Are You Getting Enough Fiber? *Giveaway*

Posted by 175 Comments

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Carol W. Congrats!

Last year, I had an opportunity to attend a blogger event at the General Mills Headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  On the last day of the event, we ventured into the Betty Crocker Kitchens for a HUGE taste testing of some of their latest products.  For the first time, I tried several Fiber One foods.  Fiber One is a line of a line of cereals, bars, yogurts, toaster pastries, bread, cottage cheese, and baking products high in fiber.  What surprised me was that the products didn’t really taste that much different than their conventional counterparts.

Consuming a high fiber diet may aid in maintaining digestive health and a healthy weight.  The recommended amount of fiber is 25 grams per day, but many of us do good to consume half of that amount.  Fiber One products can help achieve the goal of 25 grams a day.

Fiber One recently introduced their new yogurt which contains 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber and zero fat.  One serving provide 20% of the RDA for fiber.  It’s available in four flavors, strawberry, key lime, vanilla, and peach (all of which I like except key lime).  I like to eat yogurt because it’s a great source of calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics (live and active cultures).  The added fiber contributes to the benefits yogurt is already known for.  Despite the fact that the yogurt is high in fiber, it’s creaminess has been maintained.  Even the Hungry Girl likes it!

The only suggestion I have is that I would love to see the company use a product like Stevia in place of Aspartame.

You can purchase Fiber One at Safeway stores.

Win It! One of you will win a coupon for a free four-pack of Fiber One Yogurt (not valid in Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Tennessee) and a $50 GC to Safeway. Simply leave me a comment with a tip on how you maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Comments will close on April 5, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit).

  26. My healthy lifestyle tip is exercise. I take a 4-mile walk every day (outside if possible, treadmill in bad weather). My diet sometimes isn’t all that healthy, I admit. Need to work on that! Thanks for the giveaway!

  34. I eat beef for strength and macaroni for energy. Beef breaks down into amino acids and the amino acids reform as protein adding strength to muscle, while macaroni’s complex carbohydrates break down into simple sugar which our bodies use for energy,

    All that and push ups, pull ups, and a couple hundred stomach crunches a day.

  37. I have found that stress is the most destructive thing to the body. I try hard to leave work at work, to let the small things slide….enjoy life, eat well, sleep well, and drink lots of water!
