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 ...

Coconut Cake Batter Protein Mash

I had a great workout at the gym this morning. Perhaps it was a little artificially inspired by (cough cough) caffeine but it FELT GREAT! This marks the second week in my strength cycle, so I worked upper body, and (per my program) was able to increase my mileage to 35 minutes of jogging. Yeah! It feels great. My stamina has not returned to pre-injury stamina but I know that comes with time and persistence, so I am feeling so ...
