If you like to indulge in ice cream and whip cream too, have I got a post for you!
I like to eat well. I make good food choices – lots of veggies, whole grains, low-fat protein, etc. If you looked in my fridge, I think you would be pretty impressed.
And I do it all so that I can indulge on a somewhat regular basis – I want my cake and I definitely want to eat it too! (And I do, let me tell you – to say I have a sweet tooth is to ignore the rest of my body that also screams for dessert.)
Two of the most dangerous and delicious treats I allow myself for good behavior are ice cream and whip cream. Again, when choosing how I am going to indulge, I most often reach for light versions of the good stuff. I figure if I indulge wisely, then I can do it more often. (Do you see a theme in the way I work?)
So when Reddi-wip® wrote to me about their product and how it is made with real cream NOT hydrogenated oils like the other whipped topping I had been using and has only 15 calories per serving, I was very intrigued. In Canada, I hadn’t seen Reddi-wip® in my grocery store, so I had never tried it. But they tell me that it is available here, so I am going to hunt me down some that stuff. It sounds like it was created by angels!
While some whipped toppings are made with hydrogenated oils, Reddi-wip® has always been made with real dairy cream. With Reddi-wip®, you know you’re getting the high-quality ingredients and real cream taste that you and your family deserve. Nothing’s more real than Reddi-wip®
And when Reddi-wip® wanted to treat one of you to a year of free Reddi-Wip and Ben Jerry’s ice cream, how could I say no?
How could I keep that from you?
I imagine I am not the only one who likes to sweeten a late night blogging session with a bowl of ice cream smothered in whipped topping?
So what else could I do but say yes? You deserve it, right?
You eat your veggies. You pick up the whole grain bread and leave that fluffy white stuff for someone else who isn’t trying to earn her way to a creamy, melt in your mouth, reason to live, bowl of ice cream smothered in real cream. Right?
I thought so.
So here is what I can do for you.
You promise to eat your veggies AND you leave a comment here telling me some of your deepest, darkest food secrets or why you deserve a year of free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and Reddi-wip®, and I will choose one of you to win:
A year’s worth of Reddi-wip® and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!!!
- 2 coupons per month for a free can of Reddi-wip® (whichever variety you like!)
- 2 coupons per month for a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s (redeemable anywhere B&J is sold, for any flavor!)
We will announce the winner June 12th, 2008. This giveaway is open to both US and Canadian shipping addresses.
Then, I will go out to the store and pick up myself some Ben and Jerry’s and Reddi-wip®, cause really – I deserve some too.

Love Ben and Jerry’s.
They’re closing the Cold Stone Creamerys in this town left and right. They’re dropping like flies. I need Ben & Jerry’s to see me through!
My food secret is everyday, when the kids are napping a secretly eat chocolate or some other goodie.
I love chocolate. I will tell everyone I am very good at watching what I eat, but after everyone has gone to bed, I will get out that ice cream (don’t forget the double chocolate sundae syrup and the whipped cream). I also like to melt peanut butter and put it in the bottom of the bowl before I put my ice cream in. Makes for a surprising treat. Mmmmmm…Mmmmm good!
Yummy!
Hello, ICE CREAM for a year? I’m so there!
enter me please
When I was little I loved applesauce mixed in with my spaghetti & marinara. My parents were so grossed out!
I need the ice cream to dull the pain of that memory.
what fun…. let me win
I would love this!
My deepest, darkest food secret: I hide chocolate so that my husband and children will not eat it. Sometimes I NEED my chocolate and I want to make sure that I always have some around (which is often)!
I have toured the Ben and Jerry factory in VT many times. Ice cream is one of my major food groups. I eat it every day. Add a little whipped topping and I have gone to heaven.
I admit it……I have been one of those people who have taken the Reddi Wip can, held it upside down and squited it in to my mouth!!!! So add the ice cream for a year, oh boy that is dangerous.
everyone knows that i love ice cream. i live on the stuff. i do try to add a little vegetables in my diet but they just don’t taste as good topped with reddi-wip as ice cream does. i really want some ben&jerrys with reddi-wip. PLEASE!
i am going to be in for a long hot exhausting summer and this will really be a great pick me up for me. thanks for the chance!
