"A Healthier Me: 2011" GoPicnic Meals {Review & Giveaway}

So I'm eating healthier at home.  On track!  Motivated!  Nothing's getting in my way!  Then, I'm asked to chaperon my child's field trip!  Yikes!  We'll be gone all day.  Either I grab something at the place oohh so super tempting.  Snow cones, burgers and pop, oh my!  Maybe I pack a nice grilled chicken breast salad... well, no then I'd need to do the whole ice pack thing.  Or enjoy warm lettuce and tomatoes..not to mention salmonella.

Or I can GoPicnic!

My Thoughts:

Let me start by saying I love that it's shelf-stable!  We have 4 kids and if we go anywhere I have to pack enough stuff without adding in the need to bring ice and making sure everything is at the right safe temp.  So pleased with that.  Sometimes you just want grab and go!

Two top factors that also get high marks with me, price and selection!  Did you see that price for the kids meal?  Under 2 bucks.  You can't grab anything this convenient and well made for that price!  Most importantly it's something my children would truly enjoy eating.

I tried the Salmon, they had me at Chili Lime!  Loved it!  The spread was very rich and flavorful.  Really a hint of lime and chili.  Not overwhelming. The cracker flavor and spread went together very deliciously! Found out I'm not a big fan of Edamame.  I wasn't even sure what it was, so I Googled it! LOL .  They're green soybeans.  But unbelievably healthy for you, so I may have to give them another try.  Also in my picnic...chocolate!  Yum!  A small square of organic dark chocolate.  They say the darker the chocolate the healthier!  My picnic meal rocked!

Hubby has the pleasure of trying the Steak.  While I sat and took in all the flavors of the whole meal.. oohing and ahhing..commenting on the tastes, Hubby was going to town!  I dare not ask him while he was chowing down, though it was very apparent he was enjoying it.  I didn't even get a chance to do the whole, "I'll give you a cracker if you give me a cracker"!  When he was through I asked what he didn't like.  {Always my first question LOL} He said the spread was a bit strong, kinda catches you by surprise.  But that it grew on him.  Which is fair, considering we're not use to fancier cheeses.  Provolone, Swiss, Cheddar and American is pretty much it. :)

My overview of it all.  Awesome taste, great prices, HEALTHIER!  So, grab your family and GoPicnic!
