I went to GNC to ask about protein powders and they gave me a sample of Amplify. I’m drinking the strawberry right now, but I don’t really like the taste. I also ordered some perfect fit protein powder last night but it won’t be in until around the 25th. Does anyone have any good suggestions for protein powder?
starting livefit today and i’m getting ready for my first workout.
SO READY.
My Vanilla Maple Spice Protein Shake

- 1 Cup Sugar Free Vanilla coconut milk

I WISH ALL COOKBOOKS HAD PICTURES.
I almost always skip over recipes that only have instructions.
