This week’s featured sponsor is Lorissa’s Kitchen, one of my very favorite high-protein snacks.
Here’s a little bit about Lorissa’s Kitchen:
-They’re protein-rich and responsibly sourced meat snacks. The chicken cuts and steak strips are my favorite, and the Pilot loves the pork cuts. Something that sets Lorissa’s Kitchen apart from similar products is the texture! It has a higher moisture content, which gets them a soft bite. This is something that I love because similar options are often too dry and chewy for my preference. They also tend to be overly salty. Lorissa’s Kitchen meat snacks are perfectly-spiced and have a pleasing soft texture. (Still chewy, but not going to break your jaw haha.)
They have so many awesome flavors: Korean Barbecue Steak Strips, Sweet Chili Pork Cuts and Szechuan Peppercorn Beef Steak Strips. My favorite flavor is the Ginger Chicken Teriyaki Cuts.
Why I LOVE their snacks:
–Lorissa created these snacks because she wanted something healthy and portable to feed herself and her family, without sacrificing the quality ingredients that are important to her. This is something I relate to SO MUCH, because it can be tricky to pack up healthy snacks to take with us that are high in nutrients. We do a lot of fresh fruit, bars, and yogurts, but for something high in protein that doesn’t have to be refrigerated, these are perfect. I have a bag or Lorissa’s Kitchen in my gym bag at all times, and love them for travel and road trip snacks. I had a pack in my backpack when we were at Disney, and could snack on some of these knowing that I’d get a protein boost and they’d help keep me satisfied until our next meal.
-They use great ingredients. The meat isn’t treated with antibiotics, and you can pronounce everything on the package. They use 100% grassfed beef, and there are no freaky fillers, additives, MSG, gluten or added nitrites. Just sustainably-sourced meat + seasonings.
-They’re easy to find! I’ve been able to find Lorissa’s Kitchen at Target and Publix, and they also carry their products at Kroger, Walgreens and Amazon.
And now, it’s giveaway time!
1 lucky winner will receive a mix of 15 packs of Lorissa’s Kitchen products! Since I’m shipping it out, you know I’ll throw in some extra goodies for the winner, too. 😉

Just did a rise and grind Sunday spin class!!
I just did an abs and arm circuit workout and ran 5 miles!
Quick question. In the past, I walked 2 to 4 miles everyday. My toddler is now a mewling monster when I put her in the stroller. What workouts are good to replace my walk… not super sweaty, although a burn is fine, and not hard on knees or ankles. Thanks!!
