Do Just That {Giveaway CLOSED}

By 485 Comments

So while I was in Target the other day buying pumpkin waffles, I also happened to come across a few other goodies…one of which is this Planters Nut-rition Energy Mix peanut butter.

IMG_8076

It was on sale and I had a coupon (which was supposed to be off of two but I still got the deal anyway – score!) so I figured I’d give it a shot since the cinnamon, raisin, granola nut combo sounded wayyyy up my alley.

I enjoyed a glob of it mid-morning today along with a golden delicious apple.

IMG_8081

The verdict? It’s pretty good. I’m not sure I’d buy it again, but I’ll definitely finish up the jar. I don’t think I’d enjoy it on a sandwich (then again, who knows?) but I do like it as a dipper.

A couple of hours later, I took a break from some work since hubby came home for lunch and put together a big ‘ol yogurt bowl for myself. It was just sounding too good at that moment to pass up.

I paired a plain Chobani (plus 3 spoonfuls of vanilla chocolate chunk CHO mixed in) with some fresh blueberries, raspberries, and a mix of Cascadian Farms and Love Grown Foods granola.

Of course, as soon as I put my bowl down, Cody was right there to keep watch over it.

IMG_8084

So as I mentioned, that lovely bowl right there included some of my granola EVER – the LOVE.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago when I received a very fun and generous Love Drop in the mail.

Well, to be honest, I’m starting to acquire more granola than I can consume. Crazy, right? Well, since I’m the only granola eater in the house, it starts to pile up pretty quickly, so I figured that since Love Grown is all about “spreading the love,” today would be as good a day as any to go ahead and do just that.

So I’m going to go ahead and give away some Love Grown granola goodness to three lucky STSL readers. Just leave a nice and positive comment below and you’ll be entered to win.

I always love reading all of your positive thoughts and stuff anyways. Winking smile

I’ll announce the winners in my afternoon post tomorrow. Good luck!!

Thanks to everyone who entered my giveaway and shared all of your positive comments – I loved reading ALL of them! Congrats to our three lucky winners…

  1. I have seen that nut butter in the grocery store and was tempted to buy it.. even though I am just in love with Trader Joe's crunchy pb. I need to get on the granola bandwagon.. I just have yet to find one I really love and looks like this one is a hit! So sweet of you to 'spread the love'! Happy Thursday :)

  10. You know, I need to remember that the cure for a bad day or a grumpy mood is a good workout. I left work yesterday a total sour faced beast. After I left the gym? Happy and skippy! Nothing beats a good sweat!

  13. I love that you are having so many giveaways recently! I've never tried that granola, but I am a granola lover so I'm sure I'd love it! And thanks for the Planters Nut-rition Energy Mix peanut butter review. I always see it when I go to the grocery store and go back and forth if I want to buy it or not. Looks like I'll at least wait until it's on sale to give it a try! Even if it's not ideal for sandwiches, it might be great in recipes :)

  23. Happy Thursday!!! It's almost Friday...and I love granola. And I'm not sure if this is positive or "less than positive" (since it's taken me so long), but I tried my VERY FIRST Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte this morning. Yay me!!!! =)

  24. Positive thought for me? I get to go home to see my family next weekend! Granted its only been 3 weeks but I still miss them!

  25. I recently tried the peanut butter and completely agree, it was great on the celery I had, but I don't know how I would feel about it on a pb&j. And I have to say, my reactions to your posts always make me feel a little sheepish. Whenever you talk about a new find (waffles, granola, etc.) I always think I WANT THAT and plan how quickly I can get myself to Target :-)

  42. Sometime I scare myself with how much granola I can consume. I've starting making my own but somehow it never quite measures up to the deliciousness of Love Grown's!

  55. I used to make a batch of homemade granola every week and then I stopped and haven't added it back in my routine. Needless to say I'm in desperate need of some good and health(ier) granola!

  59. I love that peanut butter with my oatmeal and as added ingredient in protein balls I make! gives it a sweet and salty taste

  60. Thanks so much for spreading the love! I haven't ever tried the granola, but it looks wonderful. And thanks for all your hard work and blogging efforts - you are a great role model.
    Reply

  61. I've been eyeing that granola ever since you posted about receiving in the mail! And I'm so glad that I found your blog! I admire you for your openness about HA and becoming healthy by letting yourself gain some weight and not be so focused on the scale and overly excessive exercise. Honestly, that's what a healthy living blog should be about. Some of the healthy living blogs don't have a good balance between working out and eating normal sized portions which can actually give a false sense of health. Love you and your blog!
    Reply

  63. I tried that same flavor of NUT-rition and LOVED it! But I get what you're saying about not liking it on a sandwich. I only used it for dipping, but mostly just ate it with a spoon. ;) Also, I've just recently started adding granola into my life (I used to be afraid of the calories, how dumb??!) and would LOVE a chance to try the famous Love Grown that I've heard so much about! Thanks for the inspiration and smiles that you give through your blog. It's definitely one of my very favorites!

