Extra dose of protein!

Ooh! I went down to Toronto yesterday to see my cousin and went with him to one of his lectures at the University of Toronto. Felt kind of weird being in a statistics course with everyone taking notes. So what do I do? Pull out my folder only to realize that it has "McMaster University" written all over it. Woops :P I hope no one noticed. Hey though, I love how you don't have to pay for lectures or even university because you can always just sneak into lectures and no one will ever know (unless you whip out something from another university).

As for my little friday saturday foodie, I wanted to try protein powder :) I've actually never had protein powder... like ever. I used to have protein bars once in a gazillion years and I loved them. So protein powder it was. I picked out the Vega one for no particular reason either that it was individually packaged and I didn't feel like buying a 50$ case of protein. The single serving was 2$ and contained 2 servings of veggies, 11g of protein, and 7g of fiber. Wohoo! Oh and I picked the chocolate flavour no duh!

In terms of using the protein powder I wanted to keep things simple so I  mixed it into my oats along with some soy milk. I'll admit it was pretty chocolaty however there was too much stevia (or I'm just not used to the flavour). Hence, there was kind of like bitter stevia aftertaste that I wasn't too fond off. In terms of the protein itself, you couldn't really taste it because everything was overpowered by stevia. This was a nice saturday treat as I rarely make chocolate porridge now and my diet has been lacking veggies since university started. However, I don't see the point in spending $2 on 11g of protein as a cup of my soy milk has 9g at a fraction of the cost. Just needed to feed my curiosity!

Oh I'm also going down to Hamilton this weekend (for partying and not for studying purposes as pretty much every day) so hopefully I can get some nice pictures as Hamilton is a pretty city ^^

Did you guys try anything new this weekend?
