We just finished up an awesome giveaway of Fit Quickies -5-Minute, Targeted Body-Shaping Workouts, due to the generosity of the author, Lani Muelrath. THANK YOU LANI, for offering your book to one of our lucky readers. For those of you who visited our giveaway blog with Lani, you all know how much I raved about how fabulous Lani is, and could not stress enough to pre-order her new book (in addition to receiving a life changing gift from Lani for pre-ordering). If you did not have the pleasure of reading the post, CLICK HERE to read last week’s giveaway post, and to go check out the details of the book, read my interview with Lani, learn how to receive your free pre-order gift, and learn all about Lani Muelrath! You can also watch the book video trailer by CLICKING HERE.
Lani, and I would like to extend our congrats to the lucky winner of Fit Quickies
DORCAS MARTIN!!!
Hmmmm, so I guess I should reveal the new SURPRISE GIVEAWAY, huh?
All I have to say is: Lani Muelrath ROCKS! She is being generous…AGAIN, and offering up a SECOND GIVEAWAY! YEP…YOU HEARD ME! How about them fuji apples?? (my favorite,lol)
WHY???….you ask!!! BECAUSE SHE LOVES THE PBJ FAMILY, that’s why!! That, and she loves to GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH!
However, this giveaway, we are going to change things up a bit, and use a different “entry” method. SERIOUSLY…THE PLANT-BASED FITNESS EXPERT is giving YOU another CHANCE to win her NEW BOOK!!
Now, for the excitement!!
For another chance to win your very own copy of Fit Quickies, you MUST post your answer below as a comment, to these two questions:
-
What is your favorite healthy food?
-
How do you feel you would benefit from Lani’s book, Fit Quickies?
Again, you can read all about the New Book, and your free bonus gift by checking out my previous giveaway post, by CLICKING HERE. Again, you can also watch the book video trailer by CLICKING HERE.
Below is a list of extra items you can complete that will give you bonus entries in the giveaway. The more items you complete, the more bonus entries in your name, the better chance you have at winning! While answering your questions, be sure to list each item you complete within the same comment as your answer. (You DO NOT have to leave a separate comment for each entry). I trust that you will be honest in your comments. Besides, we are all PBJ’s, and PBJ’s stick together…right? If you already do one of the below items, just comment that you already do the item.
Example:
1st question: Surprisingly, my favorite healthy food is mushrooms. Before embarking on my plant-based journey, I despised mushrooms (and that is putting it nicely). I eat mushrooms every day now, as I read somewhere that mushrooms are great for helping prevent breast cancer. DUH…I am tearing up those mushrooms now, lol!2nd question: I cannot wait to get my paws on Fit Quickies. I could benefit greatly from the entire book, but if I had to choose one that I could improve the most on, it would have to be the fitness. I am a runner, and used to run 5 days a week, until I ran into “knee” issues. I have only been running a little under a year, so I could benefit tremendously from Lani’s Fit Quickies. I do not go to the gym, or do any other type of exercise. All I do is run, so I am excited to start working muscles I forgot I had.
Entries: I completed items 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. I already do items 3, 5, 6, and 8.
The reason for the “Bonus Entries”, other than to give you extra opportunities to win, is so that we can get to know YOU. I LOVE meeting like-minded individuals, and sharing stories, recipes, and resourceful information. Basically, I love my fellow PBJ’s! We have much to gain from having a GREAT support system to help us along on this journey.
**NOTE** FIT QUICKIES GIVEAWAY IS ONLY OPEN TO READERS IN THE
U.S. AND CANADA
HOWEVER…TO MY INTERNATIONAL READERS ONLY, YOU MAY FOLLOW THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS TO ENTER YOUR VERY OWN GIVEAWAY! BUT I AM KEEPING YOUR “GIFT” A SURPRISE!!

Favorite healthy food? Portabello mushrooms. <3<3<3<3<3
And holy cow, 5 minutes? If it works as it says it does, I would definitely benefit from it. I don't always stick with workout plans, usually it's a time commitment thing. Cruddy excuse, but. It happens. (And,I need to get motivated to change that, book or not!
)
Oh, I've done 1,2,3,6, (maybe 5? I'll have to go sign up later, or check to see if I have. I'm not awake yet!
Hey Tina….thanks for entering our surprise giveaway. And mushrooms are the bees knees. LOVE THEM. Good luck to you!
mmmm…Portabello! Good choice.
