    You have turned me into a smoothie addict! I just tried adding cocoa powder to one – sooo good! I never would have thought to add that to a smoothie with strawberries!
    Up next – my first green monster! I’m really hesitant to try it, but I’m sure it’ll be great.

    I love making smoothies too! Have you ever tried adding PB to yours? I almost always do with mine and it’s delish :) Nonfat Greek yogurt is a great way to add protein as well.

    Random question…what brand of protein powder do you use? Or do you use multiple brands?

    I’m on a lower calorie diet to lose weight, so I got the Designer Whey that is lower calorie (100 calories and 18 g protein/scoop). The vanilla flavor is not exactly super tasty in a smoothie…just okay. I’ve heard that the Beverly UMP is the tastiest but it’s more for serious body builders…would that matter? Or maybe I just need to try a chocolate flavor. :)

    how many calories does one of your smoothies typically have? as part of your healthy approach to life (which i really like and appreciate), do you calorie count? keep track of weight? I love reading your workouts and meals, but wonder how you keep track without driving yourself crazy. Thanks!

    I noticed that you eat flavored greek yogurt and use it in your smoothies and I was just wondering (because I LOVE greek yogurt) of what you thought about the sugars in it. Do you think their bad for you?

    Stupid question: is the cocoa powder the unsweetened variety? Just don’t wanna mess it up if not :)
