If you’re losing muscle, try protein shakes, here is the recipe for my protein shake I talked about on yesterday’s radio show:
4 oz brewed coffee (kcup, instant, french press- doesn’t matter!) (5-8 cal)
1 banana (100 cal)
1 cup of ice
1 cup of so delicious almond milk plus protein (70 cal)
1 scoop of JJ Virgin’s chai all-in-one shake mix (80 cal)
1 tbs cocoa powder (unsweetened) (20 cal)
put all ingredients in a blender, blend and drink! VERY filling. and YUMMY.
I like sun warrior protein powder too.
The protein bars I’ve been eating are the Nut Butter Buddha bar and the GO FREE dark chocolate crunch bar.
The chocolate bars I LOVE are Almond butter and puffed quinoa from Hu Kitchen they can be ordered online HERE as of today!
My favorite cleanse/juice company is Love Grace Foods. Love!
Also a little too obsessed with annie’s strawberry “fruit” snacks and the ginger people’s gin gins…
back on Dr. Drew’s show tonight on HLN – here’s a picture of my “mermaid” hair from two nights ago.
Leave any other food/diet questions in the comments.

That protein shake recipe looks amazing! I definitely can’t wait to try it! I love that there’s coffee in it to get you going i the morning!
I usually make mine somewhat similar (yours looks way better) but I use this iced coffee flavor protein: https://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/protein-powders/chike-nutrition-protein-iced-coffee-14-servings.html
Loving the blog, thanks again! 🙂
Jenny says
My protein sources are vegan and soy free. I don’t eat dairy! The one you linked is whey which is dairy.
Instant coffee granules are easy to dissolve and use with any flavor powder. Jj has ones that are chocolate and vanilla too!
BetH says
Omg…could you look any more gorge?!?! Fabulous!!!!!

Hi Jenny! I have loved watching you co-host Dr. Drew’s show. You are such an authentic personality and it was fun going through your website. I have been struggling to lose weight for a couple years now and I had no idea you had lost so much until I visited your site. Cant wait to read your book! Btw I loved the mermaid look!

Couldn’t wait to order the Chia powder so I just used a vanilla powder I could find here. OMG!!!! This is so good. I will make sure my daughter tries this before she heads back to college in the fall. She would so drink her food before eating. She just doesn’t take time to sit and eat.

I have to admit, not a fan of yours and find the persona grating, pretentious and noxious. But this is one of those rare tv indulges that are so bad they’re good. It’s what made The alexis and u show so appealing. I rarely see such unabashed self-centeredism on display at one time. I truly adore you for that because it’s so weird yet you have no idea how it actually looks. Now that’s good TV. VCR date: CALL GIRL: Nurse Jenny. Yes.
Jenny says
Had to laugh from your comment. As long as you choose to watch then I’m
Happy… Pretty much regardless of your reason for watching!
Jan Wenn says
That’s why I watch now. And I generally dislike HLN: It never shows what America wants coverage on. I mean who cares what kind of sentence Jodi Arias gets. That does not deserve wall-to-wall coverage when there is a doctor trial going on for infanticide after snipping newborn’s spines with scissors. Jodi Arias is basically serving as TV filler which is proven by HLN’s dismal ratings. But you do have a great attitude for negative, opinionated commentators. Maybe you can show Piers how to do it correctly and not offend his viewers when they have differing views.

I tried this recipe with the Sun Warrior chocolate powder this morning (I had ordered trials to be sure it wasn’t gross before committing to a whole container) and this ROCKS! Yum. Thank you for sharing this with us. I love listening to your show.
Jenny says
So great right?! Jj’s powders are also excellent especially bc they have fiber.
And all soy free, dairy free, and gluten free sources of protein too.
Shari says
Love JJ’s vanilla powder. I Try to have a shake every morning. Welchs fruit gummies took over my diet today. Ugh so gross but so good!! See you tomorrow in Ct. Good luck. You will do great. Caught a little of Fridays …no need to be nervous . . I promise to laugh !!!
Jenny says
See you tomorrow! I’m ready. Speech is a little long! So much to cover haha.
Thanks for being so supportive. I appreciate it!
Jan Wenn says
Right now the jury is considering almost 300 counts of Pa. abortion act violations and murder. Do you think it could be mentioned maybe once on the Headline News network? Y’know, since it is a headline and murdering infants is sort of news. That’s okay if you don’t want to. At least your audience will know where you stand should you choose to stay silent.
Jenny says
It is the most disgusting trial and situation. Abhorrent and vile. That doctor is evil.
But I don’t control HLN content!
Sharyn says
Hi Jenny-
Love your recipe and the idea of adding coffee although here are some great other ideas – swap out the cocoa powder for cacao powder which is the rawest form of chocolate and a superfood. Cocoa is highly processed and stripped of most of the health benefits.
Thank you for introducing me to Love Grace – I am obsessed.
I use Rockin Wellness for my shakes – they are a LI based company and they are getting huge – have you tried? http://www.rockinwellness.com The yummiest shakes ever – basically a superfood shake. I blend with frozen fruit, almond milk or coconut water, 1/2 banana, and usually a spoon of nut butter. They have an immense facebook following.
Loved your hair on HLN and your show!

Jenny says
i am looking into their shake mixes now! i totally want to try them. yes, love grace rocks!!!!
Jan Wenn says
gotcha. thanks. I had a feeling you wouldn’t stay silent about it if it was your show. Which, by the way, it’s starting to look like you will have one of your own on HLN, sooner rather than later. Whatever you are doing, they seem to like you. Maybe you could pitch something that would be interesting to them. Your foot is already in the door.
Jan Wenn says
say, how come you don’t go on your own website very often. you shouldn’t replace posting on your own site with posting more on someone else’s. People like your website postings more than tweet tweet tweet
also, that would be cool if you gave a shout-out to alexis. for no apparent reason.
Jenny says
I post here as much as I’ve time to do…
Jo Sweeney says
Jenny, I love your radio show and am so enjoying you on TV with Dr.Drew. Your honest and genuine reactions to the information presented on the program are both refreshing and entertaining. Your presences on the panel makes me feel more like we are having a discussion in a living room somewhere, and not watching a group via HLN television. Hope you will continue as a regular on Dr.Drew and that we will continue to see you more and more in the months ahead.
Mike C says
I like your perspective.
Travis told Jodi the she betrayed him. That’s because he found out that she had that taped phone sex conversation and he probably felt, if she slashed his tires it’s not inconceivable she would play that for the Bishop.
Hence, the comment about fearing her. RSVP
