Giveaway: Rubbermaid Produce Savers

I love my produce!  When we go grocery shopping every week the basket is filled with nothing but produce.  There are lots of great benefits of eating produce like eating real food, a healthier body and just being able to cook among many other things.  The bad thing about buying fresh produce is it will go bad and quickly if it’s not stored properly.

I was constantly going to the store to get more produce mid week which can really be expensive.  It’s funny because people always tell us to eat healthy but healthy eating is very expensive.  Let’s stop wasting money and saving it.

That is why I am going to giveaway these Rubbermaid Produce Savers!  I will never promote a product I don’t use myself or believe in, so please take my word on this one.  These things really work!  These things definitely extend the shelf life of my fruits and veggies.  Anyone who buys produce must give these containers a try because they have been life savers.

Keeps fruits and vegetables fresh and crisp up to 33 percent longer. The Fresh Vent allows produce to breathe while the Crisp Tray separates produce from moisture helping it to stay fresh and crisp longer. The Easy Find Lids system keeps lids and trays organized by snapping them to the base and together for easy storage.

  • Keeps fruits and vegetables fresh and crisp up to 33% longer*
  • Fresh Vent™ allows produce to breathe
  • Crisp Tray™ separates produce from moisture
  • Easy Find Lids™ system keeps lids and trays organized. Lids and trays snap together and to the base for easy storage
  • Graduated sized containers nest for compact storage. Available in 3 sizes: 2 cup, 5 cup, 14 cup
  • Microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe
  • Bases and Lids are BPA FREE

I really love them for traveling too!  Most of the time I am transporting fruit that ends up going bad quicker due to the transport container.  With these containers, road trips are so much better.  What makes the difference?  They have a handy insert in the bottom (which is removable) that keeps the moisture from your produce which extends the shelf life.  It even has a nifty hole at the top so you can pour out excess moisture/water without having to open the container.

This giveaway is for one set of Rubbermaid Produce Savers and is open to all residents of the United States.  The contest will end on July 2, 2013 at 11:59am CST!  The winner will be chosen at random.  Here is how you enter:

  1. Leave a comment on this post tell me about the produce in your fridge.  What is the produce item you buy every week and how long does it last?
  2. For an additional entry, follow me on twitter (@WeBeatFat) and tweet me the link to a picture of your favorite produce item and hashtag it #webeatfat
  3. Another entry: Follow me on instagram (@AngelaBeatFat); tag me in your produce picture and hashtag #healthyeating #webeatfat
  4. One more additional entry: Like the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/webeatfat and tell me what your favorite leafy green veggie is and why!

It’s simple!  Have a good time and eat your fruit and veggies!  Don’t forget the contest ends July 2, 2013 at 11:59am CST!

Losing the weight. My friend Julie’s weight loss story.

Everyone has a weight loss story and it’s important to share these stories so others can be inspired, motivated and know they are not alone. Today, I am sharing one of my best friend’s story with you. Julie and I met in high school, she was a sophomore and I was a senior sitting in a sophomore class. We instantly gravitated toward each other and from that day forward we were great friends. We fell out of touch because of a stupid argument after I graduated, but we reconnected 5 or 6 years ago…and continued to this point now. She…

It’s that shrimp “fried rice” I’ve been talking about

I spent last week with quinoa! We fell in love again. Since I’ve been blogging and running and working out I’ve been trying to find new ways to make my meals more yummy and I have an EXCESS of quinoa in the house. It was important that I find something to do with all this quinoa I’ve been hoarding. First off, people might be wondering: what is quinoa? I’ll give you the easy answer. It’s pronounced like KEEN-WHA; no one ever knows how to say it. Therefore, I think people don’t want to eat it because they can’t talk about…

One hot weekend

One hot weekend

It was a hot weekend and I was supposed to spend it with my best friends in Mississippi. That didn’t quite happen. I prepped my food, filled a cooler, packed the car with my best friend and godchild and we set off. But there was a problem: traffic. The traffic was horrible and we stayed in place for so long we had to turn around and head back to Texas. Sitting in traffic is not the best place for a 2 ½ year old cutie. What did I pack in my cooler? Watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, carrots, honey dew, chocolate milk…

Look inside our pantry

Look inside our pantry

Can you please tell me exactly what you ate and did to lose the weight?  That’s the number one question asked at We Beat Fat.  I constantly say this but what worked for us may not work for you.  It never hurts to try though.  Also, we didn’t do anything fancy.  We basically stopped eating at all those fast food joints, cut out the soda and started eating real food. I thought this would be a good time to show you the stuff in our pantry. The pantry isn’t exactly organized but it works.  Don’t pass judgement on us!  People…

Facing the fear

Facing the fear

In life there are rule followers and rule breakers. I’ve always been a rule follower. I was a good kid that hardly broke the rules and if I did happen to break the rules, I felt terrible. I punished myself! It’s always good to follow the rules but I also think it’s put me on a path to only want to follow rules and think about the consequences. It’s stopped me from being a risk taker. I’ve lost all this weight which has really forced me to get to know the “new” me. I do feel like I can do…

Sharing our story on Huffington Post Live

Sharing our story on Huffington Post Live

Last night we had the opportunity to be on Huffington Post Live to talk about our weight loss experience. We’ve been getting a lot of requests to be on tv lately and I must admit this kind of makes me uncomfortable. I’m still really self conscious and haven’t settled into my new skin yet. Last night I felt like we were on a panel with a bunch of media pros! Everyone on the panel had such amazing stories and it was just fun to talk to them about their experiences. It is always great to have someone say exactly what…

I’m currently obsessed with pizza

I’m currently obsessed with pizza

Last week in San Diego I almost ate pizza before the race.  I really wanted this pizza, but I couldn’t have pizza unless Willie had some too.  Willie didn’t want pizza; he wanted lasagna.  No pizza for me, but that doesn’t mean I stopped wanting it.  I’ve been on a mission to find a way to have a healthy version of pizza. We’ve done the cauliflower pizza crust thing. It’s really good, but it takes too long to make. By the time I was done making it, I didn’t want to eat. I had to find something better. We already…

We just did our cardio at the airport

We just did our cardio at the airport

I have to say inflight wifi is probably one of the best things ever. I am writing this post on the airplane. How freaking cool is that? What can I say? I’m easily amused. Willie and I have been super excited to go to California (to run) and just to go on a vacation. Little did we know getting there was going to be such a problem. For some reason, our flight to Dallas was delayed which caused us to miss our connecting flight to San Diego. I have never missed a flight in my life. But that is where…

Fear caused a momentary lapse

Fear caused a momentary lapse

Fear is a crazy thing.  It will make me second guess my choices, it will make me afraid to take a risk, it will hold me back in life. Fear always creeps up when I’m feeling the strongest to cast a shadow of doubt over my life.  I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been going through such a roller coaster lately with pretty much everything and it all comes down to fear!  Fear is a bad thing.  I remember being little and not being afraid of anything.  I went through life being my bravest self; becoming an adult…
