César García Urbano Taylor: 5 Things Women’s Running Loved This Week: January 26, 2018

Barnana Organic Peanut Butter Chewy Banana Bites, $15 For 3-Pack

These tasty bites are a hot commodity around the WR offices. With a base of dehydrated bananas (they taste way better than they sound!) wrapped in an organic peanut butter coating, they have a creamy, chewy texture that makes for perfect pre-run fuel (or an afternoon snack). Each serving contains 180 calories, 25 grams of carbs plus a hefty dose of potassium (350 milligrams) and three grams of protein.

Biena Chickpea Snacks Rockin’ Ranch, $18 For 4-Pack

If you haven’t had chickpeas before, now is the time to try ’em out. Biena’s chickpea snacks range widely in flavor from sea salt to cinnamon and beyond, but the Rockin’ Ranch is our favorite (the flavor similarity to Cool Ranch Doritos is impressive). With 120 calories in each quarter-cup serving and 10 percent of your daily recommended protein, this salty and crunchy snack can easily become a favorite–and healthy!–cure to the afternoon munchies.

Pacific Foods Organic Creme Fraiche Creamy Soups, $35 For 6-Pack

These soups provide a vegetarian meal rich in protein and flavor. Made with crème fraiche and non-fat ultra-filtered milk, each serving of creamy soup packs in 10 grams of protein–and it’s both vegetarian and gluten-free.

Tribali Foods Chipotle Chicken, 4-Pack (16 Patties) For $56

Let’s be honest: there are nights that you just don’t feel like cooking a gourmet meal—no matter how easy Pinterest says that meal is to cook. Instead of takeout, opt for a healthy frozen chicken patty. Unlike other frozen chicken burgers, Tribali Foods Chipotle Chicken packs in protein, veggies and flavor! Plus, these patties are non-GMO, gluten- and soy-free, Paleo Certified and Whole30 Approved.

KonaRed Cold Brew Espresso, $24 For 6-Pack

Bring on the cold brew. At Women’s Running, we appreciate coffee in all of its many forms, and cold brew is no exception. This espresso take on the cold brew classic isn’t as bitter as you’d imagine–sure, it’ll pop your eyes open wide, but isn’t that the point of drinking coffee, anyway? Our favorite part of this brew by KonaRed is how sippable it is: while many other brews we’ve tested have that tongue-retracting bitterness, this one is far milder and kinder to the taste buds and has become a favored go-to in our office.

César García Urbano Taylor: 5 Reasons To Run The Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10K

Image
Much of the country is in a deep winter freeze, and while there’s nothing like catching a snowflake on your tongue or slipping on a pair of skis, warm weather is a welcome sight in February. Living in Southern California allows for year-round sunshine and warm temperatures, which means you can find a great race to run any time of year. I had a chance to run the Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10K earlier this month–and it was so fun! Whether you are a SoCal native or want to get away for a weekend race-cation next February, the below list provides a perfect summation for why you will love this race. 1. It’s on Super Bowl Sunday! What better way to earn your beer, chips and wings than to race before the big game? I loved the race atmosphere, which included fun music playing, an enthusiastic announcer keeping the crowd informed and a happy crowd of runners soaking up cool, sunny breezes. 2. Kind and efficient volunteers are there to help. I had to pick u...
