Friday Five: 5 Things I’m Loving Lately

I’ve tried at ton of great things lately between Expo East and everything else. It was tough to pick just five, but here goes!

Five Things I’m Loving Lately

Nfuse Magnesium Cream and Deodorant – As an athlete, I’m always trying to make sure I get enough magnesium. Magnesium reduces stress, relaxes muscles (and prevents cramps), protects the heart and improves sleep. Some deodorants use magnesium to prevent odor. The folks from nfuse have a innovative magnesium delivery technology to knock out odor and deliver maximum magnesium performance. They recently added skin cream, as well. All products are naturally derived, vegan, cruelty-free and proudly made in the USA. They’re free of aluminum, parabens, GMOs, phthalates, zinc salts and artificial fragrance. Get nfuse online and on Amazon and stay tuned for a review and giveaway!

WhatIf Noodles – These noodles look and taste like traditional ramen, but they’re made with sustainable, protein packed Bambara groundnuts and other superfoods. The are all natural and have no palm oil, artificial flavors or colors. Each noodle pack comes with one serving of noodles, an oil pack and a seasoning pack. They weigh in at 300 calories or so and 17g of protein per serving. I add veggies for a fast and easy lunch or dinner side dish. The pumpkin is my fave! Get WhatIf noodles and plant milks online and on Amazon.

Paktli Puffed Amaranth Snacks – Paktli Foods puffed snacks are made with all natural organic ingredients. They’re packed with essential amino acids, dietary fiber and are a source of essential vitamins. They’re gluten free and preservative free with two vegan options and three soy free options. Paktli’s puffed snacks come in four varieties: 55% Bittersweet Chocolate with Dried Blueberries & Cacao Nibs, Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate and 70% Extra Dark Chocolate with Dried Cranberries & Cashews. The milk chocolate and bittersweet are my faves! Get Paktli online or on Amazon (affiliate link).

Hurdle Socks – I got to preview new Hurdle socks. They launch with a Black Friday sale on November 25. These socks have an innovative approach engineered with proprietary MicroGravity Matrix ™ embedded between the fibers of their yarn for unrivaled support and cushioning. Benefits include “an anatomical design offering a custom fit feel,” micro air channels breathability, blister protection and antimicrobial finishing. They are super comfy for Pilates, running and walking. These socks launch soon and I’ll be back with the 411 and a giveaway!

FlipBelt Capri Tights – You may have seen or tried the FlipBelt which is a band style running belt that fits a large phone and more. They sent me their capris to try. They have two large pockets on the side and an integrated FlipBelt waistband incorporates both form and function. They have anti-chafe flat seams and breathable moisture wicking material. They’ve thought of everything – there’s a key holder and the option of a zip pocket or traditional band. They have full length tights and shorts, too. Get 20% off on all FlipBelt items with code ERICAAGRAN20.
