LifeWay Probiotic Elixir - If you haven't tried LifeWay Kefir yet, what are you waiting for? I seriously love the stuff and its high in protein, probiotics, has live active cultures that support healthy digestion. I'm not here to talk about the kefir though! LifeWay has released a new probiotic goodie! They call it elixir - perhaps because they're so good you'll think it's magical? They come in four flavors: tangerine, ginger, hibiscus, and elderberry. If you're looking for a probiotic beverage but kombucha just isn't doing it for you, try this out! Read more about it here: lifewaykefir.com.

Wild Friends Almond Cashew Super Butter - Super Butter to the rescue! I'm definitely a lover of many nut butters, but recently opened a new-to-me jar of Wild Friends Almond Cashew Super Butter which is chock full of honey, chia, and flax for an added dose of omega-3's, protein, and fiber with an ultra creamy texture you're going to love! Check it out here along with the "Save the Bee" mission this nut butter supports: WildFriendsFoods.com.

I used Wild Friends Super Butter to top my Square Bar!

SomniFix - This is a mouth-tape to encourage nasal breathing while you sleep. I never imagined such a thing! By properly breathing through the nose instead of the mouth, it helps you get deep, quality sleep, along with eliminating snoring and eliminating exposure to airborne particles (and spiders?! lol). I haven't tried it yet, but I have a pack and plan on trying it soon! Read more about the science and the benefits here: SomniFix.com.

Which of these things sounds most fun to you? Did you make any discoveries this week?

How's that Working Out for You?

Do you even lift, bro? Seems like it's been a minute since I talked about anything fitness related! Here's what's been going on! Running My running continues as normal - I like to keep myself conditioned for 5k races throughout the year so my regular running routine is 3-4 miles, 3 times a week. I've considered trying out a half marathon with my mom, but we haven't committed to the idea of training for one lol! Let me know if you think we should do it! Lifting I actually took the plunge and purchased a lifting program from Mind Pump Media. I purchased their Anabolic program which is designed to increase overall strength. I completed Phase 1, one time through. This was vastly different from my former routine. This Phase implemented low reps and long rest periods. I felt like I wasn't doing anything but apparently I was because I got sore (not an good indicator of a good workout, by the way). I'm now in Phase 2 which is more muscle hypertrophy. I thi...

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!
