Peanut Butter Chocolate Shake

-


Sometimes when I wake up and all the kids are ask for breakfast, I just need a quick breakfast for myself to get me going. I also like this shake for a mid-day snack when I need something or even after a workout. This is such a thick, chocolate satisfying shake you'll never know it is packed with nutrition!

Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 tablespoons peanut butter (or any nut butter)
1/2 frozen banana
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
1 tablespoon hulled hemp seeds
2-3 ice cubes

optional add-ins
chia seed
frozen berries
flaxseed
honey (if you want it sweeter)

Directions
Put everything into a blender (I use a Vita-Mix) and blend until smooth.

If you are near the Long Island, New York area, you need to check out Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro in Hicksville. I went there for the first time 2 weeks ago when they opened and have been back many times since. We have sampled and enjoyed many items such as their bagels, sandwich bread, bistro rolls, crumb cake, pretzels, rainbow cookies and cupcakes.

Many of their items are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. I have not had a decent bagel since going gluten free.

The bistro buns were great fresh, but also great after being frozen and defrosted for later use. I now keep some in my freezer so anytime we nee

Interview on Probiotics

Interview with Registered Pharmacist John Azzarelli Anyone who knows me, knows that for years I had been dealing with digestive issues. It wasn't until about 2 years ago, that I really started to find out the things that were causing these issues. The first thing I removed was gluten and that made a world of difference! But, I still wasn't feeling as good as I should be. Then I met John Azzarelli owner of Dr. BWell Naturally in Plainview, NY. He is a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Nutritional Consultant. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health, particularly Probiotics and Digestion. He had suggested that I had yeast imbalance. I never would have thought that the symptoms I had would be coming from my gut, itchy skin, sinus congestion, headaches, breakouts, and digestive issues. Once I followed his recommended regimen I felt like a new person!! No more headaches and sinus pressure, my itchy skin was relieved and my hair and skin never looked better! I also lost
