I recently was provided the opportunity to sample a tub of Naked Nutrition's Less Naked Chocolate Whey Protein. For those not familiar with Naked Nutrition, they pride themselves on selling products with only the purest ingredients, stripping away all of the marketing and gimmicks that many companies use today. They want to help you meet your nutrition and fitness goals while being transparent about their products. You would know exactly what you are putting into your body. That is important in a world where there are lots of fillers…

The protein bar world has exploded in the past few years. Correct me if I am wrong, but I give a lot of credit to Quest for making a bar high in protein, low in sugar, and not tasting like cardboard. There are so many new protein bars out there with the majority of them having favorable taste and a healthy ratio of macronutrients.   This brings me to the Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bars.

    Your habits make your daily lifestyle fit and healthy.   Whether the first thing you do in the morning is going for a jog or you make yourself a sugary cereal. Both are the habits which give a start to your body and mind. And all the habits you have make up your whole day.

When I read on Tuesday about Quest releasing their new Birthday Cake flavor, I was excited. It was unexpected. I like birthday cake flavor anything pretty much! I saw it was a coated bar, which is different from the texture of Quest's other protein bars. I had moderate expectations, since they did have the Pumpkin Pie bars with the coating a few years back where it crumbled in a million pieces, disappointing a lot of people, prompting a lot of stores to heavily discount the bars just to get rid…

  Lemon Meringue has always been a favorite flavor of mine. Every trip I took to my Grandma's house, I was hoping to have some of her homemade lemon meringue pie. I would ask if it was there even though I knew full well it was not! It was actually my preferred pie even over pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I would eat Lemon Meringue pie every day if I could. That is in a dream world, however, since I probably would not maintain 7-8% body fat year round if I…
