First, I have to admit that I've been holding out on you, my readers. Last fall, I was sent some Whole Fruit Smoothies and Sweet Cinnamon SUPERPRETZELS to review, and then life got crazy with Isaac's arrival and I'm just now getting to tell you about them!
But, better late than never, right?
Let's start with these smoothies....
Overall, I really like these! Coming in at only 100 calories each, they're great for a low cal snack or part of a healthy breakfast. Personally, I wish they were a little bigger so that they could constitute a more substantial portion, but I get the appeal of having them at 100 calories.
These would be ideal for all you folks who are trying to lose some extra pounds with the new year. ;)
The directions say to stick them in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften, and I often just eat them with a spoon like ice cream. I could see (and had planned to before Isaac changed my plan) sticking them in my bag on the way out the door to work, where I'd expect they'd be just the right consistency by the time I would have arrived at my desk. A great little way to start the day!
I'm not sure the packaging really lends itself to drinking them through a straw like a traditional smoothie, but that's alright with me. I'm more than happy to use my spoon. :)
Let's talk flavors...Strawberry Banana, Pineapple Mango and Mixed Berry. All delicious, but my favorite was by far the Pineapple Mango. What can I say, I like-a the mango. (hehe) It had a great tropical flavor that always makes me happy.
You can find the Whole Fruit Smoothies at your local grocer in the freezer section. I'd highly suggest giving them a try!
Also, be sure to visit Whole Fruit's website, and connect with them on Facebook for special offers.
Now for the pretzels....
I've never been a huge pretzel fan, but you know if I was going to down some pretzels, they'd have to be covered in some cinnamon sugar! Pretty delicious, if you ask me.
These babies have cinnamon infused dough and come with a cinnamon sugar packet to add yourself. They bake up soft and delicious in your oven and make for a great snack. You could even have them for breakfast or even as dessert. (perhaps with a side of ice cream? oh my.)
These too can be found in the freezer section at your local grocer...give them a try!
You can find fun recipe ideas and more info on SUPERPRETZEL's website. Connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and they even have a blog!
Anyone tried either of these products? What did you think?
