Some thoughts and discussions from me.

Pssst! Have you signed up for the #MoveHappy Challenge yet?! If not, check it out here!

One of the top 3 ideas that I preach to my clients day after day is that they don’t need to wait until tomorrow or Monday to ‘start’ or to ‘get back on track.’

Friday night I had movie theatre popcorn, so we just went out for ice cream, too. That kind of set the tone for the weekend, so I’m back on it now that it’s Monday!

No. No, no, no. You can get ‘back on it’ right this very second. All you have to do is make your next choice a healthy one. Do you know that you’ll feel sick to your stomach after eating that second bowl of ice cream? Enjoy the first one, put the spoon down, and grab a glass of water. Boom – back on track.

My friends at NOW Foods share my passion for helping others make healthy decisions now by doing what they can to enable others to live healthier lives by making natural and organic products at a good value.

I have to admit it – I’m a sucker for health food stuff. I could spend a few hours in the supplement aisle at Whole Foods, or get lost in the natural beauty section at Lucky’s Market or Sprouts. What can I say? The natural food and body industry fascinates me.

I’ve actually bought NOW Foods products for quite some time before learning more about them at Blend, and then even more after Alana reached out to me about their products. For quite some time, I’ve been all about their Cookies & Creme Whey Protein and jojoba oil (used as part of my nightly face wash – see full face wash ‘recipe’ here.)

But when Alana reached out to me about this giveaway, and rattled off the list of products up for grabs, I had to pick my jaw back up off the floor!

Avocado oil? Vitamin B dissolvable packets? Those are two of my faves from the bundle above, but what I was really impressed with was their new plant protein complex:

I’m always on the lookout for tasty vegan protein powders. I’m far from being a vegan, but I do like to rotate my whey powders for vegan once every 3 months or so. My reasoning is because it’s easier to develop an intolerance to something like whey, that’s so very concentrated, when ingested once a day, erryday. It’s really just a precaution – not that I don’t tolerate whey now, or that it’s bad for you or anything.

Anyway, I’m happy to say that in a field of vegan protein powders ranging from dirt-tasting to pretty-decent-tasting, this one’s up there on that scale! I didn’t even have to use handfuls of fruit to mask the taste – it’s a good tasting protein powder!
