Less Traffic, More Protein
No traffic today. Got to work 10 minutes early, as usual. I listened to Weezer on my iPod, because it's good mood sort of music. Yesterday I could only stand very gentle, calming sort of music, like Garden State Soundtrack, Death Cab for Cutie, etc.
Now on to the subject of breakfast, because I know you're really excited to hear about it. I've tried drinking Naked Juice's protein shake before, but it was pretty gross. The taste was okay (banana coconut) but the texture was grainy, scratching my throat on the way down. On the plus side, I only drank half the bottle and felt full. Today I tried Bolthouse Farms' protein drink. I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes great! In fact, it tastes like eggnog. It's actually a blend of chai tea and soy protein. I was a little hesitant to try it because of my experience with the Naked Juice version, but I'd read that it's best not to consume too many carbs early in the morning because that can affect how much you eat for the rest of the day - you start out with a lot of sugar and you get hungry faster. So I decided I needed to consume protein so that I'd feel full longer. I'm really happy that I found a source of protein that I actually enjoy drinking. Yay!
