Spread the Love: Love Grown Foods GIVEAWAY!!!

by simplylife on April 22, 2012

You know when there’s a food you just can’t get enough of?  That’s fun (and delicious), right?!

And you know when there’s a company that you can fully stand behind and want to support?  That’s a good feeling too, huh?

And when you can find a place that does both?  It’s amazing. I know.

Yeah, Love Grown Foods is just that…and so much more.

From the moment I corresponded via email with Maddy, the Founder and Chief Love Officer :) , and her positive emails were filled with phrases like “YOU ROCK” and “thanks for being AWESOME,” I was so impressed at how a company can really do what they say and “SPREAD the LOVE.”

Then, a giant box of LOVE arrived at my doorstep.  Filled to the brim with granola in every flavor, magnets, stickers and coupons with positive phrases peeking throughout, this was a package that definitely brightened my day (and every one of my mornings during breakfast since… :) )

The flavors are: Cocoa Goodness, Simply Oats, Apple Walnut Delight, Raisin Almond Crunch and Sweet Cranberry Pecan.

I cannot get enough.  Every bag is bursting with crunchy clusters, natural flavors, whole ingredients…and yes, love (it even says it below the ingredients list)!

Seriously though, this stuff is good.  Like coming home from a first date with your head in the clouds and butterflies in your stomach good.  The Raisin Almond Crunch has WHOLE almonds  (my favorite!) throughout the entire bag, the Cocoa Goodness is sweet enough to enjoy for breakfast or with vanilla frozen yogurt for dessert (yum!) and the Simply Oats (pictured below) shows how sometimes keeping things simple allows them to shine the most.

Oh and the best part?  They are not only generous enough to send all this LOVE my way, but want to SPREAD the LOVE to YOU!!!  One Simply Life reader will win:  3 big bags, mini bags in all 5 flavors, coupons, magnets, and clings!

To enter do any/all of the following and tell me in the comments (giveaway will be open through April 28; winner must have a US address):

1.  SPREAD the LOVE.  Tell me how you spread the love!  Is it through positive words, sharing healthy foods with others or taking care of the Earth on Earth Day?
2.  Visit Love Grown Foods and tell me something you learned from their site!
3.  Spread the Love on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway using @LoveGrowFoods & @SimplyLifeBlog! (Example: Enter to win @LoveGrownFoods #giveaway at @SimplyLifeBlog! http://www.simplylifeblog.com/?p=4736)

And if you want another chance of feelin’ the love, go here to learn about their awesome “love for love” deal!

Talk about a company that produces food that makes you feel great when eating it and inspires you to love yourself and others!  I think I’m in love…

    I like to spread the love by answering other students questions on the class online discussion board.

And hope others do so when I need it!
