My favorite protein powder!
A lot of you have asked what my favorite protein powder is, so I thought I’d share!
It’s BSN Syntha 6 in Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor. 190 calories per scoop with 22g protein, 6g good fat, 2g sugar, and tastes delicious! It looks like it comes in 5 lb and 2.9 lb and tons of different flavors, too.
I like to mix a scoop with ice cubes and 6-8 oz of water, then stir a ton! I’ll have one after I lift or do strength training, and sometimes as a snack if I haven’t met my protein goals for the day yet.
Just wanted to let you know if you were looking for a great tasting protein powder!
I just got a question and I thought I’d answer it publicly!
Why should I take protein powder and what effects does it have on me?
There aren’t really “effects” its not like taking steriods haha! It’s just adding more protein to your diet (instead of eating a million egg white and steaks). more protein means you have the ability to build more muscle if and only if you’re working out and weight training.
It’s good for a dietary supplement if you’re lacking in protein - that’s all!

hello-healthy-life:
recipe: vegan healthy chocolate-oat-pancakes
for one serving you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats, processed into a flour
- 1-2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tsp. agave nectar (or other sweetener to your liking)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tbsp. natural peanut butter
- 1/2 tbsp. ground flaxseed
- about 1/3 cup water or non-dairy milk
- a pinch of salt
Mix everything but the liquid and then slowly add as much liquid as you need to form a smooth batter. Bake pancakes in a nonstick-pan. I layered them with sliced bananas, some peanut-butter on top would have been great, too!
