Day 7

BAM! One week down. Maybe we can actually pull this off! It's funny, I feel a "reversion to the mean" in both good ways and in bad. I'm not craving normal foods as much as I was a few days ago, but I'm gaining some weight back and my energy levels also seem to have dropped back to normal (needing an afternoon nap, tired by the end of the day.) Perhaps my body is accepting RoboShakes as the "new normal" and re-calibrating itself to be back where it used to be. Then again, I've had a busy start to the week, so maybe I'm just tired from that!

Day 7
Shake: Pineapple, Kale, Peanut, Raisin, and Almond Milk
Shake Cost: < $7.45
Body Weight: 160.8lb (-3.0lb total)

Spirulina

I did an experiment today and swapped some of the kale in my shake with dried spirulina powder. Man, that stuff is insane! It is aggressively green and smells like the entire Pacific Ocean was dried up and concentrated into a jar. It tastes the way fresh cut grass smells, except with fish mixed in. I wanted to see if some of the shake recipes that include it might be worth trying, and while I didn't find it repulsive, I definitely can't see myself drinking it all day every day. Also, it's pretty expensive and my wife was not a fan. So that seals the deal: No spirulina in RoboShakes!

  1. The Pacific Ocean in a shake! Okay, maybe that wouldn't fly off the shelves...

  2. Not even if you tell people that it turns their teeth green?
