Want Your Kids to Eat More Fruit? Try This....

So last week, I did a not so serious post about a food that I can always get my kids to eat. But this week, in honor of the SITS Spring Fling, I want to tell you all about a product that I just love and truly can't stop my kids from eating it.

I am talking about Fruit Crisps.

Forgive me for sounding like a commercial for a minute but here is the info. This is an all natural product made from REAL fruit that is freeze dried. I mean it, if you read the ingredients all that is listed is the fruit, no preservatives, no sugar, no nothing else. Just fruit. Each little pack contains 1 and 1/2 servings of fruit.

These packs are perfect for on the go snacking. I dump a couple packs in my bag and the kids can snack on fruit any time and any where.

My kids LOVE this product. They know the box and when I come home with a new box they run to it. There have been some pretty good screaming fights over who gets the first bag of Fruit Crisps.

They beg for some and I am all too happy to give it to them. They just love them and can't get enough. (Just a note, Quinn has a lovely new habit of running from the camera so that is why he is not pictured individually).


I have yet to meet a kid who does not like Fruit Crisps. Don't believe me? Well, why not try them for yourself. Because it is The SITS Spring Fling, I am giving away one box. Just leave a comment, tell me that you want to be entered. I will randomly pick the winner.

Now go and see who else is giving away stuff for the SITS Spring Fling.

What a great idea. I hadn't heard of these, and will have to find some. There are few snacks that are truly nutritious and healthy. When you're on the go it's hard to make good choices sometimes. I'm looking forward to giving these a go!
