NEW Kroger CarbMaster and Greek Yogurt



A few weeks back, BzzAgent sent me some amazing coupons to try CarbMaster yogurt, CarbMaster milk, and Kroger Greek and New Greek Lite yogurt. I was really excited about this campaign, because yogurt is a huge part of my life and something I really enjoy. When I got to the store, it was easy to locate the yogurt and milk. I was immediately struck by the amount of great flavors! There were so many which made it really exciting. I had a hard time picking which flavors I wanted. I took a quick peek at the calorie content since that is always some I check and was pleasantly surprised to see only 40 calories in the Carbmaster yogurts and only 60 in a glass of milk! If these checked out, they would be a great snack that I wouldn't have to feel guilty enjoying. When I got home, I was anxious to try my new treasure! I chose the Cinnamon roll and was really impressed - so much flavor and such a great taste from Kroger. It was definitely craveable. Over the next few days, I tried the milk and the Greek varieties and was also very pleased. I love milk but have given up having it as much since it is so high in calories - but this can bring it back into my life and make it a great way to get my calcium. I was very pleased with the products offered in this new Kroger line up! Lots of flavor, low in calories, fantastic price point and great flavors to choose from. I didn't know I could expect so much from a store brand, but these are every bit as good if not better than its name brand counterparts. I am a convert both for price and taste. Thank you BzzAgent and Kroger!

Indulgent Delight



I received the Cafe Escapes variety pack to try for free from BzzAgent in the past few weeks. I received six varieties including Chai Latte, Milk and Dark Chocolate Hot cocoa, Cafe Mocha and Cafe Vanilla and Caramel. I was so excited to receive these because I have seen them at my local Target and actually wanted to try them but just hadn't yet. On first impression, they look great in my Keurig carousel stand. I love the classy look of these K-cups. But that isn't the important part, right? I have tried each of the 6 flavors and I am duly impressed! I saw that they were only 60-70 calories each and wasn't sure if I would like them or not. But for how low they are in calories, they taste rich and indulgent and they are now my guilty pleasure everyday. My favorite is the Dark Hot Chocolate - it is hot chocolate for adults. So delicious and rich and like a piece of dark chocolate in a cup. But I honestly enjoy all the flavors - they are wonderful and taste so much like a hand crafted beverage from a fine coffee house. I hope you will give these a try. The price point is really great when you figure so many fancy drinks are going for close to $5 any where at a cafe.
