Zola Brazilian Super Fruit Juice in Acai and Bluberry

I found this a GNC on sale for $3.25 (down from $3.59). It was a total impulse purchase since everyone and their cats (even reportedly Oprah) is touting Acai as the "new" magic weight loss miracle. Don't buy this, for starers it isn't that good and it will surely make you dump (I didn't notice that it has 20 grms of sugar and 97 calories per serving till I got it home). There are one and a half 8oz serving per bottle. For having as much sugar as it does, it wasn't very sweet but thankfully I had read the sugar before I decided to try it so I knew to take it easy and drink it over the course of 2 days. It still made me sleepy and gave me a short spell of cramps. It was a total waste of money. Spare yourself.

Fit & Fresh healthy food combo pack

I found these at GNC and decided to give them a try. Working 12 hour night shifts, it is hard to resist the temptation not to hit the vending machine or order out with coworkers. Your nightly diet can only be beef jerky, house salads, and broth based soups for so long. I decided that I had to buy a better storage sytem if I was ever going to start packing my own salads and healthy shakes. What I love about these products are the built in ice packs, even the shaker has one! It also has a 2.1 oz bottom compartment that can store your protein powder till you are ready to add it to your milk or what ever liquid you are using (it holds 12 oz of fluid in the cup).
The salad shaker holds 4 cups and 4 tbsps of dressing in a seperate cup that sits in the lid (which also holds the ice pack and utensils or a protein bar). I hate ordering a house (or worse greek) salad only to have it delivered covered with meats and cheese. I wish I was strong enough to pull them off and eat only the veggies (usually lettuce, a few tomato slices, and some onion if you are lucky)but I would be lying if I said I did. I have actually been very sick from salads that I ordered out. Here in Alaska, Greek Salads come covered with peperoni, salami, and ham?!?! Having been to Greece and having had salads while I was there, I don't remember them being anything like that. Now with this container, I can make my own with slavaki meat or grilled chicken and control the portions. I also love the built in dressing container.
The last container, the lunch on the go ones have a main course compartment under the ice pack and two smaller containers that sit on top of it. They all fit together. I like the little ones for fruit, veggie slices, or Greek yogurt. I haven't put much in the large compartment except bars but it does keep them from getting crushed. It is a nice set up if you eat sandwiches or wraps as you can put your meat and veggies in the little compartments and the bread or wrap in the bottom and assemble it right before you eat it. I hate soggy wraps and this is an ideal solution. I paid $22.14 for it minus the GNC gold card discount. I think its well worth the money and I am going back for a second set.

Maramor Chocolates Dark Chocolate Squares with Omega 3

I have been wanting to try these for awhile and now that I can no longer locate my Coco Via Dark Chocolate covered Almonds, I decided to take the plunge. They are very good. They have 50 calories, 105 mg omega 3, approx 3 grms sugar, 4 grms fat each. The "serving size" is for 3 squares but I am only doing one a day. It is really good chocolate and easy packaged to take in your lunch for a treat that is healthy. I love dark chocolate for satisfying my chocolate cravings. It isn't as sweet as milk chocolate but it is healthier and more satisfiying. I found these at my favorite GNC in Anchorage ($14.99 minus 20% gold card discount) and am including the photo of the address so locals can go check it out. The store honors the gold card discount everyday. They also stock lots of low carb bars (think ISS Oh Yeah! wafer bars) and shakes. I think I will continue to buy these as a nice daily treat that keeps me from feeling chocolate deprived. Besides omega 3's help your heart, brain, and eyes.

Extreme Body 50 by American Body Building Products in chocolate peanut butter

The first thing I said, okay thought to myself as Lilith is napping, when tasting this shake was, "Oh wow!". Yes, it is that thick and creamy. Shock the heck outta me. I expected it to have a funny after taste with 50 grams of protein, it does not have one. It is 15 oz at 270 calories, 4grams of fat (1.5 grms saturated), 3 grams sugar, 10 grams carbohydrates, 3 grams fiber, 440mgs potassium, 220 mgs sodium, and 10mgs of cholesterol. It has 70% RDA of vitamin C, 100% RDA Calcium, 60% RDA of Vitamin D, 70% RDA of Folic Acid (I think this stuff beats out GNC's prenatal formula!), 100% RDA of Vitamin B12, and more. Yep, Wow! is right. Do you pay for this quality? depends, I found several at our favorite GNC (on Huffman in Ancorage) marked down from $3.99 each to $1.35 because it expires in August. Is it filling? You bet. I drank half of it and had to stop. I love this stuff. Husband is trying it today at work. I will have to get his input but I am sure he will give it a thumbs up also. If you live in Anchorage, check out the Huffman GNC for the marked down ones, they had a ton. Tell them I sent you.check out their other products here!
