Ever since I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for lunch or dinner to be over so that we could get to the best part, DESSERT! — well I may be a grown up, but that thought still lingers in the back of my mind….Why have a meal when you can have dessert? Here are 6 of the top recipes we have found in our archives which we believe should be shared with everyone.

Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy Bar Smoothie with Bananas
This recipe will create a sweet and refreshing treat, similar to a chocolate banana split. Add one heaping scoop of BSN Lean Dessert Protein (Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy Bar flavor) to 4 ounces of non-fat milk, and mix together. Pour into a blender with approximately 1/4 cup of non-fat, or low fat yogurt. Banana flavored yogurt would be ideal. Add in approximately 1/4 cup of mashed, very fresh bananas. You can freeze the fruit ahead of time for a thicker shake! Vary the amount of fruit used to suit your taste. Blend until shake has reached a smooth consistency, and enjoy!

Banana Nut Bread Smoothie with Cranberries and Walnuts
This recipe will create a uniquely satisfying smoothie, with a fun and fruity twist on your favorite flavor. Add one heaping scoop of BSN Lean Dessert Protein in Banana Nut Bread flavor to 4 ounces of non-fat milk, and mix together. Pour into a blender with approximately 1/4 cup of non-fat, or low fat yogurt. Add in approximately 1/4 cup of fresh cranberries. Freeze the fruit ahead of time for a thicker shake. You can adjust the amount of fruit used to suit your taste. Add about a tablespoon of chopped walnuts. Any more than that will make your blend taste too bland. Blend until the shake has reached a smooth consistency, and enjoy!

Fresh Cinnamon Roll Smoothie with Applesauce and Raisins
Applesauce and raisins add a special kick to this smoothie. Add one heaping scoop of Fresh Cinnamon Roll BSN Lean Dessert Protein into 4 ounces of cold, non-fat milk and mix together. Pour into a blender with approximately 1/4 cup of non-fat, or low fat yogurt. Add in approximately 1/4 cup of applesauce, and a pinch of cinnamon (to taste). Blend until shake has reached a smooth consistency. Top with a tablespoon of raisins.

Banana Cream Pudding with Peaches
Sweet and savory peaches really make this shake a satisfying treat. Add one heaping scoop of BSN Lean Dessert Protein in Banana Cream Pudding flavor to 4 ounces of non-fat milk, and mix together. Pour your mixture into a blender with about 1/4 cup of non-fat, or low fat banana flavored or beach flavored yogurt. Add in about 1/4 cup of peach slices. You can freeze the fruit ahead of time for a thicker shake (highly recommend for this shake.) As usual, vary the amount of fruit used to suit your taste. Blend well until your shake has reached a smooth consistency. To top it off, you can even sprinkle a few nuts on the top, or a few slices of banana as an extra treat.

Chocolate Fudge Pudding Smoothie with Oats and Strawberries
When you combine the taste of strawberries and chocolate, you create an enjoyable and delicious flavored smoothie. Add one heaping scoop of Chocolate Fudge Pudding BSN Lean Dessert Protein to 4 ounces of non-fat milk, and mix together. Pour into a blender with approximately 1/4 cup of non-fat, or low fat yogurt. Add in approximately 1/4 cup of very fresh strawberries. You can substitute raspberries for strawberries if you prefer the taste of chocolate with raspberries instead of chocolate and strawberries. Blend well and top with a teaspoon of oats for a unique texture.

Whipped Vanilla Cream Smoothie with Mango
For a great tasting fruity smoothie, add a little mango! Add one heaping scoop of BSN Lean Dessert Protein in Whipped Vanilla Cream flavor to 4 ounces of non-fat milk, and mix together. Pour your mixture into a blender with about 1/4 cup of non-fat, or low fat yogurt. Add in approximately 1/4 cup of fresh mango, cut up into chunks. Add more or less mango depending on your preference. If you want more of a mango taste, add more. For just a hint of mango, add about 1/8th of a cup of mango or just two or three small chunks. As usual, blend until smooth. Enjoy!

BSN True Mass is a great muscle mass gainer for building lean muscles, and makes a great shake in either chocolate, vanilla or strawberry flavors. But there are other ways to pack on the pounds besides drinking it. I like to mix my BSN True Mass with wheat pancake mix to create a hot delicious breakfast or snack. Heat a griddle until water dances on the grill.

Follow the directions on the pancake batter box, usually its one cup of batter versus 3/4 cup of no-fat milk. I add equal amounts BSN True mass powder and another 3/4 cup of no-fat milk and mix well with a whisk. You want to make sure the batter is thick, and all the lumps are gone.

