Join MINT Ambassadors for a Pre-Turkey Trot, November 19

by

MINT Ambassadors, Ashley & Kim, are planning a fun pre-Thanksgiving gathering… and they want to see you there!

Join the Ambassador Team for a FREE Turkey Trot “fun run” this Saturday morning at 9am! MINT Ambassador Kim Gillies will lead the charge for a ~3mile run that is such to get you tuned up for Turkey Time! Not into running? Join MINT Ambassador Ashley Binetti for a class at MINT during this time. There are a bunch of 9am classes (Power Playground, MINTride and MINTbarre) to choose from! You can find all of these classes (and the run) on the MINT class schedule.

And the fun doesn’t stop there! After the run/class, Kim and Ashley will lead the crew to Southern Hospitality (right on 18th Street in Adams Morgan!) for 15% off their bottomless mimosas (we’re talking like $13.50 for all-you-can-drink mimosas, people!) and 15% off food, too! It’s important that you RSVP here so we can get an accurate headcount for the restaurant.

Please note: The run is completely FREE and you do not need to be a MINT member to partake. If you’re interested in the barre, spin, or Power Playground classes, you must be a member or get a free 5-day trial pass in order to sign up! The brunch is also open to all. Everyone has to pay for their own drinks and food, but we’ve secured an awesome deal!

RSVP and invite your pals here!

5 Best Post-Workout Snacks

by

If there’s one thing we love more than a good workout, it’s a good post-workout snack! Lucky for you… Glen’s Garden Market (locations in the Dupont Circle and Shaw neighborhoods) has you covered when it comes to tasty, healthy and easy post-workout goodies!

Check out some of our favorites next time you’re craving healthy and simple snacks after your MINT sweat session.

Chickpeatos

What they are: roasted chickpeas

Why we love them: They’re a protein-rich alternative to potato chips and the first products that Glen’s launched. They come in large and small snack packs, in the following flavors: cayenne rosemary, cinnamon toast, tomato basil. They also sell gluten-free crumbs made from chickpeas as a breadcrumb alternative – perfect for the holidays.

GoChews

What they are: organic snack bites

Why we love them: Started as “momme meals” by a woman wanting to cook healthy food for her pregnant friend. She realized that everyone wants healthy snacks and decided to make these with new-moms and athletes in mind. They come in bites, not bars, for portion control, in the following flavors: Turkish apricot, tart cherry, fig ginger sesame.

Truly You

What they are: kale chips

Why we love them: A light snack, both flavorful and crunchy. These are new and just launched 1 month ago! Healthy potato chip alternative. Flavors include Creamy Onion and Spicy Chipotle.

BrightGreens

What they are: smoothie cubes

Why we love them: You can just put them in hot water and shake them up or put them in a smoothie. They’re nutrient dense and flavor filled. Many delicious flavor combinations including Mintergreen, Bright Blueberry and Pineapple.

Fruit Cycle

What they are: apple chips & nut mixes

Why we love them: Fruit Cycle gives produce and women a second chance. They use gleaned products (fruit that would otherwise go to waste) and employ formerly incarcerated women.
