Chocolate and Peanut butter Protein Smoothie

This shake is great in the morning, or anytime you are dying for something sweet.  In the summertime, sometimes I cut the water in half (to four ounces) so that it is super thick and creamy, and it makes a great substitution for ice cream.

• 1 scoop Beverly International Chocolate Protein Powder (it tastes like chocolate cake mix, ummmm yes!!)
   +1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter
• 8 ounces water, or Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 3-5 ice cubes

Combine ingredients in a blender, whip, and serve!

If I'm taking my shake with me on the go, I usually put it in one of these:  These are my favorites:)  

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Recipe

One of my favorite breakfasts is Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal. I make it on a daily basis, and when I'm in a pinch....I use plain Quaker Instant Oatmeal to make it more quickly. You'll be surprised how good this recipe is. Most people think they don't like protein powder, but after having BSN Dessert Protein Fresh Cinnamon Flavor, they change their minds. This is my healthy version of the prepackaged flavored oatmeal, and it has fewer carbs, less sugar, and more protein, so it will give you longer lasting energy throughout your morning.

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal

1/4 Cup steel cut oats

1 Cup water

Just a pinch of sea salt

1 Full scoop of BSN Dessert Protein Fresh Cinnamon Roll Protein

1. Boil water (add a bit of sea salt if you like....I do:) 2. Stir in oats 3. After about five minutes, when the oatmeal starts to thicken, reduce heat and simmer for 30 4. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly for a few minutes, then stir in BSN Cinnamon Roll. This step is very important, if the oatmeal is too hot, it will alter the taste of the protein and.....well, yuck!
