CRISP & GREEN GIFT CARD
If youāre from Minnesota, this is a must! Crisp & Green is hands down, the best healthy and plant-based friendly restaurant in the Twin Cities. Jonah and I have a lunch date here almost once a week! I always love sharing my love of healthy food with my family and friends.

VITAL PROTEINS
I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides every single day. Literally. I add it to my daily smoothie! I canāt get enough of it. If youāre interested in learning more about the benefits of collagen, read this blog post! I even started using their new line of Collagen Creamers in my morning coffee.
SQUARE ORGANICS PROTEIN SNACKS
Square Organics was founded by a husband and wife team who believe that ingredients matter most. Their first products were their signature Chocolate Covered Protein Bars (these are my personal favorite!). Since then, they have expanded and created a āCrispā Protein Bar and Protein Popcorn. Use NIC20 for 20% off your order!
EATING EVOLVED CHOCOLATE
Eating Evolved has some of the best chocolate and coconut butter cups on the market. All of their products are certified organic, dairy free, gluten free, paleo, and vegan. No additives. Nothing unnatural. They like simplicity: that’s why their products don’t contain anything unnecessary. These make sweet stocking stuffers (pun-intended)! Everyone can use a little more chocolate in their life. And remember, “it’s food, not candy”!
FOUR SIGMATIC (COFFEE, ELIXIRS, HOT COCOA)
I switched to drinking Four Sigmatic Coffee this past year and canāt tell you how much I love it! It gives me the mental clarity, focus, and energy, without the crash from regular coffee. Four Sigmatic makes drinking mushrooms and superfoods delicious and easy-to-do with their Mushroom Coffees, Mushroom Superfood Blends, Mushroom Elixirs, and Mushroom Hot Cocoa. They sell tins for at-home use and single-serve packets, which are convenient to carry (and share!). I love blending their products with a cup of hot water and nut milk or mixing them into my smoothies.
MILK FROTHER
I use a this [amazon_textlink asin=’B004RCNJ9Q’ text=’Breville Milk Frother ‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’37005c66-e052-11e7-97a6-312794295f95′]every morning when Iām making my latte (with Four Sigmatic Coffee of course). For your latte lovers in your life, a milk frother is a game-changer! Seriously.
JUICER
This [amazon_textlink asin=’B003R28HWQ’ text=’juicer’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’f29445c2-d576-11e7-a359-b3b6045884f7′] is on the top of my Christmas list this year – I love making my green smoothies in the morning but would love the versatility of having a fresh pressed juice as well!
LEMON PRESS
Now, this is a kitchen tool that everyone should have. I use this exact [amazon_textlink asin=’B002XOB0P0′ text=’lemon press’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’a15e1164-d3d9-11e7-962d-31a499e78415′] every morning for my hot lemon water and my green smoothie. It makes juicing lemons completely mess-free since it catches all of the seeds for you.
FRUIT INFUSER WATER BOTTLE
I love adding fresh fruit to my water to give it some extra flavor. Let’s be honest – plain old water can get boring! This
[amazon_textlink asin=’B01MZADUO9′ text=’fruit infuser water bottle’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’75cc6dec-d3e6-11e7-b636-ef2e8f7a3292′] is the perfect gift to encourage your friends to drink more water, while adding a fun element.
HEALTHY HUMAN TUMBLER
The [amazon_textlink asin=’B011S64UJ6′ text=’Healthy Human Cruiser Tumblers’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’c7ab40c4-d56d-11e7-8169-dfa6b03b8ae3′] are a fun way to take your coffee, tea or smoothie on the go. I love their fun colors and patterns too! Use LWWNIC10 for 10% your purchase!
HEALTHY COOKBOOKS
I always love giving healthy cookbooks to people who I know enjoy cooking! [amazon_textlink asin=’1501174274′ text=’Deliciously Ella’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’8a3cd3e1-d3db-11e7-b41d-8d4cdc9f4c31′] has been one of my favorites in the plant-based cooking space lately.
Another great plant-based cookbook is [amazon_textlink asin=’1583335749′ text=’Oh She Glows’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’13bfc47a-d3dc-11e7-9519-91ec9ff95766′] – her food photography is absolutely beautiful!
ATHLEISURE + WORKOUT CLOTHES
When in doubt, a new cute athleisure or workout outfit is bound to put a smile on a fitness enthusiastās face! I always have a few things from Athleta on my Christmas list. In my opinion, Athleta has some of the highest quality, most versatile athleisure and workout clothing on the market.
These Mesh Shine Salutation 7/8 Tight are my current favorite workout pants in my wardrobe. I love how they come just above the ankle.
I wear this Criss Cross Sweatshirt multiple times a week. Itās SO soft!
Everyone needs a down vest in their closet Responsible Down Vest. I swear I live in yoga pants, a long sleeve, and a vest all fall and winter!
VIBRATING FOAM ROLLER
This is a must-have fitness gadget. This NextRoller Vibrating Foam Roller has become a necessary part of my daily workout. It incorporates vibration to aid recovery, mobility, and flexibility before and after weightlifting, CrossFit, yoga, running, cardio, or any other exercise. It’s the ideal muscle roller for self-massage and myofascial release to make sure your body is prepared to excel and remain injury free.
PRIMALLY PURE
If youāre looking for a line of 100% natural skin care products made with the absolute best and most nourishing ingredients on the planet, Primally Pure is it. Jonah and I use their deodorant on a daily basis and we both love it! I also love their lip balm and Almond and Vanilla body butter.
COCOKIND
Give the gift of healthy skin with Cocokind Holiday Trio Set! Suitable for all skin types, each unique facial treatment is packed with powerful antioxidants and vitamins that rejuvenate skin. Their NEW Eggnog (egg softening mask) can be used to soften skin AND hair, their Merry Moss (organic sea moss exfoliator) is for polishing and brightening skin, and their Ever Green (organic chlorophyll mask) is for relieving breakouts and detoxing the skin.
My favorite Cocokind product is the MYMATCHA All-Over Moisture Stick. It helps rejuvenate dry spots, protect skin from free radical damage, and moisturize skin all day long.
ESSENTIAL OIL + DIFFUSER
Having [amazon_textlink asin=’B005IHJ556′ text=’essential oils’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’d39e3da1-d473-11e7-856e-79baccd8d5ba’] and a [amazon_textlink asin=’B016WEO4MM’ text=’diffuser’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’livingwellw07-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’bdc26295-d473-11e7-8163-29cf0c0867f0′] on hand will make anyone feel instantly more zen. Lavender is the best essential oil for winding down at the end of the day. I love putting this in my diffuser when I’m getting ready for bed. I also usually put a few drops in my baths to relax. Lavender is a great choice for someone who is interested in essential oils but doesn’t know where to start.
