Contests & Giveaways

The Scoopie + Giveaway

I am sooooo excited about this post and giveaway! I’ve said this before, but I love when I get to work with brands from the start and watch then grow! This one in particular is another one of my little babies that I feel very close to. Last year at Natural Products Expo West, I met the CEO and co-founder of The Scoopie, Jarred Allen! When I walked up to his booth at Expo, I was obsessed with this product. In fact, I named it one of my “Top Picks from Expo West 2014” out of over 2,000 exhibitors!

Have you ever tried to transfer protein powder or pre-workout to a water bottle using the plastic scoop that comes with the jar? Yaaaaa, I have – and I cannot tell you how many paper funnels I’ve made as well because the scoop is always wayyyyy too big to pour into the tiny opening of a water bottle! Well, ladies and gentlemen, this genius scoop + funnel invention just solved all of your problems! The Scoopie helps to get powder or liquid into a water bottle or container accurately without mess, hassle or spillage. No more paper funnels! The Scoopie can be used with protein powders, dietary supplements, baby formula, or anything pertaining to the dispensing of liquids or powders.

The Scoopie has a universal sized scoop with an added funnel attachment that was perfectly designed to have a spout smaller than the circumference of a water bottles opening. When using this product, you simply scoop a powdered supplement (pre-workout, baby formula, sweetener, etc..), snap on the attached funnel, flip the scoop over, and pour into a water bottle or small spouted container without the mess of the powder spilling on you. So simple! Just scoop, snap, flip & pour… voila – The Scoopie®!

The-Scoopie-9

Since last year, I’ve used my Scoopie more than most kitchen utensils (it lives in my jar of BCAA for muscle repair and recovery from lots of spin classes), and I’ve kept in touch with my Expo West friend Jarred! When I had first met Jarred, The Scoopie only came in one size, which was 12CC supplement size, and I bugged and bugged him asking when The Scoopie would be made in protein powder size! Well, a few weeks ago, Jarred emailed me and said “I remember promising you the protein/larger sizes so here you go” with a bunch of photos. It’s a dream come true,  60CC and 90CC protein powder sized Scoopies!!! I’m so excited for Jarred and his company, It’s been so fun to watch The Scoopie gain more and more popularity and now come in different sizes! I keep telling Jarred, “you have to get on Shark Tank!” I think Mark Cuban would make a deal on this one! I mean, he does own an NBA team who would definitely use Scoopies!

Dole Super Bowl Superfood Smoothies + Giveaway

I feel obligated to start off this post by telling you that I am writing to you from Seahawks territory. Yes, I am in the hawk’s nest (Seattle). I flew here on the big hawk this afternoon, but rest assured my blog is Super Bowl neutral, and I am not a 12th man! I mean, I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials (anyone else guilty?)!

Funny story, when boarding my plane in Orange County, the person at the front of the gate announced over the speaker system “Anyone wearing a Russell Wilson, jersey may now board the plane” ahead of all of the general boarding passengers. And then after the 2 people with Russell Wilson jerseys boarded the plane, she announced “Anyone in Seahawks apparel may now board the plane!” I should’ve worn 12th man gear. I wouldn’t gotten better overhead bin space. DARN IT!

We all know the Super Bowl usually consists of watching the game, drinking beer, eating burgers or pizza, and tons of chips, salsa, and junk food, but I am here to change that, starting by using the best fat burner! I mean, how cute are these Super Bowl team rivalry smoothies? Even if you’re going to snack during the game, at least give your team some good juju and start your morning off right with a Super Bowl Superfood Smoothie for your team!

I love combining fruits and veggies together in my smoothies and juices, and Dole has a huge variety of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables to choose from to make juicing and smoothie making simple and easy!

Seahawks Blue
1 cup Dole Blueberries
1 handful of Dole Baby Spinach
1/2 Dole Banana
1/4 cup coconut water
1/4 cup almond milk

Seahawks Green
1 huge handful Dole Baby Spinach
1 cup Dole Pineapple
1/2 Dole Banana
1/4 cup orange juice

Patriots Red
1 cup Dole Strawberries
1/2 cup Dole Raspberries
1/2 Dole Banana
1/2 cup orange juice

Patriots Blue
1 cup Dole Blueberries
1 handful of Dole Power Up Greens™ Baby Kale
1/2 Dole Banana
1/4 cup coconut water
1/4 cup almond milk

The trick to making layered smoothies is using the least amount of liquid as possible. You want each smoothie to be extra thick so that they can sit on top of each other without the colors mixing into each other. Less liquid is better. Think of a soft serve consistency.

Slam Dunk Lettuce Wraps + Dole Giveaway

I love DOLE Chopped Salads because it’s a quick and easy way to eat more rabbit food. They’re filled with all sorts of goodies like different lettuces (green cabbage, red cabbage, and kale), broccoli slaw, carrots, and even snap peas! It’s an easy way to change up my usual all spinach or all kale salad and get some different textures and new flavors in the mix. My fav way to eat a chopped salad is to pour the entire bag (yup, all 4 servings! Only 100 calories and 8 grams of fiber for the entire thing!) into a gigantic mixing bowl, throw on some homemade dressing, mix it up, and nom nom that shiznit up. Straight out of the mixing bowl. Awww yeahhhh. But besides eating the entire bag like a rabbit, I love branching out and making new recipes. For example, I love filling spring rolls with the Asian Blend for a quick and easy appetizer when friends come over!

Since March Madness is just around the corner and basketball is all about those slam dunks, I teamed up (no pun intended!) with DOLE Salads to make the ultimate dunk recipe! Serve them up while watching the March Madness games as a fresh snack that’s so healthy, you can dunk into that sauce alllll you want! I love that the Asian Blend is filled with green cabbage, red cabbage, kale, broccoli slaw, snap peas, and carrots. It makes for a super easy veggie filling for my lettuce wraps with little prep!

These fresh Asian lettuce wraps are so easy to make, and even easier to devour!
They’re a total slam dunk!
