In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

February 28 already?! I can't say that I'm sad to see this month go. I always look forward to the first signs of spring in March! Hopefully the lion won't stick around for long and it'll go out like this....

Baby animals brighten my day.
I was planning on reviewing my February goals this month, but looking back on old posts I realized I never set any. Oops-a-daisy. That's probably a good thing though, considering that if I can't remember to write them down, there's no way I would have remembered to accomplish them :) I've already got two goals lined up for March though, so I'll talk about that tomorrow.

While straightening up my cabinets last night, I discovered a container of Minute brown rice I'd totally forgotten I had. I decided to incorporate it into this morning's breakfast and put together a bowl of protein-packed vegan rice "pudding."


Last night, I combined:
 - 1 c brown rice
 - 1 mashed banana
 - 1 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior protein powder
 - about 1/2 c almond milk
 - maple syrup to taste

I let it all sit in the fridge overnight, then topped it with walnuts and cinnamon for a little flavor and healthy fat.


The result was delicious. I love the texture of rice puddings!


Time to get this day started- happy Monday!

What's the March weather like in your neck of the woods? Is next month looking lion-like, lamb-like, or a combination of the two?
