I love trying new products but am always hesitant when buying things I haven’t sampled first. Blogging gives me the chance to try a lot of new things that I can in turn recommend to you all!
Today I am introducing Bestowed! A monthly care package subsciption full of 5+ amazing nutrition and lifestyle products hand picked by celebrity nutritionist and author Heather Bauer. You pay $19 for one month’s box, but you don’t have to commit to a certain number of months which is great. Try it once, sign up for a year. What ever works for you!
I was sent March’s box and here is what was inside (lots of good stuff in my opinion):
Oloves Hot Chili Mama Olives
I love spicy food but these were not spicy at all to me. They were delicious though. I found little bits of lemon in the package. Pit free and only 50 calories a pack- perfect to carry in your purse for a quick snack or pack in your lunch to add to your salad. I am buying some of these for sure.
Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars
I love a good fig bar but stopped buying them a long time ago because all the ones I found were so full of junk. These were definitely healthier, they are vegan and packed with natural ingredients. I ate one plain and one with some almond butter as a mid afternoon snack.
Happy Family-Happy Squeeze Smoothies
This was a perfect snack for my 17 month old. I tasted it first and it was really good- made with organic ingredients- Acai grape & apple flavor.
iTrain $25 Gift Card
I have never heard of iTrain but love the idea. You can download exercises onto your MP3 device or computer and find some inspiration to get moving.
Nature’s Earthly Choice- Easy Quinoa Lentil Soup Mix
This would make a great lunch to pack as all you need to do is add hot water. I love that the whole package has less than 150 mg of sodium per serving and ~400 calories. I am looking forward to trying this.
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
This was my first time trying raw shelled hemp hearts. These tiny seeds are loaded with protein and vitamins and taste similar to sunflower seeds. I haven’t figured out how I will enjoy these most but I am thinking they’d add a nice texture to a bowl of oatmeal.
Artisana Coconut Butter
Coconut products (oil, butter, water) are on the rise. This butter is made from the flesh of the coconut and is full of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. It’s quite delicious- tips for how to enjoy this product include adding it to a smoothie or eating it with whole grain crackers!
Once you find a product you love and want more of, you go to the Bestowed website and they tell you where to find it (I love that a lot of items are found on Amazon). Included in the box is a product sheet full of infomation on the goodies and how to enjoy them. It’s really such a fun idea if you are looking to try new things but don’t want to commit to purchasing large quantities first. It would also make a great gift idea.
Guess what? YOU have a chance to try Bestowed because they want to giveaway one box to a lucky reader.

I love getting free stuffs and trying out new products. It is great to know that there are some companies who continue to innovate their ideas and giving the right alternative snacks to consumers. Fig bars and coconut butter are new to me so I guess I have to find if those items are available in our local grocery.
I am not sure if I am eligible for such contest since I live in Asia. Good luck to the winner.

This would be terrific for me because I’m always looking for new snacks. I often have snacks instead of meals, so I can at least make sure the snacks are semi-healthy.
Kristen says

I’d really like to win this box because I like the idea of being introduced to new healthy products that I might not otherwise try. I like that all of the items in the box are nutritious and that it is easy to find out where you can buy more of whatever products you might like. I’ve been trying to eat healthier and this box seems like something that would really support my efforts. And plus, who doesn’t love to get tasty things in their mailbox?
Mackenzie Rifkin says
I would love to win the Bestowed Box because I love trying new and different healthy products. I don’t live near a health food store, so I’m not always able to conveniently get them. Plus, I’ve been interested in trying a food of the month-type of delivery service!

would love this! I love to try new healthy products and everything looks great to me in the picture. I have to drive at least 20 minutes to any health food store to get some of these things. I’ve had hemp seeds on my list for months now! I am always cooking/baking for my family!
