‘Morning you beautiful beautiful things! Guess where I am?!
It was so nice to wake up this morning to the sounds of birds chirping rather than fire alarms or my neighbors returning from their alcohol-induced adventures.
To be honest, though, I don’t think it’s set in that I’m home for the entire summer. While I miss my roommates like crazy already, I’m so excited for a few months filled with family, old friends, and of course - GINGIE.
gushhh.
I arrived home last night to some awesome swaggie:
Core Fusion DVDs for my May Challenge
About Time Protein Powder samples from the company!
Confession: I am a complete protein powder whore. It’s a great way to seamlessly add calories to your diet and nothing seems to fill me up like a protein-packed meal. Naturally, I was ecstatic when the company offered to send me a few tastes of their products.
According to the About Time site:
"One sip of About Time whey protein isolate, and you’ll know this is something special. No chalky aftertaste. No artificial sweeteners. Just a clean, natural protein supplement with a taste you’ll appreciate and a superiority your body will feel. Delicious enough to mix with just water, great in skim milk, a smoothie or added to your favorite yogurt.
All protein supplements are not equal. Unlike most other products, About Time is cold-pressed micro-filtered whey isolate which means the protein is absorbed more efficiently into your system. Most other protein supplements offer misleading labels and health claims, but About Time keeps it simple and 100% natural. Just look at the label – only 4 ingredients! For those managing diabetes, be assured that About Time is sweetened with Stevia, a naturally occurring no-calorie sweetener that does not affect blood glucose levels. A 2-pound container of About Time 100% Whey Protein Isolate contains 32 servings. No artificial flavoring. No artificial sweeteners. Each serving contains 101 calories, 24 grams of protein and 0 fat."

Someone do me a favor and tell me how you can beat those stats. Seriously…
The powders are also available in 7 awesome flavors:
- Chocolate
- Birthday Cake
- Cinnamon Swirl
- Peaches and Cream
- Mocha Mint
- Vanilla
I’ve never come across an all natural company that has such a wide variety of flavors, so I was very pleasantly surprised with my options.
Naturally, I wasted no time giving them a whirl.
I opted for the Strawberry variety (mixed with 2 Tbsp of chia seeds for a “frosting” of sorts and topped with PB)
Texture-wise it was awesome! Definitely not grainy as I find most whey powders to be and mixed really easily. As far as the taste, it was okay. In the companies defense, my tastebuds never seem to favor berry-flavored powders. I just can’t wait to try the birthday cake. Le swooooon!
About Time also sells Fill Shake n’ Go bottles which I think is absolutely brilliant
Meal replacement bars…
and single serve packs.
In fact, if you’re interested in trying the About Time products for yourself they have an awesome deal going on. You can buy 2 single serve packets for $2.99 and they’ll take care of the shipping payment. Click here for the details on that!
*What is your ideal flavor of protein powder?** I’ve always wanted to try a peanut butter flavor but have never found one. I suppose peanut flour is close enough though, right?

Off to try out my first Core Fusion DVD. Let’s see whatcha got, Fred.
Have the loveliest of days, my friends!
