My first attempt at a Crossfit benchmark workout went as expected. I could only physically finish 3 rounds although the rx is for 5 rounds. I'd like to blame on the paleo pancakes my wife made before the workout but it is probably the fact that I did not drink anything since I woke up. A big, big mistake. So "Barbara" (the name of the workout), beat me up pretty good so I returned home to eat. There was nothing quickly available as I normally drink a protein shake after a workout. The normal protein shake doesn't quite fly with Paleo. So, I improvised.
4 oz. Coconut Milk
4 oz. Water
1 tbl. Almond Butter
2 scoops Whey Protein
2 handful of ice cubes
That went in the blender and I sort of had chocolate ice cream. While delicious, the protein powder could be better quality and next time I would add a little more coconut milk and a little less ice cubes. Try it out! If you have your own post paleo meals, feel free to share!
