They're both kind of round shaped :P

TRUTEIN. Nothing else compares. Smoothest texture, no weird chemical aftertaste. It is a whey/casein/egg blend. Just divine~ My favorite flavor is cinnabun but they are all really good.

Cherub! https://soundcloud.com/cherublamusica Sort of hipster/pop electronic music. Good summer mood :)

You should check out "protein plus peanut flour." You can buy it online, I got mine from IHERB. So much cheaper than PB2, more protein, and has no added sugar or salt. You can add as much or as little as you want.

Bring the shake and oats separate, then mix right before you're going to drink it.
