Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips BzzCampaign!



I think it is great that there are so many healthier snack chips being offered nowadays. That’s why I was so happy to be invited to the Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips BzzCampaign! For this BzzCampaign I received a full size bag of each of the 2 varieties currently offered; Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips with Zesty Cheddar and Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips with Sea Salt. They also gave us 4 sample size bags of the Sweet Potato chips and coupons to pass out. And of course it was all FREE for being a BzzAgent in exchange for my review and reporting my opinion of the products to those around me…like here on this blog :)

Normally when I would think of Green Giant, I wouldn’t be thinking of snack chips…until now. I am so glad they jumped on the bandwagon of making a healthier crunchy snack to replace greasy high calorie potato chips! 

Initially I didn’t think I would like the Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips with Sea Salt; I am used to eating sweet potatoes as a sweet dish (like candied yams) and I do not usually like things that are salty and sweet (like chocolate covered pretzels…gross!). To my surprise the first time I tried them I fell in love, these are my favorite of the two kinds offered.  They were not too sweet tasting, and the hint of sea salt added a great flavor. My husband refused to try them, but our young nieces and teenage nephew really liked them also, so they are kid friendly too.  And you can feel better about feeding them to your family knowing that they have a whopping 40% less fat than regular potato chips per serving! And they have 14 grams of whole grain goodness.

The Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips with Zesty Cheddar had a great flavor eaten plain also, but I really enjoyed dipping them in salsa. I love the fact that they are made from real vegetables such as broccoli and carrots. And they have 17 grams of whole grain per serving. I was able to get my husband to try this kind, and he enjoyed them a lot. We think they are a lot like regular Doritos, and we used them to make some awesome nachos which not only tasted good but were much better for us than using regular salty tortilla chips.

Overall I highly recommend these chips, and they can be found at a very reasonable price; my mom was ecstatic when she found them at Kroger on sale for $1 a bag, especially since I had shared an $.85 off coupon with her!

Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash is Awesome!



 Ever since my mother introduced me to foam hand cleaners, I have been a big fan. I hate that most pump liquid hand cleaners tend to drip and get all goopy. So I was super excited to be invited to the Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash BzzCampaign! Now if you have read my previous BzzCampaign blogs, you know that by being a BzzAgent I get things to try out for FREE in exchange for my review of the product. For this I received a Lysol Touch of Foam antibacterial hand cleaner in Creamy Vanilla Orchid scent.

 First of all the scent is spectacular. Not only that, it isn’t too strong or weak of a scent. It is also available in 2 other scents; Rose & Cherry Bloom and Wild Berry Bliss. I wash my hands very frequently in the kitchen, so that is where I placed it. I love that it kills 99.9% of germs on contact. What I find even more awesome than that is the fact that the pump itself also has antimicrobial properties to resist odor causing bacteria! Since the micro-bubbles are moisturizer enriched, it doesn’t dry your hands out, they are left silky smooth and smelling great.

 My bottle has lasted a very long time (and let me repeat, I tend to wash my hands A LOT in the kitchen) so it is well worth the price. The non-drip foam is also very easy for kids to use without making a mess.
