I started my Friday out with a cherry bomb- made using Kristen’s original recipe with hemp protein.
This was my first time testing out the nutiva hemp protein and while blending this smoothie, I kept thinking please, please don’t taste like dirt. I’ve had a few bad experiences with hemp protein in smoothies before but using only 1/4 cup in this recipe worked out perfectly. It had a grainy texture but I didn’t mind and the berries and raw cacao made this blend quite sweet.
We had a fun lunch meeting at work to find out all the new features that are going to be offered in the new release of our software. 2 slices of veggie pizza and a salad were gobbled down while watching the demo and then I was off to the train station for a weekend of Fit Bloggin Fun!
I headed straight to Amtrak because our train was suppose to leave at 2:45. An hour delay later we were finally on board.
About half way into our trip Stephanie and I decided it was time to have our own Happy Hour since we were missing the POM Cocktail Party!
Left over Irish Soda bread, almond butter, and wine saved me when I was feeling quite ravenous.
Thank goodness Isaac dropped the bread by the station (long story….) and that Stephanie planned ahead and packed a jar of almond butter!
We made it just in time for the tail-end of the Pomtini Reception.
Which means the bar was out of liquor and we didn’t get to experience the Pomtini. 
Oh well, we got our swag bags (which are awesome!!) and then headed out to find something delicious to eat with two sweet ladies, their sister and her husband. Lebanese Taverna was nearby the hotel and fit the bill.
The twins approved.
Stephanie and I approved.
It was blast chatting it up with the ladies and eating some tasty Lebanese cuisine.
Pita bread
Garlic hummus
And Lebanese salad.
All of us girls ordered the same thing and it turned out to be quite yummy. I was just happy to be eating some veggies.
It’s almost 1AM and I’ve got to be up early to work on my fitness tomorrow so I’m hitting the hay.

So jealous of all you FitBloggers. Looks like such a great experience – hope you hav a blast!
And thanks for the HempProtein idea – I received a packet for sample of that same exact brand quite some time ago, but frankly – haven’t really known what to do with it! I’ll have to give this smoothie a try
Have a fun day!!
