Do you trust your gut?! Sometimes it’s difficult to trust our guts, though 9 times outta 10 my gut is right. I’m working on learning to trust my gut more. Another thing I’m working on is feeding my gut well. I’m at an age (49) where I really need to start taking better care of me … ALL of me, mind, body & soul.
As we age, our bodies begin to change & we need to make sure we are doing all we can to help them adjust to those changes. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t eat enough “good” things to balance out all the “bad” (albeit yummy) dishes I eat. I know, I know… I REALLY need to do better in that area. It’s very difficult, living here in Northern California, with SO MANY excellent restaurants all around me, to not over indulge sometimes (ok, most of the times!)
I know what my weaknesses are: sweets & comfort foods, rich comfort foods. I’ve made the first step in taking better care of myself by scheduling quite a few medical check-ups, something I’d been putting off for far too long. I’m also starting to re-evaluate what I eat & how much, baby steps, right?!
When Fitfluential asked if I’d like to try an all-in-one, plant based protein superfood, made by Amazing Grass – I knew I owed it to myself to say yes. 
I figured this would be just the kick-start I needed to get back on the straight & narrow. I love to eat, I’m just being real. I struggle with eating a healthy diet, just like everyone else. This all-in-one protein nutrition shake combines a superfood blend of plant-based protein with farm fresh greens and nutrient-dense fruits and veggies. I KNOW I don’t get enough fruits & veggies in my diet, do you? This superfood combo is an easy way to get the whole food nutrition your body needs with an amazing flavor your taste buds will thank you for! Amazing Grass’ has plant-based proteins that are USDA Organic, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO and Vegan.
I know what you’re thinking: “But how does it taste?” I hear ya! Let me break it down for you. I poured the contents of the packet into a glass of fat-free milk (cuz y’all know I’m a #Milkaholic!), it looked very light (and I could smell the peanut butter), so I knew I probably wouldn’t be able to just stir it. I decided to pour all of it into my Nutribullet & blend it. As it was blending, it starting to turn a brownish/green color… thanks to all the greens. I turned off the Nutribullet & took my first sip, and I have to say it’s good… really good! Not too sweet, just the right amount of sweetness, not grainy, went down easy. This is something I could drink everyday, no doubt about it.
Here’s a bit more nutritional info for all you guys that like to read the fine print: 20 grams of complete plant-based protein from pea, quinoa, chia and hemp Superfoods • 7 alkalizing greens organically grown and harvested on family farm in Kansas • 9 nutrient-dense fruits and veggies delivering 2 full servings • Promotes lean muscle, satisfies hunger, provides nourishing energy, and aids digestion • The best tasting plant-based protein powder with a unique Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor profile.
Amazing Grass sent me lots of samples to pass out to folks that want to try their Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Superfood for themselves. I’ll be handing out samples at our soccer games and a few other places. If you’re local & you know me, hit me up, I’d love for you to try it & get your opinion. There’s also a giveaway for everyone who tries it & fills out a survey afterwards. I’m excited about this product & my new journey towards feeling amazing every day!
