RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
To get fit & healthy, when ordering out or cooking at home we must eliminate the words "fried, battered, buttery, creamy, crispy, cheesy, thick, breaded, smothered, and glazed," from our mind. We must learn the new words, "broiled, steamed, blackened, baked, roasted, light, fresh, grilled, and sautéed." The battle to get in-shape is a psychological one more than physical. Use these new words of eating to get you in the correct mindset for success with your fitness goals.

Do you like milkshakes? Try our RIO Fitness Chicago® recipe for a HEALTHY milkshake. In a blender mix:
•One organic banana
•One Tbsp of raw/unsalted almond butter (Trader Joe's brand is perfect).
•16oz of cold water (preferably filtered).
•One scoop of chocolate Optimum Nutrition Natural Casein Protein (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/naturalcas.html) which has zero artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors.
•Final count: only 335cal, 9.6g of healthy unsaturated fat, 30.6g of low glycemic/slowly digesting carbs, and 29.1g of high quality protein.
•Nice, healthy treat, that tastes exactly like any chocolate milkshake you'd get at a fast food place, but our RIO Fitness Chicago® version doesn't have all the calories, bad saturated fat, sugar, and chemicals that the fast food one will.
Enjoy!
