Hey friend,
I've been at it again in the "studio" (aka the desk in my home office) writing more songs...
And, since I've been getting such amazing feedback on the last songs I shared I thought I would share another today for you 😅
This song is called Nothing Is In Vain, and I wrote it as a song to remind us of the truth that nothing that happens in our lives is in vain.
It is all a part of God's plan.
One door closes, another opens...
A lifetime of trials, no promises broken...
I feel it at first, when I'm lost in the moment...
But my life is better, when Your will is spoken...
I wrote this song to encourage those going through challenges in life that might be hard to understand in the moment, to remember that God isn't done, and He's always working for good, even if we can't fully see it.

And now, here's your Feel Good Friday...
A Protein Pasta That Actually Tastes Like Pasta
I've tried ALMOST every protein pasta option on the market over the years, and it's been hard to find a high protein pasta that actually tastes good and has the same texture as regular pasta.
Pastas like Palmini have too much crunch and taste funny...
Miracle Noodles have almost NO calories, but feel slimey...
Banza tastes like regular pasta and is SLIGHTLY higher in protein than regular pasta, but still not a legitimately high protein pasta.
But Kaizen Pasta...they have pretty much nailed it.
This pasta is ACTUALLY high protein, and pretty low carb as well.
It comes in at only 130 calories per 2 oz. serving which is around 60 calories less per serving than most pasta.
It has a whopping 20 grams of protein per serving making it 61% protein per serving, and only has 6 grams of net carbohydrate putting it at only 18% net carb.
That makes this pasta just about perfect, because it actually tastes like regular pasta!
Absolute home run!

My Low Cal, High Protein Panda Express Order
If you need another great meal option to add to your toolbox when out and about, I highly recommend this option from Panda Express.
It ALMOST perfectly fits into our ideal standards of 400 calories per meal and at least 40% protein.
It is just a smidge high at 460 calories for the full plate, but has 43 grams of protein putting it CLOSE to 40% protein.
You could just eat 90% of the meal and call it a day to make it fit within our recommendation of 400 calories for a weight loss centered meal portion 👌🏼
What is even cooler, is that this is a dedicated menu option on their menu called the "Power Packed Plate".
So, next time you go in just order the "Power Packed Plate", and you'll be good to go!
