March is National Frozen Food Month, yes its true.  I not sure if you use frozen vegetables as much as I do, but its my main source of vegetables. Primarily because I really like fresh, fresh food and I can’t guarantee that I will use fresh vegetables before they before a science experiment in my fridge. Does that sound like you?

Well in 1924 Clarence Birdseye invented the concept of frozen food, but it didn’t take off it was marketed to the masses, after World War 2 when the country was into convenience and those god awful TV dinners.

My favorite is frozen berries, I love berries and eat them every day. I put them in my oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, I also enjoy them in a great post workout shake.  Here’s the recipe now hear me out, the ingredients may look a little strange but it tastes amazing.

• 1/2 avocado
• 1/2 c berries
• 1/4 c Gatorade
• 1 scoop whey protein (vanilla, strawberry or plain)
• 1/2 c ice

Blend — sorry werid, but tastes AMAZING.  Thanks Clarence for giving me frozen berries year round!

I know, I know there is this big peanut butter recall, but I love the stuff actually if there is a nut that can be whipped into smooth creamy awesomeness, then sign me up!

It’s National Peanut Brittle Day! So enjoy.

Peanut Brittle Protein Shake Recipe
Here’s a fun way to satisfy a junk food craving without sending your blood sugar sky-high with real peanut brittle. At the same time, you’ll be nourishing your body with lots of protein and healthy unsaturated fat.
Prep Time: 2 hours,
Ingredients:

* 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
* 2 tbsp sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix (dry)
* 1 tbsp natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
* 8 oz. water (or low-fat milk)
* 3-6 ice cubes

Preparation:
Add all ingredients to blender, whip, and serve. I like to use chunky peanut peanut butter and add it last so that it it stays chunky (like peanut brittle) but it tastes just as good with a smoother consistency.
