Van's Giveaway

I am a HUGE fan of Van's Natural Foods! At any given moment you will find a dozen or more boxes of Van's products in my home. I was lucky enough to sample some of their new products and now I can share them with you!

My bag of goodies included Van's Gluten-Free Cereals in Cinnamon Heaven and Honey-Nut Crunch, Van's Crackers in Lots of Everything, Say Cheese and Multigran, and Van's Snack Bars in Chocolate Chip, Cranberry-Almond and Peanut Butter Chocolate.

Jillian immediately zoned in on the cereal. She cannot get enough of the Honey-Nut Crunch.

Van’s gluten free Honey Nut Crunch cereal is packed with 19g of nutrient-rich whole grains and 5g of fiber per serving. Plus, it tastes great!

I, personally, love the Cinnamon Heaven cereal. The cinnamon taste is subtle and not overpowering at all.

With 17g of nutrient-rich whole grains and 5g of fiber per serving, Van’s gluten free Cinnamon Heaven cereal is the perfect way to start your morning. 

The Van's Crackers are equally delicious and make a perfect midday snack. Please, don't ask me to pick a favorite flavor, it's near impossible. However, if you ask Scott, he'll say his favorite is the Say Cheese!

 

All three flavors have 16g of whole grains, are gluten free and totally delicious.

Finally, the Van's Snack Bars are great for on the go snacking.  The Cranberry-Almond and Peanut Butter Chocolate made the trip to my office and did not last long at all. 

 

All of the bars are gluten free and packed with whole grains and fiber. Aaron loved these bars too, his favorite was Chocolate Chip.

I never actually got to try the Chocolate Chip...someone ate them all.

Now that I've shared how much I love Van's newest products with you, I'm giving two lucky readers the chance to try these products for FREE! All you have to do is fill out the information below in Rafflecopter:

Van's Recipe Contest

It's no secret that I like to cook and I like to make sure that what I make, especially for my kids, is healthy. To me the most important meal of the day is breakfast, but sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle. For me it's hard enough getting breakfast out in a timely fashion, I can only imagine how challenging it will be when I add packing lunches and snacks for school into the mix!

As if that wasn't hard enough trying to keep breakfast fun and exciting, it's an even bigger challenge to keep it healthy and nutritious too. To help with this challenge Van's Natural Foods is sponsoring a recipe contest for all of my readers! This contest challenges you to create a quick and healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner or a snack item using one of Van's items ─ mini waffles, French toast sticks, and/or whole grain waffles (which are crazy delicious!).

If you're not familiar with Van's, these delicious frozen waffles, pancakes and French toast sticks are made with all-natural ingredients like whole grains, honey, pure cane sugar and sea salt. Van's products are widely available at grocery stores nationwide. To find Van's products in a grocery store near you, go to http://www.vansfoods.com/Store_Locator.

To enter the contest, send me your quick and easy creations soon to twicetheloveblog@hotmail.com to be entered in the contest before September 17. Make sure you include a photo of your yummy creation!

I will post the winning recipe on September 20 and the winner will receive vouchers for 5 free boxes of Van's. Good luck everyone and I cannot wait to try out your recipes!
