Uber Bar Review
My friends at Larabar sent me four of their new granola bars to try out, the Uber Bar! Yum! The first one I tried was the Roasted Nut Roll, for one of my morning snacks while at work. The bar tasted delicious! It was chewy, sweet and salty at the same time. The only thing I don’t like about this bas is the calorie count–220 calories for one small bar and only 5g of protein. I like when my bars have tons of protein in them to keep me full. I ate half the bar for snack and saved half for later on. These bars would be great to keep…

Recovering with Cheribundi
I have something fun to announce! You might remember a few months ago I reviewed Cheribundi, the tart cherry juice. Well, yesterday I got an awesome package. Cheribundi has offered to send me cases of tart juice to refuel with during marathon training! I’m so excited. Tart cherry juice has amazing benefits when consumed after an intense workout, it is supposed to reduce muscle soreness decrease inflammation. When I drank it after my half marathon in April, I did notice I wasn’t as sore the next day as I usually am. So I’ll definitely be drinking my share after my long runs this summer and fall throughout marathon training. FYI:…

Cheribundi Tart Cherry Juice Review
After hearing good things about tart cherry juice, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try a new product that is supposed to be beneficial to runners. I haven’t been doing many reviews lately, so I figured now would be a good time! Cheribundi contacted me asking if I wanted to try their five flavors of tart cherry juice. The flavors: tru cherry, skinny cherry (lower in calories than tru cherry), ginger cherry, cacao cherry, and whey cherry (with protein). Disclaimer: I was not compensated to review this product. Cheribundi sent me the juice to try and review for the blog. All opinions are my own. When cherry juice is…

Detox Update
You may be wondering the status of my detox this week! I started the detox on Monday. Tuesday I ate pretty much the exact same thing. I’m happy to say its been going pretty well…I only strayed once yesterday. For breakfast I had a protein smoothie, which was made with frozen bananas, almond milk & brown rice protein powder. Lunch was another version of the veggie pupusas, but without the salsa and spinach and I turned them into tacos for easy portability, along with lots of fruit and nuts for snacks. Dinner was where I strayed. I was pretty hungry when I got home and I flipped through the cookbook…
