If you've ever happily downed a delicious, fruit-filled smoothie only to find yourself starving again an hour or so later, you know: in order for smoothies to be filling, they need to contain some protein. Otherwise, they might be a tasty treat, but they're certainly not functional. So, if you're whipping up a smoothie with the intention of it being a filling breakfast or a post-workout snack, you'll need to make sure there's some protein in there.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
