Go Raw Super Cookies

I found these at FredMeyer (aka Kroger) in Seattle.  Just tried them.  I like the crunch but the ginger taste is strong!  I think it's a great snack choice especially since 16 little cookies are 1, 160 cal serving!  Today, I ate 8 and a big 16oz glass of water.  It's going to be a hot one so drink up!

Mine includes:

1 cup diet 7 up

1 cup strawberries

1 small banana

1 scoop Aria Vanilla Protein powder

Some ice

Made plenty!  About 200 calories

I needed the banana today after a tough RIPPED workout!

Hot Chocolate

Instead of my Starbucks pick me up (usually 190 calories approx), I went with hot cocoa with some RediWhip at 100 calories to satisfy the craving while I did some computer work.

Snack time

The days I do back to back workouts, I am hungry but I try to stay focused that if I want to lose weight, I will be hungry. If I know I'm eating within my calorie range, then I am not starving.

But, snacks are important.  This afternoon: Ak-Mak crackers (2), with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Swiss & raspberry flavored water.

Chocolate Peanut Butter (PB2) Smoothie with Aria Protein Powder

Here's my post-workout/lunch meal :

My smoothie included:

- 1 cup chocolate almond milk (unsweetened)

- 2 scoops Aria Vanilla Protein Powder

- 1 ripe banana

- 1 cup ice (approx)

- 2 Tbs PB2

(About 275 cals)

Breakfast was something I made ahead & can share tomorrow.

Snacks so far are the awesome Chocolate Peanut Butter Mixed Nuts from Emerald.  I HAVE to dish out my serving and be done or I would eat them all!
