CORE Foods

I am always on the GO. ALWAYS! Ya'll know my schedule and how much I have going on, so I don't have to repeat it. I very rarely find time to sit down for a full meal, but I am all about nutrition and fixing my diet for smart choices.  Paleo and clean eating :) So, enter CORE Foods - which I heard of through the FitApproach community. I was excited to have the opportunity to test them out. I was sent one of each flavor: Raw Walnut Banana, Raw Cashew Cacao, & Raw Almond Raisin. One of the coolest things about CORE foods Defender Meals are they are SUPER FRESH. They arrived with an ice pack (which I have used for my achilles and knees haha double bonus) and instructions to store in the freezer to preserve freshness. 
They are good frozen for 6 months, in the fridge for 1 month and on the go for a week.  The are totally fresh and raw with no preservatives so you can't leave them out.  I let mine sit out for about 10-15 minutes before I ate it.  As you can see in the pic - you eat it + drink a full glass = a full bowl of oatmeal. I was honestly impressed with how well it filled me up and held me over. I can eat....A LOT, so I was happy to see it kept me full. I was also impressed it was Vegan (not that I am a Vegan, but that everyone can eat it).  The taste was a little different, I won't lie.  Don't expect a sweet taste, but they are good. It's good, clean, healthy food.  There are also Warrior Meals, which have added Whey protein. They sell them in packs of 10 for $39.99 on their website – which averages to about $4 a meal.

  2. This is interesting. I need to do better with my eating. I think I need to start a specific weekly post as such because I am not holding myself accountable. It's like, I feel like I can eat whatever bc of my intense teaching/workout schedule. We shall see. In ref to your last post, we understand. It's hard to keep up with all this internet interaction and real life!
