This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx

It’s one of my favorite months of the year! Not only is it now officially Spring, but it’s also National Nutrition month! To celebrate, I’ve teamed up with my friends over at Babbleboxx to share some amazing, nutritious products, and there may even be a discount for you to enjoy along the way!

Coconut Secret Organic Coconut Aminos

If you are looking for a great soy and gluten free alternative to soy sauce without the MSG, I highly suggest giving Coconut Secret’s Organic Coconut Aminos a try! They have that great soy sauce-like taste with 72% less sodium. I love to use it as a 1:1 alternative for soy sauce in stir fries because it perfectly savory with a slightly sweet umami flavor. It’s also great for marinades, dips, or on its own!

Mighty Sesame Harissa Tahini

I’m a huge tahini fan, and Mighty Sesame’s Harissa Tahini is at the top of my list! Not only is it vegan, gluten free, kosher, and dairy free, but this tahini packs in the most delicious kick of roasted-chile pepper flavor. Iam obsessed with the convenient squeeze bottle. Just give it a shake and add it to your favorite dips, veggies, or meats. I personally love to use it as a salad dressing. It’s also packed with 7g of protein and 260mg of calcium per serving!

Minute Rice

Not only is Minute Rice super convenient (as the name says, it’s ready in a minute), it’s also super tasty and wholesome. It’s great for when you’re on the go or meal prepping, and sometimes I just like to whip up Minute Rice to go along with some leftover protein and veggies after a long day. I also love the variety of options. One day I can enjoy basmati and the next I can have the brown rice and quinoa, both of which are Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten free, vegan, and have no added preservatives. Plus, all of their cups are BPA-free and recyclable!

Nutiva Organic Classic Hazelnut Spread

Nutiva’s Organic Classic Hazelnut Spread has been a favorite of mine for years! It’s absolutely delicious and contains 40% less sugar than the leading brand. It’s also vegan, non-GMO, and rainforest and orangutan safe! I love to make little dessert tacos with the spread and fresh berries, and it’s also great on pancakes, waffles, and in a cozy bowl of oats. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

RECIPE 33

If you haven’t yet tried Recipe 33’s infused almonds, you are missing out! They’re truly brilliant - deliciously flavored almonds without the sticky, messy hands. RECIPE 33 developed a process to take real ingredients and infuse the flavor into each almond without the addition of any artificial additives or flavors. These almonds come in five delicious, unique flavors - black truffle, smoky serrano, garlic dill, lemon rosemary, and cinnamon vanilla. They’re perfect whether you’re enjoying them on the go, as part of a snack plate, or adding them to your favorite salad. You can use the code TryRECIPE33 here to get $2.00 off any 4oz bags.

Snack time is one of my favorite times of the day. Don’t get me wrong, I love a full-on meal, but sometimes you just need something light and delicious to get you through. That’s why I couldn’t be more excited about Simple Mills’ NEW Organic Seed Flour Crackers! They are now available at Whole Foods and the perfect snacking cracker.

I’ve been a huge fan of Simple Mills for years now. Their products are unmatched! These new Seed Flour Crackers take the snacking game to a whole new level! They have the most flaky, crispy texture, making them the ideal vehicle to load up with your favorite toppings! They’re available in three different flavors – original, garlic & herb, and everything, all of which are absolutely delicious and made from a nutrient-dense three-seed flour blend of sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Plus, they provide a great source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants to keep you powering through your day!

Whether I’m enjoying a quick snack plate or making a board of various cracker bites for an at-home happy hour, these crackers are my new go-to. Each flavor is so delicious and fun to pair with different toppings. I absolutely loving topping the garlic & herb with a variety of savory combos like mashed avocado with mini peppers and cilantro, hummus with cucumber slices, or mozzarella with cherry tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar. The original flavor is great with literally anything, but I especially love using them when I’m craving something a little sweet like these goat cheese, strawberry, and balsamic bites and brie, blackberry, and honey bites.

No matter how you’re topping them, you really can’t go wrong with these Simple Mills Organic Seed Flour Crackers! They not only make snacking extra delicious and nutritious but also super simple and easy! It really doesn’t get much better.

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx

Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s a time of new beginnings and growth. The weather is getting warmer, flowers are beginning to bloom, and it’s really a time where the world seems to reset. In the spirit of spring, I’ve decided to do a little reset myself, and that includes my wellness routine. Thanks to my friends over at Babbleboxx I’ve discovered a few new products and some old favorites, and I wanted to share them with you all! There are also some discount codes and coupons, so be sure to snag them below!

