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 11 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are absolutely AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series (and somehow rig it so I'd win) because they are just that AWESOMESAUCE.
Up for grabs today are: 11 boxes of PROBAR goodies.
For today, DAY ELEVEN, eleven winners will be selected, each winning a box of my favorite PROBAR goodies.
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?!
Now they offer Nut Butters! I've tried them all and they're DELISH with a capital D! (It's perfect on a banana for a snack!)

We love PROBAR for oh so many reasons. Just a few of them are because they create delicious, convenient and 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. So much goodness in those little packages!
Because PROBAR ROCKS MY SOCKS (and because I was able to sweet talk my contact into hooking you up), eleven winners will grab a case of one of my favorite products - which I have narrowed down (although that was incredibly hard, truth be told) to BOLT Chews, BASE Bars or Nut Butters! There is a plethora of flavors in each of those three categories (although my favorite BOLT Chews are the Pink Lemonade or Strawberry, my favorite BASE Bars are the Frosted Peanut Butter or Frosted Coconut, and my favorite Nut Butter is the Superfood Almond Butter) so there's something for everyone!

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!)
a Rafflecopter giveaway 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 random 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 17th at 11:59pm PST and the ELEVEN winners will be chosen on December 18th.
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!)!

ReplyDeleteOatmeal before long runs and gu on the run
ReplyDeleteI love Probar gummies! Those or honey stinger waffles are great for me prior to runs. My stomach can't handle much more than that.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm always trying to figure it out still. I've had luck with Honey Stingers and Gu, but after a training season I get burnt out on them and hate them. You've said a lot of good about ProBar and I actually just picked some up to give them a whirl!
ReplyDeleteIt used to be candy corn. Then I got pregnant and they suddenly tasted like the worst things ever. My son is almost 2 and I have not gone back. Now I try to get in extra fiber and protein as much as possible.

ReplyDeleteStart with whole grain waffle and peanut butter. Then just water and gu/gel during, but I would like to try ProBar!
ReplyDeleteMy go-to for long runs is some energy gels or an electrolyte drink. My stomach is kind of sensitive, so I always have to watch how much I fuel while I'm running.
ReplyDeleteI use swedish fish and gatorade :)
ReplyDeleteI currently eat half a toasted English muffin with peanut butter and a banana before a long run. during I'll have chews or gels.
ReplyDeleteI love the Probar Bolt chews for hiking! yum!
I carry dense food bars that won't melt in the heat, and that have some fiber, protein and fat to get me through the workout.
ReplyDeleteI typically use Gu, but I'm always interested in what's else is on the market.
ReplyDeleteI like to make homemade energy bars for fuel.
ReplyDeleteHoney Stinger waffles before and GU during. I have always wanted to try pro bar chews and almost picked up a pack yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI actually can't eat much before a long run. Horrible, I know.

ReplyDeleteI typically have a half a bagel before, and a Huma gel during!
ReplyDeleteI like almond butter and apples.
ReplyDeleteSnickers bars.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been eating jelly belly energy beans and cliff goo!

ReplyDeleteApples with peanut butter works for quick energy.
ReplyDeleteGeorgiana
Shotbloks
ReplyDeleteUsually Nuun Electrolytes or Gatorade during races :)
ReplyDeleteI'm good without fuel for runs fewer than 14-15 miles. Any mileage above that and I use Tailwind or Nuun and a GU. I haven't ever tried Probar.

ReplyDeleteI like to use a honey stingers product or sports beans.
ReplyDeleteSadie B.
Before I head out I eat Greek yogurt and peanut butter. And during I use Gatorade chews. Would like to try these and see how they are.
ReplyDeleteI have a super hard time on the run. I’ve tried a few different gummies (haven’t tried pro bar yet) and have settled on Clif Shot Blocks, margarita flavor! Also, thanks to you and the best joke ever (Snoop Dogg... umbrella...) I’ve learned that my stomach likes Sis gel... hope I got that right.
ReplyDeletemy go-to has been black cherry or strawberry shot blocks, because the first time i tried them, they did not leave my stomach feeling really bad. i'm sort of a creature of habit and have been using the exact same thing in the 7-ish years i have been running...and i am open to trying new and different things!!!
ReplyDeleteMy pre long run feel is usually oatmeal with peanut butter and banana
ReplyDeleteLately, bananas and belvitas.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and Pro bar gummies:)
ReplyDeleteBanana and pb shakes, pasta the night before, rice cakes, granola!

ReplyDeleteI have not found a brand that I'm super loyal to, but Gu makes very low caffeine gels that have worked for me.
ReplyDeleteSwedish fish are my long run go to!

ReplyDeleteI have mostly only experimented with Gu energy gels and Clif Blocks during my long runs. I would prefer a bar to munch on but they either seem to hard to chew or they crumble. Open to suggestions!

ReplyDeletePeanut butter or almonds.
ReplyDeleteI recently switched to pro bar chews and love them so far!
ReplyDeleteLove Pro Bar!
ReplyDeleteI love shot blocks for running fuel!
ReplyDeleteMy longest runs are 10k, so I just have a banana afterwards and I'm good.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing really low mileage right now because I'm just starting out so I dont typically need anything afterwards. But when I do I get a bagel with peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteShort runs are a banana, and long runs are... open for experiment. I've tried Nuun and Tailwind, and I know there are more options out there like Probar that I just haven't tried yet. Still looking for what works best for me!
ReplyDeleteBowl of cereal and coffee before running, I've tried various products but just keep going back to gu mid-run. After running, chocolate milk!
ReplyDeleteI like Honey Stingers!
ReplyDeleteI would love this. I have a sensitive runners stomach and I go through so much fuel finding something that would work. I am running out of options. :)
ReplyDeleteI fuel on the run with Gen UCAN now, but after my run, I love a good protein bar!

ReplyDeleteI love a banana and some Ucan
ReplyDeleteFor a long run, I generally have a small snack about an hour beforehand of a banana and peanut butter. But during the run I fuel with GU packets (smores are so good, but I wish they had caffeine) or Honey Stinger chews (I love the cherry cola and fruit punch ones).
ReplyDeleteTypically honey stinger waffles and sometimes gu
