It’s Lit

WoW...ok, well CONGRATULATIONS to you as well !!

I sat there thinking: “you can’t get blood from a rock” which is I could hear my Nana say. I even asked her why does she prefer man made protein over nature. She has no real answers except that the body burns energy chewing over drinking. I also see soooo many forums that encourage people to so smoothies !! It doesn’t matter.
