puerto rican food????
Malanga is my best friend! I’m very creative in the kitchen and there’s nothing I can’t make that’s sleeve friendly. Sometimes it just has to be small portions but otherwise if u can cook you will definitely make changes that are delicious and suit your needs! By the way I use brown rice to make rice with gandulez and it’s delicious.

Drinking before or after protein shakes
I know that I should not drink 30 minutes before a meal and 30 minutes to an hour after a meal. What about before or after protein shakes? Do they count as a meal or as a drink.

I love coffee
Hello my name is Ladydeenj and I am addicted to coffee!!! So..... having to stop it was so difficult! The choice was decaf or nothing and for a week I chose nothing!!!! However, the feel of a hot cup of coffee early in the start of the day was greatly missed! So.... I decided on decaf, 1/2 cup with Carmel premier protein!!!! There is a God!!!! Holy smokes that was delicious and fulfilling and yes folks it’s a love connection !!! 3 cheers for living la vida loca.
