This may not be the most beautiful smoothie in the world but it was absolutely delicious and loaded with "good for me" ingredients. Now I am not a huge fan of Hemp Protein Powder due to the strong distinct taste but found this Warrior Blend to be quite delicious. It definitely had a hint of the Hemp Protein flavor but nothing that could not be masked by the other ingredients.
The Nutritional Stats on the Warrior Blend are great: 82 calories per scoop, 1.2 grams of fat, 0 sugars and 17 grams of protein.
If you are interested in giving this protein powder a try Open Sky is having a promotion on it today! Click here f or more info.
I am off to work on my to-do list and am feeling pretty good because I have checked 3 items off it already. I love having productive days. I would also love for you guys to send "good vibes" my way. My hubby is taking his final as we speak and any extra good thoughts are always welcome.
Don't forget to send me some of your cookie recipes..... I think this is going to be fun! My email address is abigail.white@eatdrinkandbeaware.com
Have a Happy and Healthy Day! Abby |

I hope everyone is having a great day. As many as you know, I LOVE to bake and try to make my baked goods a wee bit healthier without sacrificing taste therefore I thought it would be fun to have a Cookie Makeover Exchange. What exactly does that mean?
It means that if you send me your favorite cookie recipe I will attempt to tweak the recipe to make it a bit healthier so that you can feel good about giving out those sweet treats to your friends and family!
I have a bunch of baking to do this week and as I was deciding how to tweak some of my own favorite holiday cookies it occurred to me that I could do the same for you! So if you have a recipe that is "oh so good" but "oh so bad" at the same time send it to: abigail.white@eatdrinkandbeaware.com and I will try my darndest to make it a happier and healthier cookie.
I am up for the challenge and look forward to seeing everyone's holiday favorites.
Now since I am intending on whipping up a bunch of goodies I have been trying to balance my diet with some healthy choices. I am so in love my my smoothies these days and was lucky enough to receive a fun package in the mail from Sunwarrior.
They sent me a sample of all of their products and I can't wait to to try them all. I am already a big fan of the Sunwarrior Raw Protein Powder but have been curious about their new Warrior Blend Raw Protein Powder. This is made up of Raw Pea Protein, Raw Cranberry Protein, Raw Hemp Protein and Coconut MCT's (medium chain tryglycerides).
What makes WARRIOR BLEND so spectacular? Synergy! Each ingredient is exceptional alone, but when selectively combined in a revolutionary new proprietary formula, WARRIOR BLEND is overwhelmingly superior to any of its single components. This dynamic fusion creates a unique, raw, plant-based protein with a complete amino acid profile, exceptionally high in Glutamine, Arginine, Lysine, Luecine, and branch chain amino acids. WARRIOR BLEND is the next generation raw, plant-based protein - an easily-digestible, nutrient- dense superfood, perfect for those who want to be ultra-healthy and fit. Best of all - It tastes phenomenal!
