No Sugar! Vanilla Protein Bark (nut-free, dairy-free, vegan, low-carb + keto)
A sugar-free, nut-free, dairy-free vanilla bark recipe with a perfect combination of fats, fermented proteins and fiber to put a stop to endless hunger. This post is not about overdoing the protein. Even though I’m using protein powder in today’s recipe, it’s not in large quantities. Today’s protein powder-based recipe includes just enough protein powder to do what protein does best: help us reach satiety, while balancing our satiation with taste, texture and a healthy dose of fats. Fats + protein = the key to stopping endless hunger. You’ve told me that you needed a high-quality, low-carb, soy-free protein powder option. I was on the lookout for nearly 6 months before I found Genuine Health’s fermented Vegan proteins+. Sorry for
Yoga, Hiking, Meditating, Singing, Eating and Dancing at Wanderlust Whistler
Honoring my sense of adventure and mindful living at Wanderlust Whistler 2015 for 5 days of celebrating community, self care and discovery. Last July, I packed up my Scion IQ and drove 600 miles across 2 provinces to Wanderlust Whistler, a 5-day festival which; up until I attended, I assumed was an event solely focused on yoga (asana). I had heard of Wanderlust for many years, but never thought it was the right place for me. You see, I’m no stellar yogi. I can’t balance on my head, my nose doesn’t touch my toes, and it’d be a miracle if I was able to sit through a 30 minute meditation in complete stillness. But I was hungry for adventure so I bit the bullet, bought my ticket and planned for an road
Portobella Chorizo Burgers
This is a guest post by Emily Schromm, of SuperheroUnleashed.com. Good morning, world! Emily Schromm here. My philosophy is this: there is an inner superhero in us all, and it’s OUR duty to UNLEASH it. I am from Denver, Colorado, unleashing my own superhero by way of lifting heavy things, eating bacon, and training clients all around the world. Formerly on some reality television shows and also recently named Women’s Health Magazine’s Next Fitness Star, you better believe it took some good gut-healing food and lots of lifting for me to feel the confidence I feel today. Now, by way of that good food and online training, it’s my calling to help all I can in feeling that same confidence. I want to share one

5 Things Everyone Should Know About Nutrition Labels
Little secret. Those of you that read my blog don’t always watch my videos on YouTube and many of my YouTube subscribers never come over to SarahFit.com. I feel like I have two children who I love dearly. You guys here on the blog tend to be more health conscious and aware of the latest trends. You know what chia seeds are and maybe have even tried a 3 day juice cleanse despite all those pesky nutrition experts telling you not to. Did you know however that legally a nutrition label can be 20{c754d8f4a6af077a182a96e5a5e47e38ce50ff83c235579d09299c097124e52d} off? So even if you count calories religiously, you may be 400 calories over or under at the end of the day if you aim to eat 2000 calories a day. If that was
The 10 Best Yoga Poses for Travelers
We love to travel for so many reasons: Exploring different cultures, taking a break from our inbox, and actually relaxing a little are just a few. One part we don’t particularly enjoy? Feeling super cramped and uncomfortably sandwiched between strangers (who somehow always seem to have a very unhappy baby or a hacking cough) on long flights, train rides, or road trips. While we can’t help with your unfortunate seatmates, we can offer a way counteract all that sitting. The following yoga poses help relieve an achy back, open up hip flexors, and even provide a mini-workout while you’re on the go. They’ll bring blood flow back to your head, legs, and all those body parts that fell asleep. The best part: You don’t need any
