Day 19 - Boulevard of Broken Blenders
Of all of the things that I have come to know and love during my AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge, the AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shakes are my favorite. It is weird because I have NEVER been a drink my calories type of lady (unless you are talking Margaritas). Over the last few days, I have fallen into a routine of having a salad for lunch and then about mid afternoon, I make a shake. It brings great excitement to my day. I look forward to these shakes and I love them.
My family has also jumped on-board the AdvoCare Meal Replacement shake train. They also love them. We make each other taste our new concoctions. I feel like each of us tries to up our game to have the tastiest shake.
So, the blender has seen quite a bit of action in the last 19 days. I had just gotten back from the store with a bag of frozen bing cherries. I was about to win the Marxen AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shake concoction game. I put everything in the blender, hit the button, there was a moment of blending and then nothing. It died. It just stopped working. I tell you what...my plans have failed miserably over the past few days (sneaking popcorn in the basketball game, egg salad made with Greek yogurt, etc). I think all of these failed plans is making me a stronger woman, forced to think on the fly or at best, come up with a new plan. There is no way that I was going to not have this shake. I had been thinking about it for the past 1.5 hours.
So, I checked for a back up blender. Nothing. And there it is was...out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the Cuisinart mini-prep plus. My old veggie chopper, used for soup prep. Within seconds, I had dumped everything into the Cuisinart. I was back on track. YOU CAN NOT KEEP A GOOD WOMAN DOWN. It was so delicious. So messy, but so, so delicious.
