Crofter’s Review + Giveaway!!

Howdy guys!!! Today was such a good/ busy day with the madre.  I was able to accomplish a couple of things including setting up my electric for the new apartment (extremely important to have lights…how else will I ever be able to find the jar of almond butter whilst midnight snacking ;)) and I found a coffee table for $12. Oh yeah…I’m a serious bargain shopper. Besides, the question I asked myself while shopping with my mom was, “Would I rather spend $40 on a piece of furniture or save that money for my impending trip to Whole Foods?” Clearly my love for larabars, peanut butter, and granola won out…but of course there’s no surprise there 🙂

In other news…I’m loving all of the fresh fruit and veggies that summer has to offer. I have been living off of watermelon and bluebs.  I think every time I pass through the kitchen I stop by the fridge for a couple bowls a piece of watermelon.  So yummy 🙂

Before I get to the review, here are my eats from today 🙂

Breakfast- 2 FRESH apricots (so juicy and delish) with a veggie egg white omelette thingy with salsa and guac

Before leaving on my bargain shopping adventure I had this creation- Greek yog with bluebs and blueberry walnut granola…this will def be making a repeat appearance tomorrow 🙂

Lunch was a little different today…not the standard EPIC salad (I know…you are so shocked right now). I had a turkey, hummus, lettuce, and tomato sandwich on Great Harvest Dakota bread (the best bread EVER!!) with a bowl of butternut squash soup and of course…tons of watermelon!

After lunch I lazed around a bit and then got motivated enough to do my p90x workout for the day (don’t know how cuz I was seriously pooped after my run this morning). After, I was starving so I whipped up this smoothie creation. I made it in my new blender that I was forced to get because my parents wont let me take the blendtec to my new apartment 😦 Good news…the blender worked fine (although I’m still gonna miss the ULTIMATE blender).
In the blender went: 1 banana, 1 C almond milk, a couple ice cubes, a small handful of frozen broccoli, some stevia sweetener, cocoa powder, and some chocolate amazinggrass powder! This smoothie was the best one I have had in a long time!! Delish…but next time I think I might add peanut butter to the mix 🙂

Dinner- I got my EPIC salad in for the day 🙂 greens, leftover roasted sweet tater, turkey, cottage cheese, raisins, and roasted red pepper vinaigrette.

Now onto the fun stuff…my review!!

The awesome folks over at Crofter’s Organic sent me a coupon for a free jar of their fruit spread of my choosing. I have seen this jelly in the store for so long, but always resisted buying it. I was soooo excited to go to the store and pick my flavor…I seriously felt like a kid on Christmas morning (ahhh the simple pleasures in life). When I got to the store I was faced with several options, they have so many different varieties (a HUGE plus because variety is most def the spice of life :)). I settled on the North America Organic Superfruit Spread.

It has cranberries, blueberries, morello cherries, and red grapes. Honestly, could it get any better? Well, as a matter of fact it can…bring on the taste testing 🙂

Another awesome thing about all of their spreads is that they are sweetened with white grape juice concentrate and organic fair trade cane sugar.  Lucky for us Crofter’s is a company of serious overachievers 🙂

OH….MY…GOSH!! This fruit spread is awesome. Its so thick and delish…you know you are biting into real fruit when you take a bite of this stuff. It’s slightly tart from the cherries, but then nice and sweet from the blueberries. My favorite things about it though are the whole blueberries in EVER bite. I have been eating this jelly of the gods everyday since I bought it and on everything I can think of…it’s not gonna last long! I think tomorrow a bowl of PB and J oats might be in order as well! Way to go Crofter’s, you definitely got it right with this one 🙂 And thank you soooo much for letting me try your delish product…I sincerely appreciate it 🙂
