Summer Fitness, Fun and Healthy Food Finds

Oh my, I can’t believe that May is coming to an end — my health and fitness life has been very surreal with this COVID19 situation and quarantining. While more and more of life’s things are making it back on the essential list, most of us are still practicing social distancing, doing as many things as we can (or want to) virtually, and taking life at a slower pace.

Stay Home: Best Healthy Frozen Food Delivery & Pantry Snacks  

This post contains affiliate links.

It’s getting harder and harder to leave the house and forage for food! Many of us, like myself, are mandated by law to “shelter in place” for the greater good, although we are still allowed to get out and shop (if we can even find food on the store shelves)! Others of us are in risk groups, have been exposed, or actually dealing with corona virus and can’t get out to find food at all.jennifer holding box porch food delivery

Sugarless, Sugar-Free and Low Sugar Treats for Healthy Christmas Stocking Stuffers

My family’s gifts for a fit Christmas are already wrapped up and under the tree, and I (errr, I mean Santa) have been busy rounding up healthy stocking stuffers.

So, instead, I’ve rounded up a bunch of Sugarless, Sugar-Free and Low Sugar Treats for Healthy Christmas Stocking Stuffers – check them out for your own family’s festivities.

Date & Protein Chocolate Cookies – For Workouts, For the Win!

This post sponsored my Bard Valley Natural Delight Dates. However, all content, opinions and enthusiasm are my own!

Growing up, Dad had a joke in our house that cookies eaten outside of normal dessert consumption hours were called “Breakfast Circles,” or “Energy Rounds.”  This soon became my line of defense when Mom caught me with my hand in the cookie jar. Thank goodness, my Date & Protein Chocolate Cookies need no explaining away! Date Chocolate Protein Cookies

These little rounds of goodness are loaded with quality and sustaining energy my family needs to smash through the day’s goals – both physically and mentally. My youngest teenager and I are the athletes of the family and my older two boys are the “math-letes” – bodies and brains BOTH need healthy carbs (backed by a bit of protein) to optimize performance. My cookies, made with absolutely no refined sugar (only Medjool dates and a few other smart ingredients), make the perfect snack to fuel running, workouts, sports practice, and racing to the head of the class! Read on to get the recipe and all the delicious, body-boosting benefits: Continue reading
