After having seen friends online talk about these bars, when I saw a couple of them at Whole Foods I just HAD to try them. More reviews coming as I eat them, but I am very happy to report this first bar, the Turkey Almond Cranberry bar from Epic was delicious! Gluten free, milk free, and soy free, its kind of like a softer, very easy to eat jerky. The meat is ground and … [Read more...] about Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar

Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
It's a wonderful thing to find a protein snack that isn't somehow chocolate covered or some freaky sweet flavor... Really pleased with the bars I've found from Epic, and the fact that this is made from actual factual grass fed beef. And while it made me a little thirsty (a little bit salty), I really enjoyed the complex flavor - smokey, tangy (from the cherries which are NOT … [Read more...] about Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
Under Armour’s Armour39 Performance Heart Rate Monitor
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Under Armour. Must confess, before using Under Armour's Armour39 I have had a somewhat negative attitude towards the usefulness/relevancy of heart rate monitors in my own training. Part of this was due to past experience with bulky plastic HRM straps collecting sweat across my ribs and only providing very … [Read more...] about Under Armour’s Armour39 Performance Heart Rate Monitor
Beyond Organic Fine Italian Chocolate with Probiotics and Omega 3s
Beyond Organic chocolate bars - glad I got a photo of 2 of them together - they disappear so quickly that this is a somewhat rare photo. They come in small boxes of 12, which might sound like a lot to you - this is an illusion. Each bar is 1.2oz or 35g which is both a blessing and a curse - on one hand, if you are a very good friend, you can snap one in half and there's a … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Fine Italian Chocolate with Probiotics and Omega 3s
Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip with Cacao Nibs
Confession: I didn't think I'd like the Mint Chocolate Chip bars (scroll to find them) at all. The only reason I ordered them was because of a special offer where a box was included. Having never been a fan of "mint chocolate chip" anything, EVER, I figured I could trade some with one of my clients who also orders Dale's Bars, or just power through them. Wow did THAT … [Read more...] about Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip with Cacao Nibs
Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds
This particular flavor is special for a few different reasons, the first of which is it happens to be the surprise favorite of myself and several friends. You'd think we'd pick a chocolate flavor as a favorite, but... the Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds bar (scroll to find it) is hands down the dark horse winner. It's also pretty astounding in terms of nutritional … [Read more...] about Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds
Brutally Honest Beyond Organic Food Product Tasting Notes
OK! Seeing as my Beyond Organic Founder's Pack arrived JUST IN TIME for Thanksgiving - which negated my plans I had had for a "come and try this stuff out" BBQ (which will still happen, but I may need to re-order before then). Let's get started! The Chocolate As you may have seen in the unpacking video, the bars are on the small side (35g) which is actually a … [Read more...] about Brutally Honest Beyond Organic Food Product Tasting Notes
Product Review: Beyond Organic Chee-Z Crackers Tomato Basil, Mediterranean, Raw Cheddar
I had to try all three flavors of course - and they're all great! Depending on what you like in a snack you may decide to choose one over the others... or try all three too. Once again, like any of the Beyond Organic products the specs and pedigree of these crunchy little treats is just off the charts - all three varieties start with a proprietary Enzymatically Activated … [Read more...] about Product Review: Beyond Organic Chee-Z Crackers Tomato Basil, Mediterranean, Raw Cheddar

YMX by Yellowman Infinite Phoenix Tank Top
YMX by Yellowman sent me one of their tank tops for review - I liked the feel and fit of it so much that I immediately ordered another one! Below is a video where you can see more of it - and where I reenact the one good scene in 2008's "Death Race" YMX sent me the Infinite Phoenix Tank to review and try out - and I am seriously impressed with it. It's so light weight … [Read more...] about YMX by Yellowman Infinite Phoenix Tank Top
