protein shake because I AM A BEAST!!

happy sunday morning! i am just relaxing at home, after going out and downing an iced venti vanilla latte. then, we got back, we decided to make protein shakes for bfast, instead of the usual egg whites and turkey bacon. i am still full from a massive glass of goodness. we got a blender last week, so t has been making them for breakfast every morning, but this was my first attempt. i'd say the outcome was b+ work. it wasn't thick enough like the delicious peanut butter split from juice generation, but it was definitely a lot healthier than that and had things in it that will help my muscles!!
first ingredients: ice (i will add more next time), a spoon of peanut butter, half a frozen banana and skim milk. i debated adding greek yog for texture but i thought the sourness would just overpower so i'm glad i vetoed that one. 
for nutrients, i added a scoop of chocolate protein powder and then an eency weency teaspoon of glutamine, which is for restoring muscles. i hope it works, because boy do my muscles need to be restored. 
this is what the final product looked like. again, a little watery but still pretty darn good. i am so FULL. 
tim is such a beast he drank his straight from the blender. now, off for my first long run in a week since my knee/quad have been really hurting. please glutamine magically heal me!
