SmarterFitter Daily

This is my attempt to keep a daily food and fitness diary. This isn't Pulitzer-winning writing; these are spontaneous, often hastily written rambles of what I eat, do and learn in my ongoing effort to feel awesome all the time. It may not always be pretty, but at least it's honest. You can find more stories and recipes at SmarterFitter.com.

Banana Protein Smoothie and Coffee

I hope @hfwhittingstall doesn't take my choice of coaster the wrong way.

Smoothie and Coffee

Icy cold banana whey protein smoothie (brrr). Cup of decaf to warm up afterwards.

A change-up from my usual choco smoothies - this one was made with banana, whey protein powder and a pinch of mixed spice. Pretty good!

Another day, another smoothie.

Today's choco banana protein smoothly is a particularly creamy achievement. Today's smoothie was an especially creamy achievement.

Banana cocoa protein smoothie and toast with PB and pumpkin butter

Toast and a smoothie

Fuel for a 7.5 mile walk in the Cotswolds. This kept me going all morning long. (Those smoothies are VERY filling - and even more so with a heavily PB'd slice of toast on the side!)

Whey protein powder, a banana, spoonful of cocoa powder, lotsa ice, and enough water to blend. My Vitamix turns this into something akin to a Wendy's chocolate milkshake. Is that such a bad thing?

Tofu smoothie with bananas and nutmeg

Banana tofu smoothie with nutmeg

I usually make my smoothies with whey protein but today I had some leftover silken tofu so used it in a smoothie. I forgot how nice silken tofu is for smoothies. It has a nice nuttiness that works really well with banana. This was about 100g silken tofu, 1/2 very ripe large frozen banana, a few ice cubes, and enough water to pulverize it in the Vitamix. Nutmeg sprinkle on top.
