I’m all about food, which is why I immediately said “Yes” when I was invited to Jenny Craig’s Tasting Event. Little did I know I would be getting a first hand insight into Jenny Craig’s new fall foods and Fresh and Free Additions. I’ve never been the type to stick to a ‘diet’ and my biggest challenge with having three kids is finding the time to have a nutritious meal for myself.
I walked into the Jenny Craig tasting event hungry .. like REALLY hungry. But before we jumped into our tasting, we learned some great information about Jenny Craig’s program. Here is some of the great info I learned:
- Jenny Craig’s program is set up to provide support and structure to help members lose weight and learn how to keep it off while eating 6 times a day
- Each day has 3 entrees and 3 snacks
- Jenny Craig provides nutritionally-balanced menus developed by dietitians, nutritionists, and food technologists
- Choose from almost 100 different varieties of entrées, desserts, and snacks
- One-on-one personal support from a consultant in center, via video chat, or over the phone
- Members are paired with a dedicated personal consultant to guide their weight-loss journey every step of the way
After learning about Jenny Craig’s innovative program, I had a front row seat for a demonstration giving tons of tricks and tips to spice up your meals and get creative with you food! While I’m all about attempting to create a meal that looks and tastes good enough to win the grand prize on the latest cooking show, I’m also very realistic. I have three children under the age of six. I have a brain injury and a budget for my shopping list. Creating those magazine cover meals was never within my reach… until now, thanks to my complimentary spiralizer from Jenny Craig! In a matter of minutes, we created gorgeous salads that looked like a professional chef created!
Creating my own masterpiece salad made me even hungrier, so I couldn’t wait to delve into Jenny Craig’s new fall foods! From Chicken pot pies to delicious Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, Jenny Craig’s fall foods covers it all and satisfies the palate! I took a tasting of everything- Butternut Squash Ravioli, a Garden Vegetable Frittata, Chicken Street Tacos, Fiesta Chicken & Rice, Szechuan Shrimp and more!
The concept of Fresh and Free allows you to take the Jenny Craig foods you already love and add fresh ingredients. One of my favorite was Jenny Craig’s Chicken Alfredo meal topped with fresh asparagus and peppers. Not only did the dish look like it came from a five star restaurant, but it tasted incredible! I also opted to taste a dessert that I typically would never eat- the Lemon Cake. It was so moist and light, yet flavorful and filling. It has become a dessert favorite on my menu!
With Jenny Craig, members can still enjoy all of their favorite foods. There is NO eliminating food groups, counting, tracking, or worrying! You can now satisfy your hunger and let your inner chef soar by finding inventive ways to enjoy healthy foods. The Fresh and Free Additions allow you to change your menus without packing on calories or spending hours in the kitchen!
