Hi there!! I am glad/sad to be back from a totally awesome weekend at Blend Retreat. It. Was. Awesome. I met so many amazing bloggers, made some great friends, and got some fantastic swag. Seriously. I think my bag doubled in weight on the way home.
Not pictured because I ate it: pop chips, beanitos, and dry soda. Good thing we had all those snacks because we were super active!! We had 2 boot camps, a crazy good hike and more. I’ll post a full recap soon, I can’t think right now, I’m still sleepy! I am so glad I have today off work. I’ll be traveling later this week for work, so I got to take an extra day. Win.
For breakfast today I did not feel like cooking at all (actually that means I didn’t want to do the dishes that follow cooking, just keeping it real). So I had a Core Power protein drink and some fruit.
This morning I had the honey flavor which was so good. After the hike this weekend I had the vanilla one and it seriously tastes like melted ice cream. It would be fantastic blended up with some ice for a creamy treat!
I’m officially hooked on these, they are protein packed, not too sweet, and they don’t upset my stomach like a lot of protein drinks do (I’m thinking because it’s lactose free). The nutrition stats are great too, but a little higher in sugar than I’d like for a meal drink, but perfect for a post workout drink (which is what they’re made for). I haven’t seen these in stores around here so I hope I can find them! I’m already craving one 
How was your weekend?
ahh so many awesome foods there! i’m a huge fan of cascadian farms products. i always get them when they’re on sale at work, and love that they generally have coupons too! plus the granola is super chunky which is the best!
Me too!! I always stock up when they are on sale, my husband is a HUGE granola fan, he’s so excited to try them all.
i have granola every day! i have 4 kinds at home right now… oops
Haha! That’s like my husband. If it were up to him we’d have those dispensers in our kitchen with 10 kinds.
I am so excited to hang! Thanks for coming to Blend!! I tried the honey Core Power and loved it.
I can’t wait to hang out!! Wasn’t the honey one good? I was imagining something syrupy and sweet, so far from it!
I was seriously surprised with how amazingly good the Core Power drinks were! Glad you made it home safe!
Thanks! They were perfect after that hike
The honey was delicious, but agree on the high sugar count. Elizabeth (Heather – LOL. Sorry about that) thank you for helping to make the weekend a blast. Was great getting talking with you and looking forward to next year. For.Sure.
It was great to meet you! Don’t feel bad about calling me Heather
I can’t WAIT!
The schwag was off the charts amazing! I didn’t even see there was a chocolate core! Damn.
Sooooo glad to meet you. Best roomie ever!
I kept hearing about how great the honey flavor was but never got to try it! And yeah- the sugar content scares me a bit. I had a sip of the strawberry banana though and it was great! The whole weekend was awesome and it was so great to meet you!!
