I'm on a complete cheat day today, due to a plateau and I was experimenting with a variety of different things, still maintaining the ideal of healthy eating. Except with much bigger quantities :D

Anyway, a good early morning/workout starter.

1 scoop banana flavoured whey protein
1 banana
2 teaspoons of instant coffee pre dissolved in a small amount of hot water
1 tbspoon of peanut butter
skimmed milk
ice

Blend them all together for a tasty shake with a fair whack of caffeine.

This morning, I had a variation, which essentially exchanged the skimmed milk, with gold top extra fat milk (lying around the house due to my housemate buying some to indulge his coffee), and vanilla ice cream :D
Not forgetting the secret ingredient:
Green and Black's organic chocolate and hazelnut spread.
Heavenly.

Banana flavour whey is rank ;)

I know! Which is why I've been attempting to mask out the taste with real banana, and strong coffee :P
I will never EVER buy this precision engineered banana flavour whey protein again.

I have a lovely 5lb tub of IDS multi pro whey isolate to delve into :eat:
Just had a taste and it tastes absolutely incredible!

When I come off a cheat, or worse yet-a binge, I try to "shock" my system back into the "good." Usually I eat foods high in fiber, like Kashi Go Lean, or oatmeal at the very least. And then I wash it all down with Metamucil. It's probably more psychological than anything, but it makes me feel like I'm actually removing the evils.
