Not all snacking was created equally. A bag of chips after a workout probably isn’t a good idea say like snacking on peanut butter and apples after a workout. Protein and carbohydrates are essential after a workout to replenish your body and build those muscles. Here are some high powered protein snacks to enjoy after a workout or just in general. The great thing about these snacks is that they will also keep you full and satisfied until your next meal.

Tuna Salad on Crackers

Fruit Dip and Apples

Hard Boiled Eggs and Avocado

Hummus Dip and Vegetables

Before you go for that bag of chips, try one of these snacks instead. I guarantee it’ll keep you feeling full and feeling great!

February 22nd is officially recognized as National Margarita Day and it couldn’t have landed on a more perfect day of the week this year than Monday. Now we have a reason to cure those Monday blues with a good ol’ fashioned frozen margarita (extra salt!!) Now I know you all have perfected your Margarita mixing abilities so I’m not here to share with you a recipe today but some unique facts that maybe you didn’t know about the infamous Margarita. Feel free to dazzle your friends with this new found knowledge while sipping down a nice, cold frozen one!

It is believed that the original Margarita was invented in 1948 in Aculpulco by socialite Margarita Sames.

 

The first frozen margarita machine was invented by a high school drop-out named Mariano Martinez in 1971.

On average, Americans consume 185,000 Margaritas per hour.- That’s a lot of Tequila!

The U.S. is the number one tequila market—larger and more important than Mexico.

The South accounts for the majority (34.9%) of the nation’s margarita sales.- What can I say, us Texans love our margaritas!
