Gotein


Gotein: reviewed by Tea Time

Today I am reviewing Gotein - which is a play on words for "protein on the go". So I came across this stuff because one of my running coaches works for Gotein. He gave some samples out and even made some for us after practice one day. I have to start by saying that I have a love/hate relationship with protein powder. I love how they are a convenient snack and great for recovery after working out but I hate the way that most of them taste. You know what I am talking about...that weird chalky after-taste. With most protein powder, I just use my blender and add fruit and such to cover up the chalky protein taste. This is not very convenient when I am not near my blender obviously. Now I am not paid to say this but Gotein is just great stuff. It seriously taste just like chocolate milk when I shake it up in my shaker cup with just water. It is yummy enough for me to have as a snack. I also love that it comes in it's own single served pack that you can empty into your water bottle or shaker cup...whatever you drink your water out of. It mixes really well. I think the other thing I hate about some protein powder is that no matter how much you shake it or stir it that it is still clumpy...it is nasty to drink powder clumps. So I love this stuff. Currently this comes in only 3 flavors: chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. I love the chocolate one if you can't already tell. I've seen Gotein being sold at various supplement and health stores but if you don't see it in your store, I have a discount code if you are interested in ordering this online.

    Thanks for swinging by my blog, and I love the name of yours. Hee. I've heard about that Gotein, and it's good to know it's pretty good. I may have to hunt it down.

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
