Supplements

Supplements.... Supplements... Where to begin!

The fitness industry can be a very messy, intimidating and contain a lot of misleading information. Supplements are a huge money maker for companies because everyone is looking for that "magical pill" to make them fit into those high school jeans.
If you know me, I am a very naturalist person but I also do take supplements. I love to find very natural supplements and limit my caffeine intake.

**Disclosure- I am not paid to represent any of these products. They are all just products that I like and recommend to everyone in the fitness world.

My schedule:
Wake up at 4:30 AM- Take my pre-workout from WM Nutrition & L-Carnitine from Ideal Fit
During my workout- sip on Ideal Fit's BCAAs & WM nutrition Hydrenengery
After my workout- IdealFit Protein Powder
At breakfast- Glucosamine and daily multi-vitamin

Here are what they look like and links to where you can buy them:

Pre workout- WM Nutrition
I've never been big on taking caffeine, but when you are waking up at 4:30 every day... I need a little somethin' somethin' to get me through the day! The flavors are great as well! 

L-Carnitine- Ideal Fit
This is a supplement that I take right when I wake up on an empty stomach. This aids in supporting a healthy metabolism, aid in fat loss and is a non-stimulant. I notice that I sweat more when I take this product. So far I have seen great results since I have added this to my dietary intake. 

Hydrenergy- WM Nutrition
This is what I take when I am really training hard. I have always struggled with proper hydration. This products makes me feel amazing and keeps me hydrated with electrolytes. Love mixing this with my BCAAs. 

BCAAs & Protein Powder
These two are probably my most favorite and most used products. I love my BCAAs and protein powder. To me, protein powder has always tasted so chalky and is loaded with added sugars and extra calories. This has 20 grams of protein, 80 calories and no added sugars! It tastes amazing as well! My favorite flavor is the Chocolate Coconut. 
The BCAAs help me recover and I take them every day. These are the building blocks of protein. My favorite flavor is the Peach Lemonade or the Grape Explosion! 

Try these out and tell me what you think! What are your favorite supplements? 

Happy Running,
Kylie

4 IngredientProtein Granola Bars

I absolutely love these bars! I do not understand how people do not like peanut butter.  When you mix peanut butter and honey.... you have me. I love quick and easy recipes without a lot of ingredients. I mean, this only has FOUR ingredients! YASSS! Once I created this recipe, I make it almost every week. I love to eat these before or after my workouts. I wanted to share this SUPER easy protein granola bar recipe: Ingredients: 2 cups oats 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 serving of vanilla protein powder Directions: In a mixing bowl, combined oats and protein powder, set aside In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, bring the honey to a boil Let the honey boil for one minute Remove the honey from the heat and stir in the peanut butter Immediately pour the honey-peanut butter mixture over oat and protein mixture in mixing bowl as the mixture becomes sticky and difficult to work with so move quickly Pour mixture out on a pan or on a plate Flatten mixtu...
