Friday Favourites

I've decided on making a post every friday, of my 5 favourite health tips! :) HERE WE GO

1. Instead of salad dressing, which can easily make your salad... not so healthy. Use olive oil, lemon, salt&pepper, and some garlic! I actually prefer this over any type of salad dressing! It's so refreshing!

2. For breakfast I like to eat granola, almond milk and grapes. Its a lot healthier for you than a bowl of cereal with milk. The almond milk I use in called Almond Breeze and it is 40 calories per serving! I buy the box of Blue Menu granola from superstore and put purple seedless grapes in it :) It is my FAVOURITE thing to eat! You can also put blueberries or any type of fruit you want in with the granola! I eat it cold :)

3. Sometimes when I'm getting a bit bored of green tea, I will mix green tea & peppermint tea together! It adds such a nice flavour! Not only will you get the benefits of green tea; weight loss, healthier immune system & great skin. But with the peppermint tea, it helps getting rid of headaches, sinus congestion, upset tummies & menstrual cramps. You'll have minty fresh breathe too!

4. Double chocolate protein powder! My favourite protein shake to make consists of; a banana, almond butter, almond milk, flaxseed, and one scoop of protein powder. Put that all in the blender, add some ice to however thick you want it to be, and VOILA! the BEST treat in the world! Protein shakes are great to drink before or after the gym. Sometimes when i'm on the go I will drink of for breakfast. Especially when I have sore muscles from a workout. The powder repairs muscles fast! I use this protein:

5. My FAVOURITE snack in the world is apples and natural peanut butter. I like to use Gala apples because they have the best taste that goes with peanut butter! I use natural peanut butter because it is much healthier and keeps a lot more of the natural fats and proteins in it. Also has less sugar then something like Kraft peanut butter! It is a great power snack. Especially before a workout.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS FRIDAYS FAVOURITES :)

Run Down? PRE-WORKOUT

I AM SO TIRED! From working 3 jobs, going to school full time, AND making time for working out, by the end of it all I am just so tired! So today I went to whole foods before work and picked up some samples of pre-workout! My boyfriend takes it sometimes before going to boxing just to bring up his energy, so I thought i'd give it a go!

I bought the VEGA lemon lime sample packet, and also the Acai berry one! They were about 3 dollars each. I thought it was smart to try the sample packs before I buy a big jug!

I'll make a post of my opinion on it and let you guys know if I liked it or not!

P.S. I'd love for any feedback on supplements anybody is taking! Let me know! THANKS XOXO
