Protein Plus Shrimp

I have finally made it to Chicago and been loving it! Mostly because my sister and I have really been rockin the kitchen! I've made so many new recipes that have been so fun, and also visited some great restraunts. Heres a little recap of some recipes:

Protein Bars
2 cups Peanut Butter
3/4 cup agave or honey
3 big scoops of protein powder
1 scoop of fiber boost if you have it

Add if you want:
Sunflower seed
Pumpkin seed
Flaxseed
Chia seeds

Here's a recipe from Kath Eats Real Food Blog that we tried, and even added chicken! Great soup for the week!
