I recently tried some Isopure Zero Carb protein drink (blue raspberry flavor). Tasty, and an excellent source of protein! It's packed full of 40g whey protein, and has no aspartame, no preservatives, 0g carbs, 0g fat, 8,880mg BCAA's, is sweetened with sucralose, and is lactose-free.
On the flip side, I also tried a weird 'new' (at least new to me) candy bar from the Maverick gas station: Twin Bing, the nutty chocolaty cherry treat! Only mildly tasty, in my opinion.
In more chocolate news, I also recently sampled some Hershey's Special Dark, limited edition, w/ Raspberry flavoring and Mauna Loa Macadamia pieces - only 45% cacao - but a good source of flavanol antioxidants. This was just days after also trying a Hershey's Extra Dark with Macadamia nuts and Cranberries - 60% cacao, this time, mmmmm! =)
Back on the healthy front, I also sampled some ReddRox vital hydration drink - no sugar, no caffeine, no calories, replenishs electrolytes & antioxidants, no carbs, no calories, no fat, no protein, lots of minerals, and made from 100% organic South African red bush needles. Not the tastiest drink around, but not bad if mixed with juice.
I finished listening to the "Star Trek Voyager: Mosaic" abridged audiobook on cassette during the commute to work and back over the past week. Very cool, very suspenseful. Recommended.
I swear Jim Britain is trying to fatten me up. He also recently handed me some York Chewy Mints (w/ dark chocolate), and some Hershey's Cacao Reserve Truffles (35% cacao) - milk chocolate, not dark, but sometimes you have to compromise. LOL - thanks, Jim! =)
I've been listening to Dan Sindel's "Symphonic Guitars" Podcast - classical music on electric guitar. Very awesome, I especially liked Vivaldi's "Four Seasons - The Spring."
