Finding Out About NEW Snacks Through the Great Kids Snacks Box!

Our family is always focused on finding new and innovative snacks for road trips. This mama does not have a lot of time to shop for new products, soo.. I love boxes like the the Great Kids Healthy Snacks Box, because it comes to my FRONT PORCH and enables me to discover new, healthy snacks for my family.

From snack time to road trip adventures, the Great Kids Healthy Snacks box has us covered from the planning period to the packing period. This box had several new snacks that we've never heard of before and it was great to try the snacks before we purchased the snacks from Amazon.

Here are some examples of the snacks! Again, great for travel!

Beanitos - Black Bean Chips - Honey Chipotle BBQ Flavor

R Bar - The Peanut Butter and Jelly Energy Bar (this received RAVE reviews from my husband)

The Soft Baked Organic Double-Chocolate Brownie

The Jimmy Bar - White Chocolate Cranberry Nut-Free Bar

Power Crunch - Snapstick - Protein Snack: Birthday Cake Flavor

Power Crunch - Snapstick - Protein Snack: Chocolate Lava Flavor

Begin Your After School Conversations with Plum Mash-Ups! & A Back to School Giveaway!

We hope you are having a great week!

As we begin our journey to the beginning of the fall semester of school, I worry about key items that I need to have in my car at the end of each day to guide my conversation with my little one as we commute home.

Our commute usually includes pretzels or chips, but I found a new healthier addition to our preschool commute conversations. Our new conversation staple will include apple sauce, fruits, and vegetables! Sounds too good to be true? All of these can be accomplished with Plum Mashups!

We received four Organic Plum Mash-ups to review from BzzAgent! include the following flavors: Beetbox Berry, Berry, Blueberry Blitz, and Carroty Chop!

Beetbox Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Berry - This flavor only has 45 calories, 100 mg of potassium, 12 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Blueberry Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 10 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Carroty Chop - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 115 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

We loved Plum foods when my little one transitioned to food as a baby and we've been incorporating new Plum foods for the past few years as snack foods! Now, these are amazing! Our favorite one as the Blue Berry Blitz flavor!

This week, I will mail two of these coupons and a back to school pack to TWO READERS! Write a comment in the box below with the flavor that you are most interested in trying for a back to school conversation. This contest ends on Friday, August 19th at midnight.
