OKAY: Be completely honest with me… Who here has binge-watched on The Food Network channel?

Hopefully you didn’t also binge on Guy Fieri’s “Cin-ful Peach Cobbler” while parked on your couch…

UnwrappedThe Next Food Network Star… I could ditch Ryan Gosling for these shows…………….?

There is one show in particular that I have always been quite fond of… Mostly because of the hysterical and intense facial expressions within the first five minutes.

Common, you have to admit the CHAIRMAN is RIDICULOUS. He’s like a cartoon character from Aladdin!

Well, Whitney and I took a page from this show’s format and decide to have a battle of our own, for our latest Fit & Funny Foodies live cook-a-long

I specifically took a page from the chairman’s “book” and made some rather peculiar facial expressions myself…

The THEME for our Fit & Funny Foodies battle: Smoothies…

And the secret ingredient…

On Iron Chef America there are judges that make the final decision as to WHO WINS the challenge… 

TODAY: YOU ARE THE JUDGE! So please, make these as soon as possible and let us know… Are you Team PUMPED UP PUMPKIN or Team DECADENCE?

GiGi and Whitney Cheers with Manitoba Harvest SmoothiesFacts about Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro 70:

  • HempPro 70 is an easy digestible, plant based protein
  • HempPro 70 is water soluble (the only water soluble hemp protein on the market) – its a smooth, creamy texture and easy to mix into your favorite beverage for nutrition on the go (of course we love it in a fruit smoothie too)
  • HempPro 70 is now available in Vanilla and Chocolate (as well as the original flavor)
  • The vanilla and chocolate flavor are sweetened with organic coconut sugar (low on the glycemic index) and the vanilla has 15 grams of protein per 30 gram serving and the chocolate has 14 grams per 30 gram serving.

SO TELL ME…

  • Are you team PUMPED UP PUMPKIN or CHOCOLATE DECADENCE
  • Do you crave pumpkin pie year round?
  • Have you ever used hemp protein before?
  • Would you give up a date with Ryan Gosling (or the female equivalent) to binge-watch The Food Network Channel?
  • What’s your favorite Food Network show?
  • Do you think The Chairman on Iron Chef America should let me fill in one day since my facial expressions are pretty on point?
