7 Days of Protein Packed Breakfast Smoothies

A Week in Food

Well, I promised to keep a record of what I ate for a week, and come back and share. So here I am! In some ways this was a very atypical week for me. It featured no travel, and a couple of events so my diet was correspondingly a little random. I can spot things
