Fage yogurt is amazing!

When I was asked by Bzzagent to try these yogurts and give my honest opinion about it, I was really excited. I am a yogurt connoisseur. I LOVE yogurt and especially Greek yogurt. I however had not tried the split cups by Fage (pronounced Fah-yay if you wanted to know). The idea intrigued me as often the fruit on the bottom yogurts are not quite right and I even had a friend say that sometimes they put too much fruit on the bottom of a yogurt or by the time you are done with the yogurt you realize there was alot of fruit that just didn't get mixed in correctly. So off to the store I went to try this yogurt. I chose the honey option for my first foray into Fage and was pleasantly surprised with how this worked. I could pore the entire amount on top, or I could dip my yogurt into the honey. It was easy to see how much of the yogurt and honey/fruit I had left and I wasn't left wishing I had more of one or the other. There was an amazing amount of honey in the split cup which made me very happy! And the taste of the yogurt was delicious. It has a creamy taste without being artificial in any way. Another brand of Greek yogurt almost has an artificial sweetness to it and this didn't. It is creamy and tastes like it is fresh homemade yogurt. I think this yogurt is great for providing the ability to mix the yogurt to personal preference and also being a delicious yogurt. An interesting fact to note is that Fage is the top rated Greek yogurt in Greece itself! If that doesn't tell you this stuff is good, I don't know what will! I am very impressed and will be making a regular habit of Fage in my house. BzzAgent gave me the yogurt to try for free, but the excitement is my own.

Honestly Good from Lean Cuisine

I recently accepted a campaign from BzzAgent to try Lean Cuisine's newest offerings - Honestly Good organic meals! I don't know about you, but so often it is hard to eat on the go and yet still grab healthy for you choices. It is so hard to even find a fast meal that isn't loaded with fat and calories. So many of us grab a quick meal from our grocer's freezer or hit the umpteenth drive thru for another calorie laden quick meal.

But now there is a new choice - these offerings from Lean Cuisine aren't just super tasty, they are low in calories and are actually organic too! So it is a perfect choice. I was so pleasantly surprised with these meals. I have tried the Pomegranate Chicken, Pineapple Black Pepper Beef and the Lemon Grass Salmon and have been very impressed with each one. The sauce is on the side which is a unique change from so many other frozen entrees - you can dip, dot or smother your meal according to how you like it and not have to worry about there being too much sauce on the entree unless that is your desire! The meat is fresh and cooked to perfection - I found they had a nice succulent taste and were high quality. There are adequate vegetables and grains to create a balanced meal that you can feel good about for an incredibly low calorie count.

These are a wonderful new addition to my daily menu and I feel like I am making a balanced and healthy choice. Thank you Kroger and BzzAgent for giving me the chance to sample these for free. The opinions are entirely my own - I highly recommend these healthy and fabulous tasting meals.
