Looking good! I am trying to keep my protein up also. I don't want to lose muscle. 

This is where you put your oat milk today. Nice source of fiber.  

sugar_plum -- I'm in the same boat on protein, especially since I'm over 50. I don't think it's necessary to get as much protein as many believe, but I find that with the amount of calories I have to play with, and going plant based, I have to be mindful to get it up to .8 to 1.1 grams per kg 

liv -- I was pretty psyched when I discovered how much protein cocoa powder has. SCORE! 😁👍 I'm also trying to work in a tablespoon of ground flax every day, but that pretty much limits me to oatmeal or smoothies for breakfast, and sometimes I want something different, so I don't always get it 

I sometimes make a microwave flax muffin. It is very quick and I really like it. Yesterday i came across a claim that putting fiber in the blender destroys it... I tried to research it but just a bunch of nonsense on the net.  

Yeah, I've seen that myth too. There's an element of truth that it becomes a little easier to digest than the fiber in whole foods, but it's not like the fiber vanishes into thin air. I do find drinking my food is a little less filling, and it's easy to rack up a lot of calories in a smoothie, so they're not an every morning thing, but sometimes they're a nice treat. I'd be really interested in the flax seed muffin recipe, if you could share or point me to it 

Looks delicious and fun Writingwyo!👍😋😋😋 

You can just check on line for recipes and variations. The one that I use is melted butter and one egg, 1/4 cup flax and cinnamon.stir into a mug. microwave for about a minute 

Chocolate yummy, where did you say you are!!! 

It's even better with avocado in it, LivinBreezy! Didn't have any on hand today  

Writingwyo, I never thought to add the avo in, thanks. 

I bet god is happy that you toasted a little “seitan” lol 

My health drink: big handful raw spinach, a scoop of Vega powder and a cup of frozen blueberries and water in blender. Drink immediately. You won’t need to eat for hours. No more BM problems😊 

Yum! PB Banana & Chocolate Protein smoothies are one of my favorite treats when it warms up outside. 

Sounds and looks good!  

Writingwyo, I have to tell you. I just love your belief that choosing a diet should be like choosing a husband!!! These should be taught in school, don't ya think? :-) 

Wow very healthy
