Recipe : Espresso & Vanilla Milkshake

This milkshake is packed with 26g of protein and is low in calories (75 to be exact!), you woll satisfied and full. This recipe required use of tofu, but I promise you won’t taste it. Does tofu even taste?! Anyway, just enjoy the creamy texture, zero sugar and much-needed caffeine for a breakfast on-the-go, or as post-workout re-fuel for those tired muscles.

INGREDIENTS:

½ pack silken tofu*
1 shot espresso (or 1 tsp coffee granules in 1/8 cup hot water)
½ tsp pure vanilla
1 cup water
½ tsp Natvia (stevia) or ½ raw honey (if you like it sweet)

METHOD:

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend it until smooth.
Serve in a cold glass, with a few ice cubes if desired.

Tips:

*Don’t sub the silken tofu with hard tofu – you’ll end up with a very lumpy milkshake!

If you can handle dairy, try adding plain Greek Yoghurt instead of tofu.

How to Not Have a Period

The beach vacation you have been looking forward to for months. The 22 hour plane ride to Tokyo. Your honeymoon. What do these things have in common? They never fail to fall during your period. “Surely, if we can put a man on the moon, then we can get rid of periods?” You wonder in frustration, as you pack extra sanitary gear in your bag. The answer is “yes”. If you are extra nice to your neighborhood gynecologist, she can likely help you with your period predicament. The menstrual cycle is a result of a delicate hormonal dance.

After the egg is released, progesterone halts the growth of the lining, and the uterus waits for the arrival of an embryo. When no embryo arrives, progesterone production stops; it’s this lack of progesterone that triggers the vacation-ruining period. Altering these dance steps with some additional hormones can usually result in a delay in the cycle until a more op...

Top 10 Health Tips for Women

Let's face it, ladies: Doctor visits are short. And they're getting shorter. What if your doctor had more time? She might tell you the same things that OB-GYN Alyssa Dweck, MD, co-author of V Is for Vagina, wants you to know. Consider Dweck's tips your prescription for a lifetime of wellness. 1. Zap your stress. "The biggest issue I see in most of my patients is that they have too much on their plates and want to juggle it all. Stress can have significant health consequences, from infertility to higher risks of depression, anxiety, and heart disease. Find the stress-reduction method that works for you and stick with it." 2.
