I’m intrigued with the “muffin in a cup” quickie concoctions. A quick Google search shows over 40 million hits, so I’m not the only one who has some interest… right?

Upgraded pancakes (Kodiak base)

The Nutrition Mechanic increased the OF (“oomph factor”) for this boxed pancake mix and delight ensued: an improved carb to protein ratio and not having to ride the blood sugar roller coaster. Bonus points for tasting so good!

“Dina’s knowledge, thoroughness, passion, and compassion were instrumental not only in helping me uncover where my daily/pre/post-workout nutrition was lacking, but also in coming up with ways that were specific to me and my lifestyle to help me prioritize and plan my day to fuel properly and feel my best whether on or off the trails/mountains.”
