Go Picnic Review and Giveaway

11 August 2009

I want to tell you about a very cool product my family recently got to review. GoPicnic meals. These are ready to eat meals that require no refrigeration. I was not at all sure about prepackage, shelf stable foods being that tasty, or healthy for that matter. I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised!

GoPicnic meals come in several varieties. They offer GoMeals, which are a wonderful meal in a box so compact it will fit in your purse. I was amazed at how much was in such a small package! Then you have Break Meals which are a bigger box, chock full of lunch time goodness. We discovered that these make a great meal for Dan when I wake up too late to get his lunch packed. And they even offer a variety for the kids, Mighty Munch Meals. I loved these because the kids loved them and because they were not filled with sugary junk. They offer gluten free, kosher, vegetarian, and even vegan meals! How often do you find "convenience food" that can offer something for all those dietary needs?

I can think of so many times that having these great meals around would be handy. Obviously, they would make an impromptu picnic super easy. They would be great to store in your emergency kit in your car, in case of getting stranded on the side of the road for awhile. As I stated before, they make a great lunch when you are rushed for time. They would also be ideal for dorm dwelling college students, much better than eating fast food all the time. Plus, the price is right, being much less expensive than hitting the local drive thru. They are just an incredibly handy product to have around!


Unlike a lot of convenience foods, these are not meals packed for of all sugar and fat. Not these! They are full of fruit, whole grains, nuts, and baked snacks. Everything they offer is so much better than your standard quick meals. You won't find any MSG, high fructose corn syrup, or trans fat in any of these yummy meals. I am very impressed.

And if you order using the coupon code GPMOMS, you will receive 20% off!

I am thrilled to tell you that three lucky readers will win 6 GoPicnic meals of their choice!
