A client of mine told me I was a "Foody" and it totally stuck with me. What can I say? I LOVE food - healthy, yummy food! So with that being said, I love to grocery shop and see what I can find that is healthy and of course, yummy! At this point in competition prep, carbs are starting to dwindle away, so I am constantly looking for the lowest carb option of every food. I was at Walmart the other day and ran across a couple things I'm too excited about to not share. :)
*Calorie Countdown Milk by Hood - I found chocolate milk with only 5g of carbs and 3g of sugar per cup!!! Unbelievable! They have regular skim milk and 1%, 2%, etc, but I only found the chocolate. It is really good milk too. I was kind of weary. Love it!! I added 1/2c to my protein shake today...BSN Lean Dessert Chocolate Fudge protein + 1/2c Hood Chocolate Milk + 5 ice cubes = CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE! Yes! :)
*Silk PureCoconut Milk - this stuff is really yummy too! By the same people that make the soy and almond milks. I usually use unsweetened almond milk in my smoothies/protein shakes, but will start using this now too. It is higher in fat (5g per cup) but coconut is a healthy fat, so not a problem!
*Carb free creamer!! I've been on a mission to find carb free coffee creamer for awhile now and finally ran across one. Land O Lakes Mini Moo's Half and Half creamer. They are the little cups in the coffee aisle that don't need to be refridgerated - like you see at the gas stations. They do have 1g of fat per cup, but I can deal with that in place of the carbs! :) Yay!
*Joseph's Lavash Flat Bread. These are really big flat bread wraps. They are high fiber, low fat and low carb. A serving is 1/2 of a wrap - which is still pretty big - and only has 7g of carbs. So even if you eat a whole one, you're not going to go into carb overload. Sweet! I've been having these often!
I will add things as I find them. Eating healthy is easy, and can also be fun...and tastey! :)
