Giveaway: Progresso Souper You Debut
We've started to move into February, which means that some of those New Years resolutions are dying down. I've noticed that the gym is far more empty now than it was a couple weeks ago. This is the perfect time to step it up again.
Progresso offers soups - and with the temperature at five below tonight as I drove home - that offer hearty meals for winter that can help you keep your weight under control as the servings have only 1 or 2 Weight Watchers points. For those of us (me) not disciplined enough to do Weight Watchers, that translates to 100 calories per serving for the New England Clam Chowder or 70 for the Italian-Style Vegetable soup.
I was a little skeptical of the light soups, knowing that frequently the light versions of foods I try just taste ... off. I am happy to report that I actually enjoyed the five Progresso Light soups I tried. And I wasn't alone.
Mister Man's new favorite soup is New England Clam Chowder. Forget all the health benefits of eating soup in general, I'm thrilled that my sensory sensitive child can use soups to work into eating new types of foods. I've been able to get him to eat vegetables he wouldn't otherwise try by feeding him soups that contain them. He decided he likes creamy things (we're working out way up to actual sauces) because of the creamy soup. And the chewy clams? He can eat them now.
For that reason alone, I'd happily feed Mister Man (and the rest of my family) these soups - that don't contain HFCS or other ingredients we don't eat, thankfully. The fact that they actually taste pretty good - Zesty Santa Fe Chicken is my personal favorite. While some of them contain a surprise dairy ingredient meaning that Little Miss cannot eat them, there are plenty of varieties that she can eat.
Even better? Progresso is a new member of the Box Tops for Education family. For every can we eat, I can once again cut off the label and earn $0.10 for our school.
Back to the healthy debut part. Progresso announced the return of the "Souper You™ Debut" contest! From January 3rd through March 16th, you can visit Progresso on Facebook to enter for the chance to win a full makeover in New York City (not that I could use one, of course...).
Three grand prize winners will be awarded a trip for two to New York City from May 20th-22nd (awesome!). The prize includes roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay in an NYC hotel, a full makeover, a guided wardrobe shopping spree with a personal consultation at a New York City department store, and $1,000 in spending money.
To enter, you’ll need to do the following:
1) Go to Progresso on Facebook to learn more and enter the contest
2) Submit your essay (200 characters or less) telling Progresso why you love their soups that contain 100 calories or less, and why you deserve a chance to win a trip to NYC for a full fashion overhaul
3) In addition, please submit a photo of yourself that visually reinforces the theme of your essay
Once the 10 finalists are announced, you can visit Progresso on Facebook from March 30th through April 13th to vote for your favorite.
If you're more into creating your own makeover at home, you have a chance to win an identical Souper You Debut pack to the one I received. It includes a VIP coupon for a free can of Progresso soup, as well as a yoga mat, water bottle, set of aerobic bands, sport headband and two sport wristbands. And yes, I've been using mine heavily. I love that the water bottle keeps me from sloshing water all over myself while at the gym the way my old ones did.
Sound fun? I think so! So what do you have to do to win one of these Blu-Ray copies? First of all, let me stress that you must follow all the rules. If you do not follow the rules, your entry will not count!

Giveaway: Progresso Soup
In the spirit of full disclosure, I received fifteen Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups, a Progreso soup bowl, and a digital jump rope. I received no other compensation, and all opinions expressed are my own.
Thanks to Progresso and MyBlogSpark, I'm working on getting back in eating healthy and watching my portions. Let's just say that winter, being busy, and being stressed with work among other things aren't exactly the best combination for me. They were kind enough to send me sixteen different soups, and -- surprisingly -- I actually liked them.
They sent me fifteen soups, about half of which were dairy free so that Little Miss was also able to share with me. I was somewhat surprised by some of the soups that had milk ingredients (vegetable soups that were I making them would have no trace of dairy), but I'm guessing they were there to add a bit more protein.
The soups are generally between sixty and 100 calories per serving, which is a half can. For me, that's a little bit low on the calorie side, so when eating them, I generally ate an entire can for a meal (and with 160 calories for a lunch, that's still totally my idea of a very low cal and healthy lunch). They filled me up pretty well, and they weren't overly salty, which made me happy. I don't eat much salt, and I'm always leery of prepared foods because of the amount of sodium generally in them. These I could handle -- good job, Progresso! I was also very pleased to see that most of them touted having no MSG added.
For the most part, they also tasted pretty good. I won't say it's just like homemade, but I generally am not a fan of canned soups. These I'd buy. The ones with meatballs tasted a little processed to me, but especially the varieties of vegetable and chicken noodle soups were pretty tasty. And yes, Little Miss agreed!
