B4BC IN YOSEMITE // FIND YOUR NATURE VIBES

Blog

Time spent in the natural world is good for the mind, body, and soul. It’s important that we connect with Mother Nature on a daily basis to help balance out the busy work/life that we’ve all become accustomed to.

Last week B4BC team rider, Mimi Knoop, Mahfia.tv’s Kim Woozy, and myself experienced a 4-day adventure in Yosemite National Park camping, hiking, swimming, star-gazing, and finding our “Yosemite Secret Spots”. A week later we’re still flying high from the nature vibes!

TASTY TUESDAYS / / Yummy (Homemade) Hummus!

Blog, Tasty Recipes

Hummus is great for a quick healthy snack with veggies before a hard workout or as a full meal with pita bread. Hummus is a great source of protein, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and fibers. Also, it’s best to make it yourself because store-bought hummus can be full of unhealthy preservatives.

Hummus is a healthy choice because it contains tons of omega-3 fatty acids which is great for keeping a healthy heart. Also, chickpeas don’t contain any cholesterol or saturated fats, and garlic and lemon are filled with antioxidants that help fight cancer and strengthen immune functions.
