You Can Earn Free Groceries When You #EatMoreStars with #GuidingStarsCA #PCStars

September 7, 2015 by Kathryn 7 Comments

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is its own reward when it comes to good health, and over the last few months my family has had the chance to do just that thanks to the PC Guiding Stars Program. The new initiative makes it easy to find healthy food with a simple rating system that awards one to three stars to healthy food based on expert dietitian advice about the foods’ nutritional content. I love how easy the program makes healthy eating, and my boys love looking for food that has the most stars!

When I became a part of the program, I started logging in to check my progress using my free PC Plus account. And it wasn’t until I did that I realized I’d been missing out on potential points that I could use towards free groceries. Each week, I have the option of loading my exclusive offers onto my card to get great bonus points on my purchases. The offers are tailored to me so that the more I shop, the more points I can earn. One week I earned over 2000 points just buying cheese! [Read more…]

Wake Up with an Easy Three-Star Yogurt Parfait Recipe

August 13, 2015 by Kathryn 31 Comments

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and to ensure that I have the energy I need when I’m especially busy, a good breakfast is a must. This month, as part of the President’s Choice Guiding Stars program, I was challenged to create a recipe using only ingredients that the program has awarded three stars.

Since so many women find it hard to enjoy a nutritious breakfast, I decided to share my quick and easy Berry Yogurt Parfait recipe! It’s filling, packed with nutrition and uses all three-star ingredients!

Eating Healthy is Easier with Loblaws Guiding Stars Program

May 22, 2015 by Kathryn 52 Comments

I do my best to feed my family healthy and nourishing meals and for the most part, I think I do a pretty good job. But sometimes deciding which foods are the best choices is tricky. I try to always glance at food labels and check the amount of sugar, protein, fibre or other nutrients that some of my purchases contain. But I simply don’t have time to compare every variety of yogurt to determine which brand has the least sugar and fat while still providing protein and calcium.

So what’s a busy parent to do? Turn to the Guiding Stars! This new program from President’s Choice is in Loblaws stores across Canada and gives popular foods a simple star rating so that families can determine with a quick glance which choices are the healthiest. The system grades foods based on a credit and debit system and then assigns the star ranking. Things like vitamins, minerals and fibre increase a food’s ranking while things like saturated fat and added sugar move it down. The program makes good food choices easier and, best of all, it’s easy enough for a child to understand! [Read more…]
