Have you every had one of those days where you felt hungry shortly after eatting breakfast.  That was me this morining, so I made smoothies, it was really good so I wanted to share it.

Protein Smoothie

1 Banana

1/2 c. frozen Raspberries

1/2 c. Frozen Strawberries

1c. Almond milk

1/2 c. Orange Juice

1 scoop protein powder

1 scoop fiber greens (GPRX  Jordan Rubin Product)

1Tbsp. E. V. coconut oil

 Blend the first 5 ingredients about 1-2 minutes then add the rest of the ingredents.  Enjoy!!!

Almond milk is made from almond nut and its great if your lactose intolerent or avoid milk.  This is a great way to boost your matabolism.

Matt. 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Well Sunshine and I have now walked 5 days together. Today was our first outing in the Spring weather and it was a lovely morning save for that one of my dogs decided to bite Sunshine, ripping her brand new jacket. It has been decided in our home that the dog will be going to the next available Obedience Class.

Anyway… in the five days we’ve walked we’ve logged close to 20 miles! As I suspected my scale stopped moving but today after increasing my calories a bit the numbers finally moved. In all I have now dropped 18 pounds. Praise God! After the many years I’ve struggled with the low fat mentality, I finally have found a  way to lose weight that is not leaving me hungry and tired all the time.

The health benifits have been rather astounding. I stopped using Advair for asthma about two months ago. At first I needed to use my rescue inhaler 2-3 times a day, but as time has passed, I have been able to go without using the inhaler but once in the last ten days. Last night I made the mistake of turning on a dusty ceiling fan so I needed the inhaler but only needed one “puff”. What has truely suprised me is that Sunshine and I have been walking 15 minute miles and the exersize has not produced an attack. The whole reason I started using Advair is the exersize induced attacks. In the book “Eat Fat, Lose Fat” they go over several physical conditions brought on by lack of good saturated fats in the diet. Seems our lungs need saturated fat to function properly and asthma can be caused by a low fat diet.

If you like dressings a little bit more flavorful you can increase the herbs by a 1/4 tsp I suppose. I like it the way it is and it had the seal of approval from my picky dressing eater.

Better than WishBone Italian

1/2 a large Shallot
5 large cloves of Garlic
1- 2″x 2-1/2″ inch chunk of Red Bell Pepper
2 tsp of Rapadura
1 tsp of dried Basil
1/2 tsp of dried Orgeano
1/2 tsp of dried Tarragon
1/2 tsp of Sea Salt or to taste
20 turns on my grinder of Black Pepper. So to your preference.

1 Cup EVOO
1 Tblsp of Stone Ground Mustard
2 Tblsp Flax Seed Oil
4 Tblsp Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Peel shallot and garlic chop coarsely, dice red bell pepper. Take all vegetables plus the dry ingredients and mince finely on a wooden cutting board. (or food processor.) Wisk together some of the EVOO with the mustard to emulsify the oils. Place minced mixture into a clean 1/2 pint jar and add liquid ingredients. Allow mixture set out overnight to bring the flavors together. The dry ingredients should soak up most of the vinegar leaving a mild vinegar taste. Actually the Original is more vinegar tasting.
