Katia Lin, winner of my Rainbow Light Protein Energizer Giveaway, just wrote in to share her latest smoothie recipe. Check it out!

Hi Mizzfit

Just finished my workout and off to class with my chocolate-PB-and-nana shake!

The recipe is:
1 cup of skim milk
1 scoop of Rainbow Light chocolate protein energizer
1 frozen banana
1 Tbsp peanut butter

I'm addicted to peanut butter and what's better than having my peanut butter AND some chocolate? The answer is nothing. The Rainbow Light Protein Energizer is great because it has all the chocolatey loveliness without any added sugars. I'm feeling energized and ready to take on the school day. Thanks!  --Katia Lin

Delish! I'd make the same recipe except with Almond Milk! I'm excited to share that Rainbow Light's Protein Energizer will be included in my next Style Up 2 Shape Up box with Quarterly Co.! If you haven't already signed up, jump on board RIGHT HERE! Wanna know more about my Style Up...

Christmas is only a week away. Got your gifts? I do!  When it comes to gifting my fitness soul sistas, the only way to shop is fashionably fit & healthy.

Stocking Stuffer Workout Socks from MySoxyFeet. In my last Mizzfit post, I talked about how fitness socks are trending and will become even bigger in 2014. If you're looking for a cute stocking stuffer, MySoxyFeet's 2 winter holiday styles ($12) are a sure bet. Any fitness girl will love them and the cheer they bring to her workout routine. Aside from being anklets, they've got cushioned soles and they're intentionally made to look mismatched. Buy a pair to gift (use checkout code MIZZFIT to get 10% off) and enter my...

Mizzfit.com Got A Makeover! Didja notice? I hope so because I'm quite liking my new web design, branding and inter-"face". Through the years (5!), I've grown up and so has Mizzfit.com. It was time to expose our tree rings with an upgrade. I still can't believe I designed the old site all by myself because this new site was the result of many minds coming together. I'm so grateful for all the help from my team and from YOU--my readers! It was a blast getting to see many of your faces at my Big Relaunch Party in NYC (click for pics). Such a fun night! I was naughty and had a few drinks. "When in Relaunch..."

Mizz is Back to Biz! Now that the new site is up and running, it's back to business as usual...and lots of working out, of course. I'm excited to tell you about 2 activewear pieces that gave my fitness wardrobe a functional makeover. They're perfect for lunging you into the New Year (right through the doors of your gym). Everyone needs a little push on Jan 1st and...

That's because I'm going to tell you. I'm thrilled to announce that my Style Up 2 Shape Up subscription-style boxes with Quarterly Co are officially in the works and getting ready to be mailed out. Wanna know what's in it for YOU? And how to GET ONE? Keep reading!

I HAVE A BOX!

It's always been my dream since I first created MizzFIT to give you a TANGIBLE "fitness fashion" experience beyond the words on this blog. I'm still not at the point yet in my career, though, to launch a product line, but I hope to in the very near "prosperous" future. When Quarterly Co. (like angels from heaven) called me up to team up, they totally solved this dilemma for me and I was like HELLS YEAAAAAAH! Because this was my opportunity to give you what I've been dreaming of putting together for so long! So, many thanks to Quarterly and my buddy Aron over there, for believing in me and the concept of Fitness Fashion & Trends enough to give me MY OWN BOX! CHECK OUT THE BOX RIGHT...

Getting motivated to take a risk or try something new isn't always easy. An inspirational mantra or quote can zap your nervous nelly mindset and improve your confidence. Fitness fashion always seals the deal for me, too! Who doesn't like to shop or try out a new style? It's the little things like this that can alter your state of fear or insecurity. I should know because I suffer from anxiety. I have attacks that drop me to the floor breathless.

My story: I get anxiety attacks though you'd never guess it

I'm an outgoing and gregarious person. I'm not easily intimidated and no one who knows me would ever call me quiet or shy. But we all have certain traits and behaviors that sometimes turn us into a walking oxymoron. Mine happens to be physical anxiety that's unleashed during times of major stress. I can feel the anxiety attack coming on and I usually know how much time I have before I go into full panic mode. These attacks don't happen often, thank God, but they do happen...
