5 years ago I started this blog The World According to Eggface for my friends and family to follow the amazing life changing journey I was embarking on. 
Oh and there might be a 40th birthday this month (June 28th) too. Eeek. I'm trying to forget that one ;)
In honor of these BIG events in my world I'll be giving away 5 super cool prizes throughout the month as my way of saying THANK YOU for taking this incredible journey with me.
Prize 3: a Koko Insulated Lunch Bag, a Yellow 20 oz. Blender Bottle Shaker and some of my favorite Protein Bars.
I just bought one of these Koko Insulated Lunch Bags and I love it. I needed something in the car to keep my water bottles cold and for times when the protein snacks I'm bringing along on my travels and adventures are larger than what my super groovy bentos can hold. This has been great. It's got that shiny, aluminum-ish insulated lining that keeps things cold for a long time. It's wipeable. I keep it in my trunk and have even used it to keep cold foods (cheeses, yogurt, etc.) cold on return trips from the supermarket. My blender bottle shaker goes with me on every post weight loss surgery travel trip. I make up a few snack sized baggies of protein powder and store them right inside the shaker. I place the shaker in my carry-on bag, when I'm on the plane I just ask for a bottle of water or milk, empty one of the pre-portioned baggies and shake shake shake. On road trips I always know I will have a great protein source in case good choices are scarce.
and these are some of my favorite protein bars...
Supreme Protein Peanut Butter & Jelly
Supreme Protein Caramel Nut Chocolate
ISS Oh Yeah! Protein Wafer Chocolate Chocolate
ISS Oh Yeah! Protein Wafer Chocolate Peanut Butter
Power Crunch Cookies & Creme
Supreme Protein Peanut Butter Crunch
Oh Yeah! Peanut Butter & Caramel
ISS Oh Yeah! Protein Wafer Chocolate Mint
Power Crunch Peanut Butter Creme
ISS Oh Yeah! Protein Wafer Peanut Butter Cup
I always toss a few in my carry-on bag so when I get to my destination I am not stuck choosing from the crap-filled room service menus.
