Chocolate Deluxe Protein Parfait


This morning I didn't have a lot of time to workout at the gym before I had to be ready for the day. On the weekends the gym I go to doesn't open until 7 so I ended up with a little over an hour to workout. Let me tell you I kicked butt this morning at the gym. I powered through 40 minutes of cardio and almost half an hour of weight training. By the time I left the gym I was dripping in sweat.

After my grueling workout I needed a quick snack to refuel- of course, parfaits are my go to. It's no secret that I have a love affair with Quest Bars (who doesn't!?!) and heated up Quest Bars are out of this world. That got my brain thinking, why not heat up another type of protein bar? And so I did just that. I chopped up a GF Pure Protein Bar and microwaved it for 25 seconds. It came out all ooey and gooey like a brownie fresh out of the oven. Let me tell you it was DELICIOUS mixed in with greek yogurt!

Pure Protein Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons homemade granola
  • 1 Gluten Free Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe Bar, cut into chunks

Cut up protein bar into chunks. Microwave for 20-25 seconds depending on the strength of your microwave.

Place heated up protein bar chunks in with greek yogurt and homemade granola (if desired) and enjoy the ooey gooey goodness!

  1. If you read my email yesterday, you’ll know I’m now a firm believer in taking digestive enzymes to help boost protein adsorption and your overall digestive health.

    The positive benefits go on and on. Especially when it comes to muscle building and recovering from training. It’s really a no-brainer.

    And the specific enzymes I recommend are Wade Lightheart’s ==>‘Masszymes’ formula

    That’s because they contain the highest protease [digests protein] counts on the market, and they’re specifically designed for athletes, and high performance individuals.

    So let’s assume you now understand the benefits of taking digestive enzymes.

    And let’s also assume you’ve ordered some Masszymes and want to make the most of them.

    How should you take these enzymes to maximize your results?

    Well, speaking with peak performance expert Wade Lightheart, who has “over 10 years experience” of taking digestive enzymes, the general rule is this:

    TAKE BEFORE MEALS. AND TAKE BEFORE YOUR WORKOUTS.

    And the more you take, the faster the results.

    It’s reassuring to know that no one, in over 70 years of enzyme research, has experienced any prolonged negative side effects to a massive or minor intake of digestive enzymes.

    Quite the contrary — many individuals have experienced significant improvements in health, vitality, and performance with even low dosages of enzymes.

    Wade also recommends GRADUAL INCREMENTAL INCREASES are the best way to add enzymes to your diet.

    He initially took between 40-50 enzymes per day of his high quality enzyme formulation — although after about 5,000 enzymes ingested in total, his need/desire for them dropped.

    And HIS ENZYME INTAKE NOW is around 25-35 capsules per day.

    So that translates to about 8 Masszymes capsules per meal minimum.

    And you may want to boost this as high as 15 capsules (or more, depending on your age, the intensity of your training, current health condition etc…).

    Another factor to keep in mind is what Wade calls “The Critical 30% Factor”.

    You see, although it’s not clear exactly how many enzymes the body can handle, most individuals have only 30 percent of their enzyme potential by the time they are 40 years old.

    And this study was done many years ago, as reported in Dr. Howell's Book "Enzyme Nutrition”.

    Today, enzyme levels could in fact be a lot LOWER, maybe as low as 30 percent at 20 years old, since third generation enzyme deficiency is rampant, and a big reason why North America has 50 percent of the population overweight.

    If that is the case, then we all need to be boosting our enzyme levels with a high quality digestive enzyme formula.

    And to my knowledge, there’s nothing more powerful right now than Masszymes.

    P.S. This is my final email about digestive enzymes, and tomorrow we’ll be shifting gears.

    So if you’re interested in trying these enzymes for yourself, I highly recommend you visit the link below now:
