Training Talk Tuesday and Barleans Greens Giveaway

by Lindsay Cotter · 05/07/2013

So, I have a feeling this week is going to be full of product love and appreciation. I’ve been meaning to this for weeks but just got behind. Go figure. Ha!

But really, I want to share some of my (our) “food as fuel” product finds. You see, I am in the kitchen probably 5-7 hours a day. I’m a sherpa wife to a FULL TIME pro triathlete and running a small  gluten free snack business. But my main job is sherpa wife. You might get sick me talking about the food I feed my husband (and myself) but that’s what I do. And that’s what I am passionate about. I love being able to care for husband and I love that he treats me as his queen in return. It makes the job, well, even SWEETER.

start

Anyway, I a getting off on a tangent here. I want to talk about a new addition to the training nutrition plan. Barlean’s Greens and Omega swirls. I can’t believe I didn’t try these earlier. They are superb!

IMG_20130503_131517

As I mentioned last week, we are working on getting James’ recovery and immunity WAY UP as he enters into the RACE season. Last week we cut out dairy (temporarily) and some grains just in case his allergies were causing his immunity to weaken. He’s doing much better this week and feeling stronger! Therefore the organic yogurt is back in the diet along with gluten free oats.

berries

Our focus now is to keep the nutrients DENSE in between key sessions and higher intensity training days. Well, when he trains 5-6 hrs a day, it’s hard to feed him lots of vegetables, fats, oils, protein. Meaning, he just can’t squeeze in a heavy meal before another workout, ya know?

This is where Barlean’s comes in handy. I’ve been using their berry greens (which I love!!) in protein shakes, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. I usually add it in when he has at least 1 hour or more to digest food. I’ve also been adding their omega swirls to his (our) shakes as well as to oatmeal/yogurt topping. Yes, it’s that tasty.

IMG_20130131_120027 IMG_20130505_073212

Example: Today I made a pre-ride shake of Barlean’s, banana, ice, almond milk, tiny bit of protein. He had it along side toast with almond butter. After his swim I added a scoop into his gluten free oats along side egg muffins and organic bacon.

egg bfast

You see, it’s all about SQUEEZING in the extra nutrients when you can. I go into detail here with my vlog. Feel free to ignore my grunge look. Winking smile

 

I’ve never seen a man crave a green smoothie so much. I love it! He loves it. He feels GREAT! And I feel GREAT knowing he is getting in the added nutrients.

If you missed the video, here’s what’s in the greens.

Note: It is Gluten Free but does contain Wheat grass. Wheat grass is NOT A GLUTEN but I do know that some Celiac’s have a problem with it. Just FYI. My stomach is GREAT with these.

How about I share some now, yes? Giveaway time! Barleans’ has generously offered to send on reader a jar of the greens and the flax oil.

To WIN:

  • Tell me what your go to smoothie combo is.
  • Follow Barleans on Twitter
  • Tweet about it. “@LCCotter is hosting @Barleans greens and Omega Swirls giveaway. Go enter and check it out now!.” or something like that.
  • Post on their FB page. Maybe tell them what Omega swirl and green flavor you want to try. Tell them I sent you.
  • And last, tell me if you have any sherpa skills. I know, corny, but I just had to.

They has a cool BLOG too. Take a peak when you can.

Open for US residents. I’ll pick a random winner next Wednesday. YEEEHAWW!

Cheers,

LC (aka sherpa wife)

    Wow! I’d love to try their greens! We got some new products at work which I’m loving but they’re a bit pricey (even with my discount) that I’ve been holding off a bit but I do think they’re worth the price. At the same time, I like to try different things and constantly change things up! My favorite smoothie is a greens, protein powder, 1/2 banana, and peanut butter smoothie. So tasty!

    Um, yes. I am a sherpa to myself when it comes to fuel for workouts, and also because I’m hypoglycemic and have to carry food with me all the time. Then there’s the fact that I have two little ones who always seem to be hungry, and a husband who has to grab his breakfast in the morning to go. You can bet there is always food readily available when I’m around!

I just bought Amazing Grass yesterday after debating forever over my choices! I was doing the Garden of Life Super Greens (not so tasty).

    My go-to smoothie lately is the base (banana, almond milk, vanilla whey, flax, chia, spinach, carrot, celery) + roast beets, berries, cinammon, ginger and allspice. I love the addition of spices! As far as sherpa skills go, my hubby and I split them. He always brings an extra fleece (even if I don’t ask bc he knows I’ll get cold), and I’m the food person – bars, energy balls, and coconut waters are a must!

    I NEVER make smoothies, but I have to say, I keep feeling inclinations towards them lately. What will my first spinach-infused green monster be? I’m guessing bananas, avocado, coconut milk. And pineapple.

    Don’t know where that came from, but it sounds yummy. 🙂

    I think I DO have sherpa skills. In fact, I think I’d love to be a sherpa wife. [Although I might get jealous of just how much food my husband would get to consume. ;)] I would LOVE to plan out meals and make sure everything was tasty, nutrient-dense, and focused on performance. I’d also love the travel, the cheerleading….and the being treated like a queen in return. 😉

    Obviously this means you need to be keeping an eye out for single men at events.

    Oh YUM, I’ve always wanted to try Barlean’s Greens. WE sell it where Iw ork but yet I’ve never had it. I would likely use it like I do the Amazing Grass….but perhaps with some banana and avocado this time since that’s my new favorite (NON IBS-FRIENDLY….Ugh) smoothie combination! With almond milk of course.
    I’ll definitely follow them on twitter too!

    You have probably explained this before but I’m fairly new here – what exactly does it mean to be a sherpa wife? I know that you are very much a part of your husband’s career and success but I didn’t know if there was more to that word.
    BTW – I read your Get Familiar page – I loved the pictures!! And, I didn’t realize that you lived in Austin – one of my very favorite cities!!! (I’m from TX but don’t live there now – I’m a true Longhorn fan, though!!)

    My MAMA has been buying Barlean’s for a LONG LONG LONG time!! 🙂 She always buys the plain oil (flax oil) and she would make the most delish salad dressing EVER: Flax Oil, Mustard, Apple Cider Vinegar – YUM! She once tried the FLAVORED oils but yeah, NOT SO GOOD on salads – LOL!

    M smoothies are always different. Lately, I’ve been doing some spinach, cocoa powder, and silken tofu. With stevia and vanilla. I’ve also been really into blended cauliflower (weird, I know) with cinnamon and vanilla. Loving it!

    I don’t have a blender right now so I just mix everything up & eat with a spoon.. I like a lot of different flavors so just not one right now.. 🙂

    I did all of the extras – do I need to post a separate comment for each one?

    I love smoothies and you know I’m all about added nutrients. 🙂 My fasvorite smoothie is probably my carrot cake… or the oatmeal cookie dough. The only absolute requirements for me are cinnamon and protein though.
