Vitalicious 50-Calorie Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes Review & Giveaway Ends 1/27/12 at 7 PM EST

Vitalicious has just launched a 50 Calorie Brownie just in time for New Year Resolutions.  I was given the opportunity to sample these and they are also offering a giveaway for my blog followers.  I received these brownies last week and immediately opened them up and tried one.  It was really moist and it tasted delicious.  I have tried the vita-tops and the original brownies in the past, so I knew that I would love these as well.  These are so good and only 50 calories.  I am so happy to have a found a nice treat that I can feel good about eating.

With 2g of protein, 6g of fiber, 14g of carbs, only 1g of fat plus 15 vitamins and minerals, the all-natural Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes are loaded with as much nutrition as they are with gooey chocolate goodness. VitaCakes are made from all-natural ingredients and whole grains without any artificial coloring or preservatives of any kind. Plus, it only takes 7 minutes to “walk off” the 50 calories contained in each Mini VitaCake.[1]

“It’s the ultimate ‘have your cake and eat it, too’,” says Aryeh Hecht, founder and president of Vitalicious. “Since these new VitaCakes will satisfy your craving for chocolate and leave you feeling full, any time is now the perfect time to indulge, without the guilt.”

Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes are now available exclusively for purchase online at www.vitalicious.com and are $21.00 for a 24-pack or $34.99 for a specially discounted 48-pack. For more information, please visit www.vitalicious.com.

Review:

Country Cupboard Cookies sent two dozen cookies for me to try and review.  The Signature Holiday Cookies came in a very nice box with a beautiful ribbon on it.  As soon as the package arrived, I ripped the outer box open to find the most beautiful box full of amazing cookies.  I noticed the gingerbread cookies first and then the vanilla cookies and the peanut butter cookies.  All together there were 12 packages of 2 cookies each inside the box. 

Doesn't that look delicious?  I tried the chocolate chip cookies first.  I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of chocolate chips in these cookies.  Each bite is full of chocolate chips.  They are soft and fresh and wonderful!  Country Cupboard Cookies are baked from scratch in small batches without any preservatives.  I have really enjoyed each of the cookies that I have personally tasted.  I have tried the snickerdoodle, old fashioned vanilla, peanut butter chocolate chip and orange cranberry pecan.  Each of these is so very good.  They are good sized cookies.  One cookie is very filling the perfect serving size.  If you would like to enter the same box that I received just enter the giveaway below.

Kinnikinnick Foods Inc. Review & Giveaway Ends 10/02/11 at 7 PM EST

Kinnikinnick Foods sent me some items to try out and review.  I received the Pancake Mix, Panko Crumb, Pizza Crust & Choc KinniTOOs.  I was so excited to try these out and let you all know what I thought.  The first thing we did was tear into the choc KinniTOOs.  

Grab a cold Glass of Milk...or Soy Milk...Or Potato Milk...or Almond Milk and decide. Will you eat the center first?

My Mom tried these and really liked them.  I had a few and was impressed as well.  These are some of the best gluten free cookies we have had.

One night for dinner we had the pizza crusts.  We made our own personal pan pizzas.  These crusts were really good.  They got crispy in the oven and cooked as described in the instructions.  I really loved these and would definitely use them again.  They are great for a quick and easy dinner that the kids will enjoy!

Pancakes are a favorite around here.  I was a little worried that these weren't going to be that good.  I don't know why but I just had trouble believing we were going to like these.  Guess what?  We all loved them.  I will use this mix from now on.  The whole family ate these and loved them!

I haven't used the Panko bread crumbs yet, but I was impressed with all the other products that I know this one will be good too!  You can order these products and more on their website here.  If you would like to enter to win a selection of their products to try for yourself enter the giveaway below.

Supreme Protein Bars Review & Giveaway Ends 9/30/11 at 7 PM EST

I received 3 boxes of Supreme Protein Bars to sample and review.  I was lucky enough to try the Peanut Butter and Jelly, Caramel Nut Chocolate, and Peanut Butter Pretzel Twist.  In case you haven't heard about Supreme Protein, here's a little information from their website:

The Award-Winning Masterpiece of Flavor and Performance

Delicious, nutritious and convenient, Supreme Protein® just might be the ultimate functional food. Each sensational flavor is nutritionally designed to significantly impact your physique-enhancing goals.

With numerous major awards in the last year alone, including “Best in Category� and “Product of the Year� from major publications and retailing associations, it’s little wonder that Supreme Protein® is such a runaway sensation.  Enjoy your favorite flavor today!

I have to tell you that I was impressed with the taste of these bars.  I had no idea that a protein bar could taste this good.  My favorite was the Peanut Butter Pretzel Twist.  I love pretzels and I love peanut butter.  This is a great combination.

The Peanut Butter and Jelly was a close second.  I truly was impressed with the flavor and taste of these protein bars.  I love them!

I enjoyed all of the flavors that I tried . They have four other varieties that I am sure I will love as well.  Each bar contains 15g of protein which is amazing.  They are truly filling.  The Supreme Protein Bars can be purchased at CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, GNC and thousands of other retail locations.
