I got an exciting package in the mail the other week from Babbleboxx. It was yoga-themed for National Yoga Month, and it had food and kombucha in it. What more could a health nut ask for? Check out what they sent me below…except…I’m gonna be honest with you, I totally drank the KeVita kombucha before I could take a picture. I’m a kombucha-loving failure!
Ascent Protein
The day I tried Ascent protein, I was feeling too lazy to make a proper meal before my 5 p.m. workout, so I used a packet of it to make a quick smoothie to drink on the way to the gym. I’ve been using a chocolate plant-based protein powder for my shakes lately, so this vanilla whey one was a nice change of pace.
I gotta say, not only were the blueberries, banana, and vanilla a tasty combo, but I liked the convenience of being able to get my nutrition in on the go. 10/10 would have a pre-workout smoothie again.
Also, I had a great, tough workout this day. After all, Ascent Protein is the Official Sponsor of Hard Work — they have a new video that reminds us yoga can be hard work too! You can get Ascent at their website, and you’ll get 10% off with code YOGA.
Can you spot the blueberry on my teeth
Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle
I brought the book Love Warrior with me on my travels to New York (more on those below) but didn’t get a chance to start it. I’ll be diving in once I’m finished with the book I’m currently reading though! I already know I’ll like Love Warrior because a) it’s a New York Times Bestseller and b) I’m a fan of Glennon Doyle’s already. I particularly love this quote of hers:
The most revolutionary thing a woman can do is not explain herself.
-Glennon Doyle
Learn more about the book on the Love Warrior website.
KeVita Kombucha
Now this product is one that wasn’t new to me. I have been OBSESSED with KeVita kombucha lately because it’s one of those Ibotta rebates that’s always available at my local grocery stores. You can click here to find out where to buy KeVita near you. (And if you’re interested, join Ibotta with my code.)
I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve been drinking a KeVita kombucha or sparkling probiotic drink (sometimes two) every day. Oops. Not very economical, but my excuse is that I’m doing it in place of taking a probiotic pill every day. Naturally, I was pumped when my Babbleboxx had two kombuchas in it.
I sipped one on National Coffee Day, just to be a rebel.
KeVita Ginger Master Brew Kombucha
Organic Stevia in the Raw
So lately I’ve been eating a lot of tofu, because without meat I didn’t quite know how to get enough protein to fuel my bodybuilding lifestyle. Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that all the soy has been breaking me out because I didn’t eat any soy while in New York and my breakouts subsided.
ANYWAY, long story short, I’m trying to get protein in other ways, and this breakfast was one thing I tried:
- 1/2 c. oats
- 1 T. chia seeds
- 1 c. cashew milk
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- 1 packet Organic Stevia in the Raw
- Topped with 1 c. strawberries and some sunflower seeds
This meal came out to 46g carbs/14g fat/13 g protein, and I liked that the stevia gave it sweetness without adding a bunch of sugar!
Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths
Since I was headed to Upstate New York a day or two later, I decided to pack a few of these Babbleboxx items up and bring them with me to try. Really put these products to the test, ya know?
The first thing that came in super handy: Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths. They’re gently fragranced feminine care wipes which are handy for freshening up on the go. There were a few times where I didn’t have a chance to shower between sporty outdoor activities and dinners out and these helped me keep smelly pits at bay.
B.O.S.S. Raw Superfood Bars
I also brought these B.O.S.S. Raw Superfood Bars on my trip (and was thankful I did). I had this green apple & brazil nut one at the airport when I landed because I was in a hurry and couldn’t stop for a real meal.
I’m not gonna lie, these guys don’t taste like cake or anything, but they do taste like real, healthy food because that’s what’s inside! I also like that they’re vegan, soy free, and gluten free. You can find them on Amazon Prime, or use code BABBLEBOSS on the B.O.S.S. website and you’ll get free shipping on any 5-pack and/or case of 12 through October 15, 2017.
The Raw Superfood bars came to the rescue several times on this trip. I just stashed one in my bag whenever we were out and about, like before doing yoga (how festive for National Yoga Month!) in front of Keuka Lake…
…and walking around Downtown Corning…
Not all of us can be foot models ok
… and soaring above the hills in a glider!
Have you tried any of these products before, or read Love Warrior? Side note: Has anyone ever made their own kombucha? I’m curious about trying that…
Carrie | The Lavender Hytta says
Looks like a great box to receive… I would love to try some of these products.
Marielle Altenor says
So many different products! I haven’t tried any of them but would totally love to try the Organic Stevia in the Raw.
Nikka Shae says
You had a blast and I’ve been wanting to try yoga for a while now too.
Toughcookiemommy says
I have a friend who has been doing yoga for years and who swears by it. She credits it with helping stay so fit.
Terri Beavers says
I think the only product I’ve tried is the stevia. I have been using it for years instead of sugar. I need to try some of those bars when I’m on the go.
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
What great foods to try! I am a big fan of Organic Stevia in the raw, but haven’t tried komacha yet. I have to get on that.
Kiwi says
I am becoming a super Health Nut so i enjoyed all of these new products in this post. I even shop at this place near me call The Health Nut.
