nuun vitamins

February 8, 2017Posted in Nutrition & RecipesTagged hydration, Marathon Training, nuun, Running & Training5 Comments

I recently had the opportunity to try out the latest product from nuun – nuun vitamins – and I am hooked! Hydration is very important to me, mostly because I hate the feeling of dehydration and the dizziness that comes along with it.

Although I still prefer water as my drink of choice, I realize that it may not have all the benefits that this product brings to the table. I use some of the other nuun products for replenishment after exercise so I love that this product is toned down and designed for everyday use to maintain and improve wellness and hydration. “Electrolytes aren’t just for exercise, nuun vitamins hydrates better than water alone“.

Highlights:

11 vitamins & minerals
electrolytes
10 calories per drink
6 different flavors
vegan
soy, dairy & gluten-free

Now that all the anniversary and birthday celebrations have passed, I’m ready to get back on track!

Falling off the ‘healthy train’ is the worst and it can happen to the best of us. I can’t wait to start dishing out new recipes again. 🙂

Happy Snacking

I’ve been eating Mamma Chia Organic Vitality Granola clusters left and right! The clusters come in four amazing flavors and go great with yogurt or even straight of of the bag.

Honey & Oats
Cinnamon Pecan
Vanilla Almond
Wild Blueberry

I love this product because they offer so many more health benefits than the packaged granola (with tons of added sugar). The clusters are packed with 10 grams of protein and are soy and dairy free.

I thought my first recipe was good but I’ve tweaked it and it’s so much better!!!

Pancake Ingredients

1 banana mashed
3 eggs beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp honey

Topping Ideas

1 banana (or fruit) for topping
Maple syrup for topping

Mix the ingredients together and fry in a pan with some coconut oil. It is so good and it holds better than my first recipe.

Enjoy! 🙂

What’s for breakfast today?

Amazing Grass Protein Superfood – Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake

Last week I tried the protein mixed with unsweetened almond milk so I decided to get creative and make a shake after my gym sesh.

Amazing Grass Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein
1 Banana
1 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Ice cubes

It was DELICIOUS – I want to drink this every day. Amazing Grass is the first plant-based protein that I’ve tried (I usually opt for Whey). It still amazes me that you can get 20 grams of protein from pea, quinoa, chia and hemp.

I am so excited to be trying all of these Mamma Chia products!!!! I love Mamma Chia because of their dedication to be a true conscious and sustainable company. They donate one percent of sales to support farmers, community groups and organizations that build healthy, local food systems.

Why choose chia? Chia seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3s on the planet. An excellent source of dietary fiber, complete protein and antioxidants, both the Maya and Aztecs held this ancient seed in high esteem for increasing vitality, strength, and overall good health.

Keep an eye out my reviews to come on these products!

Feel Amazing Every Day

I am so excited to try out this product after hearing such great reviews!

I love that this product is organic and provides all of the nutrition that I would want in a protein shake! The mix consists of 20g of plant-based protein, 7 alkalizing greens, and 2 full servings of nutrient-dense fruits and veggies. The Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor is AMAZING and can be mixed with water, milk or into your favorite smoothie!

I went for the simple mix with unsweetened almond milk following my run today and I’m hooked! I can’t wait to try out mixing it into a smoothie so keep an eye out for more reviews to come!
