Cliff Kid Z Bar

I have been seeing a lot of bloggers talking about the cliff kid Z bar so I had to try one! I usually eat Pria bars and have been pretty satisfied with their flavor and low calorie count. However, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go back to pria after trying cliff kid z bars! I had the Chocolate Brownie flavor and it was delicious! For 120 calories I think they are the perfect pre or post workout snack or even breakfast! I ordered a whole box of the chocolate chip and can't wait for them to get here!!

Ambrosia

Hooray for Thursday! Only two more work days this week! I taught Turbo last night. Class went well but I am very excited to launch Turbo Sport next week! I think the class will welcome a dance-less Turbo Kick. Tonight I have to tape my Body Step for review! I will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

I remember the first time I had ambrosia when I was little- I was over my grandmothers and she gave me a little dish of the mix. I looked down and thought it looked awful and told her I probably wouldn't eat it. She told me to just give it a little try. Now my grandmother and I have the same sweet tooth so she knew I was going to absolutely love it! As I've grown up, my sweet tooth has decreased.....a little, but I still love Ambrosia. I found this somewhat healthier Ambrosia recipe and hope you like it:
