New Day New Post

OK, so I dont think that my pictures will upload at work so I am going to have to invest some time at home. When I got home from work today boy was I surprised. I came home to three lovely packages.

I got a box from Pom Wonderful, Navitas Naturals and Acai Roots. Can you say "YES!!!!" I was so siked. I opened the boxes to find out what I had gotten.

First I opened the Pom Wonderful and found a envelope with my name on it. There lay letter inside telling me about the care package that they had sent me and some great info on the product. I must say, this is the fastest company to ever respond and send me their product ever. I got 8 bottles of 100% pomegranate juice! I was so happy. I put it right in the fridge to let them chill.




How cute! I love how portable these little guys are! I can put them right into my purse or in the car!

I decided that will all my new ingredients I would make a great smoothie. First I decide that I would try the juice out by itself so that I could see what it really tasted like.
I opened the bottle and took a sip! WOW! What a truly WONDERFUL taste! I immediately started to think about all the great things this juice would taste good with. I am 100% happy with this product. The company was amazing and they deliver a awesome product. I cant wait to have the next one!



The next box that I opened was from Navitas Naturals. This box had a Letter to me as well as a superfoods recipes booklet and dictionary of sorts with info about the items they sold and nutrional information. I was wowed but this. This made me take them seriously. I got some Raw Cacao nibs, Palm Powder and Goji Berries. It was such a well thought out package. All of which I love!



















These products made me smile. I love the packaging and the logo is great. Very pleasing to the eye. I knew exactly what I was going to do with these. I was going to make a smoothie. I was especially excited about the palm powder. I had never herd of such. Thank you Wes for the package it was great to get it today. I give them 4 stars baby! Yeah. I will be ordering some things this week! I loved the booklets too! You guys are great.

Last but by far not the least is my friends. Acai Roots. I say that because through e-mails and even getting my packages I felt like if I needed anything I could ask. I know that sounds funny but truthfully I contacted them. They responded quickly and was super generous in my opinon with what they had sent me. This company didnt skimp on the product. They have quite a few things so I understand why they would want me to try a few out. Thanks guys The first package that I received was the Acai puree to make smoothies and acai bowls. I Tried this out yesterday because I got those a day early. First thing that I noticed when I opened the container it was so purple and bright but dark. Very appealing. I had never seen acai that looked so potent if you will. I let it thaw out and had me a few bites and all I could think about is how I wanted it with banana and granola. I didnt have those two things so I decided that I would just enjoy what I had. It was refreshing and sweet but not sugary like other products out there. It was a spoonful of goodness. I told myself to wait for the other products and then knock my socks off with a smoothie from heaven. So that is what I did. Today I got some pro Acai juice Smoothies and some Acai Powder. I was so ready!











What I then decided to do was put them all away, chill and sit together. I then went swimming and for a short bike ride....When I got home I was ready to dig in. I decided that I would make that smoothie. This is what I used.
I used:
1/2 cup of Acai Puree
2 Table spoons of Acai Powder
1 and a half cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
2 cuos of Spinach
2 table spoons of Raw Cocao Nibs
1 handful of Gogi Berries
1 Table spoon of Palm Powder
8 oz of Pom Wonderful Juice
and
Ice

This what I got:





I added chopped banana and strawberry with some granola on top. This was the BEST THING I HAVE TASTED EVER! My new favorite. All these products rock and made for the best smoothie/acai bowl ever. I managed to use every item I had gotten except for the prepackaged smoothies from Acai Roots. I am in awe! This could not have been a better way to end a great night. Yum!

So yes, thanks to all of you from Pom Wonderful, Navitas Naturals and Acai Roots. You were so good to me!
