Banana Nut Protein Icecream

 The weather is getting ready to be warm and I love to eat ice cream and chocolate frozen yogurt.  I am contemplating about purchasing a small indoor ice cream  maker so that I can perfect my recipe. I make some protein ice cream. I played with it last week and made some banana nut ice cream. The recipe is as follows:
10 oz skim milk
1 banana
2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 quest banana nut bar
6 pecans
I took the milk, bananas, and vanilla protein powder and mixed it together.Poured the mixture in a bowl and  I took the quest bar and broke it up in the bowl..placed the mixture in in the freezer for about 1 hour took it  out and stirred it up and mixed in the pecans. I placed it back into the freezer for 2 hours
I must admit it tasted pretty good...The quest bar made it really chewy and the pecans made the mixture crunchy~it helped curve my desire for something sweet.

However, I will continue to put one foot in the front of the other one and continue to move forward‼️

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
