We were so excited to open our email and see that a representative from Labrada contacted us to create a recipe using Jamie Eason's new Lean Body For Her Protein. As you probably know by now, we LOVE Jamie! She is one of our biggest inspirations and we even had the chance to meet her in person! Okay, we'll be honest...in 2012 we basically made a detour to Vegas on one of our hiking trips JUST to see HER at the Olympia expo! And she recognized us! How cool is that?

Jamie has changed countless lives (including our own) and continues to do so with her passion for fitness and eating clean. She recently released a new protein powder and we were so excited to try it! The wonderful aroma was the first thing we noticed when we opened the bag. We have already tried it in quite a few recipes (coming to you soon) and it mixes well, bakes well, and even tastes great plain! What sets it apart and makes it so great though is that contains no gluten, artificial flavors, artificial colors, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners. It only has 3 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fat per serving while packing in 25 grams of protein! It is currently available in chocolate and vanilla and they are both delicious!

We were having a He and She Eat Clean get-together at Jim and Tiffany's house so we decided to make our fabulous cookie dough but add a peanut butter cup on top because who doesn't like that combination?!

Ingredients:

Cookie Dough (from previous recipe on the blog):

1/2 c quick cooking oats

1/4 c natural peanut butter

2 tsp pure vanilla extract (avoid HFCS)

2 squares of dark chocolate

1 Tbsp honey

1/4 c egg whites (pasteurized liquid egg whites)

1 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Peanut Butter Cup:

1 Tbsp natural peanut butter

3 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 small scoop Stevia

1 scoop Jamie Eason's Lean Body For Her Protein, vanilla

1 Tbsp cocoa powder

Directions:

1. Prepare cookie dough by adding all cookie dough ingredients to a blender or food processor

2. Press cookie dough into the bottom of muffin tin (lined with muffin liners or coated with coconut oil)

3. Prepare peanut butter cup topping by adding all ingredients to a blender

4. Pour peanut butter cup topping onto the cookie dough

5. Freeze for at least an hour...we actually loved the way they tasted the next day.

He and She Tips:

You will need to let them sit out for a few minutes before trying to remove them from the muffin tin. You could even add protein powder to the cookie dough recipe to increase the amount of protein per serving!

He & She in Vegas - The Olympia Expo!

October 8, 2012Scott Carlson3 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, we took a trip to Las Vegas for the 2012 Olympia Expo to meet industry leaders and to learn about upcoming nutritional supplements and other fitness products.

Before the Expo:

This was our first time to Vegas, so we had a busy couple days touring the strip and trying to fit in as much as we could.

We were a bit intimidated at first by all the chaos in the casinos and the constant parade of tourists on the strip, but we had a blast!

We're not experienced gamblers, so we didn't spend too much time in the casinos, but we spent some time at the tables trying to hit it big so we could cover the cost of our trip...

yeah, that didn't work

(Whitney did win $84 playing a Monopoly slot machine)! As for eating, we did a lot of research prior to our trip to find some healthy restaurants and there are plenty of options at all price points. We will be posting about healthy Vegas restaurants soon!

Update: You can read about our picks for healthy Vegas restaurants

here

At the Expo:

The Expo was at t

he Las Vegas Convention Center, about a mile from the northern side of the Strip. W

e were first in line for tickets and first in line to enter the expo (after the VIPs). Once the doors opened we immediately went to see Jamie Eason (Middleton).

We were able to talk to Jamie's husband, Michael Middleton, while waiting in line - such a great guy!

Scott also got to meet Forrest Griffin, a UFC championship fighter.

It was finally our turn to meet Jamie and

she recognized us!

Jamie made a HUGE impact on

Whitney's

life and she is a terrific role model. Jamie has always been very well-known for being such a great person and she's even friendlier and

more beautiful in person

If you do not already follow Jamie on

facebook

, you should!

The pic below is the message she wrote to us and it's very flattering to have such a kind message come from such a big name in the fitness industry.

We also got to see Amanda Adams, Greg Plitt, and Ashley Horner!

One of the best parts of the expo was all the free samples and items that were being handed out at each booth...we definitely had enough protein shakes and bars to last us for a while...it was like a nutritional supplement buffet and much of what was given out was anything but nutritional. We also received several shaker bottles and t

shirts...

we came away with a carry-on suitcase full of samples!
