Bestowed is the creation of nationally recognized nutritionist and author Heather Bauer and is the answer to all those that have ever stood in the health food section of their local grocery store and said to themselves..."which one of these is really the best??"
Each month, Heather and her team of health and diet experts carefully curate 5 product samples that have caught their attention. Items like nutrition bars, snacks, breakfast cereals, and supplements are just a few of the categories considered. Bestowed members receive these samples in a box delivered right to their door each month. Modern day match makers... introducing the right people to brands that they will absolutely love.
I receive the cute orange Bestowed box last month with 7 items inside. I have enjoyed trying these new products that I can assure you I wouldn't have picked up on my own. Inside the box, there is a description sheet listing each of the products. Bestowed's notes were very informational, giving ideas on where each product might fit into your day.
In the process of sampling the products, I've fallen for Nature's Bakery Fig Bars. Yummy and sweet like a soft cookie.

My new find is Fage total Greek yogurt. I've been adding my own fruit to it.
ReplyDeleteQuinoa is something I tried for the first time two weeks ago! I am hooked! It is so much better tasting that rice.
ReplyDeleteI have been getting a few of these boxes now, such as Klutch box and am surprised that the "healthy" foods aren't that healthy??
ReplyDeleteI have recently discovered the wonderful dried date. Great way to satisfy a sweet tooth without going overboard :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't found any one bar or product that I really love, so I'm still trying stuff out. I got a box of stuff to try last month and it's fun to try new things without having to buy a whole bunch of one thing!
ReplyDeleteI love the light Campbell's soups! Yummy and full of veggies!
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered fresh whole papaya! I have always seen them but never got "creative" enough to buy one. Now I am addicted. Orange yummy sweet goodness. Mega vitamin C among other benefits.

ReplyDeleteComing back from a run all dehydrated just to grab a too-dry nutrition bar is terrible!
ReplyDeleteI've had that fig bar! I didn't realize it was going to be a fig newton inside so I was a little disappointed. I recently discovered the dark chocolate coconut Balance bar, which is a new flavor. HELLO Mounds bar!!
ReplyDeleteI have recently discovered Lara Bars. I know they have been around for awhile but I never tried one until a month ago. I love that they are all natural and I can read all of the ingredients on the label!

ReplyDeleteNot so much a "health food" but runner fuel - Green Apple PowerBar Energy Gel! I found them at the RNR Madrid Marathon Expo and they are delicous!
ReplyDeleteI made a pretty healthy granola bar last week and decided to jump on the flaxseed bandwagon. Come to find out I don't like flaxseed but can't tell my kids that because I am making them eat the bars too. Next time no flaxseed :)
ReplyDeleteI have made my own granola bars, but in the summer that's a little warm with the oven heating up the house. These products look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm always in such a food rut, but we're working on it... my husband has shown an interest in quinoa of late. Really, my "health food" goes back to making muffins with fruit and flaxseed.
