    Hi Ya'll

    My nutritionist told me to use my vanilla ( or any other) protein powder in my coffee, as creamer to give me even more protein. I tried it, and it was really really good. (I thought I would put this out to you since I see your holding a coffee cup in your picture) ;)

    Artificial sweetners

    Splenda is the only one that works for me. The rest make me sick to my stomach after awhile. I have been using that MiO water enhancer and gosh darn....Those are soooo good. I even got the rest of my household using the MiO instead of Kool-Aid and thats a huge step for this household!

So they have...
