Well I think I’ve teased you about this giveaway enough…on Instagram

…Monday’s birthday thoughts post…last Tuesday’s Target workout clothing post…

Enough is enough, right?

Well, I was recently contacted by a company called Fairlife whose motto is “believe in better.” They told me they had this amazing milk for me to sample.

I replied back (without reading the e-mail very closely) that I am lactose-intolerant but appreciated the offer.

Well…it turns out this milk, real milk from cows, contains no lactose. Even I, the gal who gets gassy just smelling lactose, could successfully drink a full glass of real milk made by Fairlife.

While I was skeptical and super nervous drinking a full glass of the good stuff, it turns out..I could drink this Fairlife milk without doubling over in pain or bloating like a pregnant woman.

Not only was I able to drink the most delicious chocolate milk I’ve ever had (no, I haven’t always been lactose intolerant so I have tasted milk before haha), the stats on Fairlife milk is almost too good to be true!

50% MORE protein and 50% LESS sugar PLUS more calcium than regular milk.

Are you kidding me?? More protein, more calcium, half the sugar, lactose-free AND it tastes good??

The nutrition nerd in me gets giddy just thinking about it!

How is this possible??

Keeping the cows comfortable with lots of room to breath and feeding them grass that their stomachs can digest (yeah, not all cows are fed food that they can actually digest…gah!) starts the milk out on the right track. Then with the use of a cold filtration system, they are able to filter out the lactose, a good portion of the fat, and keep the good stuff like protein and calcium in the milk.

Thank you, science and happy cows for this wonderful product.

If you are more of a list person (like me), here is the break-down of my

Dislike:

Current ad campaign. Sorry, but what does sexy ladies with their skirts flying up have to do with milk? The answer: nothing. (I am not the first one to think this…many major news outlets have spoken of the provocative ads.)

Show me an ad with happy cows or the cool filtration system or a cute kid drinking a glass of milk with a red-striped straw. //end rant

Basically, there are tons of things I love about this brand even if the ads make me scratch my head.

 

For reading this review (and checking out their website), Fairlife has agreed to give you two coupons for their amazing milk PLUS a Magic Bullet blender.

I tried out the Magic Bullet I received and it is pretty sweet.

Notes on the Magic Bullet:

  • I’m a huge fan of the blending containers doubling as storage containers and/or drinking glasses. Yay for summer smoothies!
  • It’s pretty small and compact..great for traveling according to Christa on Instagram!
  • Maybe I am just a klutz but I hurt my hand on one of the pieces of plastic sticking out unscrewing one of the containers … so be careful. 😉

 

Since Fairlife milk is only sold in select stores in Minnesota, Chicago and Denver I decided to split up the giveaway. I wouldn’t want those milk coupons to go to waste!

You can win both, so definitely enter both if you are in an area where you can redeem the coupons for free deliciously healthy milk!

Most of the options for these two giveaways are the same EXCEPT for the tweeted message.

  1. We’re big fans of Fairlife in our house! My husband discovered it recently, and it’s all he will drink milk-wise now (we like that it’s higher in protein than reg. milk.) We hope to see it in more stores soon, Lunds sells out of it quick here in Minneapolis!

  2. I like that the milk is lactose-free and high in calcium since my husband would benefit from both factors!

  3. Not a fan of some of the ads but otherwise I love everything that I read especially sustainability and traceability from grass to glass.

  5. My bf is lactose intolerant, but drinks milk anyways, which is NOT fun for me. So I’m really excited that this milk is lactose free but still tasty 🙂

  6. I’ve never heard of Fairlife before. I’d definitely be interested in trying out their skim milk.

  8. The fact that they treat the cows well, and don’t feed them a hormone-filled diet makes sense to me. As a result you’ll definitely get a better quality product. And having extra protein and less sugar is the bomb.

  9. I’ve tried this milk (I live in Chicago) and it’s AMAZING! I cannot wait to share it with friends and family.

  12. I love the idea of this milk! I am obsessed with chocolate milk but even though i am not really lactose intolerant I have a sensitivity and it always kills my stomach. This would be a great option especially with the added protein!

  13. I’m not a milk person myself but I love a company that supports healthy, happy, animals. And who wouldn’t love the world’s cutest mini blender 😉

  15. This milk company absolutely blows my mind! I never thought my regular milk could be made any other way.

  18. Looks amazing!!!!! I’ll have to try this milk 🙂 I agree with you…. that ad makes NO sense!!

  20. I’ve seen Fairlife stores here and there and been curious but haven’t gone in yet–now I will have to! And I definitely need a magic bullet for upcoming training season 😀

  23. I bought the milk because MapMyRide sent me coupons. I didn’t realize it was lactose free initially but I really feel like my body handles it better than regular milk so I guess I am milk sensitive. It tastes great and has extra protein and great code dates.

  24. I am lactose intolerant, mostly use almond milk and coconut milk, but I would try this one out too!

  25. I love the taste of milk, but I seem to be on the border of lactose intolerant so drinking it and feeling good can be difficult. I would love to see how this milk is compared to others.

  26. I love milk and I love the idea of extra protein and less sugar! I just wish they sold it near me!

  28. Omg, omg, OMG!! Milk that I could actually DRINK?! What the WHAT?! Sign me up! 😀
