Chocolate Mango PB&J

Happiness is packages of awesomeness in the mail. Through my partnership with Fit Approach, I received a giant box from Amazing Grass while I was at home!

Wanna guess what was in it!?

I’m definitely dragging a bunch of this to New Jersey with me! I was super excited about pretty much everything in the box, but let’s break it down real quick! :]

Amazing Grass recently began combining their organic Green Superfoods with organic plant-based protein! :D! They are also…

• USDA Organic
• Gluten-Free
• Non-GMO
• Vegan

There are three different flavors to choose from: Original, Pure Vanilla, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Given my history of pounding down Reeses Pieces, I’m obviously a sucker for Chocolate + PB, so I went with that one!

You can buy them in a regular container (includes 10 servings) or as 10 packages ($5 more). Each serving contains…

• 190 calories
• 11g CHO’s (6g dietary fiber + 4g sugars)
• 7g fat
• 20g protein
• 340mg sodium
• 420mg potassium
• 7 servings of alkalizing greens
• 2 full servings of fruits + veggies!

I’m also super excited about the other goodies in the box (yay for green living!) That mason jar is definitely going to come into handy, and I love that it comes with a cap that I can stick a straw through!

In an effort to lessen waste, grocery stores in the bay area charge now for plastic bags. As a result, reusable totes are especially awesome around here, and I’ve been meaning to do more regular stretching, so that yoga towel (it’s so soft <3) will be great for my yoga mat!

I rarely use ice in my drinks because my teeth are rather sensitive to the cold (I’m a slow ice cream eater too ._.), but I can usually get by with chilling drinks using frozen fruit! :] This was a great pick-me-up smoothie for me in between my TA-ing for Twirly Girls Pole Fitness in the morning and going for a hike up Mission Peak with my brother in the afternoon! :]

For the record, the mango is the “J” part of PB&J, just in case you were wondering. I figured throwing in some other type of fruit would be fun, and we had a bunch of ripe mangos at home, so why not!? I do not have fancy cups/glasses at home, so you get my cat mug. <3
