Eating Intuitively

I totally dropped the ball on this one.  I mentioned some new frozen meals from NutriSystem in 7 New Ways to Enjoy NutriSystem Advanced, because a representative at NutriSystem Advanced mentioned that they were going to be introduced “in a few days”.

Had I done my due diligence (i.e., Google it!) at that time, I would have learned that Schwan’s and NutriSystem have partnered to develop frozen meals.  Here are the basic facts:

• The new line of frozen meals will be called NutriSystem Select.
• Schwan’s will deliver the meals through their delivery network.
• We can expect a full launch in the first quarter of 2009.

EatingIntuitively.com is a paid affiliate of Nutrisystem, Inc.

I have used Schwan’s home delivery service, and I like it.  All of the food is delivered frozen, and it can go from the freezer to the dinner table fairly quickly (except for the ice cream!).

Schwan’s has a LiveSmart line of food choices that are on the healthy side.  So, it will be interesting to see how NutriSystem and Schwan’s will position NutriSystem Select.  Will the LiveSmart line continue to exist alongside NutriSystem Select?  Or will it become one line?  Since the auto-delivery is so important to the NutriSystem Advanced plan, how will Schwan’s work with the auto-delivery?

Needless to say, I am a fan of NutriSystem Advanced.  It has helped me lose 76 pounds, and it will help me reach my goal.  I am sure of it.  I look forward to more ways to enjoy NutriSystem foods, and I hope this partnership with Schwan’s will lead to more great options.

So, how do you think this partnership will work?  Please post in the comments.