  67. Hi Courtney! I love reading your blog and admire your moderation approach to health. I have never really tried using granola, but I'm sure I would love it on my greek yogurt!
    Reply

  72. That peanut butter does look delicious but I'm with you on certain kinds only being in certain places. If it's anything other than "normal" I'm funny about putting it on a sandwhich. On a positive note, it's Thursday which means tomorrow is Friday! Woohoo! And you are one fantastic blogger who is sweet enough to "share the Love" with the granola giveaway :)

  74. I just started reading your blog a week ago and I think you're awesome! I have been thinking about getting certified through NASM for the past couple months and reading about your experience with the studying material and your personal training career has given me the little push I needed to place my order! Thank you!

  86. Yay! granola! I'm not sure if this counts but did you see the story of the little boy and the girl with cancer? A boy of 8 won some prize money ( a lot) and gave it all for the little girl next door's cancer treatment! So beautiful :) Man, if only all of us could be like him... anyhow thanks for the giveaway girl!

  98. I saw that new peanut butter at Target a few days ago too! I was soo close to buying it but since I always give in to the urge to buy nut butters that I haven't tried yet (and now they are stockpiling in my pantry), I decided I wasn't allowed to buy another nut butter until I finished some others. I'm often the same way with granola, but right now I'm running low so I could actually use some Love Grown :) Plus it's hard to come by around me ;)

  117. I'm a huge granola fan and have been meaning to trying Love Grown for ages now. As for the positive comment, I've been meaning to say this for awhile now. I LOVE your pictures of Cody - I'm a total cat person and I always feel in the minority because everybody else seems to be a dog-lover (I like dogs, too!). Cat-lovers need to stick together :)

PS Random but I've been meaning to comment this anyway- your buffalo mac & cheese recipe...let's just say, I made it once and now my husband literally has dreams about it. He even asked me to make it for his birthday this year...and he NEVER asks me to make him a special meal! He said it's probably one of the best things he's ever ate. Thanks for the recipe :)

  220. Hehe I love how your house is all decorated for the fall! I'm still running around in shorts and tank tops so I'm not feeling it so much as of now. bummer...However, I am noticing that sweet potatoes are tasting mighty good lately! I tried love grown granola for the first time at HLS and I must say, they were mighty tasty! Hope you're doing well, Courtney!

  224. I would love to try some Love Grown granola - I've seen it at a few stores, and it looks DEEELICIOUS! *I've tried the Berry Nut Planters Nut-trition peanut butter...it's really good, but I agree with you that it's better as a dip than a sandwich spread. Not sure I'll buy it again though, the ingredients aren't as great as I'd like (added sugar, etc...)
    Reply

  227. I've always wanted to try that peanut butter, especially the one with banana bits in it, but it's too darn expensive for me to justify, especially when the TJ's PB with Flax is half the price! My new obsession instead of PB on apples though is the cinnamon laughing cow cream cheese wedges :)

  259. I finally feel like fall is here! For some reason granola makes me feel cozy and warm like fall..here are some things that made me happy today: my pumpkin on my desk a fleece blanket I have at work to keep me warm (the office is colder than it is outside) knowing I can go home and snuggle tonight with my bf!!

  295. I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you for doing the right thing for your body after your HA diagnosis. I have recently been experiencing very similar symptoms to HA and I knew that I was not giving my body the amount of fuel it needed to sustain the amount of exercise i was doing. I have been at war with myself for quite sometime about how to change my lifestyle; i simply couldn't fathom the idea of not exercising or eating more that i was. Your blog posts about dealing with HA have really inspired me to do what is right for my body, despite the fact that it means that I have to gain a little bit of weight. It is comforting to know that this isn't the end of the world. Being healthy is what is most important and you helped me to realize that!! thank you so much!

