Stay Healthy Gift Guide for Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts

by Lindsay Cotter · 11/28/2014

It’s here. The weekend of sales galore! Except now stores are opening on Thanksgiving, so I guess Black Friday is really Blackish Friday? Haha. Either way, people will be (if not already) starting to Holiday Shop and search for healthy holiday gift guides, right? Yes, online shopping for today, small business saturday, and cyber monday! WOO!

And if you’re like me, you have a friend, family, or spouse that is in the midst of training for a certain race or event. Or they might be planning on training for some event/race come 2015. Either way, they need to be on top of their nutrition game and they need STAY healthy during the holidays in order to keep training. This is where my STAY HEALTHY gift guide comes in!

get healthy, stay healthy guift guide

Food and recovery –-> SO SO Important when it comes to staying healthy while training! That’s why I am going to BOAST about my favorite FOOD and RECOVERY gifts for athletes or fitness enthusiasts. Yes I said BOAST, because I love them all and we could NOT survive endurance training without all of these products. And lucky for you, they all have sales going on NOW!

Okay, let’s start!

1. MCT OIL —> You’ve heard me go on and on about this. It’s a MUST HAVE and a great gift or stocking stuffer for everyone! These fats are digested fast and easily.  It’s fast and can be converted to ENERGY STAT! This is why it’s great for ALL athletes, quick energy! This is also why some endurance athletes carry MCT oil on their long rides, runs, etc.

I think Vitacost will be having coconut oil products on sale, so that might be a good place to start looking. If not the Barlean’s Site itself!

Ways to use MCT oil

 

2. Enduropacks – The EnduroPacks Daily System

  • Each pack includes a 30-day supply of our: Liquid Multi-Vitamin, Concentrated Electrolyte Spray, Essential Amino-Acid Patch, and L-Glutamine Recovery Complex.
  • Includes the essential PRE-, DURING-, and POST-workout vitamins and minerals for athletes.

We Love our monthly shipment of Enduropacks and take the Multi- V daily! James (aka the Kiwi) uses the amino acid patched after each hard training session. I use the L-Glutamine after my strength sessions and for gut health. Both are great for replenishing msucles, boosting immunity, and speeding up recovery.

Black Friday Sale  –> For 48hrs Enduropacks will give 20% off of a one month pack.  The promo code is “TGIVING20”.

3. Flapjacked Protein Pancake Mix–> OH HOW WE LOVE THEM! This company has done wonders with their protein packed product this past year! We use their protein pancake mix in more than just pancakes.

You’ve see my HEALTHIFIED recipes with them and my Healthy Bites recipe! I love that I can use this mix to give an extra protein boost and reduce sugar.

Plus I love their ingredients; oat flour, coconut flour, quinoa flour, etc. Heck, I’ve even made protein mug cakes with their mix in the microwave! A great gift for the whole family or a stocking stuffer!

Flapjacked BLACK FRIDAY SALE -> 

  • Family Pack + FREE FlapJacked Blender Bottle for $24.99
  • – 1 Power Six Pack for $34.99
    BOTH have free shipping. One other important detail: This sale CAN NOT be combined with any other offers.

4. And last, but not least … SIZZLEFISH. What we would do without our beloved Omegas? I cannot express ENOUGH how important OMEGA 3’s are for the body. You can check out my whole post here about the benefits.

Plus cooking fish takes about 10-15 minutes. Seriously! I made this dish in 15 minutes flat!

But let’s talk about Sizzlefish. It’s Wild Caught Fish (only a few types are not wild), pre portioned, and delivered to your door. You can buy one month or even a 3 month subscription! We eat fish about 5x a week because of this and it has helped our nutrition improve ten fold!

Black Friday Sale –> For 24hrs only: Introductory offer of 33% off for first 100 orders of Wild Caught Paleo packs  (Paleo Prime, and Paleo Prime Plus packs).

Well folks, that about wraps up my gift guide! I truly believe in ALL these products and did not get paid to write this. Which is why I am BOASTING about them. Genuine companies, great nutritious products, GREAT gifts to keep YOU and YOUR FIT Family well and healthy!

So cheers to a Healthy Holiday!

 

What’s your favorite Nutritious Gift?

Cheers!

    Ohhhhh I’ll gladly take this healthy gift package! Particularly that fish and flapjacked stuff, mmm! I think I need to look into Sizzlefish a bit closer because I feel so marine-life deprived lately. Greg is kind of indifferent about eating fish, lol.

    So excited to get my own shipment of SSizzles! It is waiting for me when I get home! I think really nice spice blends and flavored olive oils can be great to (heck anything that is artisan, and thus above my price range)!
