“Lactic acid” vs “Lactose” on the list of 56 sugar names - also something to avoid?
-
annefood No, you don’t need to avoid lactic acid in the Avoid Added Sugar Challenge. It’s used in fermentation (yogurt, pickled veggies, sourdough...) and as a preservative or flavoring agent.

Protein smoothie
Great recovery for my 4 mile run in the 90 degree heat!!
-
annefood Glad you found something without added sugar! The one thing to be aware of with Naked (the protein smoothie included) is that they’re primarily fruit juice (mainly apple) and thus have a very high...

ElanaG Definitely agree. I’m out of town for work, so I used this drink to recover after a 4 mile run in Denver altitude and 90 degrees 😄 usually I would have made my own!

annefood Good thinking on the go!
There’s a first for everything.