I promise that my 4 children and I will eat healthy and eat our vegetables. I also promise that we would have NO problem eating Ben and Jerry’s topped with Reddi-wip!!!!! (after our vegetables for a treat)!! My favorite ice cream of all time is Ben and Jerry’s chocolate brownie…………I can eat the whole thing by myself!! The kids on the other hand could eat a whole can of Redd-wip
Thank you and the sponsors for a wonderful prize!!
You will usually find me at my computer with a glass of diet coke and CANDY!
one of my deepest darkest food secrets is that i really love to mix all my food together into one mixture, no matter what it is, i have to mix it up, it’s all going to wind up like that anyways, why not quicken the process
Once in awhile lately, I have had to buy a SNickers from the candy machine in the Teachers’ Lounge before lunch just to make it through the last few weeks of school!
Please enter me! I love nothing better than a bowl of ice cream and a good book!
OH! What a wonderful prize. I love ice cream all year round.
I love ice cream, but so expensive now, the only way I can afford it, is to win it!
I eat veggies every single day, so that promise is fulfilled.
Deepest, darkest food secret? Most people don’t know I love prunes, plain broccoli and mashed cauliflower…but not all together. I think I deserve it because my willpower has improved these past few months when I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of stuff, yet I’ve lost 20 pounds! Yea!!!
count me in please
i always buy B & J and hide it in the back of my freezer so the hub and kids sont see it ;0
I only have 2 kids, but they’re both HIGH MAINTENANCE. Even when I try to escape with one of those rare Calgon baths, they climb up to get the key and unlock the bathroom door and complain to me or ask where their stuff is. And since my daughter’s now PMSing also, the two of us try to hide the ice cream from the other! Wow, was happy and surprised about the calories with Reddi-Whip! All along I’ve rationalized with a diet-Cola on the side!!!
I absolutely love ice cream, especially Ben&Jerry’s. Eating it is like heaven on earth and I would love to win some. It would be a dream come true. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.
Ice cream is truly a staple at our house, especially ben & jerry’s, but I love Reddi Whip since its so low in calories there is just no guilt! Love it!
When it is a bad day I have Ben&Jerry’s for dinner. Not for one pint but two. Of course the kids have a healthy meal with veggies.
My husband doesn’t like ice cream (shocker) and I have an addiction to the stuff. But since I’m the only one who eats it – it’s one of the first things to go in my budget! I could really use the free coupons to feed my addiction.
I hide food from my fiance. He doesn’t go grocery shopping so if I get something sweet I hide it in the back of the freezer or in the cabinet with the pans where I know he’ll never look. Heaven forbid he finds my stash because he does look where the pots go so he can cook something for once- then he deserves the treats he finds!
When we do have something he knows about like ice cream, if I overindulge and he says I ate it all, I tell him it was our 2 year old while he was at work. If I had a year supply of ice cream, I wouldn’t have to hide it from df anymore… we could share. Although I know he’d eat the whole pint in 5 minutes!
Mmm .. that sounds so yummy … well, I always have chocolate of some kind in the house. And ice cream & milkshakes … delicious!
My deepest darkest food secret? Oh, there are so so many, but with regard to ice cream (which is the topic, right?), it would have to be either Edy’s Espresso Chip ice cream or Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. I love frozen chocolate. I’m not a major chocolate bar fan, but I do so enjoy chocolate when it’s frozen. Those huge chunks of dark chocolate (which I would never eat if not in Cherry Garcia) along with that rich vanilla and those wonderful cherries, all that crunch and flavor and blended texture! It can’t be beat! The Espresso Chip ice cream as well – outstanding creaminess and the marvelous crunch of those wonderfully flavored chips! If I were able to add Reddi Whip to that, I’d be in heaven!! Nothing could beat that combination to cool off a hot summer day!!
