Healthy food & product reviews!
So I am all about protein bars, but easily run into 1 of 3 problems. They taste great, but loaded with sugar. They taste awful, but have no sugar and high protein. Or, they taste pretty good, but barely have any protein. Companies love to tag the word “protein” on things when it has 3-5 grams per serving (THAT IS […]
Alright! I got some goodies from Krush Nutrition to try out, including their Nutty by Nature Peanut Butter, made with whey protein, flax and chia, as well as their Krush Bars in Raw Cookie Dough and Birthday Cake flavor. Let’s begin! Naturally (no pun intended), I started with the Nutty by Nature Peanut butter. Oh…it’s been a while for me […]
Quest Nutrition Protein Chips! I know, I know, I am a little behind on these, and while I did get samples a little while ago my schedule is so tight I did not have a chance to post this until now. SO, Here we go! I got 1 bag of 3 different flavors to try for free from Quest. I […]
I got some new, free bars from Health Warrior. Their Chia Bars! All of the bars are vegan, a good source of omegas, and have 100-110 calories. The first bar I tried was the Chocolate Peanut Butter. LOADED with seeds, this one had a crunchy texture. It was a bit bland, with very mild chocolate flavor. I didn’t detect too […]
It’s a known fact that I love carbs. However, I’ve been upping my protein take as of lately, and on the lookout for yummy protein-filled finds. Browsing the grocery store the other day, I found these little gems- PowerBar Fudge Brownie Protein Plus Bites. The whole bag I would consider the equivalent of a typical protein bar- 20 grams of […]
Another new flavor for me to try from Zone Perfect on their Perfectly Simple line. This time, Cranberry Almond, which I also received in the mail to try for free. I looked at the stats before indulging in the snack. 170 calories, 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, 19 grams os sugar ( a little high for me), […]
Something new to try! I got a free box in the mail from Zone Perfect that had three new bars of theirs from the “Perfectly Simple” line. Inside was a Toasted Coconut flavor, Peanut Crunch and Cranberry Almond. All of the bars are gluten free, have some protein in them, and have minimal ingredients. I decided to try the Toasted […]
Another Builder’s Bar review! This time, the S’mores flavor. Who could really ever resist a S’more? Chocolate? Marshmallow? Graham crackers? All warm and gooey… Ok I’ll stop now, before day dreaming turns into my actually going out to buy ingredients to make S’mores…. Insert Clif Builder’s S’mores Protein Bar, made with natural ingredients, organic ingredients, and still some muscle-loving protein. […]
Pro Gel. What’s that? Protein gelatin, perhaps? =D I know, I never saw/heard/thought of it before, but low and behold, it exists! I got a free sample to try from the company, and with the combination of 1. Being hungry 2. Not wanting to eat junk food and 3. on a high protein diet, I saw this as the perfect […]
I’m not a meat eater. Good for my cholesterol levels, bad for my protein levels- especially since I’m a total gym bunny. So I often try to find high protein foods to supplement the protein I lack when I don’t eat that cheeseburger or steak (which, mind you, hasn’t been done since 7th grade! Wow….such a long time!) I also […]
