Cherry Vanilla Pomegranate Protein Shake
Shake it Up Saturday
This past week I was hit with a bad case of the crud! It totally stunk!! I was sequestered to my bed in a hazy fog for a couple days of Castle and Call The Mid Wife (both highly recommended)… Thank goodness for Netflix and DVR!!! They were total life savers while I battled away with the crud…. It took a couple days but I emerged from the crud and am feeling much better!
One of my favorite fruits of the season is Pomegranates!!! They are the best! I love the flavor plus they are an amazing antioxidant super food, linked to helping your heart and protecting your body against cancer! Check out the laundry list of benefits HERE!!! After being sick and eating crap cause lets face it when you’re sick a heaping plate of salad is the last thing you want. I decided a power packed shake with an antioxidant super fruit was just what the doctor ordered to get me back on track!!! Enjoy!!
