 Found this on facebook reel

~10 strawberries or 1cup, 150g
~1/2c ice, 150g
1/2c milk (100ml
1 scoop of vanilla whey protein

Blend for 2-3 min until fluffed up.



Magnesium

 Found this on facebook reels and wanted to remember

Magnesium citrate-supplement may help with digestive regularity and cardiovascular support. It may also help boost magnesium levels in the body. 

Magnesium glycinate-supplement is gentle on the stomach and well absorbed by the body. It may help with sleep, mood, and muscle relaxation

Magnesium oxide-relieve uncomfortable digestive symptoms, such as heartburn, indigestion, and constipation, may also  prevent migraine episodes

malate occasionally recommended to treat fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms

L-theonate may help support brain health and memory and potentially aid depression

taurate- taurine and magnesium play a role in regulating blood sugar and support healthy blood pressure.

Mayo no oil

 I found this on facebook reel and want to try it.  I know it is kind of like blended egg salad and I don't think it will have enough liquid to blend.. so I would probably put in a couple tablespoons of oil.

4 boiled eggs
~1T mustard (originally called for 45g of mustard, that is 3T, which I thought was a lot)
~1T lemon juice
1/2t salt

blend

Biscuits Cheddar Bay Sourdough

Cheddar Bay drop biscuits.  Found on facebook reels

1c flour
1T baking powder
1t salt
1/4t garlic powder
1/4t cayenne pepper
2c grated cheddar cheese
1c sourdough discard
1 stick melted butter

Mix and drop on a cookie sheet. Bake at 425F for 15min

I wouldn't put the melted butter on top after baking.
