I am getting a little excited. I am almost finished developing the Closer Walk Fitness Challenge. This will be a 28 day kick start program for Faith and Fitness. Daily Bible readings, daily motivation, daily recipes, tracker, journal entries, & fitness plan for ALL levels. My goal is to help everyone develop healthy habits. By completing this program you can develop those habits. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and ideas. Also, I ask for your prayers that this program could help just 1 person.

My New Favorite Post Workout Drink!!!
In my search to satisfy my post-workout needs. I have concocted what I has easily become my favorite drink. I call it Coconut Dream Protein Blast! Catchy right!?!? Let me tell you, it is light, refreshing, and loaded with great stuff. Best of all, it is super easy to make.
Here are some great points to know about this drink:
- Coconut Milk. Holy crap this is great stuff to substitute for milk. 1 cup of fat free skim milk = 86 calories. 1 cup of coconut milk = 45 calories. But wait, there’s more. Coconut milk is loaded with Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA’s.) This is a healthy fat that makes your thyroid produce a fat burning hormone. It boost you metabolism by 56% for up to 5 hours. Even cooler, it reduces blood sugar surges by 58%.
- Calories = 232
- Fat = 5g
- Protein = 26g
- Potassium = 640mg
- Calcium = 103% daily
Here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
Coconut Dream Protein Blast
3/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Drink (I use So-Delicious Brand)
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice (I use Libby's 100% Natural No Sugar Added)
1/2 Banana Frozen
1 serving Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Trader Joe's Soy Protein as it is a a lower carb option)
Optional: Ice to bring to desired consistency
Place all ingredients in blender, blend thoroughly, pour, ENJOY!