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar Prebiotic Shots - Ginger Turmeric

I’ve been a big fan of incorporating apple cider vinegar in my routine for years now, and Bragg is making it even easier (and more delicious) to do so with their Apple Cider Vinegar Prebiotic Shots - Ginger Turmeric. These ready-to-go shots are great for your gut health and include anti-inflammatory spices for an extra health boost! I love to start my day off with one, and they’re so convenient, you can even taken them on the go! You can use the code BRAGG20 over on their website to get 20% of your order!

Intensive Foot Repair and Multi-Purpose Nail Repair from Kerasal

Coming out of the winter, my skin and nails are more dry and damaged than ever. They certainly were needing a boost, and these Kerasal products did just the trick! The Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair is the perfect foot cream for dry cracked feet! It’s an exfoliating moisturizer, so it hydrates your dry feet while also getting rid of any dead skin. I literally saw results after one use; It was that good! I just applied it after my shower, put on socks to help boost the results overnight, and my feet looked infinitely better the next morning! It’s perfect for an at-home pedicure, especially now that sandal season is upon us.

I’m also a huge fan of the Kerasal Multi-Purpose Nail Repair. It really hydrated and smoothed my nails. It can be used on both fingernails and toenails to improve their appearance when damaged by psoriasis, gel manicures, aging, or nail fungus. It penetrates the nail to reduce discoloration and thickness, leaving them with a nice, healthy appearance. I saw results in just a week! You can head on over to their website to get coupons for both products, and you can check out all of Kerasal’s products for purchase here.

Sugar Face Scrubs from Tree Hut

There’s no better way to start my week than with a nice exfoliating face scrub! These USA-made face scrubs from Tree Hut are some of my favorites. They’re made with 100% natural exfoliants to gently but effectively buff away dry skin, leaving behind beautifully nourished skin. Each of their face scrubs is paraben and cruelty free and vegan. They also do not contain any formaldehyde donors.

There are four different varieties. The Hydrating Watermelon & Cactus Water Sugar Face Scrub is packed with ingredients that hydrate you skin leaving it looking perfectly fresh. The Brightening Pineapple & Papaya Face Scrub includes ingredients to brighten and even out skin tone. The Purifying Blueberry & Turmeric Face Scrub is loaded with ingredients that purify and tone problematic skin. The Nourishing Banana & Oat Face Scrub, my personal favorite, includes ingredients that really help to revitalize, soothe, and hydrate skin. Each one is wonderful, and I love to switch it up based on what my skin is needing.

Beef Sticks from Chomps

Chomps have been one of my go-to snacks for years now. I love their 100% grass-fed meat sticks! They have a variety of flavors including Original Beef, Jalapeno Beef, and Original Turkey all of which are made from high-quality sustainably sourced proteins that are hormone free, antibiotic free, and humanely raised. Chomps meat snacks never contain added sugar, added nitrates or nitrites, GMOs, soy, dairy, gluten, artificial preservatives or colors, MSG, or artificial sweeteners and are all certified paleo, Whole30 approved, keto certified, and allergy-friendly.

All-In-One and Sensitive Skin Liquid Bandage from New Skin

Coming out of winter mixed with washing my hands more than ever has certainly left them extra dry leading to accidental cuts and cracked skin. New Skin Liquid Bandage has been quite the lifesaver, especially where regular bandages don’t work. Liquid Bandage kills 99.9% of germs, helping prevent infection while sealing out water, dirt, and germs.

This year, New Skin also launched New Skin Sensitive and New Skin Botanicals. New Skin Sensitive is a new formulation and the first and only hypoallergenic liquid bandage. I personally have sensitive skin, so this liquid bandage is great because it doesn’t irritate it or cause any discomfort or redness. New Skin Botanicals is the first and only liquid bandage enriched with natural ingredients. It’s drug free, sting free, alcohol free, and waste free! It’s also enriched with aloe and chamomile to help the healing process. You can shop for New Skin Liquid Bandage here and here.

Fueling Your Fitness Routine - Mind, Body, and Spirit

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.

When thinking about fitness, it’s generally the norm to just think about various exercises and ways of working out, but there are so many different pieces that go into a balanced fitness routine. From fueling and refueling the body to wearing the right gear, there are a number of crucial components to consider. That’s why I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite products that make all the difference in my fitness routine. So whether you’re looking for your next favorite supplement, a place to store your wedding ring while you work out, or even a way to tap into your spirituality and keep a sound mind before, during, and after a workout, I’ve got you covered.

