I could never say no to a warm, chewy and decadent cookie, but I also love fitness, wellness and am so passionate about nutrition. For the longest time I felt like I had to choose one or the other: A) stay connected to my health and fitness goals, or B) enjoy those fatty desserts without even thinking about it… 1000 calories in a bakery style cookie? Well… As long as you don't tell me, it doesn't matter...
But it does! Staying committed to your health goals and being able to enjoy the foods you love without feeling guilty is what having a GOOD relationship with food is all about.
I live by the 80/20 rule. 80% of the time, I focus on nourishing my body with wholesome, nutrient-dense ingredients, and the other 20%, I indulge on what I LOVE. For me, that's a good sweet treat.
As someone who works out every day and truly cares about what goes into my body, I've always paid close attention to ingredients and nutrition labels. I went on to study this at New York University during my masters program, where my courses focused heavily on health, nutrition and anatomy/physiology.
Our relationship with food is ultimately what leads to longevity. But what's the point to living a long life if you can't enjoy the foods you love? Where’s the fulfillment to the everyday pleasures?
And that's how PROTREATS was born.
With my two passions: fitness and food, I wanted to make a cookie that wasn't just "healthier", but was truly made with QUALITY ingredients. Ingredients you can pronounce and feel GOOD about eating, like collagen, protein, spelt flour, pastured raised eggs, grass fed butter, and flaxseeds. The 80/20 rule applies here too. Let’s have all the good parts of a cookie, but with some nutritional value!
Whether you're into fitness or not, protein is essential for supporting muscles and your health. PROTREATS cookies gives you energy and still tastes like the kind of cookie you'd crave from your favorite bakery, but without the crash. Plus, it has the best kinds of ingredients, like organic spelt flour, grass-fed whey and collagen, pasteurized organic eggs and absolutely NO seed oils, no preservatives or artificial garbage.
This is a long post, but creating PROTREATS has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my wellness journey, and has been something I've been looking to do for years. It's a way to honor both sides of who I am. But whether you're someone who's passionate about exercise, or just loves cookies as much as I do, I hope PROTREATS reminds you that you deserve the best parts of life, you deserve to feel good, and you deserve a good treat.
High protein, low guilt, all flavor. PROTREATS <3
