CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY SHAKE

From "A Whisk and Two Wands" Website

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Protein Shake

1 serving
Strawberry layer:
3/4 c unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
1 scoop vanilla, or berry, protein powder
1/2-3/4 c frozen organic strawberries (May have to add more ice if using fresh berries.)

Chocolate layer:
1/2 c unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
1/2 scoop chocolate protein
1/2 c ice cubes (about 4 cubes) 

In a Magic Bullet, VitaMix, or blender blend the ingredients for the strawberry layer, if not thick enough add a little ice or place in freezer for a couple of minutes. If it is too thin the two layers will swirl and mix instead of layer. Pour into glass. Blend ingredients for the chocolate layer. Carefully pour on top of the strawberry layer. Enjoy!

BALSAMIC MUSTARD CHICKEN

I found this recipe at everydaypaleo.com.  We made it Tuesday night and it is delicious!

2 boneless skinless chicken breast

1/4 cup Balsamic

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves of minced (or chopped) garlic

2 1/2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Rinse off your chicken breast and place them on a cutting board season both sides with salt and pepper to your liking. Place them in a ziplock bag add the balsamic, extra virgin olive oil, spicy brown mustard and garlic. Zip up the bag and massage the chicken in the bag to ensure it all gets coated nicely! place in the refrigerator and let marinade for as long as you want (mine marinated for about 3 hours, the longer the better).

To cook the chicken, place it in a skillet on medium high heat and let the pan get nice and hot. Put just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, place your chicken breast in the pan and brown on both sides. Once you have browned both sides you can turn your heat down just a little to about medium and add in some of the marinade juices cover with a lid and let the juices reduce down in the pan with the chicken. Occasionally checking on the chicken and stirring around the sauce to make sure to pick up all the yummy chicken bits on the bottom of the pan until the chicken is fully cooked.
