A few weeks ago, there was a long box left on my doorstep as part of the promotions for the "Souper You™ Debut" contest.  Inside was the promise for a healthier me, if only I used the enclosed items. 
So what was in the Progresso "Souper You Debut" gift pack?
During these cold winter months, soup of any variety is welcomed.  Getting 5 different cans of enticing and healthy soup is even better!  D and I shared the chicken noodle soup for a recent lunch with grilled cheese.  I think the only one the boys didn’t try to consume was the New England Clam Chowder one as that isn’t a favorite soup for them. 
Along with the cans of Progresso soup, I was provided with some items to help me meet my fitness goals.  There’s a nice water bottle to help me stay hydrated during workouts.  A lovely blue mat for defining my exercise space was in there as well as a few fitness bands plus matching sport head and wrist bands.   I just had to be quick to ‘hide’ them before the boys started to divvy them up.
You can find the Progresso Light line of soups at your local grocery store.
Or…you can WIN a heavy, long box like the one I received!
