We Were There: Coastal Nutrition's Grand Opening

With summer (i.e., swimsuit season) being just around the corner, the grand opening of Coastal Nutrition in Tiverton could not have come at a better time! Part of the same organization that opened Shape Up Newport and Slim Possible in Middletown, RI, Coastal Nutrition provides nutritional and wellness coaching. Additionaly the provide programs focusing on weight loss (or weight gain), athletic performance, and nutrition products.

Upon arriving at the well attended grand opening, manager Cybil Pacheco offered me a sample of their Vanilla Peanut Butter Protein Shakes (which tasted almost too yummy to be of healthy, nutritional value), but alas, it was indeed! They offer a wide variety of protein and meal replacement shakes all serving multiple purposes - rebooting after a long day of work, charging up before a work out. I was told they even have a shake designed specifically to help offset the side effects of a long Saturday night out. Shake it up baby, twist and shout, I say.

I was also lucky enough to discover the miniature nutrient rich pies which are not only good for the figure (I know - crazy!), but also could be eaten before or after a workout. Any pie that serves both of those purposes is my kind of sweet treat.

Providing a nutrition bar, free wi-fi, and laptop workspace - Coastal Nutrition may be the super healthy equivalent to the new coffee shop in town.
