…Foodie Pen Pal…

This past month, I was lucky enough to get to participate in a pen pal service I found while doing my usual blog browsing.

The Lean Green Bean offers a Foodie Pen Pal service.

What you do is sign up by contacting the blog owner (there is a form HERE that you can fill out)

Once you fill out the form, they will match you with another blogger here in the United States.  Once you find out who your match is, you will contact your Foodie Pen Pal and see if they have any food allergies, food favorites, and things that they dislike.  You also get their shipping information.

After you get that information you then go gather a small box of food (the spending limit for everyone is $15).  Once you get that box created you ship it off to your pen pal!

The person you send YOUR box to is NOT your pen pal.  You will have someone else contact you to get your information and they will send you a box of goodies.

The hardest part about this is waiting to get the box!

I was lucky and got a great lady named Kim.  She has had lapband surgery and has lost an AMAZING 97 pounds and counting!!  When we were chatting via email it was refreshing to find someone else who was on the “clean eating” path that I was on.

Kim did an AMAZING job with picking out foods for my box.  Here is a picture of what she sent me:

All of my followers know that I LOVE Quest Bar products.  She sent me their new cravings protein reeses peanut butter cups!!!!!!! They just came out and I have been DYING to try them! I will for sure do a product review on them :-)

I also got a ton of dried fruit (which is PERFECT for me since my morning breakfast is when I have fruit and I usually have my breakfast on the go!)

She also got me some nuts, some healthy cereal, and skinny cow desserts (the caramel pecan clusters!! and yup i instantly ate those! LoL)

Kim did an amazing job with my Foodie Pen Pal box!  Not to mention I def made a new cyber friend :-)

I highly recommend you guys try this out!  You will get to meet some great people, try some great food, and it was a lot of fun being able to participate! I look forward to participating again!
