OMG Food!

I decided to make a list for you all of interesting food finds that are nutritious choices. I guess you could say this would be my version of "eat this not that". This edition will feature go to and easy packaged food options for when cooking fresh meat and veggies is not alloted in your time commitments. Ideally all meals would be clean and fresh, but let's face it, we are human and we have busy lives. Sometimes we have to improvise.


These EAS Advantedge protein shakes on the go are carb control and delicious! Each one ranges between 100-110 calories with 17g of protein and only 0g sugar and only 3g carbs. I turn to these on busy surgery days when it is difficult to fit in a hot meal.

I have talked about these Think Thin bars before. They are so tasty, protein packed and have little sugar. I save them for in the am due to the fact they pack alot of carbs. 



I found this cereal a few months back. I save it for when I have an old fashioned cereal craving in the morning sometimes. It is delicious and only 90 calories, 2g fat, 13g carbs, 7g fiber, 1g sugar and 12g protein. Pretty awesome for cereal if you ask me!
Ok, so I found this today and have to share it with you. I LOVE almond butter! I crave a big spoonful almost everyday pre workout. I discovered powdered peanut butter today. Something about the process of making it cuts out ALOT of the calories and fat which is why I always felt guilty about sneaking that spoonful of almond butter in. You mix it with water and honestly its not that bad. I prefer almond butter and so far I have only found peanut butter, but that make it with chocolate too!

Magic pop!! For when you need that crunch but want to save in the calorie department. One tasty piece is only 20 calories, 0 fat, 0 sugar, and 4g carbs. No real nutritional value, but again, they are there for when you need to crunch something.
And for my last go to item (for this edition anyway), I present you Fage greek yogurt! Protein packed deliciousness.


On another note...I have a secret confession. I used to dance competitively as a clogger. :) I say that because I am currently giddily watching the Rockettes Christmas production and remembering as a little girl how much I wanted to be one. What Christmas movies are you watching?

Be Better!
I have a special recipe to share with you tomorrow so stay tuned!
