Energy Bits Party!


I have been meaning to write a post on Energy Bits for a few weeks now and, thanks to Energy Bits sponsoring a giveaway, it kicked me into gear.
Since last summer I have consistently been eating Energy Bits and Recovery Bits almost daily and I have seen some amazing results.
I have already shared about the natural energetic feeling I get from these lovely little algae bits and today I would like to give 3 more reasons I love them!




1. A bit (or 20) a day keeps the doctor away
I wanted to wait until spring officially arrived on the calendar to make this proclamation and now I can. I went this entire winter without being sick! Seriously. There was 1 day in January that I had a sore throat and was a bit achy, but I didn't run a fever and after spending a day on the couch and upping my intake of Recovery Bits I was back in business. So, no flu, no stomach yuckiness, no strep throat or even an ear infection. And I credit that to the fact that bits boosted my immune system and gave me the proper nutrition for my body to stay healthy.

2. A great source of food when you are unable to eat
Unable to eat? That sounds odd, but think about it. There are some days I am just not hungry but know that I need to have some sort of food to function. Maybe my appetite is down or I don't want to be full. I am weird in that I don't like to be full when I travel, when I have a big day of teaching, or anything where I am active. In times like this I typically have 10-15 of Energy and Recovery Bits. This allows me to have the protein and nutrients I need to get through without sitting down to a full meal. I never leave home without my tin of bits!

Bits in the sky!

3. Really all-natural. Like, really.
There are many products that claim to be organic, natural and healthy and then I look at the ingredients only to find sugar, fake sugar, chemicals and...junk. I get so disappointed when I see this not only because I hate false claims but because I just want all the people that are being duped by these "healthy" products to instead try Energy and Recovery Bits.
They are:

  • 100% organic
  • 100% algae  That's right. Look at the package. O N E Ingredient. Dehydrated algae. Just like a raisin is a dried grape, a bit is dried algae. Nothing else.
  • Gluten Free
  • Vegan



Energy Bits are spirulina algae and they give me a natural boost of energy that feels like I just woke up from the best sleep. More even feeling that a shot of espresso and more filling, too. It's like sitting down to eat a salad in a tab form!

Recovery Bits are chlorella algae and they digest a bit slower which means you don't get the quick burst of energy but you do get a steady feeling of wellness. I love to have Recovery Bits first thing in the morning with a tall glass of water. ***Major News*** I have noticed that if I have 15-20 bits after a long run I am much less likely to suffer from a headache. I tend to get a migraine-like headache after long outdoor runs so I make sure to have my bits immediately after.

  1. I am so excited about this! I've recently started a new job that goes straight through lunch hour and bits would be a perfect meal substitute! I believe I did all of the above 4 criteria, although google plus was a bit funky on my phone. My facebook name is Katie Jackson and my email is katie4478@sbcglobal.net. Fingers crossed!

  4. Ooh ooh I wanna try da bits! I follow on Facebook as well as Google+. Fun fact: Before I began wrangling my two legged critters full time, I did rescue work for four legged ones. Sun Chlorella is a supplement we used to help the unhealthiest& most malnourished dogs to bounce back. Magical! Especially former racing greyhounds whose systems were completely wrecked from years of terrible nutrition. Thought you'd find that interesting! I did! :)

    1. That is interesting! My pup Ivy loves both Energy and Recover Bits and I have seen lots of posts of dogs and cats "stealing" their humans bits. Sharing your story with the Bits team. Thanks and good luck on the contest :)

  5. I've followed energybits for a few weeks now and didn't know that it was 100% natural and just algae. Cool stuff. I took pilates as part of group exercise classes in college. I liked how it mixed flexibility with strength training. I'm following on Twitter and Google+!

    1. Yes! They are one ingredient only, which is great since it seems like so many things have a giant list of ingredients these days. Thanks for stopping by and following. If you are interested in trying Energy Bits before buying a full size bag, let me know! And when you do order use the code HEART to save 20% every time.
