Gnarly Sports Nutrition Greens, Collagen and Protein

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   I recently tried a couple products from the Gnarly Sports Nutrition line: Performance Greens, Collagen Pro, and Vegan Plant Protein. Each of these products help your body in different areas and give you the supplements to build up your nutrition.

The first product I tried was the Performance Greens in the flavor of Blueberry Acai. This drink is supposed to support blood flow, endurance, and recovery. I was really hoping to like these greens, as they're an easy and healthy way to get in those needed vitamins... But that flavor was just too bad for me to handle. The powder did dissolve well in water, and it made a nice green color, but that taste... It was basically all green and no blueberry...I just can't get past that lol. 

 

The next product I tried was the unflavored Collagen Pro, made with pasture raised peptides, vitamin C and Zinc. I've tried several different Collagen in the past, and unfortunately this one was probably the worst. I know it says it's unflavored, but it definitely has a taste. A very bad taste, that I couldn't stand to drink... But the scent was even worse. I won't go into describing that scent and taste, but just know, it's a hard one to stomach. It did also mix well in water, but unfortunately that's all the good it has going for it. 

 

   And the last item I tried, the Vegan Plant Protein, in the flavor of chocolate. It was my favorite of the three! This drink is made to build, nourish, and support muscles. It mixed well in water, and it had a fantastic chocolate flavor. For it being a meal replacement, it didn't seem to keep me full for very long, but I did enjoy drinking it for breakfast. It also seemed to give me a little boost in energy, which I'm not sure if that was supposed to happen, but I definitely enjoyed this protein shake! 

 

   It's been fun trying a few of the Gnarly Sports Nutrition products. I would love to try their other items and see if there anything else I might like!

Jam Jar Oat Bars + Recipe

   If you have some leftover jelly or jam in the jar, and are tired of making sandwiches with it, try making a tasty dessert! These Jam Jar Oat Bars are easy to make, and taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but without the peanut butter. To make these bars, you first build up the crumb bottom.

 

Mix together:

1 Stick of Softened Butter

1 Cup of Flour 

1 Cup of Oatmeal

A Dash of Salt

3/4 Cup of Brown Sugar

Add about 3/4 of this crumb mixture to the bottom of a greased 9 inch baking pan, shaping it together to form the crust. Once layered, spread across your jam or jelly, and sprinkle across the remaining crumb mix you made above. Bake in the oven at 350° for about 30 minutes. Let cool and enjoy as is, or top with ice cream for the ultimate treat! 

 

Enjoy!
