Bestowed Box and A Giveaway

April 26, 2013 by Mitt

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Recently I received an email from Natalia at Bestowed box asking if I would like to receive one of their boxes to review. Heck Yeah Natalia. Who doesn’t like healthy snacks delivered to your door.

Here’s the detail on Bestowed.

Bestowed is a company created by Heather Bauer, a nutritionist and author. Each month, you get a box sent straight to your door that is packed with five or more healthy food and snack product samples for you to try. Each item is hand-picked to bring you the best of the best. Bestowed membership is $19/month or $209/year.

Oh! Did I forget to mention that Natalia also offered a box for one of my readers.

Do you Want to WIN a Bestowed box? Well first lets check out whats in the box!

Check out that haul!

With your box you also receive a full-page sheet which includes product names, “why we love” and “two tips” for each item. This sure does make it easy to find information on the items and how they can benefit your health. You can tell the folks over at Bestowed want you to know all about the items you’re trying. I really loved this feature. Really gives you all the information you could need.

Here’s an Item Breakdown:

Gnu Foods Hi-Fiber Minis Lovely little mini bars. They have only 70 calories, but are packed with beneficial nutrients, minerals, antioxidants. Along with “phytonutrients“. I had to look this one up on WebMD: When you eat or drink phytonutrients, they may help prevent disease and keep your body working properly. Bestowed suggests pairing them with your morning yogurt or replacing your mid-morning snack. In the end they sure did taste good and did go well with my morning yogurt.

Oloves Hot Chilli Mama Olives When I saw these I was thrilled! I squirreled them away in my travel bag. I have a trip coming up and I wanted to save these for a snack with my lunch on the go as I travel.

Nektar Honey Crystals Genius, just genius. Honey crystals! Fell in love, they were so good. I added them to a cup of tea and sipped away.

Kind Healthy Grains Oats & Honey Clusters Granola does not last long in my house. We love the stuff. I also love the Kind brand. I buy the Kind Bars all the time. So I was excited to try the granola and of course the Kind Brand did not disappoint.

iTrain ($25 Gift Card): What a great site. You register your gift card, select a workout or training plan and download it. So many options to choose from.

Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts I use hemp seeds in my oatmeal, yogurt cups, salads, soups, and even top off my hummus with them. They are loaded with protein and vitamins and are a great way to add essential omegas and protein in your diet. I also bake with them and really love to just snack on them right out of the bag. I have even started using them in smoothies. Love them, Love this brand.

EBoost I’ve tried EBoost before, and I really love it. It mixes easy and has great flavor. Plus its always great to keep in your bag so anytime you need a pick me up you just add it to your water.

I have to say that the folks at Bestowed do an amazing job at selecting quality products and healthy options. I so enjoyed receiving and reviewing this box. They are a Class Act with your health in mind.

I keep healthy by walking for almost all my errands. On busy days I can get 3-4 miles done in no time while accomplishing other tasks. (email saltedplates at gmail dot com)

I make my own breakfast every day and snack primarily on fruit and healthy proteins. And I exercise 4-6x a week.

BTW, I just tried some of that KIND granola (Peanut Butter flavor) and it is fantastic!

I keep healthy by cooking lots of veggies at the beginning of the week so they are ready when I am hungry!

I keep healthy by not only working out atleast 3 times a week, but everyday errands! I’m in college and running around all over campus is great for the body! I also keep healthy by getting plenty of greens, fruit and protein! Love hemp hearts!

Would love to try Bestowed 🙂 I keep healthy by working out regularly and maintaining a vegetarian diet full of leafy greens, legumes and whole grains!

I keep healthy by drinking only pure water and eating lots of organic fruit and veggies! I also exercise everyday by either taking a walk or going to the gym!

I keep healthy by exercising, eating lots of fruits, veggies and lean protein and by adding things like flax and fish oil to my diet.

As a college student, eating whole foods is somewhat difficult (Ramen noodles, cafeteria food, etc.). I make it a priority to eat as much whole foods as I can! Ever since then, I’ve felt MUCH better and feel like I am a better student because of it!

I do yoga everyday either on a home DVD or a class at my gym – so energizing and rejuvenating!

I keep healthy by trying to drink a ton of fluids. It’s something that I have a hard time with, but I know drinking water and staying hydrated is so important.

EEEP! Seriously, I want to try these Hemp Hearts I keep seeing everywhere! But as for how I keep healthy – I eat well (most of the time) and workout regularly. It’s all about a balance! 🙂

Training for a half marathon is currently keeping me healthy! I also try to eat healthy and get lots of rest.

I love these kinds of boxes – so much fun to get samplings of all kinds of treats. I’ve never heard of Bestowed before, however. Let’s see…I work out five days a week and I eat a plant-based diet :-). I’m at anunrefinedveganATgmailDOTcom Thanks for the giveaway!

I keep healthy by eating a low-fat plant-based diet and walking on my treadmill.

Love this (and everything in it).I wish I could say it was from sleep, but that would be a big fat lie. It’s all about the plants…lots and lots of plants in our diet. Next step is to get enough sleep to wake up early enough to actually go running. But three small people keep waking me up!

I keep healthy by eating a vegan diet, and keeping my snacks (store bought and not) as clean as possible.
