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 $15/month and you can cancel your subscription any time if you find that you aren't enjoying your box.
Fact: I am a sucker for all things peanut butter. I mean, if I could eat my weigh in peanut butter I would be happy! I pretty much squealed when I saw the Dark Chocolate Dreams in this month's StrideBox. The Dark Chocolate Dreams spread is the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter (think of that REALLY delicious candy) that you can smear onto whatever your little heart desires: pretzels, bananas, toast, or whatever else you can think of! |
Boom's Carb Boom Gel is a caffeinated energy gel that gives you a complex carbs needed in your run for a steady energy release to keep you going. What sets Boom apart is that they are flavored with real fruit puree and concentrate along with no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Unlike a lot of runners, I am not a gel girl by any means. There is something about the texture that gets me and I just can't do it, so I have to resort to alternative means of fuel on my long runs, so this is a sample that I will be passing along to a friend for them to try out. |
Honestly, one of the dreaded words of running is "blisters"! First, blisters are just gross (being totally honest), plus they can hurt like crazy! I used to be very prone to blisters until I started running in my PRO Compression socks, but event still, those pesky little things would tend to pop up. The science of blisters is pretty simple - friction creates blisters. 2Toms Blister Shield is a powder that goes into your sock and creates a virtually frictionless surface to keep your feet dry and blister free. Outside of running, this would be great for those vacations where you are on your feet tons (think amusement parks or cities where you do sightseeing and tours by foot). |
The Ultima Replenisher is an electrolyte drink mix that comes in a power form that you mix with water to create a replenishment of your electrolytes on the run and staying hydrated. I am keeping it real, I am a nuun girl. I love my nuun and it has been faithful to my body and my workouts, so it is my go to and not something that I am looking to replace. |
Speaking of nuun, one of the newest products to the nuun product line is nuun Vitamins. nuun are tabs that you add to your water made with plant based ingredients and are gluten-free, vegan, and soy/dairy free. With nuun vitamins, you will get 11 vitamins and minerals most of us don’t get enough of plus electrolytes to get you through the day. I don't know about you, but I am not passing up any chance to get some extra vitamins in me. Oh, and nuun Vitamins come in 6 tasty flavors such as blueberry pomegranate and ginger lemonade, so CHEERS! |
More peanut butter in my StrideBox, YES PLEASE! I have been loyal to my pre-race bar for years now, but I am totally down for something to use when I am on the go and need a meal replacement. The Jimmy Bar is under 300 calories (varies by flavor) and keeps you full for 4 hours. These are perfect for those days where I am on the go running errands and only have fast food options! |
