#newme – Sunsweet Ones Review And Giveaway

by BuckDaddy on January 19, 2010

With Project New Me (#newme) under way, I have started looking for new and healthier ways to snack.  Sunsweet Ones are dried plums or prunes which are individually wrapped. Prunes are considered a Super Fruit and are unexpectedly delicious, sweet and juicy. Whenever I think of Prunes, I think of dry and the eldery.  This is not so with the Sunsweet Ones.  Since Sunsweet Ones are wrapped individually they remain juicy. They keep you from getting your hands sticky too. Just hold the prune in the package and pop in your mouth. They taste as sweet as candy yet five of them have 100 calories, with 0 Calories from Fat, 0 g Saturated Fat and 0 mg Cholesterol.  I shared a couple with my wife and daughter.  Both of them liked it and commented that it tasted like candy.  This is one candy that is good for me.

WIN IT!: 5 (Five) of my readers will win a Sunsweet reusable shopping bag along with a VIP coupon which is good for any Sunsweet product, up to a value of $5.50!

TO ENTER: Go to the Sunsweet Product page and tell me in comments which product you have tried before or would like to try. Remember if this is not done then none of the others will count.
