Free Sample: Fiber One Cereal

FitSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 02:30:00 PST

If you are looking to eat healthier, you definitely need to include a healthy breakfast into your game plan. While experimenting with new foods is a great way to add variety to your diet, you might not want to buy a whole huge box of a new cereal because you may hate it.

That is why I am liking this free sample of Fiber One being offered by General Mills through their Eat Better America newsletter. To receive a free pouch of the cereal you do have to sign up for their monthly health e-newsletter, which takes about 30 seconds. The newsletter includes recipes and healthy eating tips as well as coupons for General Mills products.

I have never tried this cereal but know the importance of a high fiber diet so I am curious about how it tastes. I'll let you all know what I think of the cereal when I receive it in six to eight weeks.

FREE Sample Alert: Wildwood Soyogurt

FitSugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 15:15:00 PDT

Wildwood Organics, makers of the delicious Southwest tofu burgers, have just come out with a new product - Soyogurt.

To show you how delicious it is, they are offering free coupons to FitSugar readers. Just go to the Wildwood Organics website, fill out the information form, and they'll send you coupons for 2 free cups of Wildwood Soyogurt.

Want to hear more about this soyogurt and see what it really looks like? Then

This Soyogurt is great news for people who want the beneficial bacteria found in yogurt, but who can't eat dairy products, or are watching their cholesterol. It's certified organic, kosher, vegan (contains no animal products), cholesterol free, low in fat, high in fiber, made in a nut, dairy, and gluten free facility, and contains 210mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.

How does it taste? I have to say that if you are used to eating cow's milk yogurt, this Wildwood Yogurt has a much closer consistency than Whole Soy's soy yogurt. I liked it just as much as Stonyfield Farms O'Soy yogurt, but Soyogurt has more fiber. It tastes fresh and creamy, and has just the right amount of sweetness. The fruit flavors are my favorite (mmm Peach).

	Wildwood Soyogurt Vanilla	6 oz Whole Soy & Co. Vanilla	6 oz O'Soy Stonyfield Farms Vanilla
Calories	160	150	150
Total Fat	3g	3g	2g
Cholesterol	0mg	0mg	0mg
Sodium	40mg	25mg	40mg
Carbs	30g	28g	26g
Fiber	5g	2g	4g
Sugar	21g	12g	21g
Protein	5g	6g	7g
Calcium	20%	30%	15%
Taste	Perfect consistency - not at all lumpy. It was thinner than the Whole Soy, but not as runny as the O'Soy. The vanilla flavor is not very strong, but still tasty, and not at all tangy.	Thick and creamy, not as sweet as the O'Soy, delicious vanilla flavor	Thinner than the Whole Soy, closer in consistency to regular cow's milk yogurt and has that same slight tangy taste, and a great fresh vanilla flavor

It's FREE sample alert time again and this time it's allergy medication. I'd say it's very appropriate since this is one of the worst allergy seasons ever.

They come in two flavors - Original Mint and Citrus Burst. Personally, I like to keep some form of allergy relief in my purse in case I have a run in with a cat (or blossoming tree for that matter) -- Sample sized Alavert tabs are perfect for just that, especially since water is not needed to take Alavert.

To get your free samples, just visit here and fill out the information along with answering two questions on your current allergy medication preference. It's super quick, I promise.

Free Sample: Nature Made Fish Oil Capsules

FitSugar — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 02:30:00 PDT

You all know how much I love free samples...you know "try it before you buy it." You all know how much I love Omega-3 Fatty Acids, since I sing its praises daily. Well here's a free sample that combines the two: Nature Made Fish Oil Supplements.

Each capsule contains 1200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, and while there is no official RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) for omega-3 fatty acids, the National Institute of Health recommends 4 grams of it daily for adults. Omega-3s are great for a lot of reasons but mainly because they have anti-inflammatory and mood stabilizing properties, and they have been found to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and lower cholesterol. If you are looking for ways to get more of these fats in your diet check out That's Nutty for fishless ways to get this fat in your diet. Or you can try this Fish Oil supplement.

To get your sample all you need to do is go to this site, and fill out the required information to receive your samples in the mail. It takes less than 60 seconds to fill out the form and you should receive your sample in the mail in 4 to 6 weeks.
