You Bars

Coach Jessica recently posted about a site called YouBars where you can custom order your very own nutrition bars! You even get to name it- how cool is that?!

There are endless possibilities, and it looks like you can get a pretty Paleo-perfect bar as well. You can also custom order your own shake mix, cookies, trail mix, and cereal. Of course, I perused the cookie section- they have gluten -free, dairy -free options as well as lots of organic ingredients, cacao nibs, agave nectar, and more.

If you've tried this site, let me know and be sure to tell what kind of bar you concocted. Thanks, Jess!

Coach Crystal leading a small group nutrition presentation

When beginning a major shift in nutrition, we often look for things that are "normal" like what we are used to eating. Fake this and gluten-free that. The aisles at the grocery store are becoming full of gluten-free packaged foods. Over in the dairy section, there's Lactaid. If you have a dairy intolerance, why not just stop drinking milk?! Who knows what kind of chemicals and fillers are in Lactaid. If it's not milk, what is it? Anyhow...

This whole nutrition shift is a gradual process that takes time. Don't get frustrated if you take 2 steps forward, one step back. It's ok. We've all been there. The important thing is that you move ahead and know that you WILL feel better, you WILL look better, and you WILL perform better. Guaranteed.
