Trust me, you do not want to miss out on these eats!
Losing weight and eating healthy can sound “bland” and boring, I get it. Grilled chicken and steamed broccoli don’t have the same ring as chocolate chip pancakes and REAL peanut butter. From one foodie to another, I can ASSURE you that not all healthy foods fit that stereotype of tastes like grass and dirt! Keep reading for some of my GO TOs for protein and nutrition bars!
Let’s keep it real… with losing over 60 pounds and now a coach to other women, I have tried just about every product under the sun regarding protein powders, baking mixes, nutrition bars, “healthy” ice cream, you name it. I’ve found some amazing products, and just as many that tasted like tree bark or cardboard if I’m being honest. When I was first starting out, I would post about the various products I used and what I thought of them on social media, both good and bad reviews, just my honest opinion… and I continue to do so. Let’s get real, if it’s bad, it’s bad.
As time went on, I posted about certain products more frequently because I believed in the quality and taste. I am humbled that a few of the companies reached out to establish a more formal affiliate/ambassador relationship and have generously provided me with an affiliate link and discount codes to share so others can enjoy the products as much as I do at a discounted rate! There is no pressure or obligation to use any of these links or codes, however your support is always appreciated, and either way, I’m glad you’re here. Below is an intro to my FAVORITE protein bar of all time and my two go-to protein powders, along with how I use them as SO much more than just a shake with water!!
The texture is along the lines of a firm cookie dough, and I am a FAN… just look at that money shot!

G2G bars have been a go-to of mine for YEARS ever since embarking on my own health and fitness journey… I’ve asked them several times if they hide drugs in these bars they’re so good, but they keep assuring me, nope, no drugs. I’m hard pressed to pick a FAVORITE G2G bar, but if I HAD to narrow it down, I lean toward the almond chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate coconut!!
This is my never gets old, FAVORITE breakfast of all time… Banana Maple French Toast High Performance Nutrition Protein Powder mixed into oatmeal topped with berries and peanut butter!!

This Planta protein (aka the Ambrosia Collective) is organic, plant-based, and meets vegan standards. Many plant-based protein powders on the market have an unpleasant taste and mouthfeel, but NOT THIS ONE… trust me, it’s almost TOO good! Coming from someone that is not vegan and has no problem with Whey protein… This is a keeper! Caution though, most of my clients end up running out of this quicker than expected when their spouses eat it all! My favorite flavors have to be the Banana Maple French Toast, Peanut Butter Banana, and the Peanut Butter and Jelly!
Another protein powder I use ALL THE TIME is Trutein by Body Nutrition Co… check out this insanely good chocolate oatmeal topped with more chocolate chips and some melted coconut butter! How could you NOT have a good day after this for breakfast?!

I personally enjoy the Trutein protein powder line by Body Nutrition Co. The flavors are unmatched, and this protein is great in oatmeal (as pictured), it bakes well, and is also good as a shake all by itself! Something great about Body Nutrition Co is the availability of ALL flavors in sample sizes for purchase… We’ve all been stuck with a 2-pound tub of protein we didn’t end up loving before, so this way you can sample all the flavors you want before choosing what tubs you want to get your hands on! My favorites have to be the Cookies and Cream, Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookie, and of course, CHOCOLATE!
