I have been a fan of NOW Foods for a few years now and I am loving my latest batch of stuff!
What we got going on here:
Personal Care
–Arnica Cooling Relief Gel – great for post-run/races to sooth sore muscles.. this stuff feels so good!
–Natural Bug Ban Spray — 100% natural!
Sports Nutrition
–Sprouted Brown Rice Protein Powder — All natural ingredients and great for people that are allergic to whey/soy/egg protein powders!
–Dutch Chocolate Pea Protein Powder – Just tried this in a smoothie and it was great!
–MCT Oil — You can use this as a substitute for oil to cook with or use in salad dressings… great fatty acids.
–Electro Endurance — an awesome mix of carbs (simple and complex), protein and electrolytes which is all awesome for recovery after a hard workout! I just add it to my water!
Food
-Gluten-free, allergy-friendly line, including: Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Mix and Organic Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix. Brooke and I tried the banana bread mix a few weeks ago and we really liked it and I was skeptical of it at first because it is gluten free and I haven’t ever really tried gluten free products.
–Sugarless Sugar – Our one-to-one sugar substitute with 1/3 calories, great for baking!
-Variety of BetterStevia natural sweeteners, including Liquid Coconut – the coconut is my favorite one and it awesome to flavor water with!
–Triple Omega Seed Mix — LOVE this on my yogurt and once it is cold again and I eat oatmeal all of the time I will be putting it on that too (hemp, chia and flax seeds—> great source of protein, fiber, omega-3 and omega-6).
Supplements
–Probiotic 10 — Been hooked on probiotics after my run in with Ghiardia and I was put on a ton of antibiotics.
–UC II – Joint support.. WE RUNNERS NEED THIS!
Brooke wanted to be in a picture with everything and I was trying to hide my head as I was lifting her up and clearly it worked out really well.
One lucky ready will win ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS (worth over $300!!)!
********To enter the giveaway just leave me a comment on this post about what one of your healthiest habits is or you can tell me a story about something random or just tell me and Brooke and hello!
Giveaway ends on 8/4/14!
—————————————————————-
We had one heck of a birthday party this morning for Mischa (in the purple top)! It hurt every fiber of my being to get up so early because I have been sleeping in a lot after the marathon but it was 100% worth it and I just love this girl so much. I met her 9 years ago in a spin class and we have been super close ever since.
Class was 1 hour (I haven’t done a spin class that long in forever.. usually they are 45 minutes at my gym) and it was a killer workout. Lots of hill climbing, lots of sprints and some great tunes. I love group exercise classes.
Mischa brought a basket of her favorite things to the class and she gave US presents… I know.
Her favorite lip gloss, this was like Christmas morning for me because I am so obsessed with lip gloss. I put it on at least once an hour and even before I go to bed:) I get addicted to things easily. PS people ask me what type of lip gloss I usually use and I use THESE ONES (punchy is my favorite one)!
And the sweetest Macy sent this for me and Brooke to put up in our new place. I can’t wait! 8 days until moving day (ps mom and dad, you will still be seeing me and Brooke daily… you can’t escape us:)
Now go ahead and enter the NOW Foods giveaway!

Drinking green juices and smoothies!
Megan
Green smoothies, running and laughter
Nicole Millheim
I am starting to drink protein drinks. I am interested in trying Kale smoothies. I keep hearing how healthy they are
Amanda
Praying and positive thinking! They both have such a huge impact on how I feel.
Nikki
Exercising daily
Taya
One of my healthy habits is logging my food on Myfitnesspal. I have a tendency to under eat (a leftover habit from an old eating disorder) and logging what I eat helps me stay on track every day! Especially while training for marathons, eating enough gives me the energy I need!
Kathryn
I think my healthiest habit is that without fail every day I have a salad for lunch. It helps me feel assured I am getting enough veggies in my diet even on the worst of days.
Audra
Trying and mostly failing to go paleo. I do okay for meals, but snacks and sugar cravings are the worst!!
Diane
Hi Brooke!!! :)
Ashley
Lots of veggies since I am vegetarian, oh and my age in push-ups and 100 sit-ups daily:)
Kari Burghardt
Hydrate! It makes a huge difference in my skin and mood when I’m well hydrated. Awesome giveaway!! :)
Jackie
I think one of my healthiest habits is that I carry a huge protein bottle with me everywhere I go. What do I put it in? Not protein powder, nooo. Just water. I drink water like no other and I bring my protein bottle around because it’s the biggest container I have. People know it as my best friend LOL.
Suzie
I eat lots of veggies. That cancels out the sweets right?
Laura
Hi Janae!
My healthiest habit is making sure to work out at least an hour a day (besides Sunday).
A healthy habit I WISH I had is drinking more water.
Have a happy new week!
Marla
My healthiest habit is to drink a ton of water and to make sure I exercise for at least 30 mins/day. My not-so-healthy habit involves lots and lots of chocolate. :)
Jenn
Green smoothies are a must!
Jade O.
I make sure my daughter spends the majority of her day outside. Since she’s turned 4, she has been wanting to be more of a curl up on the couch watching tv!
Valerie
I recently started running so that has definitely been a healthy change to my life. I also drink amazing grass super greens with my breakfast.
Kelly
Hello Brooke and Janae, hope your weekend was great!
Cori @ shes going the distance
healthy habit #23435 – eat vegetables at every meal
Laura D
A few healthy habits I have are… having a positive attitude, working out 5 days a week, challenge myself each week in pump, and loving myself for who I am (flaws and all).
Nikki
Smoothies with spinach

But you’ll find some people that the news sites listed road just isn’t
smooth. Acquiring into your top back links from the social networks is really a extremely challenging job.
Other than this, many free and paid applications are available
to boost the productivity.
Sweet&Salty Runner
Hiiiii Brooke and Janae!! My healthy habits include running 3-4 times a week, harvesting my vegetable garden and making as many homemade foods as possible!
Jen
I don’t know if this is my “healthiest” habit, but something I’ve changed over the years is not adding sugar to my oatmeal – I use fruit or dried fruit instead.
Jessica
I drink tonssss of water everyday!
Stephanie
Drink lots of water. It is so good for you.
Nancy K
Can’t wait to see pics after move-in day!
My healthiest thing is my drink of choice -water. I love it, and drink lots of it. :)
Tamara
I drink lots of water and challenge myself with my Fitbit.
Calli W
juicing every morning!
Sarah
Am I too late?! I would loooooove to win this giveaway. You had me at gluten-free brownies. One of my healthiest habits… hmmm… I guess trying to honor my body by NOT eating things that I know don’t work for me (i.e, dairy & gluten). Sometimes I really just want a big ooey-gooey gluten-full brownie… but instead I’ll choose a piece of dark chocolate instead. :)
Tessa
Good morning Brooke!

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due
to no back up. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

I think that everything published made a lot of sense.
However, think on this, what if you added a little content?
I ain’t suggesting your content is not good., but suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention?
I mean NOW FOODS GIVEAWAY!!! is kinda boring. You ought to look at Yahoo’s home
page and watch how they create post headlines to grab viewers to click.
You might try adding a video or a related picture
or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
