Spreading a little LOVE!
Good morning friends!
How are you!? Alright, first up today: If you’re reading this on my actual site as opposed to in your email or in a reader, you’ve probably noticed that Eat Spin Run Repeat had a little – actually, a very large – overnight makeover! This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while now but just didn’t have the technical skills to do it. Thankfully, I happened to stumble upon an awesome WordPress wizard named Ryan Sullivan, who offered to do the project for me. I was assuming I’d have to wait a few weeks, but he was ready to jump on it right away. There’s still a little formatting to be done on my part, but the heavy lifting is finished. Bloggers, if you need any WordPress work done whatsoever, I definitely recommend giving him a shout! Thanks again Ryan!!
Secondly, thanks for all of your comments and tweets about my plantar fasciitis woes. It’s very encouraging to hear that many of you recovered from it quickly! I’m hoping that a little rest will have me running again soon. For now, it’s low-impact cardio, ice and anti-inflammatories for this girl!
Alright, that’s enough about my stinky feet, because I’ve got something exciting for you today! You may have noticed that a little while ago, this badge appeared in my right sidebar:
I haven’t mentioned anything about Love Grown Foods here on the blog yet, but some of you may be aware that the company’s delicious granola is now available in Canada! Just before I left for Australia, a very exciting (and rather heavy) parcel arrived on my doorstep:
What was inside? HEAPS of granola!
When the wonderfully generous Maddy at Love Grown Foods asked if I wanted to be the first Canadian Love Blogger, I immediately told her yes. I’d already heard so much about the company and its products from the other Love Bloggers and I couldn’t wait to start spreading a little love myself.
You might be wondering why I’m so over-the-moon happy about this granola in particular, and there are plenty of reasons. For example:
- It comes in 5 flavours: Simply Oats, Apple Walnut Delight (my personal favourite), Raisin Almond Crunch (a close second favourite), Sweet Cranberry Pecan, and Cocoa Goodness.
- The company uses real ingredients and is very transparent about what exactly it is you’re putting in your mouth
- There are no artificial sweeteners or refined sugars
- All 5 flavours use certified gluten-free oats
But that’s not all. Maddy and Alex are the two entrepreneurs behind the company, and both share a passion for active lifestyles and healthy foods – two things that I’m just a little nutty about myself! To show their commitment, they visit schools and help to teach children about the importance of a healthy breakfast, participate in several community events, and honour a customer each month that exemplifies a ‘live free’ lifestyle. They’re about more than just oats in a bag, folks!
So here’s the deal: I’ve got some love to share with a lucky giveaway winner, and since Love Grown Foods is relatively new to Canada, it’s open to my Canadian readers only. (Sorry US bloggies – I’ll get ya next time!) The winner will receive:
- 5 mini bags of Love Grown granola – one in each flavour
- 1 large bag in whatever flavour you choose
There are several ways to enter, and each one will get you a separate entry.
- MANDATORY: Comment below telling me your favourite way to enjoy granola
- Optional:
- Tweet this giveaway. Use something like “I want to win some @LoveGrownFoods granola from @eatspinrunrpt! http://bit.ly/MbaYLk”
- Mention this giveaway on your blog (if you have one)
- Pin the image below on Pinterest with the caption “Spread the LOVE!”
The giveaway will close at midnight Eastern time on Thursday May 24th, and I’ll announce a winner first thing on Friday morning. Good luck!!

Granola and greek yogurt. Simple, but oh so good!
I’ve always been a little afraid of granola. It’s tough to find a healthy version. It’s often full of sugar and other additives. I’m excited to see that LOVEGROWN will be available in Canada! Yeah! We are often forgotten up here in the Great White North….:)
Holy granoli… I jumped up and down in the store when I saw Love Grown in Superstore the other day. Too great!
Like the new layout of the blog. It was weird though, when I visited there was an ad on the right corner and it had a picture at the top of a couple and I was like… wait, that’s not Ange…. what’s happening?!
Favorite way to enjoy granola: I wish I could say that I get it to the bowl with milk, but I never do. It’s straight out of the bag ALL the way.
I love to eat granola just plain. A great snack to grab on the go.
I’m currently addicted to Love Grown granola! Amazing stuff! Typically put it on top of smoothies-in-a-bowl, with almond milk for a delicious and satisfying breaky or sometimes I just snack on it while blogging!
Love it in greek yogurt!
on yogurt

