peanut butter cup

More rain this morning. Droplets of rain clinging to my glasses. Hordes of delighted ducks squawking on the bike path. The pungent smell of wet dog lingering in the breeze....

I bought a different brand of protein powder and road tested it in a Peanut Butter Cup Protein Shake.

• 1 scoop of powder


• 1 banana


• heaping spoonful of good quality cocoa (Dutch processed is best. Yo, Richard!)


• a tablespoon of peanut butter


• a drop of sweetener (honey, agave, etc)


• splash of chocolate milk

This new powder is very dry and soaks up more liquid than previous powders I've used, so I added a lot of water while mixing. Cold coffee would probably also work very nicely.
