Indulgence You Can Feel Good About and a Summer Giveaway!

Everyday when 3:00pm hits I want to follow the office crowd to the coffee shop for a big chocolate brownie, the vending machine for a bag of crispy chips, or anywhere else when snack foods lay in waiting. Hunger has hit me and I know it won't go away until I eat as much snack food as I get my hands on.

The only problem with snack foods are that they usually have a few more calories than the choice of an apple I usually settle on for snacking. And the only problem with apples is that they usually don't taste quite as good as snack foods....

But I have discovered a few snack foods that don't make me cringe when I see the calorie count and they all taste much better than apples!

Nature Valley Granola Thins have the crispiness I love and come in the chocolate or peanut butter flavours I crave. Plus, they have only 90 calories!

Fibre 1 Brownies come in both chocolate fudge or chocolate peanut butter flavours and celebrate simple deliciousness. Plus, they have only 110 calories!

And I've saved what I think is the best for last. Fibre 1 Chocolate Caramel and Pretzel Bars encompass my holy trinity of chocolate, caramel, and pretzels. Plus, you'll eat 20% of your recommended daily fibre and only consume 100 calories!

These treats show me that the dilemma of choosing between taste and staying healthy is over. I know I will be indulging on a regular basis!

To try a free sample of one of these snack foods, visit Life Made Delicious on Facebook, "like" their page, and request a free sample! The only trick is that you need to request your coupon before July 3, 2012 and you can only redeem your coupon on July 24, 2012, so scope out where these treats are being sold in advance!

And if you tell me in the comment box of this post, or the comment box on my Facebook page, which of the three new Fibre 1 and Nature Valley treats you're looking forward to trying most, I will enter you in my blog's first giveaway - a Fibre 1 and Nature Valley Snack Kit including samples of all the new treats and a special weekender tote ($50 value)!

This is a treat I know you won't want to miss, so if you "like" my Facebook page, you will get a second entry into my giveaway!

Please note that this giveaway is open only to Canadian residents, readers may enter on multiple blogs but may only win one prize, and that this giveaway is running only until July 3, 2012.
