A Little GIVEAWAY to start your week off right!

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on July 11, 2011

Good morning.. and Happy Monday!

I hate the weekend after a three day weekend.. because it most definitely feels WAY too short!!

I am sure you are all wishing you had Monday off – just like you did last weekend. I cannot get you the day off. However.. I can provide you with a fabulous little GIVEAWAY to enter!! (Next best thing? Maybe.. probably not though..) What about chocolate?! A little bit better?

Last week – I told you all about my IBS probs.. and how I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try out Attune Milk Chocolate Crisp Probiotic Bars. Read my review of the probiotic chocolate bars here .. incase you forgot

Well.. now you have a chance to try them out too!! One lucky commenter will be provided with a two week supply of Attune Probiotic Chocolate Bars!

Both Annelies from Attune and I were loving all of the comments that were left on that post – and I am SO happy to hear that I am definitely NOT alone in my problem. (I honestly felt like I was.. because no people I know in real life have ever been candid with me about similar problems when I express what I am going through!)

So – here is a chance for you to get some probiotics into your system via CHOCOLATE!

There are 5 ways you can enter. You must leave a comment for each entry option that you complete in order for it to be valid!

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me what you do in your life now – that helps to keep your body balanced and healthy.

2. Follow Beyond Bananas on Twitter

3. Follow Attune Foods on Twitter

4. Tweet about my giveaway: ” #GIVEAWAY @BeyondBananas1 is giving away a 2 week supply of @attunefoods Chocolate Probiotic bars http://wp.me/p1ERGB-Fd “

5. Like Beyond Bananas on Facebook

This giveaway will end Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at 11:59 est. Winner will be announced on July 14th, 2011 and must provide me with their contact information!

Good luck.. and heres to having a balanced digestives system!

Have a great day, banana heads!

I try to keep a healthy and balanced lifestyle by eating healthy (most of the time!), keeping my body in shape and enjoying life! I try to make healthy decisions whenever I can, but also allow myself to have a few treats here and there

I live a healthy balanced life by eating healthy most of the time and allowing myself to enjoy “junk” foods in moderation! I also make sure that I walk & take the stairs as much as possible since my schedule rarely allows for a good workout!

To try and be healthy I have started baking/making a lot more of my own snacks- this is cutting down a lot of the preservatives, additives etc I was consuming which are in a lot of the pre-packaged snacks I used to buy.

I totally know how much IBS sucks! Mine used to be sooo awful, but it has gotten much better since I cut out gluten and dairy, also I drink a room temperature glass of water in the morning before breakfast.
To keep healthy every day, I drink lots of water and take my vitamins and make sure I eat my veggies
So happy I found your blog!

I’ve had similiar issues, especially with the bloating and stomach pain. A few weeks ago, it got so bad that I ended up at the doctor’s too. I’ve been taking probiotic pills and also have to watch what I eat. But it’s definitely helping. Although, I will say that eating the probiotics in chocolate form sounds a lot better.

I forwarded your IBS post to my husband and my sister and told them that is the story of my life! It’s miserable! And I definitely empathise and feel your pain (ha, literally!) Currently I take Fiber Choice and eat lots of fruits and veggies, and I actually like prunes, so I eat a few of them every day too. I also eat greek yogurt – but I’m lactose intolerant as well, so that’s in moderation. And I can’t eat most grains since I’m gluten intolerant as well. Still on the road to finding what will work for me…the chocolate bars sound great!

Cait @ Beyond Bananas July 13, 2011 at 9:36 am: rest days are SO necessary.. although I must say, I am horrible at taking them even though I know how important they are. I planned to take one Sunday.. just go out for a little stroll. but the stroll turned into a run because I got bored of walking…
