SIS Rego vanilla flavour, or just plain old milk, sometimes hot like when I was a child.

Throw Yoplait Whips yogurt in the freezer and enjoy "ice cream" without the guilt. There's chocolate, orange cream, and key lime. I overheard this little secret at the grocery store and had to share =)

If you own a masticating juicer, then you can make instant "ice-cream' simply by processing some frozen fruit (fresh fruit you've frozen yourself, or shop bought frozen) through your juicer and it will turn out as an iced fruit sorbet or icecream with no ad...

So I've found recently that Quest bars are pretty solids. Less ingredients, lots of whey protein and tons of fiber (actually almost too much to some critics). When I travel, I get overwhelmed and stick with a banana and nuts snack...but I need the protein t...

Tend to agree with Big Swede and Ron W - anything that looks like a sugary boost bar can't possibly be as healthy as a banana and a handful of nuts. Have even tried making 'healthy bars' at home but at the end of they day they nearly always contain sugar a...

Can anybody recommend a low fat cheese that melts properly. I have no issues with the taste of low fat cheese but it doesn't melt the same (I'm guessing because of the reduced fat). Just wondered if there was one gem of a cheese out there that melted nice...

I use weight watchers tortilla wraps as bases but put them on non stick paper or similar as they can stick to baking trays quite easily. I use fresh passata as a base then top with loads of veggies and herbs.

I don't know if this specifically relates to running (it does in my case) but after a long run (usually anything above 10K), for round 10 minutes after I finish, I can smell a bleach/chlorine smell. I don't think it's coming out of me, rather more an inter...

I just don't understand how companies can get away with selling drinks that are that bad for you, not to mention these are for kids! Apparently this drink has even made it into the category of "one of your five-a-day. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/arti...

If you're going to take your child to McDonalds, I think you need to accept the fact it's not going to be a healthy meal. Given the recent horse meat scandal, does it really surpirse anyone that their 'healthy' drink is not all it seems....?

Sodium is so high in everthing anymore. And then you have everyone cover it with more salt when they serve it.

I'm interested to know what do people think is the best approach for ensuring adequate hydration before a long run. How much fluid in advance of the run, how often, and how far in advance of the run?
