Last week I received some INCREDIBLE products from iHerb, a fantastic online carrier of vitamins and herbal supplements (vegan, vegetarian, raw and even gluten free), cosmetics and personal care items that are organic and/or cruelty-free, eco-friendly products as well as over 1000 natural and specialty grocery items. Sounds pretty amazing, huh?
I ended up getting to pick $50 worth of stuff from their site, and I have to say it felt pretty amazing! I got the following stuff:
- Chia seeds
- Bob’s Red Mill 13-Bean Soup
- Whey protein
- green measuring cups (LOVE the color!)
- pumpkin seeds
- Mango Awapuhi shampoo
- a free sample of strawberry pomegranate preserves
Although I plan on trying the chia seeds for a vegan baking project tonight (what? who am I?), I can honestly say I’ve tried everything else and it is wonderful. I now have protein powder for smoothies, which I’ve never tried before and now that I have I’m not going back. The soup is fantastic and FULL of fiber, the seeds are perfectly crunchy and great for the afternoon salt cravings. The preserves? Well, they are no more. You’ll see the measuring cups in full force soon, and the shampoo makes my hair smell like the tropics. What’s not to love?
iHerb made shopping and picking out great products so easy, and they have an amazing selection. I don’t know how I’ll go back to shopping at a regular store…
The best part? They’ve offered one lucky reader in the US a chance to win a $50 shopping spree too! All you have to do to enter is:
- leave a comment on this post telling me the one natural product you want to try the most.
For extra entries you can:
- tweet the following: “@heathersdish and @iherb are giving away a $50 shopping spree! https://www.heatherdisarro.com/2011/03/08/iherb-rocks-giveaway-time” and leave a comment letting me know you did
- follow me on facebook and leave me a comment letting me know you did
I’ll be picking a winner on Friday (3/11) morning and will announce it in the afternoon post!
Alright y’all – get to commenting!
I would love to try the Mango Shampoo. I figure if I”m trying to EAT natural things I need to start USING natural products as well!
OMG– such a tough decision between the Whey Protein Powder & Chia Seeds for me; however, I’m gonna go Chia! I think I’m the last person on the planet to try them…

Protein powder for sure! And dried fruit (although it’s a little pathetic that I have to exercise self-control when I’m around the stuff because I can do some damage in one sitting).
Oh, my husband loves chia seeds. They would actually work well in your lasagna (I added them to the cheese in a manicotti recipe). I’ve love to try the shower. I hate perfume but I love the smells of shampoo!