I want to see them come to Canada in stores! I love enjoying granola over a bowl of greek yogurt, or with almond milk poured on top.
I enjoy granola on my Greek yogurt every morning.
Sign me up for the popular granola with greek yogurt club! I especially love it with blueberries or strawberries, and a drizzle of agave or maple syrup.
I am in total need of a new granola to put on my greek yogurt nad berry parfaits, or sprinkle on oatmeal, they all look delicious!
Loving the new look, I’m so glad you made the change!
The best way to enjoy granola, with greek yogurt and fresh berries! or sometimes just straight out of the packaging
I could eat granola by the handfuls, but I love to eat it with greek yogurt in the morning!

I won’t enter (though I am in Canada), but I’d rather let someone receive a neat-o gift.
That said, I do love that granola. In fact it is addicting…as in standing at the kitchen counter at midnight eating it straight out of the bag. Oops …
Other than that, granola with yogurt, nuts, and lots of fruit. But always just straight outta the bag.
Fistfuls.

My fave way to inhale – oops, I mean enjoy! – granola is basically put my hand in the bag and put it in my mouth.
I love some granola with Greek yogurt and berries for breakfast! Keeps me full all morning

Congrats on being the first Canadian blogger! I have read a lot about Love Grown Granola on US blogs and am so excited to hear it will be in Canada – it sounds like a fantastic company. I love granola mixed in with some oatmeal or chia pudding for a little bit of added crunch! On top of quinoa porridge is also delicious.
I love it on yoghurt with fresh berries! Or by the handful dry. Basically anyway I can get it!
That granola looks amazing and the people behind Love Grown Foods are inspirational! It’s so great to see people making a difference in their communities – makes me feel warm and fuzzy
My favourite way to eat granola is with a mixture of plain Greek and flavoured yogurt and some fresh berries – especially raspberries!
By the handfull on the go, gives me a boost of energy.
I love granola with my plain home-made yogurt and fresh blueberries…
i love granola on my morning bowl of oats with egg whites and fruit, or just on its own, as a quick snack on the go!
Love the new site. So fresh!
I love granola with greek yogurt and blueberries. SO excited that it is available in Canada now!!
I love granola on vanilla greek yogurt as dessert! I often doctor it up with organic apricots, raisins, cranberries and carob chips, but Love Grown looks so delicious it would be better without the extras!
Woop Canadian giveway!! I love granola as a dessert in yogurt with frozen blackberries and almond butter.
I love granola with plain greek yogurt, fresh strawberries and bananas topped with maple flakes!! mmmmmm!
Love granola with yogurt!
On top of a fruit parfait.
I love granola simply with greek yogurt and sliced bananas in a tall glass. Makes a fancy parfait in the morning for myself to enjoy!
I love granola on top of fro yo!
I just discovered your out-of-this-earth cereal just last week and it is the best! I typically enjoy it with a bit of probiotic plain yogurt and organic fresh back yard picked blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries in season.
PS The best in the bowl
My favourite way to enjoy granola is probably either on top of oats, dipped in nut butter, or on top of yogurt!

Would love to try this stuff, have been reading about it on US blogs for ages!!
I tweeted @steph_j_peters
I love granola in all sorts of “crazy” ways, but at the end of the day, I love it most just naked: Straight out of the bag or with a splash of almond milk <3
Wow! Just discovered your blog! So GLAD I did. Haha, looks like GREAT timing. This is going to sound weird, but I love mixing granola, dairy free chocolate chips and pretzels with plain popcorn… making my own little dairy free trail mix!! SO DELISH!
ps- yay for a Canadian only giveaway!
I pinned it. Spread the LOVE!
I love granola in any way, shape or form. But especially so in a bowl with unsweetened almond milk and also as an addition to my trail mix.
Ang your blog looks amazing! I love granola in greek yogurt!
Love to have granola with yogurt! Delicious!
I like to eat my granola right out of the bag, standing by the open cupboard door.
