Last week I hinted at a refined diet and exercise regimen that I am on after a visit to my doctor (I'll share more when I get things ironed out, promise). I was eagerly awaiting my January Essential Rewards order because, well, this:
I ordered Mister for John, and En-R-Gee for me (those long days at work, man…). Since we are both hitting the gym 6 days a week, we knew it was time to look into a pre- or post-workout protein supplement. I am really digging PowerMeal. It doesn't have a gritty texture, and I add it to water or my kale/apple/kefir smoothies right after working out. It's a complete meal replacement as well, which is perfect for my breakfast.
John digs it too:
But you guys came here for the meal plan and link up, didn't you?
In this week's meal plan (which is a photo of our menu board in our kitchen), you'll find several homegrown or local item from our urban homestead. Of course, there will be a few repeats throughout the week since we try to eat in-season and lots of leftovers for lunch. Breakfast is usually a smoothie or steel cut oats; something that can be prepared quickly in the morning.
