Congratulations to GiGi for winning the iHerb shopping spree!

Happy shopping!

Every time I turn around iHerb.com is adding something new to their online store. Lucky for us, I’ve been running around in circles these days because they’ve been very, very busy stocking their virtual shelves with new products.

On my next iHerb.com shopping spree here’s what I’ll be adding to my shopping cart:

• Carlson’s Fish Oil. If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of fish oil and I’m brand loyal to the Carlson’s fishing line.
• Xtend. If you see me in the gym, chances are you’ll see me sipping this stuff. Powdered, great tasting Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) that you just add to water and shake. Lemonade is my favorite flavor.
• Justin’s Nut Butter. If you’ve been reading Fitness & Spice for a while you know I am nuts about Justin’s line of peanut and almond butters. iHerb has it in stock and at a great price.
• Erewhon, Organic Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice Cereal. This cereal is one of the latest additions to the Attune Foods line of cereals and I haven’t found it locally yet so I’m thrilled to be able to purchase it at iHerb right now.
• Source Naturals Life Force Multiple Vitamins. This is the multivitamin I take when I remember to take my multivitamin.

I have grown to appreciate iHerb.com for their customer service, fast delivery, and ever-growing product offerings. All that, and from time to time they send me some new products to try. In fact, a few weeks ago they sent me a packet of Madre Labs, CocoCardio, a cocoa and beet powder supplement you can make into a hot cocoa-like drink, or just toss into protein shakes like I’ve been doing. Thank you, iHerb!

Congratulations to Lily for winning the $50 iHerb shopping spree!

Be sure to check out iHerb.com for your natural supplements, skin care, and baking needs…by the way, did you see they carry Bob’s Red Mill? I’m such a fan!

Just a reminder, first time iHerb customers get $5 off their first order when you enter SUT360 at checkout! Happy shopping!

I am one of those people that does my best to eat a balanced diet but I take a few supplements to make sure I’m getting all the nutrients I need. Therefore, I take things like a multi-vitamin, fish oil, and a greens supplement just about everyday. I’d take them everyday if I’d just remember to take my smart pills, as my mother would say!

If you read the “about” section of Fitness & Spice you will recall that I’m just your average Jo(anna). I am not a dietitian, a personal trainer, a rock star (ok, scratch that, I am a rock star), or a doctor…and I do not  play one on my blog. What I am is a healthy-living fanatic! That being said, these are my personal choices and I’d recommend talking to your doctor before adding supplements to your diet. [End disclaimer.]

When iHerb suggested I try out their Web site, I was intrigued by their description:

iHerb is an online company that is a reseller and we carry close to 18,000 natural products, including vitamins, herbal supplements, skincare products, grocery items and more.

They had me at natural products.

So I went on a mini-shopping spree compliments of iHerb. I was happy to find many of the brands I trust were offered on their site so I picked up my Source Naturals Multi-Vitamins, Carlson’s Fish Oil, and Greens Plus Wild Berry Burst.

When I go back to shop iHerb again, I’m picking up some more Bragg’s Liquid Aminos that I told you about last week and some NOW Guar Gum,  a natural thickening agent that turns things like my protein shakes into soft serve-like ice cream like magic!

If you want to start shopping at iHerb, too, I don’t blame you one bit. First time iHerb shoppers get $5 off their order when you enter SUT360 at checkout.

Want to WIN a $50 shopping spree at iHerb.com? Then simply use the word HERB in a sentence. Be sure to leave your enrty in the comments section by 11:59 P.M. EST on Wednesday, January 20. You can do it! Just take your smart pills!

Now this rock star really must go take my multi-vitamin, drink my protein shake, and hit the free weight room to lift a little heavy metal.
