Healthy Choice Inspires 20 Bloggers to be Better For BlogHer 2010

Better for BlogHer 6 week challengeA few weeks before BlogHer 2010, 20 bloggers were chosen to take a 12 week challenge to be “Better for BlogHer.” Each blogger replaced one meal a day with a frozen Healthy Choice meal. I was one of those bloggers.

On Friday during BlogHer, Healthy Choice hosted a lunch at the Hilton for us. The lunch consisted of a caesar salad or cold sandwiches, fruit and a cookie. It was a welcomed opportunity to take a short quiet break from the fast-paced conference.

Healthy Choice introduced their new line of steamed frozen meals which are currently rolling out in stores. The plastic wrap on top of the meal does not have to be “cut” at all in order to steam the meals like you usually do. No more of the “peel away the plastic from this and poke a hole in this and do the hokey pokey..” just to cook your meal. The instructions are simple. The ingredients are all items that you can pronounce. On the package there are pictures of the meats and veggies that are in the product. No more guessing what that orange thing might be.

Each blogger had the opportunity to meet with the Healthy Choice nutrition expert, Tara Gidus. Prior to BlogHer, we filled out a questionnaire to give Tara a better idea of our health status and concerns. Tara discussed those concerns and answered any questions the bloggers had concerning the product or healthy lifestyles. I did not have a chance to meet with Tara at BlogHer, but I have my consult scheduled for next week.

We left the lunch with a full stomach, knowledge about the Healthy Choice line of products and the company’s philosophy about living a healthy lifestyle and a lavender, microwaveable neck heat wrap. The neck wrap is AWESOME. I get to use one of these when I get a pedicure, but now I can use it at home. YEAH!

The hashtag for the Better for BlogHer Healthy Choice campaign is #BetterforBlogHer.

disclosure: I received money and coupons to purchase the meals each day for free in exchange for my posts and my participation in the 90 day challenge.

  1. Stopping by from BlogHer to say hello (I have your card but don't remember when/where I got it!). Hope you had a blast.

    That Healthy Choice gig sounds pretty cool.

  2. After study a few of the blog posts on your website now, and I truly like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Pls check out my web site as well and let me know what you think.

  3. Thanks, I’ve been searching for facts about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.

  4. My wife and i ended up being really more than happy Edward could conclude his analysis using the ideas he grabbed when using the web site. It’s not at all simplistic to just continually be handing out helpful tips that many the others could have been selling. And we all consider we’ve got the blog owner to appreciate for this. The entire illustrations you’ve made, the easy website menu, the friendships you will help foster – it is most overwhelming, and it’s really leading our son and the family understand the topic is exciting, and that’s pretty mandatory. Many thanks for the whole thing!

  5. Pretty decent post. I just stumbled upon your site and wanted to say that I have in reality enjoyed reading your web site posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon.

  6. I’ve been gone for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this website. Thank you, I’ll try and check back more frequently. How often do you update your web site?

  7. You’ve got a bit of a tough one there. Pandas, like other bears, humans and raccoons are “plantigrade” animals. That means they walk on their entire foot, from heel to toe. A cheetah walks on just the ball of its foot (tip toes is you will) like other cats. To morph the 2 footprints together you are going to have to decide how your new creature will walk. If you go to the San Diego Zoo link below you can see a footprint of a Giant Panda and one of a Jaguar (close to, albiet larger, than a Cheetah’s print).. This sounds like an exciting project. Have fun with it, but try and keep in mind the different diets and habitats of your animals.. If you want a good overview of both Pandas and Cheetahs, you can find interesting facts about them at The Jungle Store Animal Fact pages.

  8. other your tracks are also ver24y good
