You asked me for this

We have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT…

Today we have TWO new products available. We get tons of requests for them. Maybe even from you.

*VIRTUAL CONFETTI DUMP*

Click to find out what they are!

Two of our early products were Chocolate and Vanilla Plant-Based Protein Powder. People love them. They taste amazing. And have only 5-6 organic ingredients. 

And so many people wrote in to tell us they TOSSED their old protein powder... and switched to Truvani. We can't thank you enough for that. 

But ever since then, people have asked for MORE flavors…

And we finally figured out a way to bring more to you… using the only best ingredients possible. 

Can you guess what they are?

Enjoy!

Xo,

Vani

P.S. Our Plant-Based Protein Powder is now available in TWO NEW FLAVORS – can you guess what they are? Click here to see if you're right.

Need fast food? Try this

Smoothies make the best FAST FOOD.

Smoothies like this one are something I try to incorporate in my everyday diet because they are the ultimate "fast food" which makes it easy to incorporate several nutrient-dense ingredients in one easy to drink shake. Simply whiz it up in the blender and eat.

But...If you're not careful, smoothies can get BORING. That's why my new cookbook, Food Babe Kitchen, includes a wide variety of smoothie recipes to keep things interesting... 

Click to pre-order Food Babe Kitchen and get a special bonus today (Only 3 more weeks until the cookbook is here!)

One thing I don't do, however, is buy pre-made bottled "smoothies" from the grocery store, such as the ones made by Naked and Bolthouse Farms. 

These smoothies are very heavily processed, which destroys the beneficial nutrients. Especially when they use "concentrates" which are made by boiling juice into a syrup. If you're going to drink a smoothie, what's the point if its nutrients have been boiled to death?!

Today on the blog I published a brand new smoothie recipe made with my favorite Goji Berries! 

Get my brand new Goji Berry Bliss Smoothie recipe here.

After you try this smoothie, I'm sure you'll also be singing the praises of goji berries! Aren't they the best?

If you know anyone who would love this antioxidant-rich smoothie please share this recipe with them! 

Xo,

Vani


P.S. Remember–If you pre-order Food Babe Kitchen today, I'll send you my Ultimate Pantry List, which includes everything I stock in my pantry, fridge, and freezer! And, you don't need to wait for the book to come out. I'll send you this list today after you submit a proof of purchase here.

Quarantine funk got you down? Try this

With all the social distancing rules and business closures, I have been a bit melancholy about the lack of festivals, arts and live shows we normally get to attend during the Fall Season. 

So many have been cancelled!

Thankfully this weekend, we had a blast going to one of my favorite organic farms - Wise Acres. 

This farm has it all and my little girl absolutely loves it - playgrounds, hay rides, trains, mazes, animals, pumpkins, organic pizzas, organic cider, organic lemonade, and more! We ended up taking home 15 pumpkins.

No one is cancelling Halloween around here haha. 

So if you are looking for something fun to do this fall, search around to see what your local farms are up to, they might just have what you need to get out of the quarantine funk. 

In other news, it's less than a month until my cookbook FOOD BABE KITCHEN comes out!

It's almost here and I am so excited that you are excited about it - because it is the most personal thing I have ever created to share with you.

If you have a blog, platform, organization or are in media–and you'd like to get Food Babe Kitchen before anyone else, share it with your platform and help spread the word–fill out this form:

Request an Advance Copy of Food Babe Kitchen here.

IMPORTANT: As I only have a limited number of advance copies, I won't be able to send one to everyone who requests one. Another way you can support the cookbook is by pre-ordering a copy now, before it hits stores.

Pre-ordering is very important in the book world.

When you pre-order a book it lets bookstores know that there's demand and excitement around a book and they print more copies. 

So, each pre-order determines how many books will be printed and will be available for people to buy.

Pre-order Food Babe Kitchen and get a special bonus here.

Thank you for your support and love in advance!

I cried when I opened this box, then something funny happened

I got a very special package this week from my publisher. I was so excited to see my new cookbook, Food Babe Kitchen, hot off the press…and then something funny happened! 

Watch the video here - I was laughing so hard! 

