This is one of my favorite ways to make a post workout shake, it tastes just like a peanut butter cup. It’s packed with protein from the protein powder but also the peanut butter. The banana will also help to keep you from being as sore the next day. Enjoy! Share it if you like it

On Tuesday It was raining and though it has been raining a lot over the past couple of months, I can’t say I recall noticing a rainbow. So, I decided to take pictures of the rainbow while Camron and I were driving around town running errands.
I also found a recipe for Balsamic Tofu and Pineapple Avocado Tacos on the blog Rabbit Food For My Bunny Teeth. I decided to make it and these are so good! They are also vegan friendly. I will definitely be making these again! Tofu is made from soybeans and is good source of protein. I know that a lot of people don’t like tofu or think that it is a weird thing that only weird people eat. If you learn how to cook and season it properly it tastes great!
Check out the recipe on rabbitfoodformybuunyteeth.com
Pics of the rain/rainbow and the Tacos I made are below.

I haven’t been in the mood for salads at all recently. I usually eat at least one salad a day so maybe I got burnt out? I wanted to make sure that I am consuming enough greens as well as iron. Vegetables, especially greens are power food. Kale and Spinach are great sources of iron so I decided to include them in my morning smoothie. I put together this smoothie to get a mix of nutrients, enzymes and energy. Enjoy!

It’s starting to cool down where I live. I just swapped out my summer clothes for scarves, sweaters and leggings! Unfortunately where I live Fall only lasts about a month, then it snows and it’s practically Winter. I have a few things I think would be really fun to do this fall so I put together this list of Fall date ideas. These can easily be activities to do with friends or anyone really.
Let me know which ones you will be doing this Fall and If you have other cool ideas please share them below in the comment section.

Scavenger Hunt. Find online or create your own photo scavenger hunt to complete together. Go all over town trying to complete the things on your list and after you’ll have great pictures!
Rock Climbing. If you are new to rock climbing go to your local rock climbing gym and take a lesson together.
Decorate Pumpkins. Instead of the usual carving of the pumpkins, try using paint and glitter to decorate pumpkins together.
Haunted Gingerbread House. Put together and decorate a gingerbread house with a Halloween theme.
Wine and Painting. Grab a bottle…or two of wine and paint together. There are step-by-step painting tutorials on YouTube that you could follow along with. You could sign up for a class if you prefer.
Halloween Costume Shopping. Go costume shopping together.
Backyard Camping. Set up a tent with a lot of pillows and blankets. Bring out a laptop to play scary movies. Bonus points for having a camp fire and cooking dinner over it.
Picnic. Go on a hike and bring along lunch or even dinner. Bring blankets if it is a colder day.
Cook together. Cook dinner and or a fall dessert. Watch a cooking show or find a YouTube tutorial to follow along with.
Go on a Bike Ride. Go through a neighborhood with a lot trees to see the leaves that have changed color.
I started PiYo a few days ago. I did the first four videos for the first week. During the Align: The Fundamentals video I burnt about 150 calories. I will continue doing the PiYo videos but not only those videos.
PiYo is a Beachbody program lead by Chalene Johnson.This is a 60 day program based on yoga and Pilates movements. I originally wanted to do this program with P90x3 as well. P90x3 videos are only 30 mins long so I figured it’d be a great way to intensify my workouts.
I am sure I am not the only one questioning whether this workout is enough to get great results. I did want to see the true results with just this program, for myself but also so I can share it with you guys. Honestly I did not feel like I was done, I could and wanted to keep going. Based on the calories I burnt each workout (about 150) and how I felt, at least for me, one PiYo workout is not intense enough. I will add other videos like P90X3 along with it.
I will be only consuming 1200 calories base, so not including what I burn and eat back. For example. If I burn 300 calories, I can eat 1500 calories for that day. I will only be doing this for the first 3 or 4 weeks. I will then continue on after with a maintaining diet of at least 1700 calories base. So I would probably be consuming at least 2000 calories with a workout each day.

If you are interested in the idea of doing a PiYo and P90X3 hybrid, you can find the calendar for that here.
Have you started PiYo? What do you think? Are you interested in doing the hybrid? Let me know in the comments below!!!
