Inside the

bakery

To Stephen Charles Lincoln, CEO of The Protein Bakery, the se cret to happiness is balance. As a fitness instructor and former pro gram dire ctor, Lincoln learne d from hands on exp erience that balance impacts p erformance and health. To Lincoln, the key to a prop er balance d life is diet. With this concept in mind and a passion for baking, The Protein Bakery was b orn. Lincoln has found that it's one way to ke ep the heart b eat steady and the b o dy in balance. Every bite of these amazing bake d go o ds are high in dietary fib er, low in gluten, and delivers up to 5 times more protein than the average bake d treat.

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome.

Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees. Cut the top and bottom off the grapefruit and one of the lemons and slice into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Lay the fruit on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet and top with the salmon fillet. Zest the remaining meyer lemon over the top of the fillet drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Roast the salmon for 25-30 minutes until the fish is opaque and slightly firm to the touch. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut off the peel and all of the white pith from all around the grapefruit. Working over a small bowl, use the knife to cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments into the bowl. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Remove the grapefruit segments from the bowl and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces, then return them to the bowl. Gently mix in the avocado, jalapeño, onion, cilantro and lime juice. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.

Fit Snack is the brainchild of Rose Muniz, a Denver native and manager at an international consulting firm. While managing a travel oriented business career alongside her passion for fitness and nutrition, Rose realized a void in the health and fitness world: the difficulty of finding healthy snacks on the go! Once inspired, she used her business expertise in conjunction with her passion for healthy living to develop Fit Snack, a subscription box devoted to providing satisfying and nutritious snacks to-go. “Good nutrition affects your mood, energy levels, and provides clarity of mind,” Rose explains. “Decision-making, positive attitude, and problem solving are pivotal aspects of being successful, whether at a Fortune 500 company, spending quality time with family, or training for a marathon.”

I lov e to m ot ivat e & i n s pire ot hers to l iv e a healt hy l if e st yle.

Rose’s passion for healthy living started when she was just a child she always ordered salad on Pizza night. Her journey was a continuous evolution as Rose’s family grew up on traditional Mexican American dishes with little focus on balanced whole food nutrition. She accepted this challenge and has since been an inspiration to her family including a recent clean eating pantry delivery to her Grandmother. Rose is also proud to be congratulating her baby sister and best friend in her graduation as a dietary nutrition and certified personal trainer this year. In addition to a focus on healthy life and corporate success, Rose co-found non profit Hope Connects with her best friend in 2010. The two and their supporters have impacted lives of women and children throughout in Africa and here locally in Colorado. Rose’s vision with Fit Snack is to merge her passion for business, fit life, philanthropy and inspiring others into one beautiful company.

Rose’s goal in this life is to be her best self and to inspire others through action. The only way she could achieve this goal was to learn and do. After college, she began an 8 year international travel career which had many nutritious challenges.

She is honored that you are participating in Fit Snack and that you have taken the steps to live consciously in life, love and health.

During this time, she entered the world of Bikini Fitness Competitions and medaled 2 times. From there and thanks to her coach, Rose had the tools to incorporate fit life into everyday, no matter the travel or work ahead.
