Kay's Naturals Review


At Kay’s Naturals we have surveyed the vast landscape of so-called nutritious foods and determined that the missing link is a Better Balance™ of protein, carbohydrates, fiber and fats. Kay’s all-natural, gluten-free line seeks to fill this gap with food that has a healthy balance of great taste, low calories, lean soy protein, zero cholesterol, lower carbohydrates and high fiber. Our foods also provide a complete amino acid profile.

Kay’s Naturals has chosen to focus on a healthier balance of ingredients:
    • Certified (CGFO) gluten-free
    • 35% natural soy protein
    • 4 - 12% healthy fats
    • 12% fiber
    • 20 - 45% carbohydrates

Every 1.2-ounce (34g) serving has:
    • 12g natural soy protein
    • 120 - 130 calories
    • 11g -15g net carbohydrates
    • 4g - 5g fiber
    • Low saturated fats/no trans fats

MY REVIEW: 10/10!

I loved EVERYTHING in the package! 
The cereal was SO sweet and crunchy, I enjoyed it by itself for a snack, and sometimes I mixed it with yogurt for a delicious yogurt mess! :)  

If I had to choose an absolute favorite, I would pick the Lemon herb chips. I was surprised because I thought out of everything, this would be my least favorite, but it was SOOOOO GOOD!!! 

The Mac and Cheese Protein Puffs were awesome. They reminded me of Cheese Puffs that I used to enjoy as a kid, but more grown up flavoring and full of PROTEIN and healthy things instead of junk!

BIRTHDAY BONANZA!!!

My birthday was on October 5th, but it has been celebrated for about ten days! :) 

First, I went to dinner on October 4th with some friends. That was fun. 

On my actual birthday, we got an EXTRA day of Fall Break, so I got to spend the ENTIRE day with Jared! He got me a BEAUTIFUL NorthFace jacket. I LOVE the color and the style and the fit! It's PERFECT! Boyfriend did GOOOOOOOD! 
:)

I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding on October 6th, so I was immersed in wedding stuff all day saturday. She had a 2:00 wedding, so we did my family birthday dinner after the wedding. I picked Hananoki (Japanese restaurant). I LOVE the Hibachi grill and watching the chefs do tricks! Jared told them it was my birthday, so they brought out icecream afterwards and the whole side of the restaurant sang to me :) 

Then, on Sunday after church, we both traveled to stay Jared's family for the week of Fall Break. 


They threw me a birthday party!!! It was so sweet! We also celebrated Grandad's birthday, since his was the week before mine. 

Charlotte (Jared's niece) gave me her princess crown and boa to wear for my birthday party! :) PRECIOUS!!! 


I took a few pics with Boston (Jared's nephew)


We had a GIRLS DAY on one of the days. Charlotte, Holly (Jared's sister), Kathy (Jared's mom) and I all went shopping and painted our nails. 

FUN FUN!


I got a new curling wand for my birthday, so I tried it out on our girls day! It took some getting used to, but it made some fun curls! 


YAY FOR TURNING 23!!!

Max Muscle Nutrition Review

Max Muscle sent me some of their products to review on my blog!
Emerge is a powerful fat loss and body composition slenderizing system specially formulated to inhibit appetite, promote the release of fat from stored fat cells and accelerate the burning of fat for fuel.

C.O.M.P. delivers a precision hybrid of multiple high quality proteins featuring Whey Protein Concentrate 80% (WPC 80%). This unique formula includes protein sources with long, medium and short chain peptides comprised of all essential and non-essential proteinogenic amino acids.

Max Gourmet Protein is a High protein low carb shake. Don't let the milk shake taste fool you this is a powerful daily protein supplement. Max Gourmet Proteins unique blend contains Multi-Max Protein Crea-Syn Colostro-Max Amino-Drive Vitamins AND Minerals and essential fats. Max Gourmet is one of the best tasting supercharged energy enhancing specialized proteins on the market. We know it will help you get to the next level in your physique development.

Full Blown XXX is an ultra concentrated pre-workout formula designed to support energy, strength, power, and stamina. The bioactive ingredients in Full Blown XXX have been shown to increase nitric oxide production and vasodilation, provide buffering function, and enhances energy and power for explosive and intense workouts. This is a science-based formula supported by published peer reviewed research to enhance any workout program.




MaxPro Super Protein Concentrate is a powerful blend of whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and potassium caseinate. MaxPro contains over 300% more bio-available protein than regular whey protein. More bio-available protein means higher nitrogen retention resulting in faster recovery and increased muscle growth. MaxPro tastes great and has no chalky aftertaste. All 4 flavors are instantized for easy mixing.



Emerge: 8/10. I LOVED the unique flavors. Sour Apple, Blue Raspberry, Watermelon Splash, Pineapple Pizazz, they tasted awesome! The only reason I gave it an 8/10 is because I didn't really feel an energy surge like I get when I drink Advocare's SPARK. It still gave me energy for my workout, but I like to get that hyper feeling when I drink an energy drink. 

C.O.M.P. 10/10! I mixed this in a smoothie and it was fabulous!

Max Gourmet Vanilla Caramel Swirl: 10/10! OH MY GOSH. This protein powder tasted AMAZING. I mixed it with caramel yogurt and ice into a smoothie. It was phenomenal! 

Full Blown XXX: 3/10. This was a pre-workout drink that gives you energy and provides you the strength to power through tough and long workouts. I loved the taste of the drink, but I couldn't finish it all because I started getting super hot and my body started tingling. I didn't like that feeling at all. It was uncomfortable. I know some people enjoy that feeling that Beta-Alanine gives, but this kind of drink wasn't for me. 

Max Pro Super Protein Concentrate: 10/10! The banana flavor seriously tasted like a taffy-taffy! MMM. I also enjoyed the Pina Colada flavor.
