Am I Healthy?

I often wonder if the foods I choose to eat everyday are as healthy as I think they are.

Do you ever wonder that?

There are so many conflicting facts and studies out there that sometimes you have to wonder, “Am I Healthy?”

Lately, I have been visiting blogs that have been talking about NuVal.

NuVal is a nutritional company that rates foods on a 1 to 100 scale based on their “healthfulness.”

If you read Tina’s blog, you might have heard of NuVal.

I was lucky enough to get contacted by Melissa from A Better Bag of Groceries to rate some of my food.  Today she rated my Green Monster Shake so please head on over and check it out!  I wonder what it got rated as?!

Speaking of Green Monsters I have had a break from then lately, instead of I have been revisiting my dear beloved oatmeal.

It is tough to make oatmeal in the morning for me though because I am always in such a rush in the mornings.

  • Must blog
  • Walk Pepsi
  • Get ready for work
  • Walk to work

I thought I would share with you how I make my oats so I can take them nice and hot with me to work.

I put everything into the saucepan-steel cut oats, apples, bananas, pinch of salt, and cinnamon:

Set the stove top temp to about a 4 and head out to walk Pepsi.  By the time I get back they are cooked!

Then I put the oats in a Tupperware and add some raisins and I am good to go to eat my breakfast at my desk :)

How do you make your oats when you are in a rush?

Oh I just remembered it is April 1…….

Have a Happy April Fool’s Day!

Tonight I am meeting Khrystle for our hill workout. Can’t wait to see what she has under her sleeves for me :)

See you later gators!

New Food

What a busy and fun weekend.  I hope all of you had a chance to enjoy it as well :)

After the Birthday Shenanigans, Bill and I packed up the car with Pepsi in tow and headed to a mountain bike race.

But before we left I had the opportunity to  try out one of the new products I had won from Gelerah’s Tempt giveaway.

I made a green monster with LOTS of spinach, a banana, flax seed, whey protein, and Tempt Hemp Milk:

It was delicious!  I could tell the hemp milk made it creamier and richer tasting.

Very good-I would definitely buy it.

Can’t wait to try the Tempt hemp ice cream I also won :)

I had my shake with a 110 calorie bagel.  I love bagels but rarely eat them because they are so caloric however my mother in law (Mrs. Fit and Sixty herself!) loves these and now I am a convert.  They are so good and satisfying.

of course I topped the bagel off with almond butter!

So after the delicious shake we overnighted it at a Residence Inn and this morning Bill raced his mountain bike.

Here he is at the start line:

Here he is during the race coming through the “feed zone:”

Pepsi loves to watch too:

And here he is battling for 7th place.  He was not happy with his results (because he won last year) even though I think he did great :)

On our way home we stopped at Whole Foods and picked up a few more new food products:

Can’t wait to try these this week!

Have you ever gone to or participated in a Mountain Bike Race?

Have you tried any of my new food products?
