Alexia Sweet Potato Fries + A Giveaway!

Good afternoon! For some reason, I am exhausted today. Is anyone else tired? I feel like I could sleep for a long long time.

I still made it to the gym this morning though :)

Today’s Workout

  • Plank #14: 2 minutes and 56 seconds
  • 4 miles, treadmill
  • Stretching – 10 minutes

Instead of going to Step Class this morning, I decided to run on the treadmill. I ran for about 3.3 miles and walked the rest. I finished up with some much-needed stretching.

Post-run, I had a Designer Whey triple chocolate crunch bar. I think this flavor might be even as good as the peanut butter flavor!

Lunch

Lunch this afternoon was extra delicious because it included  Alexia Sweet Potato Fries!

I love French fries. If I don’t order them when we go out, I always make sure that Danny orders some, so that I can steal a few.

I was really excited to try the Alexia sweet potato fries because they are so much better for you than regular potatoes, and they’re all ready to go right into the oven! Sometimes making your own sweet potato fries can be time-consuming, and I’m all about time-savers.

Sweet potatoes are good for you because they’re high in fiber, contain vitamin B6 which is good for your heart, are rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A), as well as vitamins C and E.

Alexia Sweet Potato Fries just received The American Heart Association Certification.

When using a healthy cooking method, such as baking, the product is certified with the iconic Heart-Check mark for meeting certification criteria that limits fat, saturated and trans fat, cholesterol and sodium, and requires a beneficial nutrient like Vitamin A. Established in 1995, the Heart-Check mark gives consumers an easy, reliable system for identifying heart-healthy foods as a first step in building a sensible eating plan.

I even got my niece to try them. First, she stared at them for a while.

Then she decided that they were okay to taste.