  297. I would LOVE to try this granola, since I never have and you always give it rave reviews! I thoroughly look forward to your posts everyday and think you are one of the most 'real' bloggers out there! Keep up the wonderful posts :)

So thank you! Also, I am now a fan of blueberry munchkins thanks to this blog. They're a perfect little treat! And the nice lady at Dunkin Donuts gave me four of them for free! Made it even sweeter!

  307. Mmm, I've never tried that pb before but it sounds like the PB&Co. Cinnamon Raisin pb which was sooo tasty on apples and bananas. I've also never tried the Love granola before and would love to! Haha I was just at Target yesterday and I can seriously spend so long in there just looking at all the stuff I would want to buy if I had an endless supply of money ;-) Have a great night!

  308. I just want to say that I love how open and honest you are on your blog about HA and learning that healthy might mean different things for different people. Anyway, I'd love to win some granola! I LOVE Love Grown Foods Granola but I cant afford to buy it regularly. *tear*

  323. I was skeptical of the NUT*rition when I saw it on the shelves, but I love the banana granola nut and the berry nut. They are really good in overnight oats! I also use them in my energy bites. On another note, I love granola. I make my own, but some days I don't have enough time to restock my supply. I love your blog, by the way. I love how you keep everything real.

  324. I've only ever bought LoveGrown once (hey, hey college budget) but the chocolate one is delicious and I'd love the opportunity to try more flavors! Like many commenters, your blog makes me smile daily. It's the perfect mix of lighthearted, yet honest :)

  340. I'm the only granola eater in my house too so I rarely get to buy it because I'll devour the whole bag way too quickly on my own.

  343. Love nut butter's - peanut, almond, any kind. I want to try cashew sometime as well. I eat them every day and sometimes get a little out of hand. Same goes with the granola, I like to make my own, but find it 'disappears' to quickly haha.

  380. Reading your blog always brightens up my day! I can't even tell you how many times I've gone to your blog only to be inspired to try out a new workout or new recipe. By the way, I recently tried Love Grown after seeing it all over your blog.. I'm obsessed! But they don't carry it in any stores near me.. this giveaway could sure help a sister out ;)

  381. That PB does look interesting, I would give it a try too and I think I have a cupon as well! I'm going to make your pumpkin rice crispy treats for my housewarming party saturday as long as I can find the marshmellows at Target tomorrow! I saw love grown granola at Marshalls the other day and I was soooo close to buying it bc of you! Thanks for the giveaway :)

  390. Hi Courtney! I really enjoy reading your blog with great workouts and yummy treats! I have been reading a lot about love grown granola but have not had the chance to try it yet. I have greek yogurt with cinnamon and a stevia packet for breakfast in the morning and I think some love grown would be an added bonus! Thank you for being so generous with your granola as well as sharing all your health and fitness knowledge : )

  393. Oh man that nut butter looks so good, but after hearing what you had to say maybe I won't spend the money unless its on uber sale! I have only had Love Grown once and LOVE it! Unfortunately none of our grocery stores here carry it:(. Have a fantastic night.

  395. Courtney -- I just love your blog! I stumbled across it a few weeks ago and have checked it faithfully since then :) I love your outlook on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and learning to use *healthy* fats to pump up your cooking. I'd love some granola to try! :)

  397. I really love your blog! It is so great to read about how you live healthy while not being too strict about your diet and going overboard on exercise. So inspiring!

  401. I just bought the Nutrition Berry Nut Mix and I like it. Not a huge fan to the Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Flaxseed, but it still is quite tasty and fulfills my peanut butter needs. Also, I've always wanted to try Love Grown Granola. Still on a search of where I can find it in my location. Hope you're having a wonderful day!

  409. Yum granola, I have 2 weeks left till my thesis is due and I am spending soooo much time on the computer which is not great but I love your little daily posts and some tough yoga sessions at the home of yoga Mosman Park, Perth to keep me going and somewhat sane. Oh and if you wana send that granola my way as a study snack I wouldn't be complaining…oh no you would not hear any complaints here!!!!! :)

  428. Positive thought - it's Friday! Woohoo! On a more serious note, I've had so many moments this week when I had the opportunity to appreciate how loving my boyfriend, parents, and family members are. I feel so lucky to have such a strong support system! PS I have been DYING to try Love Granola but can never find it anywhere!

  429. Although it's pouring outside today in Mass (I'm sure it is in New York too), I'm so happy it's Friday!! I'm entering my company's bake off this week so I need to do some experimenting this weekend - I'm looking forward to it :)
