January's Haul of Free Stuff from Bzz Agent!

This season has provided several opportunities to get free stuff. I got to try all these awesome products for free this month through a fantastic product testing site called Bzz Agent!

The contents of the Kroger Simple Truth Organic BzzKit


This month, I received the Simple Truth Organic BzzKit and was thrilled to see all these amazing products from Simple Truth. The kit contained Simple Truth Organic Dark Chocolate with Quinoa, Ready to Drink Tea Energy Beverage, a coupon for a free Ready to Bake Bread, a coupon for a free Simple Truth Organic Greek Yogurt Cup, and a bunch of coupons to pass out to my friends.


Dark Chocolate with Quinoa?
The first thing I tried was the Dark Chocolate with Quinoa made with 70% Cacao. Now first off, I love dark chocolate! At first bite, it was a little bitter. I was quite surprised it that it was not sweet at all. It had kind of a baker's chocolate flavor to it with a Nestle Crunch texture. Hubby tried it and thought it was gross. But the more I ate, the more the flavor grew on me. I don't know if I would buy it again, but I do like how it is not only a treat, but it also has 4 grams of fiber! Love that.

Next I tried the Ready to Drink Tea Energy Beverage in Lime. I tried a few sips and then never touched it again. I'm not a huge fan of tea anyway, so to me, it was kind of bland. But then again, I think all tea is bland.


Then I went to Fry's Food, my local Kroger store to use my free coupons. I was amazed at the huge variety of Simple Truth products! They have everything from fresh beef, to chips and candy, to beverages. It is all over the store too and not just in the organic section. It makes shopping for organic food really convenient and you don't have to search all over town and spend a fortune on good organic products.


My yummy beef and cheddar sandwich!
So I found the Simple Truth Organic Ready to Bake Bread in a display near the bakery. They had 4 different varieties at my store. We chose the Italian Simple Truth Organic Ready to Bake Bread. It was really good. Just throw it in the oven and a few mins later you have warm, fresh bread. The texture was awesome- crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I even made myself a sandwich with it.



Black Cherry Greek Yogurt
I also chose the Simple Truth Organic Greek Yogurt Cup in black cherry. There was not a huge variety of flavors so that one looked like my best bet. It was a little bit bitter as greek yogurt usually is, but it needed a little something to sweeten it up. I eat greek yogurt every day, so I have tried almost every variety there is. I wasn't a huge fan of this flavor. Especially when there are so many other more flavorful varieties out there.



So the Simple Truth Organic brand gets 4 stars from me. It makes eating organic food more affordable, and convenient since there are so many products available in this line. And you don't have to go to a specialty store to get it. I would give it 5 stars if the products I tried tasted a little better. But I will definitely check out some of the other products in this line and you should too!
