June 21, 2019 at 04:01PM by CWC After an intense workout, the last thing I want to do is whip out your blender to mix up breakfast before rushing off to work. And now I don’t have to: Trader Joe’s just came through with a Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie you can grab and… Continue Reading →

June 11, 2019 at 05:05PM by CWC Finding good and good for you protein options when you’re a vegetarian can seem like a difficult feat. But before you make yet another veggie burger for lunch (yawn), check out the most recent episode of You Versus Food, where Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, shares her favorite vegetarian… Continue Reading →

May 28, 2019 at 08:42AM by CWC If you’ve ever tried an Orangetheory Fitness class—which is one of the fastest-growing boutique workout franchises in the country, BTW—you probably left drenched in sweat with legs that feel like they’re made of Jell-O. (Or was that just me?) So what do you have to do in order… Continue Reading →

May 22, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC It’s the super power tucked into every wellness woman’s bag, the thing she never leaves the house (or the gym) without, her secret weapon for hanger emergencies: the protein bar. But finding a protein bar that suits your particular palate and dietary preferences can be tricky, which is… Continue Reading →

May 21, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC Who loves guzzling down a protein shake post-workout, only to cough out a cloud of chalky dust that leaves your mouth as dry as the Sahara Desert? Spoiler alert: absolutely no one. You don’t deserve all that after cranking out a badass HIIT class, and you don’t have… Continue Reading →

May 13, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Last year, when the Well+Good team descended upon ExpoWest—the world’s largest natural product convention, protein was the who’s who of macronutrients. But at this year’s ExpoWest, we noticed another ingredient pushing protein aside. Suddenly, being high in fiber—a designation formerly found on extremely uncool foods, like prunes and… Continue Reading →

April 03, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC I wish the name of every day started with the letter “T” so that we could enjoy the satisfying alliteration of “Taco Tuesday” to the tune of seven times per week. And if you’re living that low-carb or gluten-free life, you can still experience the magic of Taco… Continue Reading →

March 21, 2019 at 01:22PM by CWC I think of my chocolate protein powder the same way I think of kale: a necessary nutrition evil. The taste isn’t exactly like Nutella, the texture leaves much to be desired, and the after-taste—gah, don’t get me started. But alas, I’m into the post-workout tonic—which I gulp down with… Continue Reading →

March 14, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC So you want to start a business. First step is finding the right person to partner with—someone who’s supportive, accepting of your faults when you have a stress freak out, and a fountain of wisdom. Someone like… your mom. Okay, to be real, we all don’t have mother… Continue Reading →

March 13, 2019 at 08:30AM by CWC I’m going to say something pretty controversial: I’m not a huge fan of avocado toast. I love the idea, but every time I eat toast with smashed avocado I can’t help but wish it was smothered instead with peanut butter and honey. But maybe that’s just because I’ve been… Continue Reading →

March 12, 2019 at 07:58AM by CWC Let’s be real. Cereal isn’t something most adults really want to give up. Sure, it’s branded as more of a kids’ thing, but everyone knows a bowl of cereal satisfies at any age. While the eye-catching, artificially-colored and sugar-packed cereals in most aisles aren’t doing anyone any good,… Continue Reading →

February 22, 2019 at 09:52AM by CWC Walk into any drugstore (or gas station, or grocery store) and you’re bound to come across one aisle that’s full of protein bars. And blessedly so—it’s great to have options, especially when those options come in flavors like chocolate brownie, cookie dough, and mint chocolate chip. But so… Continue Reading →
