The Norma Shake

Ingredients:

  • 1 Scoop of Protein Powder (I use Vanilla Vega Sport)
  • 1 Cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 2 Cooked Egg Whites
  • 1 Medium Banana
  • 2 Tsp of Cinnamon
  • 5 Chestnuts (cooked & peeled)

NJAPP Pro Tip: The Norma packs on 42 grams of protein in a serving. Trust me, this shake will will have you singing Christmas carols 'til lunch.

Tuna +2

/

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cans of Tuna in Water (I like the 365 brand)
  • 1/2 Can of Rinsed Black Beans
  • 1 Small Glass Jar of Marinated Artichokes, strained and marinade set aside
  • 1/4 Tsp Himalayan Pink or Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Ground Pepper
  • Fresh Lemon Juice

Step 1

In a small glass bowl, mix together your drained shredded tuna with your rinsed, pat-dried black beans. 

Step 2

Add your strained, marinated artichokes to your tuna and beans party. Set aside some of that flavor-filled marinade for later. 

Step3

Sprinkle salt and pepper on your Tuna +2 bowl. Add some freshly squeezed lemon juice and pour as much of that reserved artichoke marinade as you'd like on your protein mixture. Gently mix all the ingredients together and enjoy!
