In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Drinking a nutritionally complete protein shake is a great way to start your day, or to provide yourself with an easy lunch or supper replacement on the go. Start by adding 1 or 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder to a blender. Since men and women have different nutritional needs, it is recommended that women go for 1 scoop of powder while men add two. The recommended amounts for each sex are only a suggestion. Add more or less protein powder depending on your personal needs. To add vitamins and fiber to your drink, choose an easy-to-blend vegetable to include. Opt for a vegetable with a light flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients. Wash and dry the vegetable and cut it up as much as possible to make it easier to blend.  Spinach is a great, nutrient-rich vegetable option. Kale and beet greens are also good choices. If you wish, mix different vegetables into your meal replacement drink. Putting fruit into your protein drink is a good way to boost the vitamin content and well as the overall flavor. Bananas, cherries, and other berries are great choices since they add sweetness and round out the taste of the other ingredients. Be sure to wash the fruit thoroughly and remove any seeds, pits, or peels before blending. Fruit like grapefruit and cranberry might be too bitter to add to a smoothie or their own, but they can be combined with other sweet fruit to even out the taste. A meal replacement drink is not complete without the addition of a healthy source of fat. Nut butters are an excellent option, as well as seeds like flax or chia. Coconut oil is also a great choice that will not overpower the taste of your drink. If you add seeds, make sure to blend your drink thoroughly to break the down as much as possible. Mix the ingredients together in the blender for 30 seconds, then add a splash of a liquid of your choice. This could be water, milk, almond milk, or fruit juice. Blend the drink again. Add more liquid and keep blending until the drink is the consistency that you want.
Summary: Start with 1-2 scoops of protein powder. Add 1 cup of a mild-tasting vegetable, like spinach. Add 1 cup of a flavorful fruit. Include 1-2 spoonfuls of a healthy fat. Mix the ingredients, then blend in a liquid.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will be placing the finished haystacks onto this. Place a large saucepan on the stove, and add in the sugar and corn syrup. Turn the heat to low/medium and wait for the sugar to dissolve. Stir the mixture often with a spatula so that it does not burn or scorch. Keep stirring until everything is smooth and melted together. Don't worry, the mixture will harden again once it cools. You will finish making your haystacks here. Try to use a rolling motion, so that you are always bringing the mixture from the bottom of the pot to the top. Be sure to stir gently, so that the cereal does not break. Try to use a cereal without any added "frost" or sugar glaze. Don't worry about making the cookies neat; haystacks don't look very neat either. You can make the cookies as big or as small as you'd like. This recipe is enough to make about 24 cookies. This will take about 1 to 2 hours. If you are in a hurry, then place them into the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Summary: Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Melt the sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Take the saucepan off the stove, and set it down onto a heat-resistant surface. Stir in the cornflakes cereal. Scoop the mixture out onto the baking sheets using a spoon. Put the tray into the fridge so that the haystacks can cool and harden. Transfer the haystacks to a plate to serve them, and store any leftovers in an airtight container.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before adding any new sand to the tank, you’ll need to reattach the drain plug. Screw it back in place at the base of the tank, making sure to tighten it in order to prevent leaks. Position one corner of a bag of pool-grade silica filter sand over the mouth of the tank. Make a small cut in the corner of the bag to allow sand to slowly fall into the tank. Work slowly and carefully to prevent any sand from spilling. Repeat until you have added the amount of sand needed for your filter.  If you are worried about damaging the components on the inside of the tank, add a little bit of water to the bottom of the tank before pouring in the new sand. This will cushion the sand as it is added but may misalign the standpipe.  As you add sand, make sure the standpipe in the center of the tank stays right in the middle and at the right height. It will need to reattach to the base of the multiport valve when you are finished, so you can line the two up to check if you’re unsure.  The amount of sand needed will vary between pool filters. Check for stickers along the side of the tank or in your tank’s manual to find out how much your tank needs to operate. Use a garden hose to add water to the tank until it just begins to cover the sand. This will give the tank enough water to clean the sand and get the pump functional before you start filtering your pool water. Locate the rubber “O-ring” around the top of the multiport valve where it will form a seal with the mouth of the tank. Apply a small amount of lube to your finger and rub it around the O-ring. This will make reattaching the valve to the tank easier, as well as conditioning the rubber seal. If the O-ring is damaged, you might need to replace it rather than just lubricating it. These should be available from hardware and pool supply stores in the size you need. Remove the tape or plug from the top of the standpipe and position the multiport valve over it. Carefully connect the opening in the valve to the top of the pipe, and firmly push the valve into the top of the tank. Wiggle it around slightly as you push it into place to make sure it is secure. Position the collar around the edge of the multiport valve and use the two bolts to tighten it into place. As you do so, alternate between bolts to ensure the pressure is equally distributed around the collar. Reattach the pipes and screw the unions on as tightly as you can to prevent leaks.
Summary:
Reattach the drain plug to the base of the tank. Pour new pool silica sand into the tank. Fill the tank with water up to the level of the sand. Lubricate the O-ring on the valve with a multipurpose lubricant. Reattach the multiport valve. Screw the collar and pipes back in place.
