Uncle Ben’s Healthy Lifestyle Giveaway

posted this in Free Offers and Giveaways on July 9th, 2010

Everyone wants to look and feel their best, especially in the summer. One food that can help you slim down in a delicious way is rice from Uncle Ben’s. The USDA recommends we get 45-65% of our daily calories from complex carbohydrates, and three servings a day of whole grain foods. A one cup serving of Uncle Ben’s 100% whole grain rice meets that requirement!

All Uncle Ben’s parboiled long grain white and flavored rice varieties are enriched with B-vitamins, including thiamin, folic acid, and niacin, as well as iron. It naturally has minerals like phosphorous, magnesium and potassium and is a natural source of amino acids to help the body build muscle. Rice is gluten free, has zero grams trans fats and no cholesterol. The germ and bran layers of whole brown rice provide beneficial nutrients, like antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. It is a natural source of fiber for a healthy diet.

Visit the Uncle Ben’s recipes page to find great healthy rice recipes, like Spicy Brown Rice with Shrimp and Quick and Easy Chicken Casserole.

THE GIVEAWAY:

I have a terrific prize pack to give away to a MomCooks reader, thanks to Uncle Ben’s. Each gift pack will include a variety of Uncle Ben’s whole grain rice products – such as the newest medleys and whole grain brown rice varieties including Natural Whole Grain Brown Rice, Whole Grain & Wild Mushroom Recipe, Whole Grain Brown Ready Rice, Chicken Whole Grain Brown Ready Rice and more. It looks like the gift packs are packed at random so I can’t say for sure which varieties the winner will get, but the image I was supplied shows four packages of rice plus coupons and a few pens:
