Newman's Own Organics Review and Giveaway

I first became a fan of Newman's Own Organics 2 years ago when I first started my blog. What I remembered besides that the products were tasty is that the person from the company that I worked with was very kind.  This time around, I wanted to try some products that I had not tried before and chose a variety.  I chose some items such as green tea, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, spelt and high protein pretzels, dried apricots and prunes, and Newman O's in peanut butter.
The first products that I opened were the apricots and prunes. I am a big fan of dried fruit and tried these after doing a workout DVD one afternoon. I really liked the prunes. They were more moist than most other prunes and were larger too. The flavor was great.  I was not a fan of the apricots. They were a dark blackish color and had a different taste than I was used to. I'm sure that since they are organic, the color is not preserved the same way as with preservatives.
My husband is a huge fan of the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. When he spotted those, he got excited. They are crunchy and tasty. Also, I love using balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dressing. These products seem to be very high quality and taste great. The balsamic vinegar is perfectly tangy and sweet.
Also, I loved the pretzels. I tried the spelt pretzels first which are also a little higher in protein than most other pretzels. These were tasty and tasted similar to other pretzels. I liked that they were made with spelt instead of regular white flour. I really like this company and would definitely recommend it to others.

Giveaway
The giveaway will be for 4 Newman's Own Organics products of your choice to 1 reader (coffee is excluded).

    I'm definitely going to have to try those pretzels - pretzels are my favorite food!
    I just saw your blog through Meals and Moves - I am always so excited to meet another future RD! I will be starting school full-time in the fall and can't wait. It'll be three years before I'm an RD - lots of school left, but I know it will be worth it!

    So glad I found your blog!
