Quick Skinny: No time to eat? Grab a food bar!
There are a lot of food bars on the market. My favorite is Raw Revolution. They are an independent company. This is important to me because I do not support General Mills (Larabar, Cascadian Farms), Kellog (Kashi), or Coca-Cola (Odwalla) because they have terrible business ethics & are responsible for low quality products that pollute our environment, people, & grocery stores. I personally do not like Cliff (owns Luna Bar) because their choice in over processed ingredients.
I also love this yummy bar because it delivers JUST as much protein as Clif (who uses the lowest quality protein source: soy protein isolate) & it’s 100% raw. It’s also 100% organic & only contains 6 ingredients. I do not eat them everyday, but they are great to have on hand for a quick pick-me-up during the day or after your gym session. One bar has enough calories to tie you over for a few hours (average of 280 calories) so they are perfect if you’re in a hurry & have no time for a real meal. They also make a great camping/backpacking treat! My favorite flavor you ask? Spirulina/Cashew.
Quick Skinny: Water is your BFFL
Did you know water is not only good for your skin & overall health, but it is NEEDED for a good digestive system? Good digestion mean less bloating & more frequent bowl movements AKA a flatter tummy. Grab a cute BPA free bottle at the store or reuse a glass bottle from your recent HEALTHY convenient drink & fill it up. Bring it w/ you everywhere & drink up, ladies!
