Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana Shake



















Hey Hey Hey,



So since i’m a runner and a vegetarian its hard sometimes to get enough protein in my diet. With that said I try and drink one Spiru-Tein shake a day. Spiru-Tein not only has soy protein and whey protein, it packs a mean punch of all your essential vitamins for the day. It comes in multiple flavors. I’m told cookie dough and cookie and cream are the best but I haven’t tried them yet! They also have your original flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla.






Some days I mix it with just water or soy/almond milk for a quick morning meal replacement. Tonight it’s almost a dessert it taste so good. I blend it with banana’s peanut butter and soy,rice or almond milk. A dessert that’s healthy, yes please!


Shake it up


1 tbsp. Peanut Butter
Half banana
Scoop Spiru-Tein Chocolate
1 Cup Soy, Rice or Almond Milk



Its so easy and yummy! I use a single serving blender but you can use a regular blender as well. All you do is add all your ingredients and blend it up. You Scream, We Scream, We all Scream for….. Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana Shake? haha I need a name for this! Help me out here!


Enjoy and Warm Wishes,
Jay

The Oscar




The Oscar

I got home early today from work and decided to make myself a late lunch. Feeling grouchy and lazy I decided to make something easy. Only using whatever I could find I created The Oscar. The vegetarian “garbage” wrap but it’s healthy. It’s named after Oscar the Grouch. Get it I was grouchy and whatever I could find in the kitchen.

The Oscar consist of a whole wheat wrap or flat bread smothered with hummus. I then cut up some avocado and lettuce and sprinkle it onto the bread and hummus. HERE is the tricky part I cut up some peppers and mushrooms and sauteed them in olive oil. After cooking I laid them on top of the bread and well that’s a wrap folks! Ha no pun intended.

The Oscar



Whole Wheat flat bread/wrap
Lettuce
Peppers (Sweet Peppers)
Avocado
Hummus
Lettuce/Spinach
Mushrooms
Olive Oil
Hummus
I usually make my own hummus but you can buy it from the store as well. Here is my hummus recipe.
1 garlic clove
1 (19 oz) can garbanzo beans
1 Lemon
1/4 cup Olive Oil


Chop or mince the garlic clove, drain the garbanzo beans, squeeze the lemon ha. Then add everything to a food processor. PRESS the button and yum HUMMUS!. Easy huh. You can also add salt and pepper or even 1 teaspoon of cumin if you’re feeling froggy.

Warm Wishes,

Bonjour!

Welcome to Foodie Booty!

Recently I turned into a vegetarian and was frustrated because I was sick of eating the same thing everyday. I decided to start getting crafty in the kitchen. I wanted to live a healthy and happy lifestyle and eating a salad everyday was not cutting it. My post will be about my crazy life and the food I put into it to fuel my body.

I hope you enjoy my post!

Warm Wishes,

Jessica
