Chocolate Avocado Protein Shake

I tried Avocado in my protein shake for the first time this morning!
I was super skeptical about this and thought it would make it taste like dis..gust..ing -- plus I could get the same creamy consistency from greek yogurt, unfortunately all I had was blueberry flavored.... so the ripe avocado on my counter would have to do.

Well, after my workout this morning I went to make a shake - and I was all out of my favorite protein shake mix, but I had some ISOFlex Chocolate Mint in my pantry so I figured it would have to do as well- Plus its only 110 calories, 27 grams of Protein, NO sugar AND Aspartame-FREE!! .

The one and only reason why I am not a fan of ISOFlex is because it has a really thin consistency and if you try to blend it with ice it gets foamy on top... ICK!! I'm sure its great for those who just like to mix it with water or milk in a "blender ball" mixer. (If you are looking for a ready to go just add water and ice in the blender then I recommend Advocare Mocha or Chocolate because all you have to add is water and ice and it's like drinking a milkshake! However I do not recommend the vanilla or berry - the vanilla has a weird constancy and the berry as a artificial berry flavor)


Okay back to the avocado in the protein shake -
I recently joined DailyBurn (a workout video steaming and recipe site) and they had a recipe similar to this one so I figured I would give it a try! I was super pleased with this shake and will definitely be making this again!

Recipe:
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
Cocoa powder/CocoaVia - makes it super chocolaty
about a 1/4 of an avocado (Adds about 60 calories to the shake)
Water - (or milk if you are trying to gain weight)
3-4 cubes of ice

Influencer Box - VEET® EasyWax™ Electrical Roll-On Kit

I signed up for Influencer a while back to get free product boxes and this is my second box! The influencer program is easy, all you have to do it review products on their site and use social media to get your reviews out to the public. Every so often you are asked to do a survey to see if you a a match for the next VoxBox product review. If you are chosen then you will receive an email with a confirmation number. The VoxBox is then shipped to your house at no cost to you. All you have to do is take a picture of you box and review it! Simple as that! This month I received the VEET® EasyWax™ Electrical Roll-On Kit VoxBox. Influencer says this is to get your "Legs Summer Ready" but I can't let my my hair grow out long enough to use it. However, the new trend in China is Hairy Leggings! GROSS!! Looks like the VEET will be a bikini-line only venture for me!! I haven't used it yet but as soon as I do I will let you know how it compares to Sally Hanson, Nair and Nads - All which I have used (If there was AA for beauty products I would be forced to go by my family and friends) Stay tuned for the review!! "I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."

April Klutch Club Box

Klutch Club is always doing some kind of sale on their boxes and best-of- boxes and if you are patient you can usually get them FREE or half price. (P.S. They are running a Free Box promotion right now!) They ship their boxes out on the 15^th of every month and claim to have over $50 worth of products in every box.

Men/Women’s Box= $8/box for year, $9/box for 3 months, $10/box per month ($8 shipping)
Men/Women’s Best-of-Box = $17/box ($8 shipping)

Their boxes are always jam packed with great new stuff to try. I definitely recommend this box out of all the “Health and Wellness” type boxes however it does cost a little more that some of the other boxes.

 

This month’s box had a lot of great stuff including Yurbuds - ear buds made for a woman’s ear. These are the best headphones I have ever used! They don’t fall out like the Iphone ones and you don’t have to put them around your ear.
