In August, I reviewed Yumvelope. Yumvelope delivers (at least) six full size, small batch, natural artisan products in a padded envelope each month for $21.  I gave Yumvelope a big thumbs up. And, like another fave subscription box, Love with Food, Yumvelope gives a meal to a hungry person for every package purchased. A win win!
Sam sent me an email to let me know that there is a Yumvelope giveaway going on. On Black Friday, they will select one winner to win a November Yumvelope + more goodies. It is easy to enter HERE.
You have to be in it to win it! Yumvelope is a great gift idea for a health-foodie in your life, too! Remember –  for each person who gets a Yumvelope, they give a meal to someone who needs one.
Speaking of companies that give back, I recently tried Skout Natural Foods’ Organic Trail Bars. Skout Natural Foods was created and inspired by the Pacific Northwest. Their mission is to provide great tasting, healthy, organic foods to sustain those who embrace adventure and actively pursue the outdoors. Skout Organic Trailbars were “born in Portland, Oregon, made with a carefully chosen handful of organic ingredients.” Skout is also a cool company. They are committed to promoting environmental stewardship and employ sustainable practices. Skout donates a portion of proceeds to select environmental and humanitarian charities, too.
I saw Skout Organic Trailbars online and wrote to them. Jason offered to send me a sampler and to giveaway one to one lucky reader. Trust me – you are lucky if you win these – they are delicious. When I tried the chocolate + coconut, I sent them this tweet:
@skoutnatural I just tried your chocolate + coconut bar. I think I love you!!
— Erica Agran (@EAgran) October 25, 2013
The flavors are Blueberry + Almond, Cherry + Vanilla, Apple + Cinnamon, Chocolate + Peanut Butter and Chocolate + Coconut. Well, you saw my reaction to Chocolate + Coconut from my Twitter post. DELICIOUS. All of the bars taste like the whole foods that are listed in the flavors. The fruit, nuts and oats are flavorful and delicious and all of the fruit flavors remind me of healthy, yummy cobblers. The chocolate flavors are rich and cocoa-y but not overly sweet. When I ate these bars in the morning, I felt like I had a healthy breakfast. Well… that is because I did!
Skout Trailbars are organic, gluten free, vegan, soy free and non-GMO. These bars are a great on the go breakfast or fuel for hiking or other outdoor activities. I used them as pre-run fuel (and meeting snacks) and they worked great. The bars are a great portable way to eat fruit, grains and fiber.
As I said, Skout Natural offered to send a Skout Organic Trailbar sampler to one lucky reader. Please use the Rafflecopter below to enter. The giveaway is open to US residents only who are over 18. Void where prohibited. The giveaway will be a bit longer than my usual because I will be on vacation over Thanksgiving! Ends 11/29. Winner will be selected and notified on 12/1.
Please note: Product for review and giveaway were sent to me at no charge. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
