If you’re anything like me, you felt a little less than 100% when you woke up this morning. Well, I have the perfect fix- And it comes from Square Organics.
Because the holiday hangovers happen to most people, even those of us that don’t partake in festive cocktails.
In my morning spin class, I found myself STRUGGLING through songs that I normally find challenging, but they usually don’t make me feel like I’m going to toss my cookies.
The problem? Well, to be honest, cookies.
I had more than my fair share of over the Christmas weekend.
Do I regret it? Nope not all.
I enjoyed every last snickerdoodle, truffle, and Butterfinger Holiday Jingle Bell candy that I got my sugar-laced hands on.
But… I also realized that there is more to eating healthy than just fitting into my favorite pair of jeans.
Eating a steady stream of sugar means my energy level stayed simmering at zero. Not good for works out, being productive at work, or really much of anything.
So well this weekend was fun, I woke up today dragging.
And we’re in that weird week between Christmas and New Years, which means realistically I’m about to fill my plate again with treats in just a few days.
So I could keep the bleeding going, or I could get my eating back on track for a few days so I don’t feel like I’m crawling into 2017.
My choice- Regroup today through Friday afternoon and then let the holiday weekend be a bit of party.
With that in mind, one of the little tricks I’ll be leaning on over the next few days is my favorite protein bar SquareBar by Square Organics.
If you haven’t tried Square Organics protein bars the are little nutritional gems. I highly recommend them. I always have one on-hand in my bag.
They are seriously delicious, but also incredibly good for you.
Each favor contains nutrient-dense organic and non-GMO ingredients. The bars are only a little over 200 calories, but they really do fill you up.
Sometimes I have them as a snack or before a long distance run, but this week I’ll pair a Square Organic bar with a small kale salad for my lunches.
They have so many great flavors, but my favorites are the Nuts & Sea Salt, Peanut Butter, and Almond Spice. Lucky for me, the just came out with a combo pack with these exact bars!
Here’s a Square Organics Review of their nutritional value:
USDA Organic & Non-GMO Project Verified
10-13g of Complete Plant Protein (Sprouted & Whole Grain)
Gluten-Free Certified, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free
Made with Coconut Nectar (same glycemic index as an apple)
No Protein Isolates, Sugar Alcohols, or Added “Natural Flavors”
Vegan
Pretty hard to beat, right?
A box of 12 (4 of each flavor) will run you $29.99.
Added bonus: Each time I’ve ordered so far, I’ve received a 20% off coupon for my next Square Organics order. I’ve hooked already, but why not enjoy 20% while I’m at it??
Staying on the healthy beat, tonight I’m testing out a new turkey meatball recipe. If it’s hit, I’ll post it tomorrow. If it’s a miss, I’ll spare you the details.
Cheers to a short work week for many of us (if you’re working at all!!) and great last couple of days of 2016!
