Share Your Story Locket
I'm in love with this necklace and everything it represents.  During my last bikini competition I remember feeling mentally and physically exhausted the day of, not having placed and having "nothing to show" for all of my hard work.  Yes, that though, at some point, entered my mind.  Then I knocked it out as quick as a set of burpees! Focus on the progress, not just the end product.  Competitions, triathlons, marathons, performances...they are OPPORTUNITIES for us to REVEAL our talents and strengths.  Opportunities to witness our accomplishments, evaluate the outcome and reassess with a new (or modified) goal in mind.  Click here for necklaces and more.

Shields of Strength
I discovered Shields of Strength through Instagram and was so intrigued by the products and the company's presence in various communities, particularly in the fitness industry. It is amazing to see women like Jamie Eason and Paige Hathaway not only represent their commitment to a healthy lifestyle, but to a spiritual one as well. This is a great opportunity to share faith in God and passion for fitness.  Explore the options from Shields of Strength here.

Quest Nutrition Bars

Purchase your Quest bars at Vitamin Shoppe; spend $25 and shipping is FREE!

These are BY FAR my favorite protein bar...I've been known to sneak them into ball parks, holiday parties, and there's always one in my glove compartment. My favorite has always been Cookie Dough, but that recently changed when I tried Cookies & Cream...it's like an OREO COOKIE.

Quest bars are a great source of whey isolate protein which has been shown to increase muscle mass, aid in the loss of body fat, enhance immune function and much more. They're gluten free and contain 17g of fiber too so they'll keep you full! Almost every ounce of carbohydrate in the bars comes from fiber, which will keep your insulin levels low and your stomach satisfied. Fiber has been shown to do many things such as controlling hunger, improving digestive health and preventing certain diseases.

Cookies & Cream Cake Crisp

I have been so excited to share this recipe! It's something I thought of before I even had my hands on the new Cookies & Cream Quest bar. It's fairly simple to make and high in protein. 

Ingredients
1 low carb tortilla 
1/4 c almond milk
1/4 c liquid egg white
1/4 c regular oatmeal
1/4 c nonfat Greek yogurt
1 t trivia 
1 t vanilla extract 

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Shape tortilla into small baking dish. Combine protein powder, oatmeal, egg white, almond milk and 1/2 of the crumbled Quest bar. Pour into tortilla. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Once cooled, top with combination of yogurt, vanilla, Splenda, remaining protein (stir in a bit of water) and remaining Quest bar. Serves 2!

Quest Bar Chocolate Mousse

Quest Bar Chocolate Mousse! This recipe includes 1 banana, 3 T coconut oil, 2 T honey, 1 t sea salt, and 4 T cocoa powder. It also includes 1/4 c black beans!  I added a sprinkle of cinnamon, known for its blood sugar stabilizing properties. Blend and refrigerate for an hour. And it's not truly a dessert until you've incorporated a Quest bar. Scoop out some mousse and top with half a Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar.
