Day 5 of 12 Days of Carlee's Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog TEN YEARS AGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.


Today is Day 5 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

Up for grabs today are: 5 boxes of PROBAR goodies.


For today, DAY FIVE, five winners will be selected, each winning a box of PROBAR goodies (either an Endurance Pack, a box of BOLT chews {strawberry} or a box of BASE bars {peanut butter chocolate}).

To say the hubby and I are #FueledByPROBAR would be an understatement. I'll have a BASE bar for breakfast before workouts, the hubby takes a MEAL bar with him to work for lunch every day, we both snack on FUEL bars when we're out and about, and I fuel my long runs with BOLT chews. Once you find something that works, stick with it, right?!


And now PROBAR is offering Nut Butters, oh, say it ain't so! I haven't tried any of them, but if their other products are a tell-tale sign of how AMAZING these are, I know my wallet is in for some trouble (but my taste buds will jump for joy).

We love PROBAR for oh so many reasons. Just a few of them are because they create delicious, convenient, healthy food products. Their ingredients are plant-based, coming from sustainable sources which have a small impact on the earth and a significant and positive impact on our bodies. PROBAR doesn't compromise when it comes to quality, and their Non-GMO Project Verified products are proof that packaged food can maintain quality, sustainability, purity and taste. Not only that, PROBAR uses certified organic ingredients in their products.


Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 11th at 11:59pm PST and the FIVE winners will be chosen on December 12th.

And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the FIVE lucky winners, you can still use coupon code "MCDOT16" for 15% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So go get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process!

  77. Shakes or bars. I am not too picky. If I don't fuel properly for a race and a spectator is giving out something like pretzels or candy, I'll eat that too. At my turkey trot, someone was giving out homemade pumpkin bread...I was hungry & it was awesome. I am a slower runner and for the NYC marathon, I didn't bring enough fuel and a spectator was giving out full sized kit kat bars. I dedicate my finish to that awesome spectator and kit kat ;)

    ReplyDelete
  78. I go for a granola bar or a protein bar. Also a big glass of milk.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I've wanted to try these for ages, but to be honest I normally just run in the morning before I even eat.... oops! :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. Variety of fuels...Huma Gel, Vega, Clif and Gu. Depends on the flavor too.

    ReplyDelete

  82. honey stinger gels and waffles! Gu is last resort:)

    ReplyDelete
  83. Clif Bars and Shotbloks! I try to avoid all goo-ey foods during runs. Bars are great for post-run recovery!!!
