Snack time: Mamma Chia Clean Energy Giveaway

It’s the new year so I’ve been trying out new ideas for a snack.  It’s hard for me because I am a creature of habit and I really like what I like.

I received this Mamma Chia Clean Energy drink a while back.  I wanted to talk about them earlier but I needed to make sure it was something I would approve.  I don’t want to lead you guys in the wrong direction.

Trying out a new #snack today. @mammachia squeeze is pretty good. I don't hate it. #healthyeats #eatclean #tiuteam #fitfluential #fitbloggin

I’m already a big fan of the chia squeeze.

Today’s mid-morning snack was a Mamma Chia Clean Energy Cherry Charge and it’s good.  I must admit, the texture is a little weird for me.  It took me a little while to get use to it.  It’s due to the plumping of the chia seeds, but other than that, this stuff is good! Most importantly, the drink held me over until it was time to eat lunch.  That is always something I worry about, but this snack really was a great snack.  The cherry charge has to be my favorite flavor!

Here’s a little bit more info about the Mamma Chia Clean Energy drink.   It is the FIRST beverage that combines the power of chia with the clean energy of guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) resulting in a truly healthful, fulfilling and delicious energy beverage that nourishes your entire body and soul. Made with refreshing organic fruit juices and lightly sweetened with only 14 grams of organic cane sugar, one bottle of MammaChia Clean Energy (10 oz.) delivers:

  • More than an entire day’s worth of Omega-3s (2500 mg)
  • 25 percent of one’s daily fiber (6 grams)
  • 4 grams of complete protein
  • 90 mg of natural caffeine (about as much in an 8 oz. cup of coffee)
  • Twice the antioxidants of a cup of green tea
  • Calcium, powerful antioxidants and valuable minerals
  • 120 calories

Chia seeds are a superfood!  That’s always a plus.  Clean Energy Drinks are Non-GMO Verified, gluten-free, vegan, Kosher and USDA Certified Organic.

Retailing for $2.99, the Clean Energy organic beverages are available in four flavors and will be available at select retailers, including Whole Foods, Safeway and Target.

Because I like the clean energy drinks so much, I am hosting a giveaway for some cool stuff.  This is what you’ll get if you win:

  • One week supply of Clean Energy beverages
  • One week supply of Chia Squeezes
  • Mamma Chia Camelbak water bottle

A training shoe: Asics GEL-Fit Sana

This post is sponsored by FitFluential on behalf of ASICS. Do you know the different between shoes? I see many people wearing the wrong shoes for different activities.

My week with the Mizuno Wave Rider 18

My week with the Mizuno Wave Rider 18

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Mizuno for the Wave Ride 18. All opinions expressed here are my own! With the amount of running I do, I go through a lot of shoes, but I’ve never tried Mizuno’s before.  When it comes to trying new shoes, it’s kind of hard for me to take the plunge.  This time I am glad that I did.  The Mizuno Wave Rider 18 is a neutral shoe but it packs some good mid-foot support, which is very important to me. The shoes I received were Black/Silver/Florida Keys!  That’s always…

Six:02 and The Reebok Skyscape Runaround

Six:02 and The Reebok Skyscape Runaround

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Reebok. This past weekend I visited my local Six:02 store at Memorial City Mall to buy some Reebok Skyscapes. I must start this off by telling you I knew nothing about Six:02 and I’m not a real big fan of Reebok. Spoiler alert: things have changed on that front. My first impression of the store: this store is for women! I loved the modern feel of the store. Everything had a place and it was very organized. The store sells different brands from Asics to Reebok so there is…

Recovery from the weekend with Pro Compression

Recovery from the weekend with Pro Compression

It was a big weekend because I did my 20 miler on Saturday.  Yesterday was a rest day.  Rest days are important to give your body a recharge.  It may sound funny coming from me because most people don’t think I take a rest, but I know when my body needs a rest.  Always remember to listen to your body. Recovery has been a big deal to me lately and I’ve taken the time to really educate myself on it.  I was doing it wrong for so long.  It’s hard to think about putting the calories back in your body…

The 62 mile bike ride: Year 2

The 62 mile bike ride: Year 2

This was my second year doing the Katy Flatland Century, BUT this was Willie’s first “big boy” bike ride ever. I’ve really wanted him to ride with me but road bikes are expensive. He was kind enough to let me get my bike first. He really wanted to make sure he would love the experience before he dropped that much money on a bike. So we borrowed a bike from our good friends for the occasion. Luckily, Rodale sent me some books on cycling for beginners which we both looked through. Yes, I got my bike last year but I’m…

Embrace the Space: My Altra running shoes

Embrace the Space: My Altra running shoes

I didn’t post yesterday because I guess I was too busy working out.  LOL!  It’s launch week at the gym so it’s always a busy week and I like to try all the new classes too.  Yesterday I taught cycle twice and then I needed to go for a run. It was my first run since the 50K and I felt good. It got me thinking, “maybe it’s the shoes?” I think I should have worn my new shoes to the race on Saturday night. I really think it would have made a difference. A couple of weeks ago I…

My veggetti experience

My veggetti experience

Last week Jes and I purchased the veggetti.  I’d seen the veggetti before but I never remembered to pick it up when I was out.  We saw a commercial for it while we were eating dinner and immediately we went out to purchase one. It was a very exciting moment. I couldn’t wait to try it. So last night I tried it. The veggetti works very easily. Watch your fingers though at some points, but it’s nothing serious. I used zucchini and summer squash. It was on sale this week! It was fast and it left the veggies looking funny.…
