Protein Power

Got a lot of protein today! To fuel for a 30 mile bike ride, I made a bowl similar to yesterday with:

1/2 banana

1/2 cup of oat bran

cinnamon

1 scoop of vanilla pp stirred in after cooking, topped with freshly made cashew butter and dried strawberries. Yum!

This was good fuel for the first ride.

We made it to the lake:

And found a brand new restaurant that served Turkish food!  This was their 3rd day in business. Yay, something new:

We ordered some lavash to start, which came all puffy off the grill looking like a football!

We poked it with a knife and it deflated to a more manageable portion, and it was delicious.  Not made with oil or butter, so actually a good food.

I also had a chicken kabob served with a tomato and yogurt sauce.  It also came with a side of white rice which I did not eat, since the bread was more what I was interested in!

And turkish coffee, which was fab, and super strong if you have never had any!

Yogurt was the stop on the way home, pretty tired by that point, and got some Only8 with espresso flavor. Num.  About 150 ish calories for the bowl.

We were quite tired, so dinner was a bit of a mish mash that I at over a period of time:
