This quick meal is a stable of my P90X diet. It’s super fast and I make it nearly every morning. You get your carbs early so you can use the rest of the day to burn them off.

What flavor Protein Powder do you use?
Have you seen in the P90X nutrition guide to stir in a cup of Protein Powder to your soup? Are you really supposed to stir in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla Protein Powder into soup???
Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
Haha, yeah, I’ve seen that! … never really got around to trying that. Though in the butternut squash soup, it might not be bad! It’s pretty thick to begin with. I think I’ll try that out this fall.
I do vanilla in the oatmeal. Vanilla Ice Cream to be exact. Preferably the Optimum Nutrition brand as I like the flavor.
