What's in your protein drink?

Do you drink proton drinks? 
This is interesting information from Forensic Food Lab.

Metals analysis tests conducted via ICP-MS and are only valid for the lot numbers mentioned here. These data are offered in the public interest for the purpose of promoting consumer choice for healthy food.

All I'm saying is be careful with your choices. Eat your protein, and once in a while have a protein drink. Buy your food from farmers in your area. Always buy grass fead beef (www.flyingjfarm.com) and free range chicken.

Stay Healthy,

Real food - Oats and Peanut Butter Blondies

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11721387/?claim=3rvp3qxw4p4">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>


Why should you eat old fashioned gluten free steal cut oats instead instead of other kinds of oats?


**Lower glycemic index and blood sugar response
**Greater satiety (you feel fuller, longer)
**Greater vitamin and mineral content
**Greater overall nutritional value

Besides, if you're like most, you'll MUCH prefer the firmer texture and nuttier flavor of steel cut oats over mushy, bland instant oatmeal.

But even steel coat oats can be pretty plain by themself, so here are a number of ways to spice up your morning oatmeal and turn it into a bowl of certified deliciousness®:

1. Add honey and berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries are all extremely low glycemic and are packed with inflamation and disease fighting antioxidants...drizzle with a little honey and enjoy the sweet goodness. Very filling, fiber packed...you'll love it.

2. Add unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia, and banana slices. This is another one of my faves. 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder contains only 12 calories and adds another 2 grams of fiber to your oatmeal! Sweeten it up with some stevia or truvia, and then top with banana slices. Tastes like dessert...only it's oatmeal!

Make sure you soak all your grains. Put them in water with apple cider vinegar the night before and they are ready to cook in the morning. Please don't cook them in the microwave. 

Yummy recipe from: http://blog.julesglutenfree.com/2014/01/peanut-butter-blondies/#sthash.Hr3WVFRW.dpuf

Peanut Butter Blondies                   
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (Earth Balance® Natural Peanut Butter) 
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted) or other vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar or unrefined coconut palm sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 KIND Bars, chopped (I used Peanut Butter-Dark Chocolate + Protein flavor)

Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. Lightly oil an 8×8 baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, oil and brown sugar. Once mixed, add in milk and vanilla extract. Slowly stir in Jules Flour and baking powder. While the mixture will be thick like dough, not like batter, it should hold together and not be crumbly.

Press gently into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Chop 2 KIND granola bars and sprinkle over the dough, pressing any larger chunks gently into the top of the dough.

Makes approximately 25 blondies.

These blondies tast great! My husband also loved them. Sorry to say they gave me gas (sorry they did) so I won't be eating them again. It was the peanut butter. I don't do well with nuts. Is there a food that you eat that causes gas or bloating?
