So Indiana has suddenly decided to give us full on winter weather. I mean 20 degrees and icy and snowy. Sounds lovely right? I actually don’t mind it too much right now as we get in to the holidays. However, once it turns January I am going to be over it. I will just enjoy it for the moment.
To help fight the cold, it seemed obvious that I make a big bowl of warm and comforting oatmeal. How could this not make you feel better? Chocolate protein oatmeal topped with natural peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, Reese’s peanut butter chips and a Combat Crunch chocolate peanut butter cup protein bar.
Seriously though, you need to get your hands on these new Combat CrunchĀ protein bars from Musclepharm. They are soft and chewy on the inside, not hard and stick to your teeth like most protein bars. Plus they have 12g of fiber and only 5 sugar. Compare that to your normal protein bar with 20+ grams of sugar and less than 1 gram of fiber.
But anyway, you can see how much I love chocolate and peanut butter. If you share the same love as me, you are only a short moment away from being in taste bud heaven.
