shelf - I use vega protein (http://www.amazon.com/Vega-Complete-...3316938&sr=8-1)
Or Sun Warrior Raw Protein. (http://www.amazon.com/Sun-Warrior-Ul...3316982&sr=1-2)

both are super nutritious and they aren't filled with chemicals. they don't taste too bad, either.

I like 100% hemp powders. The added Omega 3s are good for me and I can add whatever flavors I want.

Shelf, I use Garden of Life Raw Protein or Naturade 100% Whey Protein. The Garden of Life is probably a healthier choice and keeps me feeling full longer, but the Naturade tastes a lot better and is easier to mix in my blender (a vitamix is on my wish list). In addition to the protein powder I like to add a scoop of Amazing Grass Chocolate GreenSuperFood.

Phase 2
B: oatmeal spinach pancake, sf syrup, nf milk
L: protein smoothie (unsweetened almond milk, spinach, 1/2 banana, protein powder, choc greensuperfood, strawberries)
S: peppers and hummus

another good messaged kale idea: http://www.cookusinterruptus.com/index.php?video_id=124 Super fun site, Great whole food recipes. She wrote our most used cookbook.

We use cytomax whey in a vat from costco ( 78 servings!!!!! ) Mostly it's a dh pick as he uses it daily, but it's the tastiest, most economical of the many many we've tried. I also like vanilla hemp.

The flu has hit our family because it's spring break. Every year someone is sick. weird. OP eating, but very random.
