Adore: Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion

I think we all know how much I love my smoothies and juices in the morning.  However, I just found the perfect protein/energy/grass/100% magic powder to marry my smoothies.  It is called Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion by Amazing Grass.  Oh-my-gawd, it is yummy and ridiculously healthy.  I have tried other protein powders but really there is no comparison.  I like Vega, but I was getting a little tired of the Natural flavor.  Vega is pretty sweet because it is made by a vegan and professional Ironman Triathlete.  I really love the nutrients in Vega but really, it made whatever I made taste like grass.  I possibly need to try another flavor.  In the meantime, I am over the moon about Amazing Meal.

Here's the deal, if you aren't used to protein powder (especially the ones that aren't filled with sugar) then it can taste a bit earthy at first.  You quickly get used to the taste and compared to the Vega Natural Flavor, the Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion is de-lish! 

Amazing Grass is the brand and they have lots of products to keep you healthy and on top of your A- game.  I have only tried this.  Now don't be confused with the other Amazing Grass Chocolate products, I have only used the Amazing MEAL.

Today I woke up a bit groggy from surgery yesterday and this drink was flirting with my mind. 

Amazing Meal Chocolate Banana Smoothie

1  1/2 frozen bananas

1 hand full of organic spinach

3/4 cups of Almond Milk (I used Vanilla unsweetened) use enough for the consistency you like

1 scoop of Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion powder

Then with the trusty Vita-Mix, blend the ingredients.

I sprinkled some Chia seeds on top of my smoothie.

You are what a SMILE AND HUG ARE,

When you walk in a room, no one else is there.

 Your smile and laugh can melt a heart."

On a side note, I am sad to report that our Napa date trip has to be postponed.  I had surgery yesterday and apparently I won't be fully recovered for swimming and a massage.  We are going to wait until I can fully enjoy my time with my only worries being; do I have the Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, do I get the hot stone or the aromotherapy massage, or should I finish reading The China Study or People magazine?  Those are the things I want to "worry" about. 

Nonetheless, my birthday will rock no matter where we are.  We are hoping to go to San Fran for the night.  I know my honey will plan something special :)

So here's the deal.  My son X is probably the most stubborn eater ever.  If there is anything green on his plate, he will immediately shout no, push the plate to the ground and spill food everywhere.  Since he's nearly two, he is impossible to negotiate with.  Most every night he gets away with not eating any veggies.  I know this is not healthy, but his Dr. doesn't want me to push him, "in case he gets a bad association with food"-uh, have you seen him.  He is perfectly plump. 

Luckily for me, he loves my green smoothies.  Forgot the fact that it has kale, chard, spinach, avocado, and cucumber in it; he can't get enough.  I captured some fun we had the other day drinking our smoothies outside.  I guzzled mine down.  X drank, touched, finger painted, and explored his.   This picture put a smile on my face and I hope they do the same for you!