What a head fake - all those tears for nothing LOL!

This is so funny to me because when I got my first book deal 7 years ago, it was actually for 2 books...

The second was supposed to be a cookbook after The Food Babe Way was published. But the publisher wanted to print my cookbook in black & white! Yikes.

I told them there was NO WAY that I could have a black & white cookbook. I wanted full color photographs of every recipe and wanted to create at least 100 recipes for this book. They said they didn't have the budget for it, which was so heartbreaking. So I BEGGED my agents to get me out of the publishing contract and they helped me find a new publisher who saw my vision.

Now, Food Babe Kitchen is everything that I dreamed my first cookbook would be.

It is going to be so beautiful, with FULL COLOR photos of every recipe (over 100!) and never-before-seen photos of me with my family enjoying time cooking and eating together.

This cookbook has been YEARS in the making and now we have only a few weeks to go (it hits bookshelves Oct 20th!)...I can't wait for you to get your copy to see how wonderful it is!

As a special bonus –When you pre-order Food Babe Kitchen today, I'll send you a list of everything in my pantry, fridge and freezer. It goes straight to your inbox when you pre-order, so you get this list right now.

Pre-order your copy here and get the bonus now.

Thank you for all your support, you are amazing, I love you all so much.

Xo,

Vani

P.S. It's about a month away for my book baby, but 3 months for my next human baby.

A new recipe you will love

If you love milkshakes, this new recipe is for you…

 

My golden lassi is like a frosty tropical milkshake, made with 100% healthy ingredients. 

Click here to get this new recipe

A lassi is a drink that's made by blending yogurt with fruit and spices. You can easily make this vegan by using coconut yogurt (CocoYO and Harmless Harvest are my fave!)

I also love to use my mom's homemade yogurt that she makes from grass-fed organic milk. Whatever you do, make sure you choose an unsweetened plain organic yogurt to avoid dairy raised on drugs and GMO grains.

Print the Golden Lassi Recipe here - You'll want to keep this handy! 

And remember, if you want more incredibly delicious recipes made with real food, my first cookbook, Food Babe Kitchen, is available to pre-order now and will be in bookstores on October 20th!

It contains all of the real food meals that I love to make for myself and my family, plus many more healthy treats like this one! I'll show you how to cook, shop for food, and plan meals without spending hours in the kitchen.

When you pre-order Food Babe Kitchen today, I'll send you my Ultimate Pantry List. In this bonus guide, I walk you through every single item that's in my pantry, fridge, and freezer.

Virtually EVERYTHING, including the brand names that I buy is included. I'll tell you which brands I've investigated and found to have clean ingredients. No more guessing! I give it all to you.

Click here to pre-order your copy and claim your pantry list. 

It would mean the world to me if you shared this Golden Lassi Recipe with your friends and told them about Food Babe Kitchen. Your support is amazing!

I love giving you this

I've got some bad news and some good news:

I'll start with the bad news...

Last week we announced a brand new Truvani product - a GORGEOUS Truvani Ceramic Container with laser-engraved bamboo lid.

And anyone who purchased one of our powdered supplements got it absolutely free!

But here's the bad news: 

That free container promo ended yesterday.

If you didn't claim yours in time, it's over.

So what's the GOOD news?

Well, y'all loved our new Container.

Our support team has been SLAMMED over the last few days.

People loved the idea of getting a pretty Container to help make using their favorite powders cleaner and simpler.

But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Take a look at these comments...

Some people said:

"I'd love to get a free container, but I'm already stocked up on protein."

And others said: 

"I want one, but I really only need some Vitamin C and D right now."

So, in the spirit of giving the people what they want…

We decided to do something...

So here's what we did ← Click to see the good news.

When you choose Truvani. Well, all the hard work's been done for you. 

We test each ingredient's sources -- before it even gets to our facility. Then the formula is tested again. After that,  we send it to a 3rd party for further testing. 

Product safety is of the highest priority. And these rigorous processes are part of the Truvani Standard. 

We know how hard it is to trust products out there. 

That's why we invest our time and energy into building a remarkable brand. One that brings quality products with only the best ingredients available. Right to your doorstep.  

