Breakfast Smoothie
So far this has been my go-to breakfast this week on the days that I don’t lift and get my protein smoothie… Not sure what exactly to call this either – Strawberry PB Banana Chia Seed Smoothie w/ a Matcha booster ? Fresh/frozen strawberries – I ended up using about 5 medium sized fresh…

Sunday Meal Prep
This week’s meal prep: shrimp, broccoli, sweet potato and onions. I was feeling pretty lazy so this was pretty quick and easy. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!! Shrimp – sautĂ©ed with olive oil, garlic and pepper. Broccoli – steamed with a pinch of Parmesan cheese. Sweet potato –…

Shopping Local
I love finding local Farmers Markets – partly for the cheaper produce and partly for the samples! Farmers Markets are pretty awesome if you want to get the best produce without breaking the bank. If you need more persuading to visit a Farmers Market, here are a few more. 🙂 The food is as…

Tarheel 10 Miler/Fleet Feet 4 Miler
Dropped into the Fleet Feet 4 miler in Chapel Hill this weekend in hopes of not making my plantar fasciitis worse. I did the 10 miler last year and struggled with a 9:47/mile pace. The course is difficult to say the least but pretty as it runs through UNC. This year I wasn’t exactly in…

Sunday Shake Out
I use Saturdays for my hardest workout of the week. This week my hard workout was a 7 mile hilly run followed by my leg day routine. That being said, my body hated me today! On the plus side, the weather was great so I got outside to shake out my leg muscles a bit.…

Saturday Long Run
I wouldn’t normally consider 7 miles my weekly long run but after resting my foot for over a month, this run was definitely a humbling experience. My foot has felt significantly better in the past couple of weeks so I decided to try a 10 mile run this morning to see if I could go…

Quick Spinach Salad
What’s for dinner tonight? Try this protein-packed, light and healthy salad! Spinach topped with chicken breast, kidney beans, mushrooms and tomato. I boiled the chicken breast during my Sunday meal prep and shredded it for different meals this week.. So easy! Then I prepped the kidney beans, mushrooms, tomato and spinach so that everything…

Time to Get Whey-stedÂ
So many awesome puns with Whey.. When I lived in California, I was a loyal Nutrishop customer and used Vitasport Pro7ein Synthesis for a couple of years. I got so tired of the taste (mixing it with water) that I wouldn’t finish my shakes and eventually I just stopped drinking it. Recently, my boyfriend restocked…
