Sponsored Post: @GreenMtnCoffee Wellness Collection (#giveaway)

I have such a great relationship with my Keurig. Before we came together, my Keurig and I, there was a little 4-cup coffee maker in my life...I never used it. I was too lazy to make a pot of coffee that I knew I'd ultimately never drink, and I love coffee shops. But these days, thanks to my Keurig, it doesn't matter if I'm feeling lazy, or if I can't get to the coffee shop. I can have a nice, warm cup of coffee in no time flat. And a delicious one, too. But, no...I don't guzzle it down every day. Just once, maybe thrice a week at best. I'm not addicted to coffee, I just enjoy it. And I get that it's good for me in small doses. There's the whole antioxidant thing. And the mineral thing. And, thanks to Green Mountain's Wellness Collection, the vitamin thing.


Green Mountain contacted me and asked if I might like to try their new Wellness Collection. I said "yes" because 1) I geek out over all things "wellness," and B) I'd get to use them in my Keurig. So here's what they sent me:

One fancy coffee cup and a selection of K-Cups from the Wellness Collection. Their theory behind the wellness collection? That we might forget to take our vitamins, but we rarely forget to drink our cups of coffee in the morning. Or tea...maybe even some juice, if that's more your thing. So do you take a vitamin every day? I take a multivitamin. When I remember. Theory proven. So anyway, I started my tasting adventure with the Antioxidant blend to up my intake of Vitamins C and E. 

Let's review: Vitamin C is known for boosting our immune system, while Vitamin E is known for protecting us from toxins. Among other things, of course. Verdict: Not really my favorite. I'm more of a light-roast type of girl. If you like a medium roast, I'm sure you'd love the above. It's kind of how I felt about the Focus blend, too. Although, truth be told, it smelled so good to me:

As did the tea, but I really liked the tea.

I mean, what's not to love about blackberry pomegranate green tea? Especially when it's got an extra boost of antioxidants: 20% DV of antioxidant Vitamin C and 162mg flavonoid antioxidants per 8 fl. oz. serving, according to the website. Oh, and this was the first cup of tea that I brewed in my Keurig. Gosh, it simplifies the process. No more messy tea bags all over the counter! Hip hip, hooray!

And since there's a first time for EVERYTHING, let's also talk about the first over-ice beverage I brewed in my Keurig:

Holy sweetness! One can't expect anything less from something that's strawberry-pomegranate based, right? Like the Antioxidant blend, it's got a hefty dose of Vitamin C in it. Now, this over-ice beverage also comes in an Acai Berry flavor but I was not sent it to review, so I can't speak for its deliciousness. Although I imagine it's good. Isn't acai berry always good? Hm.

You be the judge...if you're lucky.

All things coffee are good. Starbucks triple grande, 1%' 1 raw sugar latte is my drink of choice. I don't have a keurig so I can't describe my favorite k cup. But, we got some BB&B gift cards for engagement gifts and a Keurig is just what I was thinking of!

Kelly McNelis said...

What an awesome giveaway! I like coffee with flavored creamer (full fat - that fat free stuff is gross!).

Jennifer Drummond said...

Perfect cup of coffee is my Green Moutanin French Vanilla Coffee, with a pinch of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 packet of stevia and frothed skim milk. I drink it everyday! Great giveaway!!

I almost always add some hazelnut whenever I order a latte from a coffee shop. And I just bought some Iced Hazelnut K-Cups. SO GOOD!

My perfect cup is a dark roast with some chocolate raspberry stevia and unsweetened vanilla almond milk, all chilled! I use to drink hot coffee, but it gets so warm down here in the south now!

billiejean said...

It just so happened that when I went home for Christmas, my parents bought a Keurig! They had tons to try but my favorite varied between the Butter Toffee from Gloria Jeans and the Kahlua Original!
