1) If you are choosing cow’s milk, organic and low-fat/non-fat are your best choices.
2) If you are consuming something other than cow’s milk (i.e. almond milk, soymilk, coconut milk, etc.), you should be sure to supplement with additional protein

Favorite Thing about BLAST900: I LOVE seeing our clients challenge themselves physically and mentally. Not much beats the look of focus and determination on a client’s face as they work through the last few seconds of a sprint or 30% hill. It’s what that look represents that let’s me know that each and every one of our clients has what it takes to accomplish their health fitness goals.
If you suffer from late night snack cravings, just blame it on your circadian rhythms. Turns out there is a physiological reason for it: “Our study suggests that because of the internal circadian regulation of appetite, we have a natural tendency to skip breakfast in favor of larger meals in the evening. This pattern of food intake across the day is exactly what Sumo wrestlers do to gain weight.” Click the link for more, and remember to never skip breakfast!

Favorite thing about BLAST: The Intensity!!!
The summer is the perfect time to spend with friends and family. Whether it is for a pool party, a 4th of July celebration or just a simple backyard get-together, entertaining guests with food is an added bonus to that time well spent. What better way to do that than with some delicious AND nutritious chips and veggie dips. Pay special attention to the Greek Yogurt dips, as they can serve as an excellent source of protein for your snack. See the link below for these healthy dip recipes. Happy eating everyone!
