We love vegetable juice. We’re those people you see sipping from a bottle of a green juice while running errands, cooling off after an intense Vinyasa class, and scrolling though emails at work. What don’t we love about some juices? The added sugar and unpronounceable ingredients that plague so many juices! We also don’t like it when companies show you a “green juice” thats actually loaded with fruits and barely has any veggies! Luckily, SaladPower avoids all that bad stuff- they sell the world’s first drinkable salad & they always put nutrient dense superfoods first. Here’s six reasons why you’ll be drinking your salad:
1.) 100% Natural, 100% Non-GMO Certified Ingredients: No funky preservatives, artificial flavors, or added sugar in this bottle! Just pure veggie goodness.
2.) Drink your veggies: Every bottle of Salad Power contains a nutrient dense, superfood blend of Kale, Carrot, Spinach, Tomato, Bell Pepper, Celery and Cucumber! This superfood blend is always the first ingredient in every flavor – this keeps their flavors vitamin rich and low in calories & sugar!
3.) Four Delicious Flavors: Choose from classic Just Veggies, or if you crave a little fruit try +Apple, +Pineapple, or +Mango!
4.) Low Calorie & Sugar: Get a boost of vitamins and nutrients for only 60 calories and 9 grams of sugar per bottle with their Just Veggies flavor!
5.) They Know Nutrition. SaladPower’s founders worked painstakingly to come up with a juice that passed the sniff test of any super health, nutrition nut ! They were very scientific & nutritionally aware with their approach and the results are awesome !

This blog post was written by our partners, Enerchi Bites! We love them and hope you will too.- Fit Snack
Enerchi Bites is re-defining the energy bar. How often to you actually eat the whole bar?
Twin sisters, and co-founding duo, Annie and Marla, solved the problem of having to break off a piece and made it easy for you to have a couple bites and or share with a friend.
They also only the added good stuff to their products–superfoods like chia seeds and hemp seed protein, and real-food ingredients like organic unsulphured apple rings and sunflower seeds. Each ingredient adds value to the nutritional and taste profile.
Enerchi bites are free of soy, dairy, and nuts! All the bites are soft and chewable (imagine cookie dough texture) so they are kid-friendly and pre-molar teeth friendly. Now, you don’t have to hesitate to give them to your kids or include them in their school lunch boxes. Enerchi bites are the perfect mid-day snack, giving you not just an opportunity to re-fuel your body, but to also re-fuel your mind. Their zen logo represents the symbol of chi.
It symbolizes and reminds you to take a breath, and a moment to yourself to reflect, munch mindfully, and then voila, the chi, also known as, “vital energy” will flow through you with less effort, and more ease.

Thanksgiving is a day for quality time with friends and family. Sure, the food is delicious, but the special thing about this holiday is the emphasis on thankfulness. Spice up the usual “What are you thankful for?” dinner question and ask your family “WHO are you thankful for?” Make sure the people you count on know how much you care. We’ll start the conversation:
Who is the Fit Snack Team thankful for?
Rose Muniz (Founder)
I’m thankful for so many people, but to keep this short and sweet, I’ll share 3 who are top of mind.
- The love of my life Justin. He is my best friend and favorite man to hang with. He’s taught me to balance my life with quality time, relaxation, fun adventures, and amazing conversations. He also eats healthy like me, so keeping a nutritious diet is a piece of cake in our house.
- I’m also thankful for my sister and BFF Anita. We enjoy many of the same things and always have the best time hangin together. She is one of my partners in Fit Snack. Everyday that I get to work with her on it, I think of the fact that we have built a company that we can both stand behind, be proud of and enjoy.
- I’m thankful for my mom. She is one of my biggest cheerleaders and supporters. She is always there when I want someone to talk to and she is working so hard to make life better and better.

I’m thankful for my boyfriend, John. He challenges me to get out of my comfort zone and explore! I’d never camped a night in my life before we met. Now, we go on camping and backpacking trips whenever we can!
