Bites of Life and Giveaway

Well, the Healthy Bites news I was referring to in the last post wasn’t anything too big. Whoops, sorry to mislead you. BUT the good news is the giveaway is still on.  Okay, i’m getting ahead of myself. First things first.

Let me tell you a little story..

Once upon a time there was a little wifey with a gluten intolerance who wanted to make some healthy gluten free snack “bites” for her and her hubby. She also wanted to make sure her hubs was getting quality fuel for his long days of training as a pro triathlete. She spent hours in the kitchen, creating these “snacks” and pretty soon it turned into a passion. A passion to share good food and fuel to others. Those with allergies, those with tummy woes, those with kids, and those who just wanted to eat good stuff, ya know?

Yep. That’s me. This all started about 3 1/2 years ago. I’m still going for it too! Trying my darndest to share the love of healthy bites. You can read more of the story here.

What you may not know is my vision for Healthy Bites. I want Healthy Bites to be known as a support system (aka SHERPA system). I want it to succeed so that we can support others in their health and fitness, but I also want it to succeed so that I can support my husband and hopefully one day, a family. I want to be a stay at home mom  (no I am not pregnant, ha!). But I think about that. I think about how I can support a future family and my husband while at home. That’s probably 50% of the reason why I started Healthy Bites. To be able to work from home, take care of my family, make healthy food, and just be a wife. Yep, I am a domesticator. It’s a job I’m made to do because I love it. Some might call me old fashion or too “traditional,” but I do not see it that way at all. In fact, I see a life I always dreamed of.

So why the sappy start? Oh no reason, just letting you into my heart here folks. Healthy Bites is doing well. I keep praying for direction and guidance and I will continue to do so.

One thing that I felt needed to be changed with the order system. You see, I used to just have 4 standard flavors and a flavor of a month. Then I kind of got excited and went BALListic (pun intended) on making up new flavors. Do you see all those below? Yep, those are just a few. HAHA.

Anyway, in order to make the most of my time, I will revert back to my OLD WAYS. Just listen to VLOG below you’ll find out more.

Does that sound good? Four standard flavors and a flavor of the month. The four flavors will be $6.99 per dozen. You can make any flavor allergy friendly, vegan, or paleo for $8.99 per dozen. You can also keep doing custom orders, easy. They might take a little longer to ship but I will keep doing them for $8.99 per dozen. At the beginning of each month I’ll announce the flavor of the month. That flavor will be the same price as a standard bite. Got it? Cool.

I mentioned the standard flavors in the vlog, but I’ll list them below for those who can’t open it.

Standard flavors (available anytime)

• Muddy Buddy Mocha
• cookie dough (mint cookie dough available too)
• Whey bites (vanilla, lemon, chocolate/pb, coconut)
• Apricot/Peach cinnamon (ginger can be added)

I’ll start the flavor of the month’s next month. I am making a vegan Halloween bite for the October #plantPOWER Challenge over at Heather and Casey’s blog. So stay tuned for that in a week or so.

Okay, and now for a thank you present! A giveaway! I’m giving away 2 dozen (1 dozen to 2 people). Yes, 2 winners.

Here’s how to win:

oh and lastly, thank you to Calee for making this FABULOUS button.
