As Kacey said, ?Fall and fitness have never tasted so good.? Mmmm?she’s right. Even better? It is the perfect Low Carb shake for those Carb Cycling.

2. Add ice and blend to experience healthy heaven in your mouth. 🙂

I never know what kind of protein powder to buy. What should I look for?
For protein powder, each scoop should generally be an average of 20 grams of protein and under 5 grams of carbs. Make sure you pay attention to the nutrition label as some serving sizes are for 2 scoops.

I have been doing this and bringing it on the go instead of paying for a coffee at a shop. Its so yummy and I also add cinnamon. Perfect for fall! Btw, have also been making the homemade granola bars to save money and to know what ingrediants are in what I eat (ones at the store are full or so much garbage) and they are so delicious. You and your husband have inspired my fiance and I to live a healthier and positive life!
I will try this today!! This sounds great!!
