Native to Peru, maca (scientifically called Lepidium meyenii) is a plant in the broccoli family that gets divided into categories based on root colour: purple, black, red, and yellow.

What Does A Nutritionist & Personal Trainer Eat
Wednesday, 30 August 2017
A question I get asked quite often is what I typically eat in a day which does vary depending on my goals, but the bulk of how I set up meals, snacks, and the pre/post workout nutrition is the same. Some may think nutritionists are food snobs constantly judging everyone’s shopping cart… and I still

They provide great texture and can be an added benefit to those seeking an added protein boost in their diet. I particularily love adding them to protein bars. Note in this recipe a

You can make protein oats (proats) in many different ways, but I find the easiest way is to simply add all of the dry ingredients into a
