last saturday, adam and alexander took a trip to the big apple to be on Fox Business Channel’s show Your Money, Your Questions. the pair shared a discussion with hosts Dagen and Tracy and special guest Jordan Zimmerman, founder of Zimmerman, and Barry Nalebluff, founder of Honest Beverages.

“this was our first time on TV and i’m really happy with how it went. we were given invaluable knowledge from experts of the marketing and retail industries,” Adam told me (Alexander) while we mixed cereal at the warehouse the next day. “the screen shots of our product and website were cool too,” he added.

special thanks to Fox Business Channel for allowing us to share our story!  we will take the advice we learned on the show to heart and hopefully get a chance to come back on and update everyone on our progress.  next time, we’ll try not to watch ourselves on the screen to the left while being filmed (oops!).

with the blink of an eye, an entire year has passed since we launched meandgoji.com. to celebrate, we created a special microsite (social media lingo) and whipped up a little video contest. we are giving away free cereal to anyone who participates (easy peasy!), and a $100 gift certificate to the most creative entry.

check out out [me] & goji one year here

all you have to do is watch the video at the link above and post a video response telling us what you love about [me] & goji and what you would like to see next from us. all the details can be found at “[me] & goji one year” at the link above.

thank you to everyone who helped us reach this milestone. your support, your feedback, and your willingness to spread the word made it possible. we have lots of exciting things planned for Year 2 and welcome your suggestions for others. and, as always, happy mixing!

keep an eye out for an in-depth recap of Year 1 coming soon on our blog.

one of the most frequent pieces of feedback we receive goes something like this: “there are so many choices, i don’t know what to pick!”

while we believe a big part of our website’s appeal is the (literally) BILLIONS of possible combinations, we do realize this abundance of choice can be quite intimidating.  so our solution (drum roll, por favor): THE CEREAL STORE

we revamped our recommendations pages with 15 tried, tested and tasty cereal & granola mixes of the healthiest foods on earth.  for each mix, we highlight the nutritional info, the core benefits, a brief description, one or two testimonials from the testing process, and even a few extra ingredients that go well with this mix if you feel like spicing it up!

we plan to add more mixes along the way (psst: [me] & goji kids coming soon!), so continue to send us your suggestions, and if you try one of The Cereal Store mixes, please give it an honest review!

so check out our new cereal store and send your taste buds on a adventure for some Plum Island Pirate’s Booty, grab some cereally INVIGORATING energy, or take in a San Marino Sunrise.

We are extremely excited to announce that The Sports Club / LA in NYC is now offering [me] & goji in their cafe!

The Sports Club / LA is one of the finest sports and fitness complexes in the world and every amenity they offer is “created to inspire you, challenge you, and surpass your every expectation.”

For our new venture, we teamed up with the talented nutrition and wellness coach, Lara S. Sutton of LSM Nutrition to design 4 custom mixes for the members of The Sports Club /LA.

cereally INVIGORATING: this mix sparks quick starts and sustained energy. your body efficiently converts the natural sugars in apple and banana into quick energy and the Lysine in amaranth helps produce collagen, the protein that fortifies bones and tendons.

Recipe ID: 121475 Flaxed and Flaked, Apple x2, Banana x2, Zante Currant

cereally REVIVING: this mix replenishes. the nutrient-dense, free-radical killing goji berries re-charge your body with 11 essential minerals and 18 amino acids while the simple carbs restore muscle glycogen and aid nutrient absorption.

Recipe ID: 121476 Artisanal Cereal, Goji x2, Maine Wild Blueberries x2, Almond

whoa! PROTEIN: this mix satisfies your appetite & your muscles by packing 8 grams of straight-from-nature (not scientists) protein and 5g of fiber. with only 4g grams of sugar, you can be confident you are getting the most out of each calorie you put in.

Recipe ID: 121478 Samurai Wheat, Wheat Germ, Strawberries x2, Soy Nuts x2, Pumpkin Seeds x2, Walnuts, Pistachios

GRANOLA-LA: this granola nourishes and inspires with crunchy textures and colorful superfoods that fight free-radicals and vitalize your taste buds. get it? got it? goji!

On tuesday and wednesday, Adam joined Lara and our director of new business, George, at the Upper East Side location for a tasting event.  We sampled the mixes and received some great feedback from the members.

Thank you to Kevin, Lara and everyone at The Sports Club / LA for setting up the event.

Stay tuned for more from this partnership, and if you know of somewhere that you think is a good fit for [me] & goji, send George an e-mail!

make a mix, plant a tree

1 cereal = 1 tree

in celebration of earth day, [me] & goji will make a donation to American Forests to have one tree planted for each Cereal Capsule ordered on Wednesday, April, 22.

American Forests is a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration, a pioneer in the science and practice of urban forestry, and a primary communicator of the benefits of trees and forests.

the [me] & goji forest

if you order 1 mix, we’ll plant 1 tree. if you order 4 mixes, we’ll plant 4 trees. get your whole office to order, and we’ll plant a forest!

plant more trees: forward this along to your friends and family!

planting trees is as easy as eating a proper breakfast: start planting

it’s nice and cool in boston: great day for a race!

we have had a bunch of requests for a way for co-workers, sports teams, or other groups to order together and save on shipping.  our solution: cereal sashimi.

we created an order form with all our ingredients inspired by the “check-box” sashimi order forms at sushi restaurants.  get your group together and simply check off the boxes of the ingredients you want in your cereal and fax them over to us.

shipping is FREE for orders of 8 or more Cereal Capsules.

below is a pic from the Family Care Center in Tewksbury MA where all the employees got to design their own mix for National Secretary’s Day and National Nurse’s Day. so cool!

cereal sashimi is great for personalized corporate gifts, buying clubs, sports teams and any group that wants to eat healthy and save on shipping.

e-mail contact@meandgoji.com for the Cereal Sashimi order form today!

hi.

starting this week, our returning customers will notice that their sleek Cereal Capsules are slightly shorter than their predecessors. one inch shorter, to be exact.  don’t worry, we are still shipping the same ammount of cereal and granola (600g, 21+oz), but we have eliminated empty, wasted space.

cereal capsule size comparison

why shorter Cereal Capsules?

-more sustainable: the  amount of materials used in the packaging and labels was decreased by 8.3%, meaning significantly less carbon dioxide emissions in the creation of the packaging.

-more functional: the main purpose of packaging is to protect the product. we discovered that the excess space created from cereal settling during shipping caused flakes to jostle around and crush easier.  the new size keeps cereal fresher and crunchier.

-more portable: the new size fits more comfortably in cabinets and is easier to take on trips, hikes, to school and in the car.  cereal on the go!

how much cereal does a Cereal Capsule hold compared to a regular cereal box?