Nice to meet you, Tina!
Lani
Hey Tina,
I just added a NEW Giveaway Entry…Item #15. Go check it out, if you are interested
So far it’s mushrooms, huh? I was going to say it all along, so am not changing now. I liked them a lot before going PB, but now use the portabello minis and sometimes the regular ones, and really love the taste and love working with them.
Anything to help me get my rear in gear here would be so very appreciated!! It’s easy for me to be PB now, but still so hard to exercise and boy do I need it at my age, even if I’m “skinny.”
So… I’ve done 1, 2, 3, 4 I think–wasn’t sure about what I should see afterwards, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
I’d already done 6 or wouldn’t have known about this!
(P.S. if I get this, it was worth the work!)
Hey Joanne!
Mushrooms ROCK!
Regarding #4 (Join our fb group), when you clicked it, you are directed to the group page. If you are not already a member, just click where it says “Join group” or something like that. We would welcome you to the PBJ family!
Good luck on the giveaway!
Hi Joanne,
I just added a NEW Giveaway Entry, if you are interested. Item #15….Go check it out!
I’m a mushroom lover, too…but, KALE has got to be my fave! The store was out of it the last two times I went, and boy was I bummed. I really think it’s catching on! People have asked me what I do with it while I’m bagging and I give them a few ideas. NEVER AGAIN! haha
Fingers crossed!!!
I’ve been going to the gym, taking dance lessons,and Zumba to get in shape…but, I feel like I need to be mixing up and adding to what I am doing which is where fit quickies would really come in handy…it looks like an amazing book!
I did almost all of the above except 2, 9, 13 & 14. One number needs to be confirmed, then I will finisher up
KALE!! Who would have ever thought you could actually eat it, lol!! Way to go on staying in shape. I also just added a brand new Giveaway Entry…Item #15…go check it out if you are interested. Good luck, Mandi.
Really? Kale your fave? How do you usually prepare it? For me it’s most often in soup.
Thanks for your entry!
Yes Lani…I don’t know what it is about it..maybe the texture? I love it in salads… soups (like you:)…or steamed with minced garlic,fresh squeezed lemon juice, himalayan pink salt & pepper.. YUMMO! I will try to enter #15 Laura, but it may be above and beyond my computer abilities
Will let you know…thanks ladies!!!
Mandi…I just right clicked the picture and saved to my desktop, and then attached it to my page. Those “widget” codes do not work for me
Good Luck!
Mandi,
how do you like to prep kale for salads? Would love to hear about that – you mean just chopped in raw?
And i can help you as needed with #15! It just depends on if you want to post to fb, put on website, or to Pinterest, or all of the above. Feel free to ask me what you need.
Lani

1. Oatmeal is my favorite food. Never really cared for it before, now I eat it every day.
2. I have a rather busy schedule and sometimes it feels like a challenge to get a work out in. Fit Quickies would really come in handy.
I already do 8, 11, 12.
Jodie, I can completely relate to the “Oatmeal”. I never liked it unti this summer. Now, I love it with mixed berries. It is great to meet you, and good luck on the giveaway!
Hi Jodie! I too have oatmeal far more mornings than not and find it absolutely delish, whether rolled or steel cut – and sometimes even cooked whole!

My new favorite food is radishes. All kinds. I just love cutting them up on a salad, eating them raw…so good.
I am fairly active already, but I get on kicks and then just blob out for a bit. So I am looking for a quick, fit, pick me up. Sounds like Fit Quickies is for me!
I already do #2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12. I plan to do #10 today!
Tracy, I LOVE RADISHES!! That is one veggie I have always loved.
Best of luck on the giveaway! Thanks for being a part of the PBJ family
Hi there! I enjoy so many healthy foods, it’s hard to pick one as a favorite! Right now i’m thinking about a nice hearty bowl of steel cut oats. Yum!
I am hoping to get Lani’s book for my mom. Then of course I’ll borrow the book to read for myself, and possibly learn how to build some muscle so I’m less of a wimp
I’ve completed entries 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15
Cassie, you are sooooo correct. There are so many delicious healthy foods out there. Oatmeal was one that I previously did not like, until my taste buds change. Now, I love oatmeal with mixed berries.
You are so sweet to think of your momma. Mom’s are the bomb! (did that rhyme? lol) You are a loving, and thoughtful daughter. Your mom MUST be proud.
