Tastier, Healthier, Faster Breakfast with Silk Fruit&Protein


I love to drink smoothies. Its an easy way to get vitamins and minerals I need on a daily basis. I like to add different fruits, juices and milks to make them vary. It is also a great way to my son to eat fruits and veggies he would not eat by itself. He can be picky but if I blend it up for him he thinks it a fun drink. 

Each day I make myself a smoothie for breakfast or lunch. My son has waffles and juice with a bowl of fruit. I have found that combination to be something he will consistently eat. I have been wanting him to get more protein by serving him yogurt with breakfast. Some days he will eat it other days he refuses. But each time I put it in a smoothie he will eat it. 

 I went shopping at our local Walmart for the new Silk Fruit&Protein and calculated the price of all the individual ingredients for a smoothie vs the price of the Silk and it turns out I save time and money with Silk!





Some days I am so busy I do not even have time to cut up the fruit and mix all the ingredients and just have a glass a juice. Those days I feel bad knowing we need more than just juice for breakfast. After trying the Silk Fruit&Protein I now have a quick and tasty alternative for busy mornings. Instead of having to prepare a smoothie with juice, fruit, milk and yogurt all I have to do is grab a glass and pour. How much easier could it be!

Today for breakfast I decided to not make a smoothie and just have Silk Fruit&Protein. My son still had his waffles but had Silk instead of his juice and fruit. I conducted a taste test with him to find his and my own favorite flavors.


The Strawberry Banana was my son's favorite. He had me fill up his cup with this one.

We both really liked Mixed Berry. It made him say Yummy!

He made a face with the Peach Mango but I knew he would not like it as much hes not a peach fan. But I LOVED it!




My son's favorite was just as I thought it would be, the Silk Fruit&Protein Strawberry Banana. I was surprised at my favorite, the Mango Peach. I have tried to make Peach smoothies in the past and it never turned out right. The Silk Fruit&Protein one was perfect. I will be enjoying this one more often!

All the items I buy to make home made smoothies

With Silk Fruit&Protein all I need is a glass! #SilkFruit


I was able to save time by replacing a bunch of items that I needed to put into a blender with buying Silk Fruit&Protein. Plus now when my son asks for juice I can give him Silk Fruit&Protein Strawberry Banana in place of a plain juice. This way he gets the fruit and protein he needs. Sounds awesome to me!


You can read my Google+ Story about my shopping trip to Walmart looking for the new Silk Fruit&Protein and see how my son loves to get a free cookie from the super nice bakery workers.

Breakfast for Dinner with Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls



In my house we eat Breakfast items more at dinner time than for breakfast. My son likes to eat a big meal at night more so than in the morning. I am more of a light breakfast eater too, except on weekends we do often have a big breakfast. We eat eggs and pancakes or biscuits with gravy and eggs for dinner all the time.

The last few months its been getting more difficult to get my son to eat eggs. I tried breakfast sandwiches but he just pulls out the eggs and wont eat it. I was thrilled when I saw that Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls had eggs in them. Its a great combo of eggs, bacon, cheese and bread. I am a huge fan of anything in a bread bowl so I was eager to try them.




 On the box it said Microwavable but since we dont have one ( I have not owned a microwave in about 10 years!) I figured I could just make them in the oven. I was surprised it did not have recommended oven instructions on the packaging. I placed them on a pan with foil and wrapped it up. They turned out great and a bit toasted, just how I like my breads and biscuits. The smell of the bacon filled the kitchen while they were cooking, it was great! #TysonBreakfast






While I waited for my Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls to cook I stayed busy clipping coupons. When the Bread Bowls were almost done I took out my new favorite cooking item my new toaster. I have been toasting like crazy with it! My son liked waffles with his eggs and bacon and I like a bagel with cream cheese. When I make Breakfast for Dinner I usually make eggs, bacon or sausage, waffles or pancakes and for me always a bagel with cream cheese. I always serve a fruit and a glass of juice to go with it.






The Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls were good. My son liked them a lot. He told me Yummy! The combo of bacon, cheese and eggs were something I think any kid would eat. My son can be picky but these were one thing that was perfect for him to grab and eat. He could not pick at it or take it apart so he just started to eat it. It was great to see him enjoy something with eggs in it.




The perfect Breakfast for dinner. Simple and taste great. #TysonBreakfast


 I liked that the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread bowls were easy to heat up. No mess in the kitchen and my son could grab them and eat them. I will be having my mother in law try these too. She saw the box on the counter and asked about them. I hope soon Sam's Club will have these for a taste test so everyone can try them!

Getting him to sit down to enjoy a meal was harder than any of the meal cooking lol

Bacon, Cheese, Eggs and Bread perfect combo!

Did I find Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls? Shopping Sam's Club






I have been a Sam's Club member for about 8 years. I love to get great deals and the sample days are super fun. Since having my son I have found my membership even more valuable to save money. My son has turned out to be a finicky eater, he is just like me when I was little. He likes food to be a certain way and he likes savory food.  We went shopping at Sam's Club this week in search of a new product. We were looking for Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls.






The one thing I like to have for breakfast, even when its breakfast for dinner is a good juice to go with it. My son does not like plain Orange Juice since its too tart for him. But he does like SunnyD. I picked up a bottle while we were there. He loves and I mean loves bacon! When he saw it in the Breakfast section he ran over and tried to grab some out of the case.






I shop the Frozen Breakfast section all the time for my family. We are the kind of people who eat breakfast items at anytime of the day. Having a convenient way to serve breakfast always makes things easier. Sam's Club carries many great products for Breakfast. They have sweet and savor, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches and even Cinnabon! My son is a savory breakfast food eater. I try waffles, pancakes and more and he does not like them. He will eat fruit if I serve it along side some bacon so its a battle that I am learning to take the good with the not as good. I like French Toast sticks and often eat them for dessert too. I used to purchase the breakfast sandwiches until my son decided it was funner to take them apart and throw them.


#TysonBreakfast


 While looking at the great selection of Frozen Breakfast items at Sam's Club I spotted an item I thought was not yet in California stores. I was delighted to see the new Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowl. They are a bread bowl filled with Eggs, Bacon and Cheese. I love food in a bread bowl! This is a great idea, especially for my son. I try to get him to eat eggs but he can be picky about it. I think in a combo like this and it having cheese and bacon he will eat it. I look forward to trying these next week. We purchase Tyson products weekly. My husband loves the Boneless Skinless chicken for salads and entrees, my son loves the Fun Nuggets and Anytizers and I love all of it! #TysonBreakfast








After finding the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bowls at my Sam's Club I thanked a manager for carrying them and my son and I continued to look around the store. I love to be a looky loo in there and see all the cool stuff. We checked out and then headed to the car to go get some Sam's Club gas. 






On the way out of our Sam's Club I saw a display set up to donate money for M.S. research and we donated. The door greeter at my store was super nice as she cheeked our receipt and drew a smiley face on it. Next week I will be trying the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread bowls with my family as we enjoy Breakfast for Dinner. I cant wait to share my thoughts on it with everyone.
