Thanks to everyone that entered!
It's time for a Giveaway!
I'm a big fan of plant foods, and the more I look into it, the more impressed I become.
Most plants are high in some nutrients and those that are commonly known as 'superfoods' tend to be packed with beneficial and protective phytochemicals, such as antioxidants.
Two such foods that I use often and keep stocked in the Sana store are raw cacao and maca.
We have gone to quite a bit of bother in sourcing organic and ethically produced cacao and maca.
The maca, particularly, is special. There is a lot of variation in maca potency and the stuff we have is both high altitude grown Chacon genus and sun-dried in the traditional manner in Peru. It comes from a family run business that has been growing maca for many generations.
You can read more about maca here, and cacao here.
So, what's up for grabs?
There are two prize packs (two winners)
Each prize pack contains one of each of our 100gram packs of cacao nibs and maca powder
The prize packs also contain something else that I can't live without:
Dagoba Superfruit Chocolate (this makes most excellent brownies, BTW) ;)
Although I will love you forever if you tweet, facebook or blog this giveaway, it's not necessary.
To enter, simply leave a comment on this post
If you can't think of anything to comment me about, just tell me what you'd like to see more of on Fit to Blog or give me an idea for a blog post.
*************************************************
If you are a blogger*, I will double the cacao and maca part of the prize so that you have one of each to give away
on your own blog (see special conditions for
this part of the giveaway below)
**********************************
*Giveaway rules: The additional pack for bloggers is only available to bloggers from NZ and Aussie, sorry. The giveaway is otherwise open to anyone from anywhere in the world. The winners will be drawn by random number generator at 5pm in Saturday 4th August 2012, Auckland time.
Im in and I have a blog when I remember how to get on it lol.....
ReplyDeleteYou do? Is it a top secret one that even your oldest friends aren't allowed to read then?
DeleteME ME ME I WANT THIS!!!! 2 of my favourite things EVER.... oh you are the BEST for delicious give aways ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, think this might be my first comment on your blog... Have been enjoying your posts. Thanks in particular for your mention of Terry Wahls' Minding Your Mitochondria video a while back. Both hubby and I watched it and have since bought her book. Great stuff. Cheers, Charlotte
ReplyDeleteLove a freebie especially when it's something as delicious as maca or cacao :).
ReplyDeleteWell I read more about maca on your link but I still don't know what to do with it. Will you ship it with recipes if I win? ;-) Hope to catch up soon..
ReplyDeleteChristine
I see what you mean. I guess I've been around maca for so long that I just assumed everyone knows about it. You can take it however. In smoothies, mixed in water, in baking. It has a taste that is unique and takes a bit of getting used to. I will revise the page to give some basic instruction. Thanks for pointing it out.
DeleteMe too Im in for any thing healthy and free
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cacao nibs and maca. This is great.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Sara - and some uses for maca powder would be fantastic. I know from Kek that it has a really strong taste!
ReplyDeleteIt must be like when you first try something as a young child and it's so unfamiliar you don't know what to think. I wasn't sure about it for ages. It's very distinct and isn't like anything else at all.
DeleteI totally missed this yesterday - in my defence, I'm S.I.C.K. Blogging about it right now....
ReplyDeleteYou know I love cacao nibs and maca. Chocolate though? I don't like that at all. :p
If you win, I will send broccoli seeds instead of chocolate. They won't grow because AQIS will want to irradiate them,but it's the thought that counts, right? :D
DeleteDon't you DARE.
DeleteI don't normally enter blog contests but the lure of cacao is too strong.
ReplyDeleteCacao nibs are awesome! Have nottried maca though!
ReplyDeleteI have only tried cacao nibs once, really wasnt sure what to do with them (ended up sprinkling on rapsberries and greek yoghurt, I should look into what else to actually use them for!
ReplyDeleteNice blog btw :)
Hi Sara,
ReplyDeleteI have recently started using macca powder, waiting to see if it changes anything. I have been looking at cacao nibs recently and coming up with interesting gf and sf recipes to use them in. A packet from you would get me started on my baking adventures and I would be happy to share the recipes.
Great blog.
Thanks
Emma
Mmm, I want to try cacoa nibs! I'll go pimp your giveaway on FB :)
ReplyDeleteWow I have never heard of any of those products!
ReplyDeleteReally? Well, I'm sure there are a lot of things you use in your artwork and sewing that make me go.. mmm? I've been in the fitness and health industry a looong time and sometimes forget that what is normal here is really not so much in the real world.
DeleteI've never tried cacoa nibs or macca powder ... would love to try them.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara,
ReplyDeleteI have recently been recommended your blog by a friend of mine and I love it! Very interesting. I am attempting to try new and wonderful superfoods in my daily diet especially in creating some wild and wacky baked goods. I think these cacao nibs and macca powder would be an awesome addition to my pantry and I'd love to win the prize. Thanks for the great blogs and looking forward to following :)

Wild and wacky definitely describes some of the stuff that comes out of my kitchen. Another adjective sometimes used is: inedible, but never mind that... ;)
