sample share: kozy shack indulgent recipe

Anyone who knows me will tell you the way to my heart is through food. Especially if it caters to my sweet tooth. When I got notice that bzzagent was doing a sampling for Kozy Shack indulgent recipe, I got super excited and crossed all my fingers and toes that I would be selected. I LOVE pudding and I love Kozy Shack. I was so stoked when my coupons came in:

bzzkit: two free pudding coupons and a handful of $1.50 off

The only downside of this sampling was since this pudding is new (it came out this year) is was a little difficult to find. The closest place that carried it was 25 minutes away (but luckily close to my work, so I went on my way home!). I used the product locator on the Kozy shack website to find it. This pudding a a bit pricier than generic pudding I normal buy my kids-but it is worth every penny! I ended up picking up three packages-two for my sampling, and one for my kids to enjoy, while the rest of the coupons went out to family and co-workers. I feel the need to talk about each of the three flavors, they were THAT good.

sampling flavors

check out the vanilla beans! :)

Vanilla bean: The really neat thing about this flavor is that there are real vanilla beans in it! You can clearly see them when you open it up. The pudding is creamy and the vanilla flavor was nice.

Salted caramel: one of my beefs with caramel flavored foods is that they often taste fake. Not this. The flavor of the pudding tasted like it should be on top of ice cream! Again, a nice creamy texture.

Chocolate truffle: this is the flavor I purchased for my kids. Of course, I had to try it regardless. Four kids and four puddings in a pack means I had to trade to get one (I did have to agree to giving L a bite of the chocolate). It tasted like you would expect a chocolate pudding to taste. The chocolate flavor was a bit richer, and, like the other two, the texture was really nice.

I enjoyed all the flavors, it is really hard to pick out a favorite. It's like asking my which kid is my favorite! ;) Overall, I definitely recommend Kozy shack indulgence recipe pudding. You need to try it at least once (eating is believing, my friend)! While the price point and location availability makes it a fun treat instead of an everyday snack, it is one that you will often find in our house. Now, keep scrolling for some fun Kozy shack photos!

sample share: Apple & eve organics & quenchers

I got to participate in a fun sample share that I got to involve my kids in: Apple & Eve organics & quenchers! Influenster hooked me up with these samples, and I couldn't have been more excited!

included: one full size organics & three quenchers juice boxes :)

First up: I opened up the box with my oldest. He got wicked excited when he saw the juice on the box!

next up: let the kids go wild ;)

The quenchers we sampled were three different kinds: razzberry apple splash, berrylicious lemonade, & fruit punch burst. My eight year old was not a fan of the lemonade kind (the lemonade was more prominent than the berry), but my two year old finished that up quickly. The other two were huge hits! I may have sampled the first sip from each box--I deem razzbery apple splash my favorite. My kiddos will be wicked excited to see these in their lunch boxes! Now that the kids are taken care of...

I got the 33.8 oz orange pineapple kid to try. It's a blend of 6 organic juices and made with 100% juice (and vitamin C!). It was a sweet yet tangy blend of orange and pineapple. It was very tasty-it may be one of my favorite juices! It even included a $1 off coupon on the package. ;) If you are looking for a yummy juice to fit into your kids lunches or your own-definitely try apple & eve organics out! (and scroll down for some artistic sampling shots ;))

first sample in a kiddie cup!

this is much more artistic ;)
