Eating Healthy On the Run

I receive samples of Garden Lites in order to write this post.

It seems like I go from basically my everyday routine which is busy enough as it and then all of a sudden I am slammed with events. January I just has my normal but February has and will be totally crazy. I have 6 events this week from Tuesday to Sunday. Although I am not complaining, it makes it tough to eat healthy. Enter Garden Lites.

When I was approached by this company, I honestly thought that they would be a little to healthy for my taste, meaning they would be disgusting. But imagine my surprise when I got the samples and I actually liked them. We tried two kinds as a family, the Veggie Bacon & Potato Frittata and the Blueberry Oat Muffins, which were my favorites.

First the Veggie Bacon & Potato Frittata

I really wanted to fall in love with them. Because after all I like Veggie. I love Bacon. And you give me anything with potatoes in it you are speaking my love language. But these had onions in them. And onions and I have a love/ hate relationship. I don’t like them and they aren’t my friend. Literally and figuratively. I am not kidding, when I order tacos with my Mexican husband, I always ask for no onions- they think I am crazy. Because these had such a taste to them, I was able to eat them but I probably wouldn’t buy them for my family. But I loved the convenience of taking a few out at a time. So they still are a great alternative.

Second, the Blueberry Oat Muffins

Okay, when I first opened these up, I thought they had gone bad. They weren’t like the picture on the box, but I thought okay let me try one. I loved that once again they came in individually wrapped packages so I could take as many I wanted out to try them. And I will say the color did make me hesitate but after reading the box I realized that was the zucchini. I am glad that I decided to try them because other than the color, these things were amazingly delicious. Even my youngest Gracie, who boycotts anything healthy liked these and came back for seconds.
