Big Mouth Blogging goes fishing with My Fit Foods

Yesterday evening I decided to go fishing. In my refrigerator that is.... I pulled out the next selection in what I picked up from My Fit Foods in Tulsa. Even though it was classified as a lunch the Blackened Tilapia  made for actually a perfect dinner for myself. I offered some to the hubby, but due to his high sensitivity to spice,  he deemed it all mine.
This tilapia was some of the best I have had in a long while. Perfectly seasoned fish made a great protein selection, along with the compliment of fresh, crisp green beans and quinoa. A little squeeze of fresh lemon brought the dish together quite nicely and rounded it out successfully, along with the herb in the quinoa. ( I did not even miss the tartar sauce with this dish, and herbs added a brightness. The brightness of flavor of the dish paired well with some 1/2 cup portions of mango and pineapple bits.Please forgive the dirty microwave,the "maid" has not come yet.)

 

For a quick and simple lunch turned dinner, I can high recommend this dish to all the fish, herb and veggie lovers out there. You will really enjoy this dish, and for the tartar sauce lovers, as mentioned before you will not miss the tartar sauce at all with the fresh lemon. The quinoa added a nice little pop of  color and the green beans had a great crunch to them as well.

 

Stay tuned for the next post, will the hubby try it or not

Big Mouth Blogging tries My Fit Foods!

I had the chance to travel to Tulsa this past Thursday for a unique experience.  A representative from a PR Firm contacted me, because she thought I would be a good fit. Well, I accepted the assignment and went out to the Vineyards location for My Fit Foods and met with General Manager/ Nutrition Coach Kimberly Banfield.

Upon my arrival at the location I was promptly greeted by an employee at the front desk and given a profile to fill out. I was told to ask for Kimberly so I did and once she came out and it was established I was there for an interview for a story, and not to fill a profile out ( not to say I might not later, if it could be emailed to me it would be great, then I could fill it out and return it.)
Kimberly gave me a small tour of the shop, and explained it was a combination of shopping and dining experiences. Which really is neat, and needed in this age of Go-Go-Go . 

 

Kimberly was gracious enough to share a bit about the history of the company and the services offered in store. The following came from an email I received from her, after I sent a couple of questions to her the night before:

 

My Fit Foods started in Houston out of an apartment kitchen by a personal trainer who knew that nutrition was 80% of achieving a healthy weight and lifestyle.  We realized that there was a huge demand for convenient, healthy food and We have been striving to meet this demand since 2006.! Our corporate offices have since moved to Austin and we have our commissary kitchen in Dallas which cooks our meals fresh daily and delivers them to the Texas and Oklahoma markets every morning.  Our food is fresh never frozen to secure the nutritional value.  No added preservatives, GMOS and Gluten Free!  All My Fit Foods locations in 5 states with over 50 locations have on staff Nutrition Coaches.  These Nutrition Coaches create customized meal plans to meet any type of schedule or lifestyle.  The consultation and counseling services are FREE and take about 15-30 minutes.  Our 21 Day Challenge is designed to introduce healthy eating for a lifetime with 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.  Once our nutritionist determines the health goals, they design a customized meal plan.  The client then only has to come to the store twice a week to pick up their meals so they are fresh.  Our nutrition coaches stay in touch with their clients throughout their challenge to monitor and for support.  My Fit Foods also offers a full line of supplements.  Our My Fit Cocktail is our health, energy and vitality drink.  It is a mixture of 100% Cranberry Juice, Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, B12 and Fresh Lemons.  This drink kicks off your morning with a punch of natural energy.  Our Vitamins are Gender specific, Venus Pack for women and the Man Pack.  Our supplements are of the highest research level in ingredients.  Each Pack is a 30 day supply taken twice a day and contains a Multi Vitamin, Antioxidants, Fish Oil, Milk Thistle and a gender specific boost for hormones for women and prostate health for men.  The Lean Pack is also a 30 day supply and can help with weight loss.  It contains CLA, Green Tea Extract and Carraluma Fimbriata a natural appetite suppressant.  We also have 2 choices in Protein drinks; Whey or Plant and both come in Chocolate and Vanilla.  We also have Probiotics for digestive health, Fit Flex for joint and skin health and Fit Focus for brain and memory.  We have 2 locations in Tulsa.  One on Cherry street and the Vineyards on 106^th and Memorial.  We are open 7 days a week.  We have a fabulous interactive website:  www.myfitfoods.com.  Customers can place web orders through this site.   We also have a corporate wellness program for area companies.  My Fit Foods is very community interactive!  We strive to attend health fairs, runs, races, events to introduce our exciting, convenient, delicious meals to our friends and neighbors!

