Fabulous Finds Edition 1

What kind of friend would I be if I didn't share some of my favorite and fabulous finds of all kinds???? So, every once in awhile I'll share some of these finds with you. They range from foods to fitness gear to supplements and beauty finds. I definitely think these things are worth sharing and hope you find them as useful and fabulous as I have and they become some of your favorite things!


Tastes great and there's only 30 calories in 1/4 C and sugar free!!!!

LOVE this! PB2 is a product from Bell Plantation and I've used it for awhile (had to order it) but our local HEB is now carrying it!!! Hooray! It's only 45 calories per 2 tbsp vs the leading brands are 160-200 calories per tbsp. PB2 only has 1.5 g of fat compared to 16 g in other brands! It's a MAJOR find for the calorie and health conscience.

I'm sure you have all seen MiO now but you can find their ENERGY versions popping up at gas stations across the country now! Great for that extra kick through out the day. No sugar and calorie free just like it's predecessor.

A MUST HAVE in my kitchen! For clean eating, I always use this to sweeten things instead of honey and white refined sugars that are loaded with calories and bad bad bad for your body! Use Stevia as another alternative to sugar.

I'm sooooooo excited to share this one! I love love love these Diet Turbo Teas by ABB Performance. I drink one before every workout to give me that extra push to keep going and WITHOUT the jittery "my hearts gonna leap outta my chest" feeling!!! Comes in Lemon, Green and Raspberry flavors. Find them at HEB or your local GNC store.


A fabulous alternative to margarine or butter. I use this sparingly along with butter spray! I always recommend using Extra Virgin Olive Oil first but if you need that buttery texture, this is a must!

Egg Whites give you lots of protein without the added fat from traditional eggs. So add some egg whites to one or two whole eggs to cut your fat and up that protein baby!!

For those who have trouble with dairy, this is a great find! Although a lot of you know how much I rave about Almond Milk some have express the need for something without the almonds so, meet Coconut Milk! I use this in cooking healthy desserts as well as mixing with my protein shakes. Try something outside the box. Contains only 90 calories per serving.


That's it for now. Figure that's plenty to get you all searching and experimenting for now. Keep on the look out for more of my fabulous finds!

Happy Healthy Cooking,
Nic
