GORP Clean Energy Bars & Mixes

SOY Free – Dairy Free – Nothing Artificial – Plant Protein – Vegetarian / Vegan – Re-Sealable Packaging – Woman Owned

Created in a tiny farmhouse kitchen on the Canadian prairies by a wanna-be triathlete mom who also happened to LOVE  going on ADVENTURES!

GORP Clean Energy Bars are all natural protein bars that are hand rolled on the family farm in Manitoba – by a bunch of ladies and a couple dudes with rolling pins! We don’t use any artificial preservatives, flavours or colours! There are 11 grams of plant based protein, 6 grams of fibre and a full gram of omega-3!

Sold in over 700 stores across Canada, as well as online at GORPWorld.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Well.ca

We don’t just sprinkle in the good ingredients and call it ‘healthy’. There are 2 teaspoons of raw hemp per bar, 1 teaspoon of ground flax, plus we use a high quality, easy to digest, hypo allergenic sprouted brown rice protein in our bars… (you know, because bloating from some of those other kinds of proteins isn’t fun!). Besides those super ingredients, you’ll find whole nuts and seeds snuggled into locally sourced oats and honey, for an always soft and chewy mouth-feel.

For all of us nibblers, our bars are re-sealable! Simply take a few bites, peel back the label, fold over package and it’s sealed! No more linty, hairy protein bars crumbling all over our bags and purses!

NEW ‘AWARD WINNING’ Energy Bar Ready Mix – Now Available! An affordable, “do it yourself” premium protein bar mix that allows you to customize and control the sugar (and more!) in the recipe!

We gave you our recipe for our GORP Bars, now all you need is 15 minutes, a few ingredients and a rolling pin, and you can have your own GORP bars for around $1.00 per bar (regular retail price ~$3.50).

We are passionate about REAL food and inspiring ADVENTURE! It’s good for the soul, the mind, plus it’s just mad FUN! To fuel your adventure, we’ve packed these bars with the best super star ingredients we could find!

Sleep Better Naturally

Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?  Are you looking for a natural (drug-free) way to a better night’s sleep?

 

Charlene Currie, Nurse Consultant offers a holistic approach to your sleep problem.

She says, Sleep happens naturally when the conditions in the body, mind and environment are conductive to rest.  Finding your way back to a restful sleep involves 1) identifying all the sources of sleep disturbance (and there may be more than you realize),    2) restoring balance and 3) establishing healthy sleep patterns”

 

Charlene is a registered nurse with a special interest in sleep.  Charlene completed clinical training in Mind/Body Medicine from Harvard Medical School and has received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), mindfulness practices and coaching. She personally experienced insomnia around the time of menopause and struggled with it for four years.  Charlene knows firsthand how difficult it can be and that a one size fits all approach does not work.

 

 

When working with clients she will:

  • Assess the health, lifestyle, sleep habits and environmental factors that may be causing or contributing to poor sleep.

 

  • Teach practices that lead to a restful sleep which may include:
    • Evening routines to prepare the body and mind for sleep
    • Bed time scheduling to enhance deep, restorative sleep
    • Synchronizing circadian rhythms
    • Reducing stress and hyper-arousal
    • Dealing with a racing mind at night
    • Nutrition and exercise practices that promote better health and better sleep
    • Creating the condition in the bedroom for optimal sleep

 

  • Assist clients to develop a plan for making positive health and lifestyle changes and coach them through the steps of their plan.

 

Contact Charlene for a consult and learn how you can begin to improve your sleep. (204) 505-0325 Ext 211

Manitoba Association of Senior Centres

Welcome to MASC

What are Senior Centres?

Senior Centres are health promoting, capacity building, and community focal points on aging where older persons come together for services and activities that enhance their dignity, support their independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community.

Senior centres are open to all individuals 55 years and older, or retired.
Senior centres provide programs that offer core health services, are governed by a community-based board of directors, respond to diverse needs of older persons, hire professionals, provide education, develop innovative programming approaches, and are a community resource for information on aging.

The Philosophy of Manitoba Senior Centres

Aging is a normal part of the developmental process. We all need peers with whom they can interact and who are available as a source of encouragement and support. As older adults we have the right to have a voice in determining matters in which we have a vital interest. A person’s sense of well-being is enhanced when one obtains balance and satisfaction in the various personal components, such as emotional, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual. Members and Volunteers form the backbone of senior centres.

Our Mission

The Association is a provincial focal point to facilitate communication, networking and planning among senior centres and raise their profiles. The Association also assists in the development of senior centres and collaborates with other senior serving organizations.