Best of luck in the giveaway!
1. My favorite healthy food is kale. I never tried it before I started eating a plant based diet and now eat it several days a week! I have even gotten my kids to eat kale chips! They are now my daughter’s favorite snack!
2. I really need motivation to exercise and I am hopeful that Fit Quickies is just what I need to get me back to exercising and eating healthier!
Judy…Kale Chips ROCK! Good luck on the giveaway
1st Question: I want to say kale, because I also never had eaten it before embarking on a plant based diet. I like it so much now I even grew it in a community garden last summer! So I would have to say, soy beans and edamame, and soy bean products, especially tofu. Tofu is so versatile! I can make tofu scrambles and don’t miss eggs. I use it to make vegan mayo. I can make desserts with it, main dishes with it, and I use soy milk on my cereal and as a replacement for cream in my coffee. My boyfriend, who started this with me, had never looked a square of tofu in the eye before eating plant strong, and now he loves it! So thankful for soy!
2nd Question: The only thing lacking from my new lifestyle is exercise. I am in a lot of pain every day, yet I know if I started to exercise much of it would be alleviated. I would love the motivation I would find between the pages and everything else it had to offer.Exercise is the lost piece for my new lifestyle.
I have completed entries 1,3,4,5,6,8,11,12,13, and 15.
Hi Pamela!
I love Kale as well!! And tofu is warming up to me, lol. It sounds like Fit Quickies would definitely help you regarding finding the motivation, through your mindset, and excercising with quick, easy exercises.
Best of luck in the giveaway!
Thank you EVERYone so much for your entries and your enthusiasm in this contest – and I wish I could send each and every one of you a copy just for entering! Good luck to all.
By the way, I JUST got an email from Dorcan Martin, winner #1 – and her book already arrived! She sent me the most amazingly beautiful response, I just have to get it up on the plant-based fitness blog asap. So excited!
Thanks Laura and PBJ team for putting this together. I so appreciate it!
Yeah!! The PBJ family is thrilled we were able to hang with you for a couple weeks. Thank you so much for your generosity, as we are ALL looking forward to your new fabulous book! So excited for winner #1, and also excited for winner #2.
Looking forward to speaking with you next week on our PBJ show! YOU ROCK, and the PBJ’s are thrilled to have you as part of the family.
I have become a huge fan of kale, which shocks me, because I was NEVER interested in leafy greens. Growing up, one taste of canned spinach ruined it for me. lol Now, I buy both bagged, chopped kale to add to soups and dishes; as well as loose, large leafed kale to make kale chips. They are sooooooo goooooddd!!! Make me feel good too!
And I would love to have a copy of the book, because I need all of the guidance, motivation & inspiration I can get. I have learned so much from so many wonderful people over the last year, and I get truly excited everytime I ‘discover’ something new that I can share with my friends & family. None of my books ever sit collecting dust. I circulate them everywhere in hopes of helping do my part to change lives.
Christa, I was sooooo surprised that I actually liked Kale. It had to grow on me, but now…I can’t live without it. Kale chips rock!!
Good luck on the giveaway
1. My current favorite healthy food is kale. I knew it was really great for me, but I was leery of trying it. When I saw a fresh frilly bunch at the store, I decided it was time to try it. Guess what: It is delicious! It is good with balsamic vinegar. Ann Esselstyn says to “massage” the dressing into the kale with your hands, and this is a fun and tasty way to prepare it. I also love to throw torn pieces into soups and other hot dishes to add nutrition transparently.
2. I have already preordered a copy of Fit Quickies, and I would love to have a copy for my friend Pat so we can go on this journey together. We could both benefit greatly from Lana’s coaching.
Bonus: Done 1, 11, 12, 14
Carol, Kale is one of the foods that had to grow on me. Now…I absolutely LOVE KALE! Ann is spot on with the “massaging” of the Kale. Sounds weird, but definitely works, and tastes better.
Like you, I am so excited to get Fit Quickies, and I think it is wonderful that you are wanting to win a copy for your friend. You are the BEST!
Good luck in the giveaway!
Thanks, Laura. And of course, I meant LANI’s coaching–see how much my mind needs to get fit??!!
[...] of our Second Chance, Surprise Giveaway, was Mandi! Thank you Mandi for sharing your love of Kale with us. Hail to the Kale, as Chef AJ [...]
