This post is #sponsored by Optimum Nutrition however all opinions, comments and enthusiasm remain my own.
So, a few weeks ago, I was invited to head out to Chicago to visit the Optimum Nutrition headquarters. I was pretty excited about this because 1) I’m a fan of their products for all phases of my workout and running nutrition (including my own recipe creation) and 2) my inner food nerd can’t resist an invitation to get a behind the scenes look at how the research, development, manufacturing and marketing stages are executed for various brands.
Read on to see what I thought about the whole trip, learn about some of their new products, and also get an easy-peasy Margarita Protein Mug Cake recipe that I created in honor of the trip (and the following Mexico trip I barely got home in time to make!): Continue reading
It may seem strange to wake up to a green salad and glass of water when we live in a coffee and donut world.

Every clean eater needs a quick quality protein source on those days when life’s craziness is out of control. For me, it’s hard boiled eggs to the rescue. Each egg offers 6g muscle-making, hanger-squashing protein and only take about 12 minutes to cook to perfection – and if I meal prep eggs earlier in the week, it’s just a lickity-split matter of grabbing a couple out of the fridge. 
Sometimes, if my meal intentions have changed over the course of the week (impromptu lunch invitations, traveling, post-Easter surplus, or just preference), I may have a few extra leftover hard-boiled eggs waiting to fulfill their destiny. Check out these Creative Recipes Using Leftover Hard Boiled Eggs: Continue reading
Making a healthy snack or healthy snack doesn’t have to be hard and my Turmeric Cucumber-Egg Bites are tasty proof of that! If you can boil an egg, you’ve got this! And, if you don’t have this essential life skill, I’ve seen pre-cooked, pre-peeled hard-boiled eggs at the market. Okay, I won’t like — I used pre-cooked, pre-peeled hard-boiled eggs for convenience (and to give my arthritis-y hands some relief from the chore). 
Read on to get the 5 minute appetizer recipe, which is also a great keto snack, with only 25 calories and less than 1g carbohydrate per piece (and almost 2g protein). Continue reading
