Review based on item that the author received free in exchange for honest reviews and promoting on social media from Bzzagent.
Two things that I love when grocery shopping. Discounts and organic. I am a regular shopper at my local Kroger. Previous to this particular campaign I had purchased Kroger Simple Truth Organics milk and ground coffee. While I don't manage to buy everything organic, I make an effort to buy organic as often as possible specifically milk and produce.
So let's talk about what really matters in all food: Taste!
Overall the flavor of all the products I tried was excellent but there were some very clear winners!
HITS:
With the kids Vanilla Almond Milk is an HIT! I use this daily in my fruit smoothies for breakfast. I don't much care for heavy food in the morning but I do like to kick start my metabolism. Some yogurt, almond milk (my personal preference is vanilla) your choice of fruit(s) and blend. Breakfast in a glass add a little protein or some other supplement powder for an extra kick!
The Cucumber Melon Sparkling Beverage: LOVE this stuff! So let's talk from adult perspective for a moment, shall we? This is so good that I would consider adding alcohol to it and making it a favorite summertime drink. But even without alcohol, I share this with a friend one afternoon as we sat at my kitchen table and chatted. Within two hours all 4 bottles were gone and we wanted more. My friend had mentioned that she was not so sure how she would feel about the flavor as it seemed kind of strange but she ended up loving it! The Pomegranate Blueberry flavor is also fantastic. This is an item in which I was given a free sample and went back and bought more. This is my favorite item so far. As you can see from the above photo, they don't last long in my house.
OK ITEMS:
The Natural Vegetable Sticks were mixed reviews. For me honestly, I would have liked them better if they had been salted. They left me wanting a potato chip. A friend of mine liked them but thought the green did taste a bit "funky". The kids liked them well enough. These would be the thing in the house that I would eat if I didn't have anything else to snack on but not something I would purposely buy again, they were a bit too bland for my taste.
There were other items in this package. Protein bar, it was pretty good but I'm not really someone who eats protein bars very often. Frozen fruit. This was good for flavor but very limited in choices. Between two different Kroger stores I could only find a choice between strawberry or blueberries. I use frozen fruits in my smoothies but prefer to use mango and pineapple. I would like to see a greater selection of these items.
Overall the products were high quality and good flavor. I found prices to be mostly reasonable and competitive with other chain stores that sell a limited selection of organic items.
On a scale of 1-10: 8 (lack of selection is the greatest issue here).
