I participated in this campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Smart Balance. I received product samples, and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Have you heard the news? Smart Balance has revolutionized (a first in the industry) and redesigned their round packaging to an innovative square tub to help save valuable space in your refrigerator and on the grocery store shelf! Although the packaging has changed, you still get the same 15 oz. quantity and the same delicious heart healthier taste of Smart Balance! Smart Balancing is proving that sometimes, it’s hip to be square! 🙂
I absolutely love that it fits in my refrigerator door so much better than the round containers do! I love, love, love the square containers!
The newly designed, square tub is eco-friendly and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 18% – that equals 6,487 newly planted trees each year! The conversion from round to space-saving square tubs solves one of the biggest issues grocers face with dairy products today – freeing up refrigerated shelf and warehouse space! With this move, Boulder Brands (the maker of Smart Balance), expects shelf efficiency to increase by 50% and warehouse efficiency to increase by up to 60%! By switching from the round tub to a 4-inch wide square tub, grocers will be able to put 60 units of product in the same space that previously held 40 units – and at least for me, the best part of this change is that it does not affect the product price, weight, volume or ingredients! It’s still everything you know and love about Smart Balance – in more efficient packaging!

My grandpa used to make us buttermilk pancakes when we were little. I can't wait to make these for my kids!
I make pancakes for my family every Saturday morning. I can't wait to try these buttermilk pancakes next Saturday. And I'm excited that I can find a square butter spread container.
Amazing what a simple change to square containers can do. I love buttermilk pancakes! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome recipe with Full Plate Thursday. Hope you have had a great weekend and have a fabulous week.
Come Back Soon!

It's 9am here, I wish I could reach through and have them instead of the toast I'm having! Actually I never used buttermilk in pancakes before. I agree about the container they should all be square!