Kita Bryant says
I’ve heard of of Kombucha. I haven’t gotten to try it yet though. I’ll have to get on that!
Jenn @ EngineerMommy says
I have been drinking kombucha for a few months now. It has a taste that takes a while to get used to. However, once you get used to it, it’s really not too bad.
Chanelle says
It definitely is different! I’ve grown to love it for sure.
Carol Cassara says
I actually haven’t tried kombucha before but I am loving this box! It has everything you need when you’re working out but also a little busy!
Dogvills says
I wanted to try Yoga when I was younger, but never got to do it, with all the child-rearing I did and trying to build a career for myself. I would be afraid to try it at my age right now because I feel like a box of cereal – snap, crackle, pop goes my joints! haha. Oh, and you got awesome products from Babbleboxx!
Jocelyn @ Hip Mama's Place says
I’ve never heard of these before but they’re really awesome. I think it’s good to have snacks that are good for you, not something sweet, something good.
Toni | Boulder Locavore says
Awesome ideas! Thanks for sharing your tips! That book looks like a great read!
Crystal says
National Yoga Month…how did I miss that? I need to add yoga to my routine. I love pilates, and think this would be a great fit for me.
Sapphire Kharyzma says
I’m not a Yoga fan, but I do enjoy eating healthy and taking walks. I am considering adding some running to my routine.
Theresa says
I don’t do yoga, but I do weight lifting 3 days a week, then cardio two other days. I am in need of a good pre-workout protein smoothie and think Ascent protein sounds like a really good add in.
Angela Milnes says
I’m often pretty lazy when it comes to making breakfast if it’s too early as well. That brand sounds delicious. I might have to give that a shot.
Wendy Polisi says
I’ve heard of Love Warrior. It sounds good and I have been wanting to get my hands on it.
Mimi Green says
I’ve never heard of kombucha but it sounds like it is really good. I’ve only tried yoga once and it was nothing like I imagined. I would like to try it again.
Kelly Hutchinson says
I have always wanted to try yoga, but somehow feel intimidated. I have not tried any of these products.
Kristi says
Kombucha seems to be the thing these days. My daughter was asking about making it… supposed we need to give it a try and see how hard it really is to make.
Travel Blogger says
I absolutely love KeVita kombucha! This sounds like such a great babblebox! Thanks for the Ascent discount code. I will have to stock up on their products for my workout routine.

I was thinking of trying Yoga. I would love to try KeVita kombucha . This looks like a great box.

Sarah Bailey says
It sounds like you really got behind National Yoga month, I am loving the sound of the B.O.S.S. Raw Superfood Bars myself they would definitely be interesting to try out.
Michelle Waller says
This box looks like so much fun! I have never tried cashew milk, but it sure looks yummy. I am going to have to check it out.
Pam Wattenbarger says
My daughter has a close friend who is vegan, so they use cashew milk a lot in cooking. I haven’t tried it yet but I want to!
Maureen says
National Yoga Month looks like a great way to focus back on health and enjoy being you! Love all that you did for yoga month. Keep on going on!
Jeanette says
I have not heard of a lot of these different products. I am trying to eat healthier in one of the things I need to learn is nutrition and what exactly I need. I will definitely try some of the stuff. It all looks good.
Brandy says
I had no idea that there was such a thing as National Yoga Month, what a fun way to enjoy being a Yoga person. I haven’t ever done yoga but hear it’s super helpful. Glad you enjoyed the time!
Nichole says
I didn’t know there was a National Yoga Month! Thanks for sharing your healthy habits and fitness info!
Natalie says
That breakfast meal looks SO delicious! I need to give it a try, and be more serious about yoga!
candy says
Yoga is something I have never tried mostly because we live out in the country and the classes are to far away. Nice to read what you eat and what you do when taking and doing yoga.
Amber Myers says
I didn’t even know there was a yoga month. Maybe since I can’t do yoga. But all the food looks tasty! I’d give it a taste.
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
I’ve never had kombucha and haven’t read Love Warrior. I love the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, it’s beautiful up there.
Chanelle says
It is gorgeous. I’d love to go back soon!
Alli Smith says
I haven’t done yoga in years! I need to revisit because I always loved how I felt afterward. The Superfood Bars is something I’d love to try – perfect to keep in my purse when I’m traveling.
Colleen Lanin says
All the food you listed here sounds so good! Who says you can’t have tasty food that’s also healthy? I love these!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestylest says
That oatmeal sounds super yummy! I love the strawberries on top. I’m a big fan of Stevia in my oatmeal as well. I can’t stand unsweetened oatmeal.
Heather Johnson says
I used to do a lot of yoga as part of a fitness program at work. I had no idea that last month was National Yoga Month!
Rosey says
I’d like to try Cashew Milk in a breakfast recipe like this one. That sounds really good. My DIL does Yoga consistently and she loves it. 🙂
Robin rue says
I have been wanting to try yoga for a long time now. Those B.O.S.S. Raw Superfood Bars sound like a great after-workout snack.
