Packing in the protein!

I’ve decided to change up my breakfasts. I kind of am in a rut and will move to protein smoothies for something different.  We use this brand of protein:

It’s unsweetened and unflavored so it can be used in all kinds of applications.

My smoothie this morning had frozen peaches, protein powder, almond milk and ground flax seed:

Not the best shot, but 7 am. Whatever 🙂    This was pretty good and really very filling.  Not sure if it would have lasted me until noon when I normally eat lunch since I had to eat a little early.  Lunch was a standard Fage 2% with sauteed apple and dried cranberries:

After lunch was movie time. I didn’t really have Monday off, but with the postal service being closed, only UPS orders needed to be packed, which meant I could take some time off in the afternoon. The family went to see Bohemian Rhapsody:

I really liked this movie, although (SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t seen it)

…..

As far as I know, Queen never broke up. Freddie did do solo albums, but he was also recording with Queen and the Live Aide concert was not a reunion for the band. I guess they did that for drama?  I guess with like with most biopics, truth is bent quite a bit for the story.

…..

Anyway, long time readers know how much I love Queen and if you love their music you should go see the movie.

Dinner was more protein and something I haven’t had in months – salmon.

This was a maple bourbon marinated salmon from the fish department at Hannaford. I have this love/hate relationship with fish. Or maybe like/hate since I don’t really love fish. Seafood  yet, but not fish.  Salmon is the one I eat more than others and this was pretty good. The side was riced cauliflower and sweet potato.  All in all, salmon is really filling for me – think it must be the fat 😀

Tonight is relaxing with some football and candy corn!

I’m going to go for two in a row and post tomorrow’s eats as well. 🙂

    I swear Helen texted me a picture of that same side dish yesterday – I have to try it! Although not with fish because I have a hate/hate relationship with all things fish and seafood.

    I want to see Bohemian Rhapsody!! Queen’s songs were huge in my teen years. 🙂

      Yeah, I go a long time without eating fish. Then I feel like having it and after doing so realize why it was so long since I ate it. 😀

    I’ve been buying the frozen pre-riced/spiralized veggies and have to say, for convenience I love them. Not to mention I’m getting more servings of veggies in! Lots of times I fix Bobby rice and have riced veggies or mix the two for myself.

    I’m so picky about seafood and fish both! I’ve just about decided I really only like cod or flounder.
