As I work towards my health and fitness goals, I find that I am much more successful when I’m filling my body nutritious foods and not letting myself get to the point of feeling ‘hangry’. My husband appreciates the last part very much since I’m kind of a bear when I’m hungry, but so is he—so we’re even.
Getting in enough protein every day can make all of the difference. I’m a carb lover and I tend to skimp on the protein if I’m not intentionally planning my meals to include enough of it.
On days when I wake up feeling extra hungry, I’ll whip up some protein pancakes for a delightfully tasty and filling breakfast that packs a protein punch. You can find a million protein pancake recipes that list protein powder as an ingredient and they all look yummy! I pair my pancakes with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas.
I like classic pancakes with maple syrup (I use sugar free to save on calories), and I like to use vanilla protein powder in my protein pancakes.
I found vanilla EAS Complete Protein Powder at my local Walmart in the nutrition section near the pharmacy. The EAS Complete Protein Ready to Drink product was nearby.
With 25g of protein per serving, I knew that it would keep me satisfied so that I can become the best me yet by helping me meet my health and fitness goals. There was no sticking my fingers into the powder to find the scoop because it’s conveniently located in a slot on the lid.
Sometimes after a tough workout (or just for a filling snack), I enjoy a smoothie with EAS Complete Protein Powder. I like that it not only benefits my muscles but also has calcium to make my bones stronger and fiber to help keep my digestive system running smoothly.
I often add fruit (like pineapple) for a unique flavor and enjoy a drink that’s full of nutrients.
Hubby has been working towards better weight management and towards his fitness goals lately. His work schedule requires him to wake up at 4:30 a.m. and then he has a long, and often strenuous, work day in front of him. He often starts his day off with EAS Complete Protein Ready to Drink in the Chocolate Fudge flavor. And, of course, they’re always a satisfying treat after a workout.
Yesterday was Baby Girl’s 15 month checkup. Since she was napping up until the time we had to leave, I didn’t have a chance to eat lunch. Knowing that it was going to be a long and drawn out appointment (which it was, as usual…) I grabbed a container of EAS Complete Protein Ready to Drink and enjoyed it while driving to the clinic. It’s a convenient way for me to stick to my nutritional goals and increase my energy level.
Hubby and I are working together to reach our health and fitness goals for the sake of our little girl. Hopefully, we will be teaching her healthy habits and leading by example. It’s our goal to lead a healthy and active lifestyle as a family. We have some work to do to reach that goal, but I’m certain we will get there—one step at a time.

I've been looking for a good protein powder. I'll have to try this one! Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteI ride my bike and walk the dog daily. As far as food, snacks are my downfall. I need to plan ahead so I am not stuck with the shakes because I didn't eat. I'll have to try that ready to drink protein drink. It sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI used to make protein shakes/smoothies all the time, especially for breakfast on the go. I'll have to give EAS a try next time I'm at the store!
ReplyDeleteI eat a high fat diet so I'm rarely hungry, but when I AM, I eat cheese and pepperoni. This looks SO yummy, though! #client
