Healthy foods I like.
- Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt - Great-tasting yogurt with no high-fructose corn syrup. After eating this I can't go back to regular yogurt. My favorite flavor is blueberry.
- Cedar Summit Farm Milk - Organic, unhomogenized, and made from grass fed cows. Farm is located just south of the Twin Cities.
- Thousand Hills Catle Company - 100% grass fed beef. Farm is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities.
- Pacific Organic Almond Milk - I make smoothies with this. Quick recipe: 8oz almond milk, 2oz each of frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, 2oz orange juice. Add 2tbsp flax seed for extra fiber, a scoop whey powder (vanilla or berry) for extra protein. Blend thoroughly in a blender (no ice needed.) I drink one of these almost every morning as a pre-workout meal. Very good for you and it really tastes great!
- Jay Robb Whey Protein - High quality whey protein isolate, made from grass fed cows not treated with hormones. I mix the chocolate flavor with milk for a post-workout shake.
