Starting your morning on a healthy note doesn’t have to be complicated. A smoothie is one of the easiest ways to fuel your body with nutrients and energy— especially if you’re a busy woman on the go.
As you know, BrownStyle Magazine is always on the hunt for ways to make wellness effortless. And we recently came across Bumpin’ Blends, a brand founded by a registered dietitian to bring together all the ingredients you need to make a delicious, balanced drink in minutes.
Ahead, learn about the inspiration behind the company and read our honest review of Bumpin’ Blends.
What Is Bumpin’ Blends?
Lisa Eberly Mastela created Bumpin’ Blends during a particularly chaotic pregnancy. The registered dietitian recalls a time during her third trimester when she cried over spilled chia seeds. The emotional experience (among other kitchen mishaps) made her realize that many people don’t have the “time, interest, or knowledge” to make a daily smoothie.
“I set out to help others meet their nutritional needs and nurture their day-to-day ailments in an easy, fast, and delicious way. No more crying over spilled chia seeds,” she playfully shares on her brand’s website.
Today, each packet of Bumpin Blends features cubes made with 100% organic, whole-food ingredients that are blended, frozen, and packaged to make smoothie-making quick and simple— just add milk or water!
Bumpin’ Blends: Our Honest Review
The BrownStyle team got our hands on two flavors: Watermelon Prickly Pear and Cinnamon Toast Shrink. Below, read our honest thoughts!
Dawine Dacosta, Lifestyle Contributor
“I tried both flavors, and honestly, the Watermelon Prickly Pear won me over! Once blended with milk, it was creamy, flavorful, and refreshing. The Cinnamon Toast Shrink had the benefits, but the texture felt a little chalky for me. Still, I’d grab a bag anytime I need a quick, wholesome smoothie!”
Nerissa Peralta, Lifestyle & Social Media Contributor
“I was obsessed with the mood-boosting Cinnamon Toast Shrink smoothie—it’s like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a cup! At the same time, my boyfriend loved the Watermelon Prickly Pear after a long day of fasting. These cubes make it easy to enjoy wellness without the work.”
Although our team members had different preferences when it came to favorite flavors, both ladies agreed that they loved that the cubes are packed with vitamin C and have no added sugar. It was also a bonus that you don’t necessarily need a blender— just shake and sip.
Are you a busy woman looking for a healthy way to fuel yourself in the morning? Consider adding Bumpin’ Blends to your shopping list. For under $10 a bag via a monthly subscription on their website, these smoothie cubes also make a great holiday gift for the health-conscious on your list.
