Fuel Your Adventures

What are summers for? Adventures. Beach-bumming, camping, road trips, cookouts, picnics, backpacking, and so on. Are you getting excited yet? I am. Tastes of grilled cheeses, s’mores, sangria, burgers, and ice cream. Now, you must be getting excited. Summer adventures are the best: the remaining shades of sunburn on your skin tingling as the sun dips down into nightfall where family and friends galore get together for some grub. Everyone has their own summer dream and that’s what’s fun about it: with everyone’s differing ideas, you get to experience a little of everything.

We have all these adventures like surfing and hiking, but what’s going to fuel them? What’s going to keep you going through the day in the ocean or on that road trip up north? We’ve tried many different snacks for on-the-road adventures or outside fun in the sun–from trail mix to protein bars to fruit. Nothing has really kept us satisfied for those adventures–the fuel runs out too quickly. 

Lately, we’ve been on a Yulu fix. You might be thinking, what the heck is Yulu? Let me take you to a world: a world of creamy, smooth luxuriousness of honest ingredients that leave you smiling–eyes closed–after each bite. I may be a Kiwi, but I do love Australian-style yogurt. With that extra creamy goodness, you find yourself absolutely savoring the double-smoothed yogurt. This has been our new fuel for our summer adventures so far.

Our latest adventure was a road trip up north. The purpose of which was actually to look at a wedding venue: a beautiful ranch up in Ventura County. So, after leaving Noke with my parents to have a playdate with their puppy, we packed the cooler with Yulu yogurt and headed up the 405. Wind in our hair and hills to roll over, it was smooth sailing. Once you get into the valley, it is some constant sunshine. Walking through the ranch was beautiful, but it was tiring and it was hot. Getting back to the car, we were thirsty, but, more importantly, we were hungry for something cold and nourishing.

We broke open the cooler, and popped out our Yulusraspberry flavor. With 9g of protein, it was a lovely, creamy cup of goodness to cool us down and to fill our bellies. It gave us enough nourishment to get us home without being hangry. And if anyone knows me, hangry is not a pretty look. So we ask you to just try it. I promise your whole view of yogurt will change. A great first step is to sign up for the Yulu newsletter–an easy way to get coupons and giveaways! Watch out for this Aussie-style yogurt hitting your grocery stores and make sure to use it for all your amazing, upcoming summer adventures. Eat Yulu to stay hungry and fit!

    Our big adventure this summer is a trip to Santiago, Chile!! I’ll have to let you know if we discover any hearty, healthy food from their culture. 🙂
