Kingdom Conspiracy: Returning to the Radical Mission of the Local Church by Scot McKnight

A friend from Church asked what book that I was going to read in the new year. Well, this is tricky for me because I have books that I read on my own and then there’s book I read for my classes.

One of the books I’m reading for class early on is Kingdom Conspiracy: Returning to the Radical Mission of the Local Church by Scot McKnight.

Kingdom Conspiracy

I’m not going to say much about the book yet, but I’ll probably post a book review later on this year after I’ve read it. You can read the description HERE if you like to (it makes no sense to copy and paste it into this post).

There’s also a Kindle version.

Good Deal on Protein Powder

By now, you’ve probably seen various posts on our Facebook and Instagram where we talk about the 6-week challenge at Pro-TF. One of the things that we keep getting asked about is protein powder.

One of the trainers at Pro-TF actually recommended this San Diego company to us and we’ve been very happy with them so far. While placing our first order, we found out that we can go pick it up in person at the warehouse within a day. The shipping is not very expensive but the day we ordered it we had also run out of protein powder so picking it up in Vista, CA the next day was perfect!

We also found out that when ordering more than 7 pounds of one blend we get 5% off the total automatically. Then we also got promo code JOHN316 from a friend, which gave us an additional 5% off. Combined with free shipping, not bad for our first time ordering!

One of the cool features of the True Nutrition website is that you can build your own custom blends. For us, we generally use the pea protein isolate so that part is easy for us. The part that’s harder is choosing just one flavor! There are around 20 different flavors to choose from. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup is our favorite so far!

One piece of advice: if you add “boosts,” like we did, changing the “flavor intensity to “heavy” is well worth it because it masks the flavors that are added from the boosts. So far, we’ve only added the “Multi-Vitamin & Mineral” boost as well as the “Electrolytes” boost. This is because they have so many things in them that we like and need, especially Magnesium and Potassium. What’s really cool too about the custom blend builder is that it gives you the Nutrition Facts as you build. And then it also gets printed on the label of the container.

make-it-yours

Last but not least, you can also give your special blend a name. So the next time you order, you can just choose the blend you already know and love. On the other hand, maybe you still want to experiment before you name your perfected creation… don’t worry: your custom blend will be named “My Custom Blend #XXXXXXXX” and assigned a unique number (in place of the Xs) by default.

Green Tea Summer Morning Smoothie 

Our newest morning favorite is a green tea smoothie we like to call the green tea summer morning smoothie. It’s easy to make and only has 5 ingredients
To 24oz of unsweetened, cold almond milk, add:

Blend on high for 30 seconds. Enjoy!

Optionally, add a couple of ice cubes before or after blending. We’ve found that we like both options to make it colder or the no ice option with cold almond milk, either way it’s awesomely refreshing and boosts focus!
