A pretty great day of food, I think!
Now let’s talk for a minute about Schwan’s. Through my partnership with Fitfluential, I was offered the chance to review a couple of items of my choice from Schwan’s. This company has SO MUCH food to pick from, ranging from meats, seafood, meals (think pasta, enchiladas, stir fry), ice cream, dessert, fruit and vegetables. I have vague memories of my parents buying Schwan’s when I was growing up – mostly their pizzas and the occasional ice cream. You might have seen Schwan’s vans before – they deliver right to your door for free.
I selected two items from their “LiveSmart” line: the Wild Alaskan Salmon and the Golden Fruit Blend. All of the LiveSmart items contain no trans fats, minimal preservatives and additives and are also low in sodium. I was really pleased with the quality of this food! I’ve been making daily smoothies for myself and the kids using the Golden Fruit Blend, which contains strawberries, peaches, mango and pineapple. All the fruit tastes SO fresh – it’s flash frozen while in season. The same for the Wild Alaskan Salmon – it’s caught and then immediately frozen so that it comes practically fresh to your door. Plus, it was really easy to thaw in the sink (or the fridge if you have time, but who has time?!) and then just bake for 20 minutes. Easy peasy! Thanks, Schwan’s!!
Learn more about Schwan’s by visiting them online and see if you’re in their service area! You can order online or via catalog – and shipping is free! It’s like grocery shopping in your pjs – but I kinda already do that anyway. THIS involves not leaving the house. Again – easy peasy.

QUESTION: Have you ever tried Schwan’s home delivery?? Tell me one thing you ate yesterday that I need to know about!
splendid…lindsay
**Schwan’s & Fitfluential sent me this food to review. All opinions expressed are my own.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Schwan’s, to be honest. Is that weird? I do love that combination of fruit, however, and of course, I love that you used Plant Fusion in your smoothie. ;)
What I HAVE heard of is that Gulden’s mustard. Hello, deliciousness. And with honey–something I have been putting on EVERYTHING lately? Amazing.
I grew up with schwan’s – while my mom did not get the best food, I am really intrigued by this new line and I might try and convince my husband to start ordering ;)
My parents have gotten schwan’s home services for 20some years now, we always get the pizza’s, ice cream cones and toffee/chocolate covered ice cream bars!! I will have to try the fruit blends, I am going to college in the same town as the Schwan’s headquarters, half of this town is employed there, I believe there are about 15 differnt “Schwan’s” buildings all over Marshall (Marshall, MN)!!! They are a great company and I think that their willingness to still do the home services is great!!
I love Schwan’s! I think their food is convenient and tasty! Such a great idea to get a berry blend so you can make delicious smoothies!
Yay, it’s always fun to see you at the wiaw party! You’re so right about the junk- it’s always fun and yummy, but doesn’t make me feel so good afterward.
Have I told you my mom has those same dinner plates? Small world!
My dinner was fabulous! Whole Wheat Quesadilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, refried beans, mushrooms, snap peas, and topped with avocado, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce of course. It was DELISH! XO
The guy across the street from us gets a ginormous Schwan’s delivery once a month, I swear that whole van is full of his order LOL!! I’m just not a big fan of things like that, so I’ve never tried anything they have.
omg we used to get Schwan’s delivery when I was little! Haha definitely no healthy food back then though (like late 90’s), we got orange sherbet and frozen chicken tenders from what I remember. It looks like it’s seriously improved!
My parents used Schwan’s when I was younger! They have some killer ice cream selection :)
We used to get a ton of junk food from Schwan’s back in our college apartment! Ahh, the memories… cheesy casseroles and ice cream. It’s funny that you’ve posted these 2 questions together ’cause yesterday I made a Mexican Lasagna that reminded me of those days. It was far, far healthier than the cheese filled casseroles of yore but it was still a casserole, something I hardly ever make anymore.
I love Schwan’s! They have some amazing bread too.
We used to get Schwan’s delivery all the time! So convenient. They even loaded it all in the fridge/freezer for us :)
I had salmon yesterday–just like you. In fact, our dinners looks quite similar! Great minds think alike. :)
The world’s sweetest Schwans guy always comes to my parents’ front door. He’s too nice to NOT buy from. As a kid, I always used to love the Xmas Peppermint Ice Cream with little peppermint chunks in it!
I have that same good n natural bar for a snack today!
My parents used to get deliveries from Schawns when we were kids – we LOVED whenever the delivery guy came. Being that I was a child I remember loving the waffles, pizza, and cookie dough to make cookies but I know my parents purchased a lot more. I’ve seen a truck in my neighborhood every now and then but haven’t thought about getting my own deliveries – I’m sure its changed a lot since I was a child.
The Schwan’s guy just left me a catalog a few days ago..I need to look at it! That fruit blend and Salmon look delicious!
There is absolutely nothing entree than the incredible edible egg. I’m going to go make some now.
Best thing I ate: the Balsamic Strawberries and White Chocolate Cream on my blog today. I don’t like to brag… But it was a thing of beauty.
Ive never ever schwan’ed
I wanna schwan :-)
that salmon looks good! i am trying schwan’s soon! healthy freezer food is the best!
