• 20/20 Lifestyles Launches New Line of Nutritional Products

  By 20/20 Lifestyles 20/20 Lifestyles is excited to announce the debut of the latest additions to its highly popular series of nutritional products. The 20/20 product development team has been working tirelessly to supply great-tasting and nutritionally superior products to enhance your healthy lifestyle. Here are some further details about these four highly anticipated products: The 20/20 Lifestyles Chocolate Mint Protein Bar and Peanut Toffee Crunch Protein Bar are both all-natural, contain heart-healthy fat, and provide 15 grams of high quality protein. The Peanut Toffee Crunch bar is also vegetarian and made with non-genetically modified soy protein. These bars provide the ideal macronutrient profile for your post endurance recovery snack. They also allow for a healthy way to stay satiated in between meals and help to keep your energy level up throughout the day. Two completely original products that are also now available are the 20/20 Lifestyles Ready to Drink Protein Shakes, in both chocolate and vanilla flavors. 20/20 Lifestyles Product Development manager and dietitian, Mary Mach, provides the scientific reason behind how these shakes allow people to keep from over-eating throughout the day. "These new protein shakes are formulated to provide you with a convenient source of high quality protein and offer a delicious way to supplement your daily protein intake. The balance of protein from whey and casein allows for important metabolic functioning to occur. Whey promotes the fast release of amino acids into the blood stream prompting muscle building, while casein actually causes a slower and sustained release of amino acids into the blood stream to prevent muscle breakdown. " Each shake contains 20 grams of high quality protein, 140 calories, and 24 vitamins and minerals. In addition, they are low in cholesterol and sugar-free. In addition to the nutritional benefits of these drinks, they serve as an excellent in-between meal option. The high protein content alone provides a feeling of satiety which will prevent overeating and unnecessary snacking throughout the day. For the frequent traveler, this means that you will no longer need to lug your blender and shake packets along with you on your trips. There is no mixing, blending, or stirring required. These low cholesterol, sugar-free shakes will nicely fit into your carry-on. These new products are available for purchase in both the Bellevue and Seattle PRO Sports Club locations.  They are also now available at the new Resource Center at the Bellevue location. The Resource Center hours are: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 8am to 4pm Tuesday and Thursday: 6am to 4pm Pricing: $2.25 / Single Protein Bar or Ready to Drink Protein Shake $23.95 / Box of 12 Protein Bars or a Box of 12 Ready to Drink Protein Shakes   Posted Mar 04 2008, 11:41 AM by 20/20 Lifestyles Filed under: RTD Shakes, Alumni Resource Center, Protein Bars
