Frozen Bananas...Yummy Snack!

One of my favorite snacks is frozen bananas.  Yep, just plain.  YUM!  It's so easy to "make" and can be really cheap too.  I've even purchased the very ripe bananas that are discounted at this store just for this purpose.

All you need to have is a banana (or more if you're hungry), a knife and a plate you don't mind freezing.  Unpeel it, slice it, put it in the freezer and BAM...wait for the yumminess.  

Here are some pictures:

I like to slice the bananas really thin so they are ready faster.

Just another view...I prefer using plastic containers as it seems like the bananas come off easier to eat.  I don't want anything left behind.








ENJOY!

The Europa and Supplement Thoughts...

Last weekend I had a choice: go to Phat Camp in Vegas or go to the Europa Expo here in Phoenix.  I chose the Europa because it was close to town and I have been to A LOT of Phat Camps.  *sidenote: check out About Phat Camps if you would like more information about what these are.

I had so much fun over the 2 day event.  I loved spending time with my husband, but I also loved going around to all of the booths, seeing all of the supplements and clothing lines, as well as watching the American Strongman competition.

I still have TONS of supplements left, but here are some of my favorites that I have tried so far.

NLA for Her pre-workout "Uplift" - not bad.  I'm typically not a fan of "the tingles", but I felt like I could lift a ton.  I really liked that part.  Flavor isn't too bad either, but I suggest following the directions for the amount of water to use.  The first day, I used much more and it didn't taste quite as tasty as day two.

Would I buy these?  Maybe to mix up my workouts.  Just not a huge fan of spending money on something that makes me tingly.  Very interested in trying other supplements in their line.

Optimum Nutrition Pro BCAA - DELICIOUS!!! I know it comes in a few flavors, but this was the lemonade.  I added the full amount of water and then some.  Loved how it made me feel and once again, loved the taste.

Will I buy these in the future?  ABSOLUTELY!!!

 Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy.  I believe this may be a new flavor, strawberry lime.  I briefly looked for these on the ON website, and couldn't find the flavor.  Once again, LOVE the taste and I love the energy and focus it gives me in my workouts.  I personally took both servings at once and felt great!

Will I buy these in the future?  Probably, but not at the expense of my BCAAs.  :)

GAT Nitraflex - hard core supplement!  STRONG!  Taste was alright.  I felt a slight strangeness to the flavor.  But man was it intense!  Tingles - oh yes.  And just after my 5 minute warm up on the treadmill, I was already sweating.

Will I buy this?  Probably not.  Just too strong for me.












That's pretty much all that I tried last week.  I am trying to stick with one brand before moving onto the next, and I have multiple samples of some things.  I will review more in the future.

Until next time, have a wonderful week!