Along with your support, we are changing the food industry. One product at a time.

Have you seen this product label?

I have to show you something a bit crazy. 

But first, a quick reminder:

Today is the final day to get your FREE Truvani ceramic container. It comes with any purchase of Marine Collagen or Plant-Based Protein.  

You can get it here. 

If you've followed me for any length of time… you know how important ingredients are. 

Ingredients labels are a huge reason why I started Food Babe. And they are the foundation of Truvani. 

It took us over a year to develop our Plant-Based Protein. 

I'm strict about our ingredients standards. 

So, when I read the labels on some other proteins.

I'm disgusted. 

They have long labels crammed with artificial ingredients. And preservatives. 

Tons of stuff you don't need. 

Take a look at these two labels:

Do you ever wonder why? Why do companies pack their products with stuff you don't need?

These ingredients aren't even necessary to make protein powder. 

How do I know?

Because Truvani was able to create a delicious protein powder. 

With 5-6 ingredients. The ones that you see on that top label. 

That's it. And people love it.  

Like Emily R., who said:

5 stars "I'm a spin instructor and I love to take the Truvani protein powder and the marine collagen powder before I ride. I feel full and have lots of energy to instruct my riders."

It's crucial to question what you put in your body.

Ingredients matter

Because your health matters. 

At Truvani, if ingredients don't pass our standards. We don't make the product. 

Other companies may think we're nuts. But it's an easy decision for us. 

I fight every day to change big food. And I know they aren't changing fast enough. 

So we are helping to change the way you eat. By giving you only the best ingredient possible. 

That's something we are incredibly passionate about. 

All of our products are Non-GMO Project Verified. All of our products are Certified Gluten-Free (CGFO). 

We can't thank you enough for your support. We are in this together.  

Xo,

Vani

One canister - endless possibilities

Let's be honest. This Truvani Ceramic Container is long overdue.

Not only does the Truvani team have hilarious stories about lost scoops…

… but we even had a loyal customer send in a glowing review. About our Marine Collagen.

And she was holding up a glass jar with her favorite collagen. Not the bag it comes in.

So, when we shipped out these convenient canisters to team members…

… not only were they excited. But their kids were too! 

The Duncan kids knew right away markers fit perfectly. Smart! 

And when I unboxed mine, Harley brought it to her play kitchen. To stow away her favorite pretend foods. Too precious! 

Our kids are pretty clever. Because this beautiful container is also great for storing other things like:

  • Pasta and grains
  • Your favorite teas and coffees
  • Dog treats
  • Fun money

And so much more! 

Want to know my favorite thing about this gorgeous gift with purchase? 

Every time you reach for it… you'll know you're part of a bigger mission. 

From a company working to deliver the best ingredients possible to your home every month. 

That brings me a whole lot of smiles!

I want you to reach for this incredible gift when you go to fix your favorite beverage. 

This is why you should act now by adding this FREE canister to your next Truvani order. 

All you need to do is purchase Truvani's Marine Collagen or one of our Plant-Based Protein powders. And we will ship one to you at no additional cost. 

We've got it all set up on the page for you. Simply add a powder to your cart, and the ceramic container will ship with it. 

Plus, as an additional "Thank You," you'll receive our "In-Season Smoothies" guide in your email.

But, as I warned yesterday, these gifts won't last. They are going fast and we don't have many left. 

I don't want you to miss out, so click this link to claim yours.

It’s not just you

"Does anyone hate when their hand gets stuck in the collagen bag? Or is it just me?" 

We all laughed when a Truvani teammate brought this up in a meeting. Because he wasn't alone. 

In fact, a lot of our Truvani customers have dealt with similar issues. Like Lynn S. who said: 

"I'm wondering if you've thought about packaging it a little differently.... possibly in a canister style? I say this, because every day when scooping it out, you have to make sure the [bag] stays open otherwise some spills out on the counter." 

Believe me. We're listening. To Lynn and all our loyal customers who write in with suggestions. 

We looked into glass jars for our collagen when we launched it. And it wasn't the right option for many reasons.  

