Some Super Snacks + a GoodBelly

By Allison Burch, January 28, 2011  |  Meet the Blogger  |  More Posts by Allison Burch

I have a confession to make. A really big-deal football game is coming up soon and I have no idea who’s playing. This is especially embarrassing since I live in Texas (football is HUGE here) and the big game is in Dallas this year. However, just because I don’t follow the game doesn’t mean I won’t be tuned in to my TV come that fateful first Sunday in February. Hey, it’s a cultural phenomenon! Plus, the game is a great excuse to get together with friends, whoop and holler (I usually cheer for whoever has the ball at the moment) and eat snacks for hours on end. Keep reading for a chance to win a little GoodBelly goody. This year, we’re going to have a few people over and I plan on making either this great turkey chili or these stuffed potato skins and a big bowl of guacamole. I also like to have a bunch of easy snacks on the side and here are a few new products that I’m super-excited to add to my lineup: evol Mini Burritos

  • Made-from-scratch mini burritos with less than 190 calories each
  • Fresh ingredients all wrapped up in a traditionally made tortilla
  • Cheese from the milk of cows not treated with rBST
  • Free-range chicken and beef from cattle raised without antibiotics and added growth hormones
  • Make a party tray with a selection of all the flavors: Chicken, Bean & Rice, Veggie Fajita, Chicken & Black Bean and Shredded Beef

Family-Sized Veggie Pirate’s Booty

  • Re-sealable 10-oz, family-sized bag sold exclusively at Whole Foods Market®
  • Baked rice and corn puffs with a deceivingly delicious blend of spinach, kale, cabbage, carrots and broccoli
  • Gluten free and trans-fat free

Laurel Hill Kettle Cooked Potato Chips

  • A Whole Foods Market® exclusive!
  • Kettle cooked in small batches which makes for a big crunch
  • Gluten free and made with no preservatives and no trans fats
  • A tasty selection of flavors—Sea Salt, Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar, Jalapeno, Sea Salt (40% Reduced Fat), Barbeque (40% Reduced Fat) and Cracked Black Pepper (40% Reduced Fat)

Another confession…I’m not a huge snacker in my everyday life. So, after an evening of munching and crunching my way through an entire football game, I’m sure my belly will be asking for a break! That’s why I plan to be prepared with these new GoodBelly Probiotic Drinks. You could even give the “shots” to your guests as “party favors” on their way out. GoodBelly Probiotic Fruit Juice Drinks

  • Dairy free, soy free and vegan
  • Uses a base of organic fruit juices rather than yogurt
  • Contains 20 billion live and active cultures per serving (at time of manufacture)
  • Uses their patented probiotic culture, Lp299v
  • Look for super specials in your store on: GoodBelly Plus Shots, GoodBelly Splash (in grab and go bottles) and GoodBelly Family-Sized Quarts

In fact, the good folks at GoodBelly are giving away a cute cotton tote bag and a VIP coupon so you can try a GoodBelly product on the house. To enter the giveaway just leave a comment below by Friday, February 4th and we’ll pick ten winners at random. So tell me, which team should I cheer for and why?

Not a football fan here but of course I have a husband who takes over the tv whenever football is on! I live near Seaworld sure wish they would put a Whole Foods out my way.(hint hint)! I have been wanting to try the evol burritos but hubby would kill me if I drove that far for food. Didnt know Good Belly has a Splash now, have tried GB before, it is helpful in many ways. Go Packers! (cuz hubby says Steelers are going to win)hehe!

I normally try to not eat processed foods, but like to have a stash around when I'm on the go. I have heard of Goodbelly but haven't tried their products, so this would be a good to be introduced to it. Thank you.

Goodbelly is so delicious! I would love a tote bag to spread the word and get more people on the Good Belly wagon. Alas, I can't help you choose a team. I'll also be using the day just to socialize and eat goodies.

Ok, you should root for the packers because their defense is more agile (maybe they take goodbelly) and their Qb is faster than the Steeler's defensive line.

I LOVE GoodBelly Plus Shots!! I always feel better when I start the day with one. Whole Food is the only place, in my area, that I can find GoodBelly products. I also love the suggestions for healthy snack alternatives, especially for an event that is synonymous with a calorie overload!!

Wow..the Good Belly Drinks sound fabulous. Perhaps the final toast to the winner at the conclusion of the Big game should be with a Good Belly beverage!

You should cheer for the team that you like first from your initial impression.

My husband, daughter and I are cheering for the Packers. We like to go with the underdog and feel that Steelers have won to many superbowls and need to give the Packers a chance.

I'll just flip a coin and say....root for the Green Bay Packers - cuz none of my teams made it to the Superbowl. I really want to try GoodBelly - I'll have to put it on my shopping list.

My family of 4 are all doing the GoodBelly 12 day challenge. My youngest daughter likes it as a popsicle and has one a day. We would love to win this giveaway!! I think I'll serve the frozen pops to the children at the super bowl party. Thanks for your great article. chorne
