Do You Practice Smart Kraft Dinner?

There are few things that my husbands puts his foot down about; the boys must have short hair, spending money is bad and Kraft Dinner is only acceptable if it is the original flavor – and don’t stray from the recipe on the box, thank you very much.

Some could call it picky eating – but you didn’t hear it from me.

So when Kraft sent me some of the new  Kraft Dinner Smart to try, there was only one way to truly put it to the test. It had to be a blind taste test.

Without announcing to a soul, I quietly made the Kraft Dinner Smart, being careful to follow the instructions on the box. I was giggling as I set it out, with a side of chicken and broccoli, chortling to myself that there was hidden goodness and nobody was the wiser.

Kraft Dinner Smart is macaroni & cheese with the classic cheesy KD taste that kids already know and love, but with added ingredients like oats and vegetables blended right into the noodles.   There are no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, and every 50 g bowl (ž cup prepared) contains a half serving of veggies, is a source of fibre or a source of Omega-3 polyunsaturates – all without changing the taste.  Best of all, it’s a quick solution that, paired with a serving of vegetables or fruit, makes a balanced meal.  Stress averted. Phew.  And picky eaters will never know the difference!

 

We sat down and I waited. I waited for my husband to protest at the different flavor. I waited for the kids to balk at healthy food.  I just waited because… NOTHING HAPPENED! They loved it! All of them! Nobody noticed that the KD was healthier! HA!

Guess what?  We are converts. Kraft Dinner Smart is in our house from now on.
