Adventures of Protein Powder

Recently I was at Target and saw that they had Rainbow Light protein powder on sale. I had been wanting to purchase some for a while but put it off due to how pricey protein powders can be. I figured this was a perfect opportunity for me to try it out. I bought the chocolate flavor and all I can say is that I am obsessed! My two favorite things I have made with the powder so far are a microwave chocolate cake and a chocolate banana smoothie. The smoothie is by far my favorite smoothie I have ever made. It's thick and creamy and leaves me satisfied for hours. The cake on the other hand is a great way to kick those sweet tooth cravings.
