I am so excited to be back here on Foodie Penpal. I signed up for this last year in November. Took a break in January and February because my family came over here for vacation and I was super busy.
I missed it so much so I signed up again in March, but my blog was under renovation in time for reveal day.
So I just decided to combine both reveal days for March and April together. 2 in 1! Those are always fun, right?! 🙂
For my March box, my box came from amazing Sylvia Hernandez. 🙂 She doesn’t have a blog but I’m sending her warm hugs via email. Yes, you don’t have to be a blogger to join in the fun. 🙂
She said that she visited my blog to know more about me. She went shopping with something spicy in mind (she must have read this post about me), but changed her mind and shopped something different instead. 🙂
As soon as I saw this paper bag in my box, I knew right away where she went to shop for my goodies. I love Whole Foods Market! 🙂
My box was filled with goodies I haven’t tried before. It’s perfect because I love trying new things. After all, this is what the program is about – meeting new people and trying new things! 🙂
First thing that caught my eye was this bag of Kale chips.
I’ve never tried any kale chips before. I took a bite and DIED! These are beyond delicious!
They did not last long and I think I’m hooked on these. I will definitely check out Whole Foods and try other flavors. 🙂
Oooohh this Pumpkin Sprouties did not last long either. My husband and I were munching on these while watching tv and gone …fast!
These are very delicious. Taste like sunflower seeds. These are great to put on top of salads or just eat by the handfuls.
Next are these muscle brownies.
I am not really into body building but I knew I’ll be 100% guilt-free when I indulge in these brownies. The taste was good, a tad on the too sweet side then I realized they are brownies (not protein bars).
The sugar is a little high so I’d eat just half of the pack after workouts.
I knew my husband would love these Coco-Roons.
He likes anything coconut-y. I had no choice but to share this with him.
I was able to take one piece before he could finish everything. I love it, they are sweet but just enough sweet to complement the coconut.
Now, these Pretzilla mini pretzel buns. I have never seen a pretzel bun before.
These buns came with coarse salt to add to the top if you choose so.
I made a little ham and cheese sliders with the mini buns and I loved it. Yum! This is a great alternative to plain old roll. The buns have such a rich delicious pretzel flavor that is distinct and delicious. YUM!
That’s it for my March box.
“Hey Sylvia, if you happen to read this post, thank you so much! I love everything you sent me!”
Oh! Please head over to Karen’s blog (midlifedreaming.wordpress.com), to check out what I sent her! 🙂
Now, let’s move on to my April Box. This box came from Stacie Hoyos all the way from Maryland. She’s not a blogger too like my previous penpal so, no links to their blogs.
It would have been nice to read something while devouring my goodies. 🙂
I devoured on these right away.
These corn chips are good too!
I threw the greek yogurt bar, Luna bar and Stride gum in my bag for me to eat while on the go.
Have you ever unconsciously ate something? LOL! 🙂
The Stride gum has by far the best packaging of any other gum I’ve seen! The actual gum color is purple, tastes fruity like sweet oranges almost, and the flavor and consistency last for a long time.
The greek yogurt bar is absolutely delicious. They are chewy with a good bit of crunch from the oats. The blueberry acai flavor tastes like the real deal. Love these!
Thank you Stacie for the goodies. 🙂
I sent a package to Emily Gedert who blogs over @EmilyRuns. I’m not sure though if she’ll have time to blog because she’s getting married this week! 🙂 Have fun on your wedding day, Emily! Best Wishes!So there you go!
Thank you Lindsay @The Lean Green Bean for hosting this program. 🙂
I’ve made quite a few friends through food and I can’t wait for next month’s Foodie Penpal. 🙂
You guys may already know how this whole thing goes but here are some of the details about the program.
Please head over to Lindsay’s blog @TheLeanGreenBean for more details! 🙂
