A note about protein shakes: I've been experimenting with having a protein shake in the morning for breakfast since I usually don't wake up very hungry and this is a quick thing I can easily mix up in a glass. I just mix two scoops of chocolate protein powder with half almond milk/half water. So quick and easy - and barely any dishes created. At the moment I'm working through a Healtheries protein shake, and after that's gone I've got a Red Seal one to try. I got both of them on special at the supermarket.