One of the biggest parts of health and fitness for me is what I’m putting into my body to not only fuel my fitness routine but also my everyday life. That’s why I’m a huge fan of Ancient Nutrition. Their Multi Collagen Protein combines five types of collagen so that you don’t have to choose between bovine and marine collagen and can get the benefits of both. It supports a healthy gut, skin, hair, nails, and joints and all of the collagen is sourced from non-GMO, pasture-raised, cage-free, and cruelty-free sources. I also love their Zinc + Probiotics supplement to support a healthy immune defense and gut digestion.

When it’s time to suit up for my workout, the right leggings are absolutely key! I want them fitted but breathable, and I can’t stand when a legging rolls down mid-workout. That’s why I love these No nonsense Wide Waistband Sports Leggings. The fabric is lightweight with a built in stretch that moves with you. The wide waistband stays in place without rolling down for a nice, smooth look. You can use the code Sports25 for 25% off!

Another key piece in my fitness routine is the perfect snack bar. Whether I’m grabbing one to bring on a hike, or I’m fueling up before a spin class, a delicious snack bar with great ingredients is key. Queue the new Nature ValleyTM PackedTM sustained energy bars. Both the Peanut Butter & Cranberry and Almond Butter & Blueberry flavors are amazing, and these bars have the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and chewy textures. They’re really the ultimate snack bar and perfect for any occasion!

So now that you’re fueled and ready to go in your perfect workout outfit, you’re still missing one thing - a place to put that ring so it doesn’t keep getting in the way (or even worse fall off) during your workout. RingHero to the rescue! These adorable wrist bands are not only stylish, but they discretely store your rings or other jewelry while you get in that me time! RingHero protects your jewelry from sweat and damage while also keeping it within view right on your wrist. You can use the code BabbleBoxx10 for 10% off!

We’ve made it through our workout, and now it’s time to refuel with the most delicious, easy plant-based meal. That’s where Veestro comes in. They ship fully-prepared plant-based meals straight to your door, and all you have to do is heat them up and enjoy! It really doesn’t get any easier, especially after a nice, hard workout. You can use the code BABBLE25 for 25% any order through October 31, 2020.

One thing we don’t often think about in terms of health and fitness that truly plays such and important role is the mind and spirit. That’s why I love this Amenti Oracle and Feather Heart Deck and Guidebook. It’s a unique and fun way to tap into your spirituality and spark the imagination. It makes for a great gift or self-purchase for anyone who’s into divination or mystical, and it pairs great with tarot cards!

From the perfect workout gear to some of my favorite snacks, supplements, and meals, there really is so much that goes into a fitness routine outside of the actual workout. I hope you’ve enjoyed some of my fun finds! Let me know which you try and how you like them in the comments below.

Food Finds to Celebrate National Nutrition Month

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx

Happy March, my friends! I can’t believe it’s March already, and we’re just a couple of weeks away from Spring. One thing that I love about this month (besides the warmer weather) is that it’s National Nutrition Month! And what better way to celebrate than by sharing some of my favorite new food finds with you all. My friends over at Babbleboxx were kind enough to send me a box of some delicious and nutritious goodies again this year, AND they have some great offers and discounts for you. So let’s get to it!

Action for Healthy Kids

Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) isn’t a “food product”, but it is an amazing organization! AFHK is a nonprofit that brings together educators and families to create healthier schools and communities that support the physical and emotional health of children. Through grant funding, programmatic support, online resources, and a parent ambassador network, they make an impact in schools and communities that need it most.

I’m at a huge fan of this nonprofit because they emphasize how important it is to teach healthy habits at an early age. Whether it’s the food kids are eating, their physical activity levels, or their mental and emotional health, Action for Healthy Kids realizes how essential it is to provide tools to address each of these important pieces of overall health.

According to a national survey by AFHK, 76% of parents say they have improved their own habits based on something their child told them about health and well-being. This program creates a trickle down effect where it isn’t only helping the children who are learning about health and nutrition in school, but it’s helping their entire family making it even more impactful and important. You can take action for your kids by joining the movement at www.actionforhealthykids.org/take-action. If you commit to Take Action for Healthy Kids by March 31, 2020, you’ll be entered to win a healthy taste test kit to host a fun and tasty nutrition education activity for students at your child’s school (valued at $175). To enter, just visit www.actionforhealthykids.org/win and fill out the challenge registration form.
