Review: Joyride candy

Review: @JoyrideSweets candy.

If you’re someone with a sweet tooth who is on a fitness journey, this is your solution. Joyride is a lower sugar, lower calorie, and higher fiber alternative to traditional candy.

I bought the direct competition to these alternatives and here’s how it breaks down:

➡️ Joyride Cherry Berry Ropes (32g): 80 calories 9g fiber 5g sugar
➡️ Jolly Rancher Ropes (38g): 140 calories 0g fiber 20g sugar

➡️ Joyride Sour Watermelons (29g): 50 calories 8g fiber 4g sugar
➡️ Sour Patch Watermelons (32g): 120 calories 0g fiber 25g sugar

Joyride is 90% of the taste of traditional candy and it would absolutely curb my sweet tooth. I highly recommend checking them out for your next sweet fix.

Low calorie, high protein flavored Greek yogurts at BJs

Here at @BJsWholesale looking at their low calorie, high-protein flavored Greek yogurts:

1️⃣ @Chobani Zero | 60 calories 12g protein
2️⃣ @Oikos Triple Zero | 90 calories 15g protein
3️⃣ @TooGoodAndCo | 80 calories 12g protein
4️⃣ @RatioFood Protein | 170 calories 25g protein

If you don’t want a flavored yogurt, I highly recommend going with Chobani nonfat Greek yogurt. This is a staple in my fridge for breakfast or a quick snack.

How to pick canned tuna

There are a ton of varieties of tuna on the market, and the macros on all of them are spectacular, especially if they’re canned with water as opposed to oil. Even though oil is a healthy fat, it’s highly caloric.

But the concern for most people is mercury. Some cans of tuna have more mercury than others. Albacore is significantly higher in mercury than light tuna. As a matter of fact, the recommendation is to have only one can of albacore tuna per week, whereas it is considered safe and sustainable to have three cans of light tuna per week.

Both of these cans of tuna are high in protein, low in calories, and packed with omega-3 fatty acids.

My favorite ways to make high protein Hamburger Helper

Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of @Goodles, and lately I’ve been obsessed with experimenting using the high-protein Hamburger Helper-style recipe I shared a few weeks back.

Since that video dropped, I’ve made it at least six times – and it just keeps getting better.

Ingredients:
🔘 1 box Goodles
🔘 1lb lean ground beef
🔘 1 cup nonfat cottage cheese

Instructions:
🔘 Prepare Goodles pasta noodles
🔘 Cook your beef
🔘 Blend nonfat cottage cheese, packet of cheese from box, and ¼ cup pasta water
🔘 Add half pasta, ¼ cooked beef, and half cheese sauce into your bowl and enjoy!

Favorite flavors to use:
🔘 Mover & Shaker
🔘 Twist My Parm
🔘 Cheddy Mac

Go-to veggie additions:
🔘 Arugula
🔘 Spinach
🔘 Onions
🔘 Mushrooms

I love taking the same base recipe and switching it up each time – it keeps things fun, flexible, and sustainable while dieting.

Review: Profeel protein pudding

Review: @Tasty_Profeel Protein Pudding

My wife picked these up at @StopAndShop, I’ve also heard that they are at @Wegmans, and was raving about them – so naturally, I had to try them. My wife isn’t a meathead, so when she likes something that counts as a “health food,” it usually means it’s legitimately delicious.

Each pudding is around 130 calories with 17g of protein, which means they pass the Protein Test (at least 10g of protein per 100 calories).

The taste? Basically like @Jello pudding. Every flavor delivered, but the Mint Chocolate really surprised me – in a good way. Definitely worth checking out.
