Before I became a mom, I always worked out first thing in the morning. The last year though, I changed it up to work out during Mila’s naps. However lately, my little one has become more of a “cat napper’. So in order to get my workouts done (uninterrupted), I decided to go back to crack of dawn morning workouts while everyone is asleep. I actually really enjoy them! 
In order to make things more easier for me in the morning, I made these ziploc bags of my protein shake ingredients so I could quickly put one together after my workout. Every minute counts!
Here is what I added in the bag:
- Handful of spinach
- 1/2 cup of berries
- 1/4 banana
- 2 small slices of mango

I first saw these little green babies on Pinterest and found the recipe here.
Here is my version of them – I changed up the recipe a bit!

For lunch yesterday, I topped my zucchini pancakes with chicken breast tenderloins and a side of sweet potato mash.

Question: What ingredients do you add to your protein shake/smoothie?
XOXO,
