iherb ya huuurd

what’s up gawjies ;)

while i wish i was at home in the comfort of my own house watching stressing over lost i’m actually in class right now. attempting to read your blogs via my almost dead batter blackberry and probably tweeting about how i’m the only one in class eating. actually by the time this was scheduled for postage i’ve already consumed my dinner and i’m thinking about tomorrow’s breakfast.

anyways that’s besides the point.

a couple of weeks ago i was the oh-so-amazingly-lucky winner of averie’s 50 buckaroonies to iherb.com giveaway.

when she told me about this i literally peed my pants. i’m not kidding when i say this could have been the top 10 best days of my life.

…sad i know.

now immediately i thought to myself “holy crap that means i can buy 50 bucks worth of popcorn kernels!…”

and then i realized wait you’re going to spend fifty free dollars on popcorn? no way jose. so i started to get my research on and after loading and unloading my virtual shopping cart about 60 thousand times i finally maxed out my money with some pretty stellar-ific purchases.

so i thought i’d share them with you ;) and also dedicate this post to my yogini vegan ball makin new popcorn lovin coolest mama in arizona and give her a big virtual namaste for randomly choosing me to win.

first up?

navitas naturals maca powder

now since i heard the fitnessista talk about maca powder for a while now i’ve had my eyes on a bag of this baby. but it’s tres expensive! i remember when i first wanted to get it i asked the people at whole foods how much the bag was. when the words $29.99 came out of the helpers mouth, i almost dropped my basket. no spank ya. so when the op came to score some for basically free, you know this was the first item in my cart. not to mention iherb had it cheaper then wf did.

i love. malty? yes. perfect on everything. pair it with cinnamon & some cocoa powder and you’ll find yourself in heaven. popcorn & apples are my fav and i find myself sopping up the rest of the powder on the plate or bottom of the bowl with whatever i possible can. including my fingers..

bonus? word around the street is that it will help your mojo.

single girl right hur needs help with that.

….i let you know how it goes wink wink

secondly as if one powder wasn’t enough i double powdered it up

navitas naturals mesquite powdskie

to be honest i have no idea why i found the need to put this in my shopping cart. i think navitas just took over my brain and i found myself superfoodin it up. so when i opened my box and i remembered this was in there i thought to myself “what the eff am i supposed to do with this!”

copious amounts of hours of research later i just decided to wing it. and so i opened the bag, gave it a wiff (is that word not gross or what) and started sprinkling dumping it on anything and errrrrythang. i found myself putting it on apples, and pears, and in oatmeal and smoothies & yogurt and just eating it by the spoon (haha kidding of course or am i..)

anyways the point is that i like! its not bbq-y so don’t think you’re gonna open the bag and find a hot wild west cowboy pop out to grill you up some mesquite flavored chicken legs. instead you’ll find a sweet fairy pop out and suggest you pair it with cinnamon.

;)

…..i’m like a powder crack h….

braggs babe-ay.

in a nutshell they need to start a braggs aaa (aminos addicts anonymous)

even when i’m “not in the mood” for a salty seasoning i find myself reaching into the cabinet to spray. on what? on everything. i even think my dog would taste like braggs at this point..

will i be feeding this addiction on my own dollar? hell yes.

and who wouldn’t want berry flavored protein powder..

in life i’ve always wanted to dabble with berry flavored protein powder. but for fear of “wasting” 15 bucks or so, i usually just stick to the standard vanilla.

but when someone else is paying for it? uh hello time to experiment. and damn girrrrl am i glad i did.

i officially am addicted to biochem berries. yes it does have a bit of a protein taste but it’s been spicing up my protein life like no other and i will for sure be buying more of this on my own hot dollaz.

anyone else have any flavored protein powder suggestions pour moi? share ‘em!

lastly i had a few bucks left to spend and this was in fact the challenging part. how would i be able to max my money out (yeah i’m good like that) and still get good quality products that i would find use for.

that my friends is when i invited bob to the party

now these kids don’t need any explanation.

usually i go with the standard trader joe’s toasted oat bran and as soon as i finish my largely sized canister of it, bob will be finding it’s way in my pot.

wheat bran? love you! ever since i professed my love for all of april’s recipes, wheat bran is a staple in a large amount of them so including this for a nice n cheap price was a double bonus.

 

so all in all my shopping spree was all that a girl could have wished for. positives all around except for the fact that i wish it was for $100 bucks and not $50..

…so if anyone is interested in gifting me $50 bucks for another shopping spree, well i promise i won’t turn you down ;)

question! what are some new products you’ve recently tried and been lov-in lately?
