Blueberry Oat Chips Review!

These taste gooooodddd. Like real good. 

The texture is actually strange, it is like a mini rice cake but with little oat flakes covering the outside. There are I think 5 (?) flavors. 

It was dark in my room when I took this, so you can't really see the actual texture. There are 3 servings in this bag and each serving is I think 110 calories and 22 carbs and 1.5 fat. I ate the whole bag. So there's that. They are pretty tiny and I was hungry so I just though, hey CARBS. 😂 I think I would like these better if I had gotten a zestier flavor and not a sweet one but the store I went to only had this and the caramel corn one. 

I give this a 6.5 out of 10.

MiO energy Review!

So recently I've been looking for ways to spice up my water since I drink so dang much (1.5 gallons a day) and I also have been SO tired lately so I decided to try Mio energy! It's originally $3.50ish per bottle but I got both of these flavors on sale for $2.89 at a local grocery store. I'm not sure if there are other flavors but the two I go are called Wicked Blue Citrus and Strawberry Pineapple Spark (makes me think of advocare haha)

They both taste sooooo gooood! There is 1.62 oz. in each bottle or 18 servings per 8 oz. of water! There is also 60 mg of caffeine per squeeze (1/2 tsp). The blue one tastes like a blue-raspberry slushie aka my FAV flavor 😍 and the orange one tastes like pineapple juice so it's sooo good! 

The only thing about these if that you need to be careful about the caffeine because you could easily overdose on caffeine because you can't even tell its in there! Just make sure to not put too terribly much into each squeeze. There are 0 everything in this (calorie,fat,carbs) so that's nice as well. I feel like if your trying to lose weight this would be helpful because the ingredients in it are metabolism boosters. 

As for energy goes, caffeine usually gives me the jitters and this kinda does that too but not to terribly bad. Here are the ingredient list: 

I give this a 9 out of 10!

Healthy Chocolate "Ice Cream"

Who doesn't love chocolate ice cream? Aliens? Who am I kidding, they probably do too. This recipe is literally 150 calories and practically fat free. Did I mention it tastes exactly like a Wendy's frosty? Because yes. BUT it doesn't contain all the nasty preservatives and oils in it. Straight up goodness. Here's what you needs : 

1 frozen banana (essential that it's frozen)

A few ice cubes (I used like 4)

 1-3 tbsp of Cocoa powder (or any chocolate sweetener) (amount depends on how chocolatey you want it)

Here's the one I used: 

And a splash of water. 

Directions: simply put everything in a blender and mix until the banana chunks are broken up with the ice. Here's the final product: 

Here's a tip I've found that makes it taste super good and even more like ice cream: use realllly ripe frozen bananas. 

Hope you enjoy and remember, 

Happy living, Macy. 💜

 

The protein bar gods have spoken

Yes. Yes. Yes. LUNA BAR PROTEIN BAR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH. YES. 

This is the hands down, best protein bar I've ever tasted. Even better than Quest. (I'll do a post later on those) but seriously this was SO good. I only bought an individual one (98cents ftw) and I'm definitely gonna have to go back and buy a whole box. (6$?) It literally tasted like I was eating a block of cookie dough covered in chocolate and it was the most heavenly thing. Do yourself a favor and go buy these. Now. 

Definitely a 10 out of 10.

Mamma Chia Drink Review

DAnother one of my finds from yesterday's shopping trip. It was in the produce section of Walmart and was like 3 dollars for a bottle. 

In the bottled, there is 120 calories, like 4 grams of protein, and 2.5 (?) fat. Overall I'd say the macros are pretty good. There are a lot of omega 3's in this from the chia seeds which is very convenient as well. When I first took a drink, it was SO weird. It was  like drinking blueberry slime with seeds in it. That's not a bad thing either, it just freaked me out for a second. Here's a close up on the bottle; 

It's literally chia seeds soaked in water with added flavors. This whole companies gluten free and vegan which is pretty nice for those of you that are. (I'm Pescatarian). It took me a while to finish this bottle because it literally filled me up. It honestly felt like I was eating breakfast. 😂 There were like 5 other flavors, some of which were very weird. (There was a lemon lime flavor) I'm a big texture person when it comes to food and this was just sooo weird to me. I would honestly try the other flavors just to see what the texture combined with the weird flavor was like. Overall I give this an 8 out of 10.

Live your life happily

As I sit here writing this post, I know there are millions of girls (and boys) out there that are feeling insecure about themselves. I just wanna say, you ARE worth it. I know what it feels like to be told you aren't good enough, pretty enough, smart enough. You know who's opinion matters the most? Yours of yourself.

Think about it, In twenty years are you really going to be still crying over the bad grade you got on a test? Bad Track Meet? They boy you like didn't like you back? The answer is most likely not.

GO OUT THERE and live your life to your fullest.

The only person stopping you is you.

You know they saying, "MIND OVER MATTER"? Completely accurate. If you tell yourself that you're a failure, how are you ever going to believe you're going to succeed?

Success is made with many failures.

Life Choice Protein Bar Review

Today as I'm roaming through Walmart, as always, I find myself in the protein bars and health food. (Duh) I was looking and they had this brand (Life Choice) and I had never seen it before so I decided to give it a go. I think it was like $4.00 for a box of 5, which is a decent price I suppose. This is what the package initially looks like before you open it.

( not sure why its upside down)

There were two different flavors. There was this one (double chocolate) and then an extreme peanut butter one. I'm trying to lay off peanut butter things because for me, PB tends to make me want to eat a gallon of ice cream and oreos (JK) but really, PB for me just is a no no. First impression: It looks like a candy bar when you open it, which makes me imagine that is. (if only) Heres what it looks like after I took the first bite.

It wasn't crunchy at all and had a smooth taste to it. The one thing I will say is that these do taste like protein bars. In my book, that's not a bad thing but if somebody else doesn't like the taste of protein powder, they probably wouldn't like these too much. I like that can taste chocolate but it also tastes healthy too which I like. Overall, I give it a 7 outta 10.
