Hoo-Rag Review

Woop! Hoo-Rag was kind enough to send me a hoo-rag to review! They sent me a stylish white and black design that can be worn as a bandana, neck rag, head band, face mask, etc…
It’s slightly stretchy, so it wraps my head comfortably tightly…
About to go work out! Will let you know how it handles my sweat ;P

PowerBar ProteinPlus Drink Mix

PowerBar was kind enough to send me some samples of their new “Protein Drink Mix.” LOL. Basically, protein powder. I guess this is more marketed for folks unfamiliar or intimidated by protein powder? In any case, they sent me vanilla and chocolate varieties. Each scoop contains 20 g protein, 7 g carbs, 2 g fats, and 130 calories. The chocolate one tastes really good, but the vanilla one tastes not-so-hot. Altogether, a fine product.

Here’s some info from their ...

Ode to Protein Ice Cream: Arctic Zero

Okay, just gotta give a quick review/shout out to a product that I dearly cherish. Talk as much crap as you want about it…but I love it! Especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor- for some reason, the texture of that flavor seems creamier than the rest. Arctic Zero is…my ice cream. My “ice cream.” It’s basically glorified whey. It’s whey and water and fiber (chicory root, xantham gum, and guar gum to make it fluffy) so I can eat it ...

Pom Review

Ryan from Pom was kind enough to send me a sample of Pom- the pomegranate juices in those cute curvaceous bottles.

Pom is chok-ful of antioxidant power! Pom is a good post-workout drink because it has 34 g of sugar per 8 oz- those fast–digesting carbs you need after resistance training!

I made a post-workout shake with ½ a bottle of Pom, 1 scoop Isopure strawberry whey, a few frozen strawberries, a ...

Super Body Care Review

I first became acquainted with Super Body Care (SBC) when my boyfriend at the time would take jiu jitsu class and he would always come right home from class and immediately take a shower with SBC products. SBC products are special because they have the strength/properties to combat yucky disgusting diseases like staph!

(You’re lucky I spared you from ACTUAL pics of people who have gotten staph. Go google it for ...

My Chef By Request: Day 1

First day of My Chef By Request (MCBR). As far as taste, it was very good, everything was very tasty!! My favorite was the sauteed mushrooms for dinner..yumm!  As I mentioned yesterday though, I truly don’t think that the food added up to the carbs and calories that they said. I was wondering if I could get through the whole day ONLY eating the MCBR + protein shake and I thought so, but after I took Monkey Conditioning class and ...

Mercola's Miracle Whey- Banana Flavor

BananaMiracleWhey

After I tried the Mercola Miracle Whey in Peanut Butter Flavor (see my review (praise) here), I HAD to try the banana flavor. I LOVE banana and banana-flavored things, so I was all over it. They kindly sent me the flavor to review, and it was lovely! I have to say, that the peanut butter flavor floored me because I had never tasted such a good-tasting, actually-peanut-butter-tasting protein powder! I ...
