Muddy Buddies

Created By Melissa Bistricer, MS, RDN

As summer starts to come to an end and your getting ready to bring in the new school year. You decide you want to surprise your children, teens, or family members by making a special treat for when they get home from camp or even work. What better way then to spoil them making this amazing sweet treat that has nutritional value too! So how does muddy buddies or some may call it puppy chow have nutritional value? †

Well let us just start by saying Cocoa Hx® is an superfood filled with powerful antioxidants that many of us can benefit from using. It can help to promote brain and heart health, great for all ages! Cocoa in its natural form, it is bitter and has a variety of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants to support overall great health. The dark chocolate in this supplement is what is beneficial with eliminating the saturated fat, sugar, and calories often times found in a regular chocolate bar. Again, the powerful antioxidants in this product will help to support better circulation in the body, brain health, and heart health. †

Then we add in Whey Protein Isolate Powder (vanilla), this will provide the body with easily absorbable essential proteins for individuals who are sensitive to dairy products. Whey protein also has the benefit in helping to support lean body mass and muscle protection. †

Yields: 12 servings, 1/2 cup per serving  

 

Ingredients

6 cups Rice Chex 

4 scoops Cocoa HxⓇ

1 1/4 cup peanut butter 

1 Tbsp Ghee, clarified butter (can use coconut oil instead)  

 3 scoops of whey protein powder isolates – Vanilla

1/4 cup powdered sugar

 

 

 

 

Steps To Making The Perfect Muddy Buddies

  • Measure Chex cereal and place in a large bowl, set aside.
  • Pour powdered sugar and whey protein powder into a 2-gallon resealable zip-lock bag.
  • In a saucepan over low-medium heat add peanut butter, Cocoa Hx®, and Ghee. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth. If using a microwave heat in 20 minute increments until softened. Make sure to stir in between microwaving. 
  • Pour chocolate mixture over cereal and toss until evenly coated.
  • Carefully pour coated cereal mixture into the bag with the powdered sugar and protein powder. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on parchment paper to cool completely. Make sure you let it cool in the fridge for about an hour or so before putting it in a container, otherwise your mix will get soggy.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keeping it in the fridge will keep it fresh and crunchy!

To add more of the bittersweet chocolaty flavor feel free to add in 2-3 scoops of InVite® Health’s Whey Protein Isolate Powder – Chocolate. I guarantee you won’t regret it!

Losing weight is not always an easy task. Did you know that nearly one half of adults in the United States tried to lose weight in the last 12 months? Yes, half of Americans tried and failed to lose weight. Our diet plays a big role into this, as does our low activity rate. But what are some things that you can do, besides jumping onto some fad diet? Let’s talk about the reality of weight loss and what you can be doing about this.† 

Statistics on weight loss

I want to talk about the findings that came from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They recognized that 50% of US adults tried to lose weight over the course of the last year. 56% of those adults were women.† 

We know that those who tried to lose weight reported that their most common method of doing so was trying to exercise and eat less, but it’s the adherence part that is the catch. We have to look really hard at diet and be honest with ourselves. I’ve spoken to many people who claim they have a very healthy and clean diet. In a roundabout way, it may sound healthy, but when we break it down, we can see that they may not actually be making the healthiest choices when it comes to calories, fiber content and more.†

Supplementing with Trim Hx

When it comes to supplements, our Trim HxⓇ formulation can be very beneficial for weight loss. Trim HxⓇ is unique in the sense that it is targeting two different areas in which many people struggle to achieve their weight loss goals. One is to try to promote and speed up the metabolic rate to help promote fat burning. The other is to stop the cravings, so we have to target the brain component that drives cravings for bad, junky, sugary foods.†

This is where our Trim HxⓇ comes into play. This formula includes a registered, trademarked form of an herbal extract known as Grains of Paradise and it’s called CaloriburnⓇ GP. This ingredient has been shown in clinical trials to be effective. It is partnered up with 5-HTP, which is 5-hydroxytryptophan. This is the intermediate step between the conversion of the amino acid tryptophan and the manufacturing of serotonin. This helps to regulate the desire to want to go and snack.†
