We are NuttZo fans for all the goodness it offers and all the options of NuttZo flavors you can choose from. Making sure we are fueled by real food that we have control over, though, is what we love the most…and the versatility. While we eat it plain, on scones, in smoothies, and I’ve even created muffins and protein truffle balls with it, I decided…

Every Sunday, I prep for the week ahead and yogurt cups are one of the top items on my list. Now, I am in no way a health care professional, a nutritionist, or any other type of specialist.

Most of us married to triathletes have an active role in what nourishment they put into their bodies. I, probably, am more active those most as cooking is one of my true loves. I spend a lot of time experimenting in the kitchen, talking to experts, and reading. So, when it comes to fueling David for his training and races, I feel it’s imperative that…

When it comes to feeding my triathlete, I’m always trying to come up with meals and snacks that meet all of his needs and mine, too. They have to be tasty, nutritious, relatively easy to make, and made with as much real food as possible. We both happen to love Nuttzo, which is a medley of 7 nuts and seeds, organic of course. So,…
