Why I love MYNT products!



Alright I've been so excited to post about this.  I get asked a lot what products I use and recommend for nutrition and up until a few months a go I haven't really been able to give a solid answer.  But knowing what I know about fitness nutrition and weight management I knew what I wanted... Something with around 15-20g of quality protein (Casein to keep me full longer, and Whey to help with quick muscle recovery), no artificial crap, low carbs/sugar to manage blood sugar levels, and delicious taste and texture.  Sounds like a tough bill to fit but I found this all with Mynt Core Protein, plus some extra bonus qualities like being able to customize it to fit my goals.  With Mynt products you can choose between four boosts: a Cleanse to clean out your system for a fresh start, a Pro-biotic for gut and digestion health, a Thermogenic to help you burn fat, and a Build to help with lean muscle building.  I have seen changes in my body with using these products for only 2 months.  I'm leaner and more toned, and I'm not wanting to snack all day!  



Another awesome part of these products is theres a super easy to follow 8 week program that people are getting AMAZING results from.  I have heard so many awesome success stories with clients and other people doing the program, and its so inspiring and motivating.  The products and program were designed by nutritional expert Mark McDonald who has written multiple New York time best selling nutrition books.  


I don't usually speak up about a product unless I'm totally excited and can stand behind it with my stamp of approval, and these products definitely pass that test.  

Heres a link to my personal website where you can purchase the products and its super easy! getfitwithbritm.gomynt.com and it will also be available from my main website.  Easy to order, and autoship is available!

I will be posting lots of yummy recipes that utilize the Core Protein so you'll want to have your supply!  Here's one to get you started:
