Founded by mom of six, Alex Robertson, Savorygains blends culinary skills and knowledge with fitness.
It's a recipe book filled with high-protein recipes for a lifestyle that's sustainable and it got started almost by accident.
Alex's friend and fitness cheerleader, Amy Williams, who is also a mom of six, was injured.
"I made dinner for her and her family. We didn't know each other very well at the time. Afterward, she asked if I was a chef because she loved the meal. From that point on, she kept saying, 'People need food like this.' Her exact words were: 'People need this'. That's when she started collaborating with me," says Alex.
Together, Alex and Amy say you shouldn't have to choose between fuel or flavor, you can have both.
In Savorygains you'll find things like chipotle dressing, green peppercorn parmesan dressing, queso cheese sauce, spinach emulsion and fire-roasted red pepper sauce that Alex put her own spin on to make high-protein.
Even her ranch dressing is high-protein with almost zero fat.
Alex even cracked the code on high-protein cookie dough, and she's sharing the recipe with us!
