Chocolate Brownie Batter


After a wicked 70min elliptical session (7.62miles!) and a wonderful dessert breakfast of my Protein Fiber Pudding, I headed out to go meet my dad! I won't go into details, but it was so nice. I am so grateful to have the family (flawed as they are) that I have. This is the man that has raised me, carried me on his shoulders (while I clutched his eyes in terror), who introduced me to the wonders of lego and climbing trees, who endlessly recounted stories from his childhood over and over- even after he had just finished telling me the same story minutes before. This is the man I waited for every day after school, waiting for him to round the corner on his way home from work, the man who I have admired and looked up to, the man I have strived most to impress and gain acceptance and validation from. I have always felt that if I have my dad in my corner- on my side and agreeing with me, then ALL is right in the world. I guess I will forever be Daddy's little girl. I am infinitely grateful for him and only hope that I can make him proud. I am so lucky and grateful.

Another thing that I am grateful and appreciative for (and has also helped me in my times of need) is my Chocolate Brownie Batter (vegan?). Lame segue? Yes,it's bad, but this my friends, is SO GOOD:

Chocolate Brownie Batter
-Davinci Sugar Free Syrup (From Coconut to Toasted Marshmallow, Cookie Dough)
-Sweetener (sweet and low)
I use anywhere from 4-8 scoops and make sure it's thick!

STIR STIR STIR... I kid you not- this tastes JUST like Brownie Batter. Especially if you use SF Pancake Syrup- the following syrups work well!
-Vermont

This seriously is one of my all time favorite products! You HAVE to try this!!

For a pimped out Protein Version add a scoop of Chocolate Protein powder to the 'batter'.
-Adding Cocoa is also good!

BIOX Xtreme Power Whey Isolate



Many of you are aware that I have a LOVE affair with BIO X ISOLATE PROTEIN! I AM IN LOVE! I have been in the industry for YEARS- and have tried hundreds. The flavor profile, processing, manufacturing, quality and purity of the BioX isolates is unparalleled! The texture- CREAMY with water.
They are alkaline in the body due to being derived from Sweet Whey and have all 4 and 6 micro/macro fractions intact! They also have Aminogen- which is a patented digestive enzyme to help breakdown and absorb the protein.
Best CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE, VANILLA, STRAWBERRY BANANA, COOKIES AND CREAM...

The Strawberry Banana is the only one I have had that doesn't taste artificial! It tastes creamy with water and I make a killer 'philly cream cheese' dip or cottage cheese/yogurt dip or bars with this.
Cookies and Cream is TO DIE FOR! smooth, sweet and mellow.
Chocolate- honestly- best chocolate ever. Creamy.
Vanilla- CREAMY, smooth- AMAZING.
Peanut Butter Chocolate- made with read defatted peanut flour- not artificial flavor! Killer! It's like a melted Reese's bar (less salty). Decadent and amazing. I used to LOVE Allmax Isoflex Peanut Butter Chocolate (and still like it but it's an artificial thinner texture) until this came out! I DIED. Strive has a thinner protein with this flavor as well.

I am not associated/paid/ endorsed nor have incentive to advertise this. I deal with protein/sports nutrition companies/sell DAILY and this brand is my love. It's a running joke by people that know me. I LOVE IT. I will do an Ultimate Nutrition and Allmax Isoflex review later. They also have some of the best NATURAL WHEY ISOLATE PROTEINS (STEVIA) to date.

This is from their site and explains why I love it (besides the taste). They also have a Fusion Matrix and an incredible Whey Protein Complex! Their Protein 32 bars are AMAZING as are most of their other products! The Protein 32 Bars have 32g of Protein, 8-10g OF FIBER! and no sugar!!
Check out their PERFORMANCE PROTEINS and CATALOGUE.





Xtreme Power Whey Isolate
Whey protein (Power Whey) is the cornerstone of our various protein supplements. Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacturing. In its native state, it is approximately 11% protein, 87% carbohydrates (lactose) and 2% fat. It takes nearly 100 lbs of whey to produce 8 lbs of Power Whey. Power Whey is isolated using a very gentle cross flow microfiltration, ultrafiltration and diafiltration process to remove the unwanted components of whey (fat and lactose) and retain the vital components (the protein, including all of its whey fractions). Power Whey contains a generous amount of all the essential amino acids. It is especially high in the branched chain amino acids and the conditionally essential amino acid L-glutamine. There is over 17 grams of glutamine per 100 grams of protein in the Power Whey Isolate.



Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Whey?

Next to water, protein is the most predominant substance in the human body. Protein is required in the growth, maintenance and development of all body tissues including muscles, blood, skin, hair, nails, and internal organs (the heart and brain). In short, protein (whey) is essential for life.

What is Xtreme Power Whey?

Xtreme Power Whey is a whey protein that is isolated using a very gentle microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and diafiltration process to remove the unwanted components of whey (fat and lactose) and retain the vital components (the protein including all of its whey fractions). Xtreme Power Whey contains a generous amount of all the essential amino acids. It is especially high in branched chain amino acids and the conditionally essential amino acid L-glutamine.

How is Xtreme Power Whey Different From Other Proteins?

Xtreme Power Whey is derived from a sweet dairy whey (many whey proteins are derived from acid whey). This means that Xtreme Power Whey is a non-denatured and complete whey protein supplement. Xtreme Power Whey's special isolation process yields a complete whey fraction profile including: beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, bovine serum albumin.

Does Xtreme Power Whey include Glutamine?

Xtreme Power Whey has a very impressive amino acid profile. As far as glutamine content, Power Whey contains a remarkable level of naturally occurring glutamine. There is over 17 grams of glutamine per 100 grams of protein in the isolate.


Does Xtreme Power Whey include Glutamine Peptides?
Don't be fooled! "Glutamine Peptides" is not glutamine. It is hydrolyzed wheat protein. What's the difference? Well for starters, hydrolyzed wheat protein only contains 30% glutamine as part of its amino acid profile. Some companies add a small amount of hydrolyzed wheat protein and combine it with naturally occurring glutamine in the whey protein in an attempt to mislead you into believing that their product contains a significant amount of added glutamine. For example, in a 50 gram serving of whey protein there is about 8 grams of naturally occurring glutamine. The company will then add 2 grams of hydrolyzed wheat protein and make an implied claim that there is 10 grams of added glutamine in their product! If a product you are currently using is marketed in this manner be skeptical. What else is this company misleading you about? We avoid using hydrolyzed wheat protein (glutamine peptides) in our products as it is a common allergen and a cheaper and inferior source of protein and glutamine.



Expectant mothers protein requirements are increased by as much as 30% so whey protein is an ideal source to obtain the extra protein required.

Whey For A Compromised Immune System

Whey protein enhances the body's immune system by raising Gluathione levels.

In Short, Whey Protein Is For Eveyone!

Does Xtreme Power Whey Contain Lactose?

Lactose is a milk sugar that causes bloating and stomach discomfort in some individuals. Xtreme Power Whey is exceptionally low in lactose. There is less than 2% lactose in the isolate. To put this in perspective, a single serving of the isolate has less than 0.5 grams of lactose. In comparison a 12oz glass of 2% milk has 21 grams of lactose.

How is Xtreme Power Whey Sweetened?

Xtreme Power Whey is sweetened with a revolutionary new sweetener that tastes like sugar but has zero calories. We avoided using any controversial sweeteners like aspartame. Although sucralose (used in our product) is over three times as expensive, it was chosen because we wanted the best and safest choice for you!

Xtreme Power Whey Isolate "All Natural" is also available for individuals that do not want any artificial ingredients including sweeteners, colours, or flavours
