Nutrition Bar

Luna Bar Minis

After unsuccessfully trying several other nutrition bars, I found these little gems!  They are low in sugar, calories and fat and yummy!  They are a great pick-me-up pre or post workout, and have lots of additional nutrients our bodies need!

Cookie Treat

Newtons Fruit Thins (Chocolate Raspberry)

Sometimes you just have to have something fruity and chocolate!  These lovelies are just the thing to feed your craving!  A serving is 3 large cookies, so you can save on calories by enjoying just one cookie!  Not only are these low in calories, sugar and fat; they also have added fiber and protein!

Post Work-Out Shake

Plant Fusion Protein Powder

After I had my weight-loss surgery, I found that I had developed an intolerance to whey products.  I had also experienced a change in taste. The protein drinks I had previously enjoyed were now very sweet to me.  After my hair began to fall out from lack of protein, I went on a mad hunt for a protein drink I would be able to digest and enjoy!  I found this vegan protein which is non-dairy and no-soy.  I was pleasantly surprised to find it also tasted great and did not have gritty texture like many other drinks.  This powder is easily mixed with water in a shaker and has
no chalky aftertaste! 
 With 21 grams of protein, and plenty of amino acids, this makes a great post-workout solution!
