I shouldn’t say ridiculous things like “I’ll pick a winner March 1st” when there’s no telling when I’ll next get to a computer or even if I’ll have a clue what day it is.
But none the less, here are the TEN winners of the Think Thin Weight Wellness sampler packs:

Now, for those of you who didn’t win, I’ve got another giveaway for you. If you read a bunch of healthy living/food type blogs, chances are you’ve probably seen the new Chobani Greek yogurt flavors floating around. Not to bore you with repetitiveness, but you’re going to seem them at least one more time:
The Chobani crew sent me a box of their newest varieties: Apple Cinnamon, Blood Orange, and Passion Fruit. How are those for creative yogurt flavors?
Normally I love anything apple cinnamon flavored, but the thought of apples & yogurt together made me cringe a little. I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong however; I immediately fell in love with the combo. Creamy Greek yogurt on top with soft cinnamon-spiced apples on the bottom. Pretty much dessert in disguise.
The blood orange flavor surprised me both in taste and appearance. It truly tasted like blood oranges were mixed into the cup and the bright pinkish orange flavor was beautiful. {An important quality in yogurt, no? 
}
I really, really wanted to like the Passion Fruit since it’s such a unique yogurt variety, but I just couldn’t get on board. I’ve heard the 2% Greek yogurts are deliciously creamy, but it was just too much for me. While authentic to the passion fruit, the seeds in the bottom of the yogurt just didn’t jive for me. The crunch just didn’t mesh with the smooth yogurt and they left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.
Keep your hands off the other flavors though, those are mine!
So…want to win your own box of Chobani?

I could probably spend the next 6 months writing posts about things you can eat one handed. It’s shocking what a back seat my own eating has taken in order to make sure this little guy is fed whenever he wants. {And that’s a lot!}
I’ve been filling up on homemade oatmeal muffins and almond butter smothered bagels, but sometimes even those things are too complicated. Muffins require baking at some point and almond butter requires spreading. So I’ve been turning to the easiest of easy grab and go snacks to tide me over until I can get an extra hand free: protein bars.
thinkThin sent me some samples of their protein and crunch bars earlier this month and I was instantly a fan. I’ve already replenished my stock; heaven forbid I run out when I’m running around like a starving maniac.
The crunch bars come in fruity and nutty flavors like Blueberry & Mixed Nuts and Cranberry Apple & Mixed Nuts. The smell alone when I peeled open the wrapper for the first time was enough to win me over. The husband kept asking what I was eating that smelled so good and could he have some. {The answer was no of course, these weren’t for sharing!} The bonus was that they’re low in sugar.
I was more hesitant about the protein bars. I’m not usually an advocate of protein bars, or a fan of the taste. The thinkThin bars passed my test though- they don’t have that characteristic chalky flavor or texture, they’re sugar free, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they come in flavors like Creamy Peanut Butter {the words peanut butter almost always win me over} and Caramel Fudge.
I know I sound like a walking advertisement at this point but I am a fan. If the flavor wasn’t enough to make me happy, the company’s concept for wellness makes me happy too. Instead of promoting weight loss, they advocate weight wellness:
What we feel this means is that this is the optimal weight range at which our bodies feel happy and healthy. This is not dictated by aesthetic, shape, weight or tape measure – it is the physical outcome of feeling energized, confident, and living a life that is vibrant, varied and fulfilling. thinkThin® products contain uncompromised quality ingredients that provide an excellent source of energy without the punishing side effects of gluten and refined sugar.
Sounds good in my nutrition book. 
Now, if only someone could come up with a pre-packaged solution for typing one handed…
You don’t think I’d blabber on about how good something is without sharing with you, right?
TEN of you have the chance to win a Weight Wellness Sampler – 2 thinkThin® Protein Bars & 2 thinkThin® Crunch Bars by liking thinkThin on Facebook and following them on Twitter. Just leave a comment letting me know you did.
For a bonus entry, tell me how you create wellness in your life.
I’ll pick a winner on March 1st!