But as more and more comments came in, we knew we had to find a solution. 

So we made this incredible ceramic container with a bamboo lid. It even has the Truvani logo on it. 

It's airtight, dishwasher safe...

...and it's yours for FREE when you purchase any Truvani powder product. 

When you order one of these favorites:

  • Truvani's Marine Collagen
  • Chocolate Plant-Based Protein
  • Or Vanilla Plant-Based Protein

You will receive our brand new ceramic container absolutely free! ($19.99 value)

Each purchase not only comes with the Truvani Ceramic Container but also a digital copy of our recipe guide for "In Season Smoothies"!

If you want one, you should order today. Everyone loves them and they are going fast. 

So fast that we may run out soon. 

Click here to get one!

They went missing...

We've got a problem. 

Yesterday we announced that we released these beautiful canisters - available free with purchase - and we just discovered that 1,000 canisters went missing.

(This doesn't happen often. When we send products to our fulfillment center… they usually get to our fulfillment center).

Luckily, we still have around 3,122 available. But we expect them to go quickly. So, if you're interested in getting one… check out this page here. 

Watch the video at the top of this page to see how great these canisters are!

It looks gorgeous on your countertop. It's airtight, and it fits an entire bag of Marine Collagen. 

Of course, we knew our Truvani community would love having one sit out in their kitchen. It's a convenient way to stow your favorite Truvani products or other kitchen items like:

  • Coffee and teas
  • Homemade organic treats
  • Oats and other dried goods

And so much more! 

This beautiful container is yours as a gift (value $19.99) when you purchase Truvani's Marine Collagen or either of our Plant-Based Proteins (chocolate or vanilla). 

Plus, for being a loyal customer, we will email you our "In-Season Smoothies" Guide free, as well. 

What are you waiting for? Go ahead and get your FREE Truvani Ceramic Container today! They won't last much longer!

This solves a big problem - so excited for you to have one

My Truvani Team and I got together to solve a big problem…

… and you're going to love it! 

Here's the thing...

We are all huge fans of our powder products:

  • Plant-Based Protein in chocolate and vanilla flavors
  • Marine Collagen

But there's one tiny dilemma that drives us a little crazy…

The mess it makes. 

You know, like when it first arrives. And you go on that big fishing expedition for the scoop.

Or when the bag gets low, and your hand gets covered in powder. Every. Single. Time. 

So, rather than dealing with this little obstacle... 

We came up with a pretty cool solution. The best part?

It's FREE when you purchase your favorite Truvani powder product. 

Even better is it's absolutely GORGEOUS! It looks great on your countertop and makes your life easier...

Want to know what it is? 

Find out here.

Xo,

Vani

Who will be brave enough for this? (media alert)

My latest post about the new waffles Kellogg's created for children which are full of artificial colors and other horrible ingredients and a disaster to a child's immune system has made people ready to hold Kellogg's accountable.
 

After seeing the post, my friend Jesse Itzler challenged the CEO of Kellogg's with an offer only a fool would refuse: $100,000.00 for a 15 minute Live interview on Instagram to discuss their products. 

Jesse will donate this money to any kids charity of the CEO's choice.

This should be front page news!

I spent last week reaching out to reporters to get an official response from Kellogg's CEO, Steve Cahillane.

Which news agency is going to report on this?

Who is brave enough?

Who cares about our children enough?

Shouldn't the media question why certain food companies are creating products with ingredients that are clearly making us (and our children) sick?

Will Kellogg's refuse $100,000 to a children's charity in exchange for a 15-minute interview about their products?

If so, what are they afraid of?

Many in the mainstream media can't report on the sins of the Big Food industry when they get their advertising dollars from companies like Kellogg's.

That's why they report about how fantastic Kellogg's new waffles are instead of investigating the ingredients. 

I know there are many brave reporters who are doing great work. And, I can't wait to see which one steps up to cover this and gets a response from Kellogg's headquarters.

Let's make this happen!

Share this blog post with any reporters you know of – Your local news agencies and nationwide media outlets.

Let's get someone to cover this story.

Kellogg's can't hide behind their artificial waffles forever.

Vani
