FAST BAR - INTERMITTENT FASTING BARS you can eat while in a fast

To find a food that you can eat while intermittent fasting takes science. It becomes a balance of the right types and amounts of macronutrients and micronutrients to stay in a fast. With Fast Bar, you can fast on food! This is a game changer for those that fast as I do most mornings. It doesn’t take long to train your body to eat right in your window so you don’t have many cravings as you stay in your fasting state. But, there are those days you just want to grab food too soon. Here is why these bars work…

As far as the ingredients go, these FAST BAR – INTERMITTENT FASTING BARS are plant-based, Keto-friendly, and gluten-free. They are made with macadamias, pecans, almonds, and honey that has a similar fasting impact as a glass of water (see the study). These bars simply do not activate the food-sensing system so your body has no idea it is consuming food.

I grab a bar to keep in my work bag all the time. Some mornings I do fine, but it is there on the mornings I crave food. There are 3 flavors – coconut macadamia, chocolate chip and nuts & honey. I love the nuts & honey in the morning. Order your Fast Bar variety today. You will want one on hand for those days you want to fall.

Smelly Proof Reusable Storage Bags for back to school meal prep

I have had a busy summer and in all of our camping and BBQ’s, I have not been eating well. I go back to work next week and have jumped back on the healthy eating train. I stay motivated to eat better when I am prepared. To meal prep for breakfast smoothies and lunch salads ensures I will eat right. I have always hated the waste of plastic disposable bags. This year I am prepping with Smelly Proof. Their storage bags are reusable and 100% odor-proof, FDA-approved, and eco-conscious.

Food stays moisture free in the dual track zipper and strong oxygen, moisture ad odor barrier. These bags are tough! It is hard to give that effect in pictures, but to feel them and use them, it is easy to tell how solid these bags are for reuse. The large size (about 8×10) even stand on their own making it great for meal prep use!

Beyond the food freshness and eco-conscious features, Smelly Proof bags are BPA, latex and phthalate-free. They are 100% made in the USA with Polyethylene + Nylon. They come in all of the sizes you are used to with disposable bags, including an XL size.

To add, Smelly Proof Reusable Black Flat Bags are available for more than just food. These black bags have a triple track zipper for travel and even outdoor use. Like the clear bags, these tear and puncture-resistant. the black bags are even dishwasher and freezer safe.

Stop tossing plastic and meal prep, travel and store anything in Smelly Proof reusable bags. Visit Smelly Proof today and stock up for back to school.

Nuts.com has healthy delicious snacks for on-the-go

Nuts.com has healthy delicious snacks for on-the-go

Three generations ago, this brand was born to bring fresh-roasted nuts to consumers. Today, they still roast the nuts and pop their corn on the same day it ships. This is why Nuts.com is where I order my snacks for home and the office.

One of my favorite orders to make is from their single-serve packs. It is so easy to toss them in my lunch and grab up the right serving size every time. I first discovered the brand on a flight to Los Angeles. We were given plane snacks and got a single serve pack of salted cashews. They were delicious and I looked to see what they were flavored with and they were simply, salted. The taste was so fresh and I looked at the stamp and saw Nuts.com. I immediately started browsing their website that night at our hotel and found myself ordering a few packages.

The CB& J is a new favorite of mine! Whether I need a snack on the go or an afternoon treat- the sweet and salty mix is so delicious. Find nuts, dried fruit, superfood powders and sweets to have on hand. The big bags are sharable or great for snack dishes and charcuteries when guests come over. The single-serve come with just the right snack portions. Visit Nuts.com and order today. They run specials all the time, so I am always ordering with great deals.
