I rode the Orange Trail at Shawnee Mission Park yesterday after work with my sister. It's only 2.5 miles, but it nearly kicked my ass. 2.5 miles on dirt, rocks and tree roots is waaaay more difficult than doing 10+ miles on a blacktop path. I don't have any serious injuries but my foot did lose the pedal at one point and I have a pretty good

Thanks! That's a great idea. The thought of tofu in a smoothy doesn't sound delicious but if I have learned anything about tofu over the years it is that it always tastes better than I expect :)

I concur with the tofu in smoothies suggestion. It makes it nice and creamy. :)

I like adding oatmeal to my smoothies to make them heartier. It's also an easy add if you make it beforehand.

Here's a fun recipe I make now and then:

1/2 cup soft tofu
1/2 cup skim milk
2 tbl agave nectar
2 tbl natural peanut butter
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 banana
2 tbl cocoa powder

It's uber-tasty, but calorific.

A simple healthy one is just the following:

1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1 tbl honey
1/2 banana
2 tbl cocoa powder

Enjoy! :)

Thanks so much! I'll try them this week :)