 

After the conversation was complete, and I had a chance to view the allergen list, Kimberly helped me to select my purchases to try at home. I think we came up with some great selections. Over the next few days, I will be trying them , and sharing my experience through this blog.

 

I also hope to be able to take part in the nutritional advisement at some point, maybe see about formulating a plan to get my diet kick started for success, and possible on the way to helping with my weight loss efforts.

 

 

The first of my selections was tried on Friday 8-28-15. I chose the snack  of the Chicken Fruit Bowl.

For my first selection, I was impressed with the flavor of the chicken breast, and the seasoning . The fruit was very refreshing as well, a little grapefruit, orange, apples, and grapes. The portion was the perfect for a snuch(snack/lunch). I can high recommend this dish for purchase. I was hoping to get the hubby to try it, but it was a no go.(He doesn't know what he is missing out on with this, it was yummy!) The bonus to this is that this also show you the calories in each dish, so if you track the calories, in and out, you know up front.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned to see what selection will be next, and will the hubby try it?

This is what everyone says about me, so I decided last year to put my mouth to work for me!

 

 

This is my promise to you. I never forget about anything, I schedule them
according to how they are received, and if there is a deadline attached to them.
Something may come in one month, but may not get done till later down the road,
or be done sporadically, depending on how many are scheduled in one day to begin.
But I promise all obligations will be met.

 

 

 

Here is the flier I have put together to reach people with. I tried to be the
most simple in wording to get the point across, the fastest way possible.

 

 

For local businesses in the Tahlequah,OK and surrounding area, this special is for you.

 

 

This is the local pricing I have put in place for local clients
for one month of service, three months of service
six months of service, and one year of service.
Yes the rates can be negotiated to fit the budget
of the business if needed. The client must state it needs to be
upfront negotiated. 

 

 

If you are an author or publisher that would like me to review
any of your titles, this pricing list is for you, and will be
strictly adhered to.  

 

 

If you are a beverage vendor, this is the pricing you will adhere to
with no negotiated rates.

 

 

This pricing is for more of the DS (Direct Sales)
Community, that would like help in getting the
word out. It is based on the increment of 7 days
at $2 a day that covers my time to get the product
scheduled and blogged about, if the 7 day format is
what you are looking for.

 

This pricing is for more of the DS (Direct Sales)

Big Mouth Blogging will welcome you with open arms in 2015 ,as we grow our family!

I know it is January 2, 2015.....

And I said my first post would be January 1,2015. But it was a holiday.

I wanted to welcome you to Big Mouth Blogging.

Big Mouth Blogging is my blogging service that wants to help large national businesses,small mom and pop businesses,and the DS Community get the word out about themselves, their products, and the company they represent or own.

When people choose to work with me, they purchase my attention to them, their products, and company the represent or own etc...

Before anyone ask is my business on the up and up, yes it is. I filed all the necessary paperwork(trade name report) with the  Oklahoma Secretary of State's office in September 2014. I also consulted the Oklahoma Tax Commission and since I am a service, and sole proprietor  of said service, I do not have to file anything with them unless I hire a/ or some employee(s).

So I am up, running and looking for my first paid client to kick of my 2015 and my blog. For the first person, I am willing to cut you a deal, to get this rolling. Contact me to talk.

I look forward to building the Big Mouth Blogging family with your support.
