While every product might not be the best fit for you, you can typically find a friend that might want to try it out instead. The best part about StrideBox is that it is just $19.95/month and you can cancel your subscription any time if you find that you aren't enjoying your box.
Each month when I receive my StrideBox, I am honestly like a kid on Christmas morning. I absolutely cannot wait to rip into my box and see what kind of goodies await me.
As I have mentioned in previous months, I am always looking for great (and nutritional) snacks to keep in my purse and/or gym bag. Being on the go ALL THE TIME means that I need to make sure to get a snack in between work and the gym most nights. Skratch Labs Energy Bars are a great tasty snack for anytime, but give you the energy you need to crush your run or workout. I cannot wait to try this out before my workout next week. I mean, hello chocolate chip and almond! |
Bzzz Beans are a energy snack created from single-origin coffee and cacao beans. We can probably all use a little extra boost from time to time and if caffeine is your thing, each packet of Bzzz Beans has as much caffeine as 2 cups of coffee. With that said, enjoy how ever many you need (just not too many). I am about to get rocks thrown at me, I know it. So....in my 30+ years of life, I have NEVER had a cup of coffee. I love the smell of it, but don't enjoy the taste. I will be passing this sample along to one of my coffee-loving friends to enjoy instead. |
Bumbleroot is probably one of the most unique products that I have received in a StrideBox. Made with combine real, nutrient-dense foods from around the world, Bumbleroot is a hydration mix to add electrolytes, antioxidants and flavor to your water bottle. How about it also contains 27% of your recommended daily value of potassium. I have my favorite electrolyte replacement hydration, so I am not too inclined to really switch things up at this time. Typically when I find electrolyte mixes in my StrideBox I pass them along to friends who might be interested in the product. I do have to say though, the Turmeric Ginger flavor is quite interesting sounding and something that I will probably give a shot. |
Not to sound super cliche or anything, but isn't fall the season of pumpkin? Since I am not a coffee drinker as I mentioned earlier, I have to get my pumpkin spice fix through other snacks. Lucky me, I get to try out Hi FiBar's Pumpkin Spice Orange granola in this month's StrideBox. Inside of this granola mix are some of my favorite things: almonds, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and more! High fiber, low carbs, and zero added sugar makes this a great snack to throw in my bag for that mid-day snack between work and the gym! |
The struggle chaffing is real. For runners, hikers, and cyclists alike, making sure your skin is protected is a common priority. There aren't many things worse than that burn of chaffing happening in the middle of a long run...well, maybe a greasy feeling from some other anti-chafe products. Rushield is a all-natural, sweat & water resistant, SPF 32 sunscreen and anti-chafing cream all in one. Made from non-micronized zinc oxide, beeswax, and a premium natural oil blend, there is no need to worry about a greasy residue. My favorite part? The fact that this is a 2-in-1 product that will help prevent chaffing and protect my skin from the sun's rays while on the run. |
With the days being shorter and the sun going down before many of us get home in the evening, a lot more runners will be out logging their miles in the dusk/dark hours of the day. Runner safety is something that I am a HUGE advocate for so any time I get my hands on gear that makes my runs safer, I am pumped. This month's StrideBox included a LED clip-on light that is perfect for shoes, watches, shorts, running belt, etc. PLEASE, please make sure you are easily visible on your run no matter what time of the day, but especially on those dark runs. |
