Once a weekend I’ll take my daughter for a walk to the local coffee shop. It’s about a 12 min walk. She’ll sit and watch Paw Patrol on my phone while I go over my budget for the month in a note book, or gym schedule, or diet. It’s my most zen time of the week 😁 Then we walk to a play ground on the way home, then home. That’s my favorite cardio, because it’s with family.

I’ll have coffee in the afternoons at work when I’m feeling like I need a boost, but it’s typically just a walk across the street to Starbucks, and I’ll order a single espresso, slam it back there the walk back to work. It’s for performance, not flavour. Other than that, I’ll sprinkle a tablespoon of ground coffee either in a pre workout shake or on my oatmeal*. As far as “having a coffee”, I rarely do. I prefer tea. 😁 Can’t remember the last time I had an energy drink. I think I had a Redbull in 2023. I only started costuming coffee last year (when I was 43). This is how I maintain a healthy relationship with caffeine. *2-3 protein scoops of quick oats 1-2 teaspoons peanut butter 1-2 kiwis or equivalent mixed fruit 1.5 scoops chocolate whey Optional cofeee grounds Optional hemp/flax/chia seeds Add water and microwave for 60sec.

Grated carrot mixed with grated apple. You need to eat it right away before the apple turns, but it’s juicy af!
