Progresso Soups New You Review and Giveaway



 This year I declared I will not be on one of those commercial diet plans that require me to sign up and pay them for food or advise. I have lost weight on my own before size 24 to size 10 just simply by of course daily exercise and making smarter food choices. If it means I can't just eat anything to be healthy that's fine by me.  


I always am weary of new "diet" foods since often times they are full of artificial sweeteners or other ingredients I have never heard of. Thankfully there are foods that have been on the market a long time and actually taste good. Like Progresso soup!



I have always been a fan of soup. Its easy to heat up and makes you feel all warm and comfy when you eat it. My two favorite soups are the Santa Fe Style Chicken and the Beef Pot Roast. 
They are filling but only 80 calories per serving. They make a great lunch or pair with a sandwich for dinner. I love to have the zesty Santa Fe Style soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, especially on a rainy day like today. 
  

When the package arrived with our soup and workout gear for us to review my husband immediately declared dibbs on the clam chowder. For a minute I was going to challenge his declaration until I read the label. It contains shrimp and crab which I am allergic to. I love that the label was clear and in bold letters what it contained as far as allergens. Thank you Progresso for the labels!



The soup was all great and the workout gear we received was awesome. The kit included a yoga mat, a water bottle, headband, and aerobic bands. This was so great because my son has been doing the cutest thing ever! When I get on the floor to do sit ups he gets down there with me and does his baby version of them. He sits down puts his legs straight out and bends over at the waist and grunts when he does them. It is just the silliest and sweetest thing ever! Lately he has been trying to push me off the workout mat so he can do his sit ups on it like mommy does. When I got out the yoga mat My Blog Spark sent in our kit his little eyes lit up and he clapped. I rolled it out for him, put on the headband and he started his workout. It was so adorable. I am thankful he is mimicking a good habit like working out. He also tried the veggies from my soup and loved them! He always wants to be doing what his Mama does and I love it! 

The Work Out Baby!



Right now Progresso Soup is having a Facebook Contest called Souper You. I have entered it and encourage other soup fans to as well. I plan on replacing my lunches with a less than 100 calorie soup! I am sure this will effortlessly help me lose weight.

I love soup as the dinner meal. I will use a salad to have the fresh veggies even though the soup has veggies in it.

Progresso soup would be a healthy lunch option - instead of fastfood or microwaved calorie bombs

Thank you for hosting this giveaway

Progresso would serve as my on the go food. It doesn't take long to make so I could eat and then run versus fast food.
