Pina colada smoothie with spinach
Enough for 2 people:
30 grams frozen spinach
1/2 cup milk (any kind)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon coconut flakes
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
Throw all in a blender for 1 minute, and it’s ready.

This is really easy when you have all of the ingredients, and it’s delicious. Whey protein powder sounds expensive, but if you buy it in bulk, it’s less than $1 per scoop.

Yup. That's what I use. ON whey protein isolate. The vanilla ice cream flavor is pretty tasty. The chocolate isn't as good, but if you mix it with milk instead of water, it tastes a lot better.

I just read all these to my mom, not gonna mention which ones she said “yucky” to.

Well, you're spoiled. Some of our taste buds are weird out of necessity at some point or other. You get like gourmet meals maybe everyday.

4 Jumbo eggs, a 5 oz can of tuna or salmon, diced onions, diced bell peppers, cheese of your choice, minced garlic. Just scramble all that together in a skillet.

Nothing like a protein bomb scheduled 30 minutes out in the loo.

II haven't seen anyone mention my favorite summer sandwich.

Mayo, fresh summer tomato slices and crunchy peanut butter on white bread.

Convenient: (supper tonight) go to Costco and get a roasted chicken in the back, heat up two cans of green peas, and make boxed pasta salad.. Voilà!
