We are almost at the close of the first month of the new year and many of us are trying to stick with resolutions to improve our health. On that note, Smile Natural Foods is introducing their new Wholefood Blend, a delicious mix of organic ingredients and we’re giving away a basket of Wholefood Blend and granola…see giveaway details below. (Disclosure: I received complimentary Wholefood Blend products to review for this post.)
Wholefood Blend is a mix of flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seed, buckwheat groat, oat bran, dates, and cinnamon. There is no added sugar or artificial colours or preservatives. The product is vegan, non-GMO and USDA Certified Organic. It comes in four different flavours: Cranberry, Coconut, Goji Berry and Fig Cacao.
Wholefood Blend is an easy way to add Omega 3 & 6, antioxidants, fiber and protein to your meals. I added a teaspoon of Wholefood Blend to my yogourt and it was delicious. The nut and seed texture provided a great contrast with the creamy yogourt.
Other ways to incorporate Wholefood Blend into your diet is by adding it to salads, oatmeal, pancakes or even baking.
Wholefood Blend retails for $14.99 for a 7 oz. jar. You can find Wholefood Blend at The Big Carrot, Nature’s Emporium, Fresh & Wild, Organic Garage, Ambrosia Natural Foods, Goodness Me! and The Sweet Potato.
Enter our giveaway to win a gift basket of four containers of Wholefood, a Smile Natural Foods t-shirt, Smile Granola and Smile Muesli, value $85. Open to Toronto & GTA residents only. Giveaway closes Feb. 8, 2017.

Could do better as the work environment is full of pitfalls – chocolate dishes, christmas cookies …
I managed to quit smoking…..
I’m cutting back on added sugars.

So far I am doing really good and have made some changes to my diet and have been exercising more often.I have also been out walking for 20 to 30 minutes a day and it has made a big difference in my energy levels and breathing.It’s all good!!
I just noticed the rules say Toronto only!
Very good – my goal is to get 30 min of exercise every day…
I’m doing great!
I’m doing pretty good so far. Had a few bad days eating wise this month but just have to learn to start fresh the next day and not dwell on it.
I think that’s the best attitude: starting fresh each day, regardless of what happened the day before. Cheers, Lori

I’m doing great most especially I am eating for 2. I am trying my very best to be in the best shape of my life as I am expecting my first child. Double motivation for trying to be healthy for 2 🙂
Congratulations on your first child! Yes, that would definitely be a motivator for eating healthy! Cheers, Lori
I should be trying to do better, but we bake a lot at Christmas to give away as baskets, and it seems that I have made it my mission to finish all the baking before starting my resolutions. late night snacking is by far the worst thing I do. These would help for sure!
Well after all that baking, it’s mandatory to finish it lol. Cheers, Lori
I’ve been doing pretty good – eating better and remembering to take my vitamins. Of course a few slip ups can be forgiven!
Good for you! Vitamins can make such a positive difference! Cheers, Lori

i try to eat more healthy

So far I’m sticking with my routine.
That’s great! Good for you! Cheers, Lori
to start my path of weight loss I know I have a long one but I have to start some were.

I’m doing well with the quitting smoking and the regular exercise but my diet is poor
Didn’t make too many resolutions, but I’m trying to walk more & eat more healthy foods.
My 2017 goal is to tone my body with exercise, drink more water and eat less sugar.
Poorly. I did well until a couple of days ago… gained 3 lbs in 1 week..not good.
eat more!
I am doing okay with my health goals – to stay healthy during pregnancy. Next month after baby comes I will start working towards getting my post-baby-body back, that’s where the real challenge will be!
Congrats on your pregnancy! Cheers, Lori
Haven’t started my resolutions yet..perhaps Mon.
I’m not doing as well as I want to be. I’ve been depressed lately and very unmotivated to do anything (workout, study, cook). I have been making it to the gym about 3 times a week but my goal is to go at least 5times a week. It’s just a matter of not feeling sorry for myself and getting myself into gear. I know I can do it!
I’m happy to say that it is going well. I have definitely been more committed to my workouts.
My health goals are getting there. I will do better I will.
I am eating healthy
i’m 4 days in on changing my eating habits and i’m feeling really good
I am sticking to my healthy goals this 2017. Cutting back on calories daily has proven some weight loss. I am trying to add more fibre and this contest win would be amazing!
I’m not doing too well in terms of eating healthily for the new year….just had pizza….so good though!
I didn’t really make any major resolutions this year, but I continue to focus on healthy eating and staying active 🙂 I am also trying to be more mindful by practicing yoga and meditation.
It sounds like you are doing really well! Cheers, Lori
Wine and Cheese at night and Granola for breakfast isn’t a bad mix.
Sounds healthy to me! Cheers, Lori
Doing well so far! Being more mindful of what I eat and exercising more!
Hit and miss:).Thanks!
It’s going slow. Some days are really good then then the next week off the rails.
