Ahh Happy Friday! Way to POWER through the work week! Today, I’m talking Power. Like my clever intro? Anyway, yes, power! Two kinds.
First… my gym is loving the rowing machine these days. We’ve had lots of fun workouts incorporating rowing into the mix as well as several different challenges. I wanted to CHALLENGE you to try out rowing yourself, if you haven’t already. Go ahead, give one this workout a try!
Second POWER –> I wanted to share with you all today was the new POWER O’s cereal from Love Grown Foods.
A few weeks ago, Love Grown Foods sent the Love Bloggers samples to try out before the big launch date. I was SUPER excited! Actually, I think the kiwi was even more excited.
But what I was most impressed about with the new Power O’s was the ingredients! Here, I’ll share the info from the LOVE GROWN Crew themselves.
“Love Grown Foods® Power O’s™ will revolutionize your breakfast. Made with navy beans, lentils, garbanzo beans, and brown rice, Power O’s™ are a powerfully nutritious cereal and a great way to power up your day!”
You read that right, BEANS FOR BREAKFAST! Four Flavors: Strawberry, Chocolate, Honey, and Original. Don’t worry, they don’t taste like beans. They taste delicious and nourishing! No dyes, no oil, GMO Free, and gluten free.
I would tell you my favorite but it’s too hard to pick. That’s why I combine them all. 
Love Grown Foods would like to giveaway one FULL BOX of Power O’s and Four minis! Here’s how to win! Open to US and Canada. But if any of my international friends win, I am happy to ship these to them if the shipping is under $20. Deal?
Okay, if you made it this far you’re probably ready to power through this Friday and get to the weekend, yes?
Cheers!

Tanya Ferrera says
April 11, 2014 at 7:28 AMVery cool to see another company following us into the healthy cereal market, but my ViCrunch Protein Super Cereal packs 12g of Fi-Sorb, a patented, 5 protein source blend (no soy, no gluten, no artificial sweetener), and a level of nutrition that is unmatched. Better yet, ViCrunch comes in a single flavor, with 2 separate cans of Flavor Fusions that have health benefits on their own (great to have as a standalone snack, mix in yogurt, or add to ViCrunch), so that saves money by eliminating the need to buy multiple boxes. As if that isn’t enough, preferred customers enjoy a 3 for Free program, and, with Project 10, for every 10lbs lost, or 10lbs of muscle gained, customers get 10 chances to win $1000, plus the company sponsors a child fighting obesity in your community by providing them with 30 healthy meals. Feel free to visit project10nc.com for community results, to request free samples, and for more info!!

April 12, 2014 at 12:52 PMBeans and lentils in cereal? They clearly thought of me when producing these ;). Always furthering the legume obsession.
