My New Website

Hi fellow followers!  This is to let you know that I now have a website that I will be using instead of this blog.  I will keep the blog up for about another week.   Please go to my website at http://www.lehahealthandfitness.wordpress.com/ and subscribe to that.  You will see some of the recipes on the blog section.  Unfortunately, I will not be transferring everything over, so if there's a recipe you really like you may want to print it out.  Thank you so much for your support!  I look forward to hearing from you on my website.

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup of skim milk or soy milk (or you can use water instead)
Directions:
Mix all of the above ingredients in a blender with a few pieces of ice until smooth.  Place a slit in a slice of kiwi and add this to the rim of the glass and serve!  Spinach is great for detoxing since it's high in calcium and magnesium!

Strawberry Protein Pancakes

Do you love strawberries?  If so, then you are going to love eating these!
Ingredients:
Fresh or frozen strawberries (I use frozen and heat them)
.5 scoop of strawberry flavored protein powder
.5 cup of dry oatmeal
1 egg white
Directions:  Mix everything in a blender (accept the strawberries) with a little water.  Pour the mix in a pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Let each side cook until done.  You can drop your strawberries on one side as the other side is cooking, or you can pour the strawberries and the juice on top.  This is great with scrambled eggs, and you can add sugar free syrup or agave nectar on top of your pancakes.  Enjoy!
