There will now be a little "Nutrition note" listed on most products in the grocery lists either letting you know that a product is "Amanda approved!" or if there are any ingredients listed to be mindful of. Overall, the items chosen on The Fit Foodie grocery lists are healthy and high in quality, but with any processed food it can be hard to 100% avoid additives, gums, fillers, etc.
Built Bars & Puffs:
These are SO yummy - the best tasting vegan protein bar I've found to date!
Orgain is one of my all-around favorite protein supplement companies because of their generally clean ingredients, great flavor, and versatility (you can shake or bake with their powders!). They also make great limited edition seasonal flavors (when vanilla chai comes out, run don't walk!). I also love them because they offer BOTH dairy-based whey and vegan plant-based protein options. All of their products are gluten-free and stevia sweetened.
A Costco favorite! A bit on the processed side but overall a great "treat" when you are craving a candy bar but want some protein - contains palm oil which is a better choice for processed vegetable oils but should still be moderated.
I love supplementing with collagen powder - it's a great way to get in quality protein (only missing one amino acid) that supports joints, ligaments, hair, skin & nails!
Here are a few of my top picks from one of my favorite protein supplement companies, Orgain. For your first order on www.orgain.com, use my promo code AMFITNESSCYCLE for 30% off.
Frog Fuel is a navy seal owned company that creates collagen-based protein supplements that are easy to digest and super portable.
Aloha Vegan Protein Drinks
Orgain Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix
These are surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) good .... 19g of protein, 140 calories! A fun, tasty way to get in protein.
Bowmar Nutrition has some of the best tasting protein powder flavors in my opinion!
