Blogmas Day 17: Favorite Protein Snacks

Before sharing my favorite Protein snacks I want to say, I personally don’t eat such things that often simply because I feel like I have a harder time sticking to eating clean if I eat them to often.  Also it quickly adds up ($) and calories, I mostly use protein bars or cookies if I’m in a hurry and can’t get my oatmeal in that day or sometimes if I’m simply craving something sweet.

I have tried a few protein bars and so far my absolute alltime favorite is “Syntha-6 Protein Crisp” by BSN, they’re absolutely amazing very similar to a rice crispy treat. I don’t have any at this moment so I can’t share any pictures of how they look. There’s quite a variety of different tastes, so far I have tried the following (+my personal rating):

  • Chocolate Crunch (8/10)
  • Peanut Butter Crunch (5/10)
  • Salted Toffe Pretzel (9/10)
  • Vanilla Marshmallow (10/10)

*For reference the Nutrition Facts for one Bar: 230 Calories – 6g Fat – 20g Protein – 23g Carbs

Then I’ve also tried Lenny & Larry’s “The Complete Cookie” so far I’ve only tried Chocolate Chip (10/10) but I want to try some of the other tastes as well. The cookies are individually packed and quite big, I’d say the texture is comparable to a soft backed cookie as you might be able to see in the pictures below.

*Nutrition Facts for one complete Cookie: 400 Calories – 16g Fat – 16g Protein – 66g Carbs

*The cookies aren’t super high protein but they’re good to get some carbs in when in a hurry or to help with the sweet cravings, but as you see they’re pretty high in calories and carbs so I try to eat them very,very rarely.

Blogmas Day 14: Fitness Products I love

  • Resistance Bands so many different ways and exercises to implement them, very multifunctional.
  • Sweet Sweat (workout enhancer) makes you sweat a lot *I’ll probably write a more detailed review later on.
  • Protein Bars/Cookies an easy snack when you’re very busy or craving something sweet. Just have to watch your macros.
  • Fitness Gloves/Pads avoids slipping and avoids getting calluses (I like my hands to stay smooth and soft).
  • Fatburner not for weightloss purposes or anything like that. I like the thermogenic effect, as someone who is always cold and doesn’t break a sweat easily. Also the caffeine is a great effect, I feel more focused.
  • Fitness Tracker doesn’t have to be a fancy name brand one, I like to be able to track things like my heartrate, calories I burn approximately or how many steps I walk.
