Mail time: Plant Fusion Vegan Protein Powders!

I wasn't expecting to be doing a blog on this today, but the package came & I was too excited to not share this right away with you guys!  I recently spoke with Scott of Plant Fusion to inquire about their protein powder.  I'd heard a lot of great things and wanted to try the different flavors before I bought a tub because something like Chocolate Raspberry sounds great in theory, but can go terribly wrong in powder form, haha.  I am excited to say that he went above and beyond with this package!  I can't wait to try all of the flavors out & give a full write up because I know a LOT of protein powder users feel the same way about flavors as I do.. "could be good, could be very, very bad."

Mailtime & Review: Sunwarrior Protein & Supplements!

I spoke with Ashley at Sunwarrior to find out more about the brand and she was very friendly and customer service oriented!  She sent me some samples to try out because, as you guys know, Clancy is helping me eat better and we're about to join a gym... he's essentially my personal trainer.  He makes me smoothies pretty regularly, and I bought myself a blender bottle for on the go.  Several of these mixes are perfect for just mixing with "milk", water or coconut water on the go, so I took them to work with me and drank them during my long hours in retail.  For those of you who don't know, that's putting a LOT of trust into the brand, haha.

Snow Day Smoothies!

These have nothing to do with snow; in fact, they're much more tropical & fruity than snowy. The only reason these are snow day smoothies is that I'm in the midst of a snow day!! =D

Not pictured?  The bananas.  This was after
I'd made the smoothie.. hence the drank from glass.

In this smoothie:

• 2 medium bananas
• 1 small orange [I suggest using orange juice/orange juice concentrate instead]
• 1 cup of Trader Joe's Strawberry Soy Yogurt
• 3 tablespoons of Freeda Ultramino Protein Powder
• 2 dropperfuls of Bioray Loving Energy Tonic
• ~6 ice cubes
• enough "milk" to make this 32 oz (about one cup?); I used Trader Joe's Original Almondmilk
