I’m baaaaack! I’ve been getting a lot of questions on my diet and exercise routine lately, and I’ve honestly been eating a lot of convenience foods so I figured I’d round them up and share my favorites. If I go to reorder and everything is sold out I’m taking this post down.

Literally stumbled upon this at Jimbo's two days ago. What a happy accident! The first thing I noticed was that it's a COMPLETE protein aka it contains all the essential amino acids. This is unlike brown rice protein or pea protein which need to be mixed together to create a complete protein.

Omega 3's are part of a 3-6-9 family made popular by Lil John and the Eastside Boys that you NEED to add to your diet. Omega-3 (and 6) fatty acid's are essential fats, which means that your body can't make them and needs to derive them from food. 9 isn't essential so we'll skip that one.

Or as I like to call it, the superfood with the weird name. Throw me a consonant and let's make it sound like a real word.

The three main tools I use are blender, juicer, and food processor. However, I lost the lid to my food processor (like…how?) so now I use my blender for anything that calls for a food processor.

The biggest thing to look out for is NO BPA. This discovery led to a mad rampage of me throwing out all my zip-lock containers and zip-lock bags, and a Saturday at The Container Store wondering how I just spent $200 on lunch containers.

When I’m not gloating over my discovery of easily replicating Starbucks’ cold brew coffee (post here), you can find me furiously whisking a small green powder called matcha into a delicious tea with numerous health benefits.

WHY? More antioxidants than blueberries.

HOW? Unlike coffee, matcha’s caffeine slowly releases.
