marathons and meals
With my boyfriend being from Hawaii, I am obsessed with acai bowls! It was also the perfect meal after my 10 mile run this morning. 🙂

Amazing Grass Protein Superfood – Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake
Last week IÂ tried the protein mixed with unsweetened almond milk so I decided to get creative and make a shake after my gym sesh.
It was DELICIOUS – I want to drink this every day. Amazing Grass is the first plant-based protein that I’ve tried (I usually opt for Whey). It still amazes me that you can get 20 grams of protein from pea, quinoa, chia and  hemp.

Ok… I’m a huge fan!!!
These little packs are really convenient and squeeze more nutrients into your day. My favorite thing is that they’re only 70 calories so they are a perfect snack to carry around throughout the day.
There are 6 available flavors:

Yay! Breaking into my second pair of my Brooks Glycerin 13.
To be honest, it wasn’t love at first run.. I went through three pairs of the Glycerin 12 and LOVED that model. I wasn’t thrilled when I slipped my foot into my first pair of the 13’s and realized that the entire feel was different. It was heavier and cushier (which was apparently exactly what I needed). Regardless I trained and ran my first marathon with the Glycerin 13 and I love it! I’m now onto my second pair along with a new pair of the Glycerin 14.
I am so excited to be trying all of these Mamma Chia products!!!! I love Mamma Chia because of their dedication to be a true conscious and sustainable company. They donate one percent of sales to support farmers, community groups and organizations that build healthy, local food systems.
Why choose chia? Chia seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3s on the planet. An excellent source of dietary fiber, complete protein and antioxidants, both the Maya and Aztecs held this ancient seed in high esteem for increasing vitality, strength, and overall good health.
Keep an eye out my reviews to come on these products!

I am so excited to try out this product after hearing such great reviews!
I love that this product is organic and provides all of the nutrition that I would want in a protein shake! The mix consists of 20g of plant-based protein, 7 alkalizing greens, and 2 full servings of nutrient-dense fruits and veggies. The Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor is AMAZING and can be mixed with water, milk or into your favorite smoothie!
I went for the simple mix with unsweetened almond milk following my run today and I’m hooked! I can’t wait to try out mixing it into a smoothie so keep an eye out for more reviews to come!

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 ?
I’ve been experimenting with the measurements based on taste this week but all of these ingredients blended together make for a pretty awesome breakfast smoothie regardless.
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!!
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 better shape due to my injury but the 4 miler felt good! The course was awesome with a few hills and I came in with an official pace of 8:04/mile (missing 3rd place in my age group by 6 seconds!).
What an awesome way to start the weekend. 🙂
Happy Monday!
Just tried out a new recipe since I was craving some sweets: Peanut Butter Chia Seed cookies.
These are super easy and only require 5 ingredients (there is only 4 in the picture because I added maple syrup at the last minute).
