Lean Body Challenge Week 2 Gluten Free Style

It is week 3 of the 12 week lean body challenge and I wanted to share what we had last week for our 3 meals and 2 mini-meals.  It helps a ton to prepare as much food ahead of time as you can. Have your snacks ready so you don’t reach for something like a bag of chips. Also I would double our dinner so we would have leftovers for lunch the next day.

Protein Shakes

For the protein shakes I am using Vega Protein. It is plant based, vegan and Gluten Free.  They have a Sport line that I’m using to help during and after workouts. This Performance Protein is what I am using right now post-workout. I add it to a smoothie and I’m set to go. Hubby mixes his protein powder with water only. So just do what works for you.

Here is my smoothie recipe:

My co-workers give me a hard time about this smoothie because it is green. One guy calls it “swamp water”. I just tell him I am drinking more vegetables and protein than he will eat all day!
