June 23rd, The ever fabulous Dawn McCoy hosted an amazing group of women, myself included, at Estrella in West Hollywood to learn about USANA MySmart Foods Line. MySmart Foods is a new, low-glycemic load and gluten-free line of protein shakes and bars.

There was a full fruit, veggie, nut and seed bar that we were able to make our own shake concoctions with. First you chose the fruit/veggie/nut/seeds, then you added in whey or plant based protein powder (plant based for me-USANA’s is pea and potato protein), add in your milk choice and then top it off with a flavor optimizer (Dark Chocolate, Cappuccino, Peach Mango, Banana, Orange Cream) or you can stick with the vanilla base that comes with the protein powder. What I loved was there was no sugary  or stevia taste to the shake.

I am a shake lover, so I loved what I made plus it kept me from eating snacks. My blend was Yvette Masterson of Y Communications & Consulting’s Fave:

  • Pomegranetes
  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Raspberries
  • Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries
  • Plant Protein
  • Dark Chocolate Flavor Optimizer
  • Coconut and Almond Milk

We had a beautiful 3 course brunch with some of my favorite girlfriends, Rachel Pitzel (@xo.rachelpitzel), Erin Ziering (@erinziering), Carly Anderson (@lipglossandcrayons), Ari Afsar (@ariannaafsar), Kristin Cruz (@kristincruz) and SO many more!