You can vary the consistency, but pour on the griddle about the size of your palm. Watch the batter for bubbles to pop up, and when they cover the surface of the pancake, flip. You want both sides golden brown, but flip only once.

Drizzle with organic honey for a protein packed power breakfast that will pack on the mass. You can add sliced fruit or a fruit compote to the top for additional flavor. If you’re hungry for a snack take two hotcakes, slather with peanut butter and fold in half for a portable treat.

The great thing is your options for toppings are virtually limitless, and with the three different flavors of BSN True Mass you can vary how your hotcakes turn out. Create chocolate pancakes with a peanut butter spread for that candy bar craving, or strawberry hotcakes with sliced bananas and honey. Vanilla is the most versatile flavor and can be customized with many types of flavors to create an almost endless variety of treats.

This is a great way to add the protein and calories you need to get huge, lean muscle mass with BSN True Mass.

Xenadrine RFA-X is one of the top selling diet pills on the market. The manufacturers boasts that Xenadrine RFA-X is “the gold standard for all fat burners.” Some of the pros of Xenadrine RFA-Xare that the ingredient list of this little slimming pill include green tea, which has been a supplement renown for centuries to be very beneficial to overall health as well as giving the metabolism a boost. Other ingredients include Tyroplex Seropro (a proprietary cocoa extract standardized for PEA, Yerba Mate, which is hailed world wide for its ability to enhance potency, vitality, clarity and general well-being. Guarana, (a tropical berry) Calcium Tribasic, dl-Methionine, L-Theanine, Ginger Root, which is another substance revered by many cultures for its beneficial properties, and Grape Seed Extract which in laboratory studies has shown to be useful in treating ailments such as heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Both the grape seed extract and the green tea are powerful anti-oxidants that help give your metabolism that extra little boost it may need. Guarana and Yerba Mate are considered stimulants that will help speed up your system and give you an extra dose of energy.

Some of the cons of Xenadrine RFA-X include the fact that it contains no appetite suppressant. The high content of stimulants can cause negative side effects such as being jittery, headaches, and rapid heartbeat. Add to those the rest of the lengthy side effect list which is insomnia, diarrhea, dizziness, vomiting, kidney damage, reduced cirrculation, heart attack and stroke, and you have quite a number of negative reasons to pass this drug by. Another seemingly negative factor about Xenadrine RFA-X is the fact that the company has gotten into trouble for paying people to write fake positive testimonials for the product. It would seem if a product was doing its job that the company would have no need to pay people to concoct stories saying the product works. Also along those lines the television news show 20/20 featured this product, calling Xenadrine RFA-X a scam.

Xenadrine RFA-X seems to have a promising list of ingredients, but a lot of negative publicity and side effects as well. As with any diet supplement the consumer should weigh the health risks and benefits before taking any medication(s).

Eat Healthy, With Protein Bars

Weight loss and fitness diets have a few things in common. They have similar goals – a healthier you – and they also recommend eating several small meals each day with a balance of protein and carbohydrates.

For someone looking to gain mass, eating several small meals will help them get all the calories they need, without trying to eat a large number of calories at one sitting.

For dieters, eating several small meals during the course of the day helps reduce appetite. The basic idea is that eating only three meals (or for some people who skip breakfast, two meals per day) means we go too long between meals, and are “starving” when we do sit down to eat – so we over eat and consume too many calories. By eating 5 smaller meals over the course of the day we are eating more frequently, but because we are not waiting so long between meals we consume a smaller number of calories than normal.

As great as this idea of eating our way to success sounds, most of us have things that get in the way of eating 5 small meals each day. It is hard to think ahead and have enough healthy, pre-made food to pack up and take to work each day. Then when we do take the extra meals to work, it’s hard to take time away from our desks to eat it.

Protein bars are a great solution to this dilemma. They taste good, they’re conveniently pre-packed and travel with you, and they include a nutritious balance of protein and carbohydrates.

Trying to manage weight is extremely difficult; you have to watch the fat and calories you eat, along with making sure you are exercising correctly.

As any body builder would know, it is always a good idea to include a dietary supplement in your everyday routine, in conjuction with your workout, with many items on the market today it is hard to choose something that is really going to work, well now there is a new break through product in weight management it is called Atro-phex, this new dietary supplement that when it is used together with diet and exercise will boost your energy and will help you manage your weight, this product is usually overlooked but shouldn’t be, Atrophex along with giving you the energy you need it also is helping with your over-all physical well being, enhancing your mental focus, gets rid of the excess water you maybe retaining to reveal your muscle definition along with suppressing your appetite.

Atro-phex starts to work immediately and you will start to feel the effects of your whole body working, this product contains organic formulas to help boost your body into shape and help you look and feel your best.

So, if you have been searching for just that right product that does just about everything, then try Atro-phex.

Protein is one of the most essential parts of your strength training because your muscles are made up of protein, and need more to grow and be stronger. But not all protein is created equal.

Whey protein is one of the most common types of protein supplements you will find. Soy protein is another common type. Somewhat less common are protein supplements from egg whites.

The reason whey protein is the most common supplement is because it is the most easily absorbing protein. This results in better muscle strength.

Whey is a milk protein, so anyone with a lactose intolerance will want to take lactose enzymes with the protein drink.

On the other hand, Syntha-6 which is the topic of today, doesn’t contain any Lactose so that answers that doesn’t it?

Looking to lose weight, but don’t like to feel jittery? Caffeine-Free Hydroxycut is for you!

Most weight loss in a bottle products just speed you up. Hydroxycut has features garcinia cambogia, a fruit from India that has hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in the rind. HCA works with your body to help you be less hungry, and the fewer calories you eat, the better you can stick to your healthy eating plan.

But Hydroxycut doesn’t stop with cutting your appetite. How about cutting your cravings for sweets, and helping your body process sugars more efficiently? Gymnema sylvestre is an herb that scientists have been studying for years for its ability to help the body manage insulin. In fact, gymnema sylvestre contains at least nine different natural chemicals (called œgymnemic acids) which have an effect on the bodys blood sugar levels.

And speaking of insulin, did you know chromium is an essential mineral for blood sugar balance? It may help your body naturally use insulin more effectively, which can help you maintain or lose weight!

So, Caffeine-Free Hydroxycut offers all these great things to help you lose weight and appetite suppression, reduced sugar cravings, and better blood sugar balance – without stimulants. Thats not to mention the other great parts of Hydroxycut that can help you lose weight, like caffeine-free antioxidant-containing green, white, and oolong tea extracts.

Add in a daily multivitamin with B-vitamins for optimal health, natural energy, and great-looking skin and nails, and you’re ready armed and ready to lose weight and look great, naturally!

Men’s enhancement supplements are not all created equal. Marketing gimmicks like “Smiling Bob” are fun and everyone can laugh about them, but they do not mean there’s a good product there.  Besides, do you really want to take a product that everyone laughs about when they see the commercials?

A real enhancement product that’s no laughing matter is Magna RX. The ingredients panel actually shows you what’s in this product, and they’re ingredients with a real punch to them.

Some of the ingredients are beneficial to prostate health, like licorice, oat, stinging nettle, and pumpkin seed. Some are for muscle enhancement, growth, and improved blood circulation, like cayenne and L-Arginine. And then there are what I will call the “active ingredients” or “aphrodisiacs.” That’s the Maca, Oriental Ginsing, Oyster, and the Horny Goat Weed.

Yes, that last one was Horny Goat Weed. And it really is what the name implies – the researchers who found this plant noticed that the goats who ate it became really aroused after eating it. And honestly, can you think of a name that describes it better?

But don’t be put off by that one herb name. Magna RX delivers on its promises, and you won’t regret it, and trust me she won’t either.

Body builders may hear a lot about creatine, and how it can improve workouts, but what does it really do for you?

Creatine helps your muscles retain water, which is beneficial in a couple of ways. Retaining water in the muscles not only makes them appear more defined, but it helps you lift heavier weights.

It may seem like retaining water is a bad thing, but the muscles use this water in positive ways. The extra water replenishes your muscles faster. By efficiently using the water contained in it, the muscle is better able to repair itself, and you gain the long-lasting effect of more strength from your workouts.

Creatine comes in several formulas. You may find it in pill form (both chewable and traditional), pure powder, and powder mixed with carbohydrates and flavor. The flavored variety is the most popular choice among athletes, as it is convenient and comes in a variety of fruit flavors, my favorite being Arctic Berry. Just add water and ice if you prefer, and drink.

One of the most popular creatine products is BSN CellMass. It comes in several sizes, and generally the larger size containers offer the best value. In addition to creatine to increase muscle size and increase your strength, CellMass features an amino acid called glutamine that is essential to muscle growth and recovery, plus essential minerals like calcium and potassium, which can help your muscles, recover after strenuous exercise.

One note: The side effect of more water going to your muscles to increase how much you can lift is that you may become slightly dehydrated. The simple answer: drink extra water before, during, and after your exercise!
