Peanut Butter & Co. Giveaway!!

Wow!! I can't believe the Early Morning Run pack is over 100 strong!! It's pretty surreal for me to think that there are over 100 people reading what I write. Thank you so much for the time you take out of your days to see what I've written and to contribute! Truthfully, I'd probably still be writing even if only a few people were reading, but you all make it so much more fun! Please keep commenting: sharing your ideas, tips, and experiences. That's what the blogsphere is all about!

To celebrate this milestone, I want to do something for all of you awesome people by offering a pretty great (at least I think so) givewaway!! I'm very excited about this one!

The cool people over at Peanut Butter & Co sent me a few of their new squeeze packs to try out! This is one of their newest products, aimed to help PB-lovers everywhere enjoy their favorite PB&Co flavors on the go!

Lee Zalben, Peanut Butter & Co President and Founder, says about these squeeze packs: "Everyone knows that peanut butter is a delicious way to get prtein and energy into your diet. But having a jar of peanut butter on hand after a workout, a race, or even in a long car trip isn't always convenient. Our new squeeze packs are perfect for stashing in a purse, tote bag or lunchbox, and turn wholegrain crackers, celery sticks, apples, and bananas into nutritionally balanced, whole food snacks."
Aren't these cute?! Aside from loving the actual peanut butter, I love PB&Co. branding.

For now, these new squeeze packs come in only three of the ten flavors (but what great flavors they are!): Smooth Operator, Bee's Knees, and Dark Chocolate Dreams. Each pack is 1.5oz (2tbs) each and they come in boxes of 10 (one flavor). Seriously convenient for fueling on the go!

I took one pack with me on a trip recently so I could get my PB fix away from home, and enjoyed Bee's Knees in my oats this morning! Yum!
Also, if you haven't heard, PB&Co. is supporting athletes in other ways too, as the title sponsor of the TWENTY12 Women's Pro Cycling Team, which is managed by Nicola Cranmer and Kristin Armstrong.

On a green note, PB & Co. is also working towards lowering it's carbon footprint by partnering with Terracycle on these squeeze packs by creating the Peanut Butter Brigade. Terracycle will turn used squeeze packs into tote bags! Check out Terracycle's website for more info about their innovative company.
