Click: Coffee Lovers Protein Drink Review & Giveaway

Bodybuilding is much like any other sport.

To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.

About:

Greg and Beth Smith first owned a small chain of women’s fitness centers in California. They were seeking a delicious, healthy beverage for their members in response to the growing wall of sugar based energy and coffee-house drinks on the market. Their simple solution – a delicious, all-in-one, espresso coffee and protein drink – that makes you feel that you are doing something good for yourself one cup at a time.

“The innovative idea of combining espresso and protein into a gourmet tasting healthy energy drink just CLICKed one day,” says Greg Smith, Founder of CLICKco LLC. “At our fitness center, we were educating our members on the weight management and health value of protein but what they were still craving was their gourmet coffee or energy drink. The idea behind CLICK was to provide the indulgence and energy consumers crave in a beverage that not only tastes good but is good for you.”

CLICKco LLC located in Clovis, CA strives to be an ethical company providing premium all-in-one beverages to enhance those seeking healthier lifestyles.

Thoughts from Carli:

Click sent me their protein/coffee drink. I don’t like protein drinks and don’t drink them but Click is an expresso drink + a protein drink in one. I’d call it a propresso. I didn't think I’d like it and even when I was drinking it I kept wondering if I liked it. I drank a whole shake before I knew it so I guess the answer is yes. Now the test is to find out if protein drinks + clean diet + weight training really gives me the muscle gains that everyone talks about. Now that I have a protein drink I’ll actually drink I guess we’ll find out.

But here’s another important piece to this. When Click sent me the mix they also sent me this:

An official Blender Bottle. I’ve finally arrived in the fitess world!

On day two of trying the Click I got up and ate some crock pot oatmeal. I had a Click coffee/protein drink with it because when I drink it in the afternoon, I'm so wired I can barely sleep since it has a double shot of espresso.

I opened up the big container since I had taken both of the samples (one Vanilla Latte and one Mocha. Both are good but the I prefer the Mocha). When I opened up the canister it seemed half full due to all the settling. Is that normal for protein powders? It says it will make 14 shakes and it seems to be working out so I guess it is.

I made myself a Click. Which really is yummy. It looks like poo though. Would you drink something that looks like poo? I do because it's awesome!!!

It really gives you the boost you need because in one hour I got ready for work (including straightening my naturally curly hair), put pork chops in the croc pot with homemade bbq sauce that I whipped up (hubs’ favorite), made my salad for work, and got dressed in an outfit that resulted in so many compliments I wondered how I looked before.

This is the first protein drink that has Clicked for me and I plan on keeping it in my training program! Join me!

Why I'm Deleting My Pinterest Board

2012-03-07T19:00:00.001-06:00

I read a post by an attorney here that makes total sense. So I'm no longer using Pinterest and am deleting my boards. Due to the fact that I know that it's illegal to "steal" or "borrow" pics. And Pinterest states that if there is any legal issues that I (or YOU) will have to pay for an attorney to represent both you and Pinterest I'm just thinking it's not worth the risk. Why this didn't occur to me when I have dealt with this on marketing ads is just beyond me. The company I worked for was even threatened with a lawsuit and they had to pay thousands of dollars to get out of it. If you think "Well, that was for a company" let me mention that this was a small family owned company -- not a big corporation.

Do I think it's likely to happen. No, not really. But being the only wage earner in my house with a seriously ill husband, I'm just not willing to take the risk.

Don't think one person (who's not only a blogger but an attorney) is enough to go on then you can also read the following:

How Brands Can Use Pinterest Without Breaking the Law

Even the cofounder of Pinterest admits that he doesn't understand all the ins and out of the law.

You can even add html to your website to keep people from pinning.

I might put my boards back up and then only pin things that have a pin button on the post or website. To me that is a clear indication it is okay to use that pic. However, at this time I'm not sure what had this and what didn't so I took it all down.
