Eat. Run. Do Yoga.

It is SO FANTASTIC to be healthy again! YAHOO!!!

I slept in until 7am today and then got up to make our morning smoothies:

• Lite Vanilla Soy Milk
• Kale
• Spirutein Vanilla Protein Powder
• Banana
• Cinnamon + Vanilla + Salt

I know – boring!  I have some version of this every morning. It’s just SO YUMMY and it’s exactly what I want when I wake up. So there you go.

I walked the girls and then headed out to teach yoga at Beloved Yoga. It was kinda crazy teaching after laying around for three days – I actually felt out of breath a few times. I wasn’t too breathless though that I couldn’t go for a run afterwards! After class I ran 4 miles and walked 1 mile. It felt really good to be back

Anywho, lunch was another fruit salad with coconut and almonds – yummy! Like the morning smoothie, I’m not getting tired of fruit salad either! I also melted some mozzarella cheese on a warmed-up Ezekial Sprouted Grain Tortilla and rolled it up with some fresh baby spinach stuffed inside.

Afternoon snack: Amazing Grass Superfood in Chocolate mixed with 8 oz coconut water + an apple.

Dinner: another smoothie! DOH! I think I’m a SMOOTHIE ADDICT. A smoothieholic, if you will.

At some time during the day I was perusing the interwebs and stumbled upon a nugget of pure genuis: PBU!

PBU is the brainchild of Emily over at Curly Top. Plagued by stomach aches caused by fatty peanut butter and unable to find a suitable alternative, she created the answer to her peanut butter woes and hence PBU was born.To make PBU she mixes regular peanut butter with almond milk, and adds in any additional flavorings or seasonings such as sugar, salt, cinnamon.

I gave it a whirl tonight while watching “4th and Long” (don’t ask). When I used Emily’s ratios I came up with something that was quite runny. I added in more peanut butter, and, since I then ran out of peanut butter, I threw in some PB2. I also used a hand mixer. I unfortunately didn’t measure out the exact amounts of the ingredients I used but the the result I got is light creamy peanutty goodness.

Of course I already ate a few spoonfuls! Tomorrow I’ll be trying it out on rice cakes, in Fage, and yes, in my smoothie

Do you love peanut butter too? What’s your favorite recipe or use for it?
