I start my day with a protein smoothie that has many different greens so I feel I get much of my protein and greens in before I even get in my car!

Here is a great recipe that is easy I found so if you want you can do the same.


Barry Zito Protein Smoothie


I was thumbing through ESPN the Magazine and found this smoothie recipe by Major League Baseball pitcher Barry Zito. He says, “I came up with this after a bit of experimentation.” Usually that is when the best smoothies are made, I think. He added, “Protein smoothies can suffice for a few of your meals, but a lot of the remade smoothies or shakes are too chalky. Stevia is a key ingredient because the raspberries can be bitter.”

Ingredients:

* 2 cups of various frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
* 2 cups of vanilla rice milk
* 2 scoops of whey protein
* 1/2 packet of Stevia.

Simply blend all the ingredients until smooth and pour into a glass

Skipping workouts when you'd rather hibernate on the couch is tempting, but do it too often and it’s bound to affect your bottom line. The question is, how much? Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center found that women moved the least in winter, translating to a 10% drop in calorie burn compared with summer months.
Need help getting motivated to move? Instead of hauling to the gym, try a fun winter-only or indoor activity that burns just as many calories as a typical workout. From ice-skating to bowling, you'll surely find something you love
