Experiments with my new blender

I have been lucky enough to score myself a new blender (Breville IKON) thanks my credit card rewards points (see not all credit cards are the work of the Devil!) and today I took it for my first test run with a variation of a Precision Nutrition Super Shake.

Here's what I had for breakfast this morning:

1 cup skim milk

1 scoop Ladybird Whey

1 banana (medium sized)

1-2 cups ice cubes

1 tsp peanut butter

I whizzed all of this together and had a beautiful banana smoothie - it made nearly 800ml of smoothie so I had no excuse to be hungry...yum.

I had Thai Satay burgers wrapped in Mountain Bread with salad for lunch

chicken mince tray 500g

1 large onion

3 slices Wonder White hi fibre bread

2 serves Taylors Thai Satay

1 egg.

Makes 8 burgers.

Then it was the old family favourite, meatloaf -with a twist. I did a semidried tomato and mustard crust for the top. This adds a lot of taste and few calories. That really helped me feel like I was eating "grown up" food. I served this with baby potatoes and steamed veggies.

My snacks today included some Easiyo yoghurt mixed with apple puree, rice cakes with spreadable tuna, cottage cheese and vegetables and a couple of juicy nectarines. I've just finished my day with a Diet Fruche (passionfruit flavoured).

People ask me from time to time what I eat - it varies every day - I think it really helps to make the effort to eat different food. That way your palate never gets bored!

Training today: Teach RPM and run easy 10 minutes (had a bit of a warm up pre RPM)
