Lunchables Jr. Snack Packs

I know I am not the only mom that is always scrounging around trying to find decent snack options for her children.  I am pretty good at planning breakfast, lunch and dinner, but to be honest, by the time I am finished spending money for those, I am DONE!  I usually try to piece together some crackers and fruit or something that seems somewhat healthy and that will fill the munchkins up for a short period.  However, I have had my days when I just handed them whatever they asked for because, quite frankly, I didn't have anything else here for them to snack on.  I just didn't plan correctly and we had NO snacks!  

Well, the makers of Lunchables are trying to fix this problem that many of us moms find ourselves in.  They have created Lunchables Jr. snack packs.  These awesome little packs are great for little ones because the pieces are fun, flavor packed and bite size.  They are also great for moms because they are nutritious as well as quick and easy!  

There are 4 different kinds to choose from:

Ants on a Log
Very Beary Crunch
Teddy Bear Picnic
Blueberry Bonanza

Thanks to Crowdtap and Lunchables, my daughter was given the opportunity to try these new snacks for you and give her honest opinion :)  We received two packs of snacks (Ant on a Log and Very Beary Crunch), one for us to try and one for us to share.  Calleigh chose to try the Very Beary Crunch, simply because she doesn't like raisins and we gave the other one to her friend.  The Very Beary Crunch contains mini Ritz Bitz sandwiches, Teddy Grahams and strawberry flavored dried apple pieces.  The Ant on a Log contains honey graham sticks, peanut butter and Sun-Maid raisins.  





During snack time, Calleigh immediately went for the Ritz Bitz sandwiches (which I had anticipated). My daughter has a love for cheese that is just ridiculous ;)  After about 10-15 minutes, she was done and the snack was almost demolished.  In the end, the only thing that was left were the strawberry flavored apple pieces.  I was really surprised that she didn't eat those but after asking her about it, she said she just didn't like them.
  

I am super excited about these though because I often find myself searching for a snack option, especially when we are in the store, and it will be nice to be able to pick these up for those hurry up moments.  I feel good about serving these because the kids love them and they aren't completely sugar-filled.  

Thanks Crowdtap and Lunchables for offering us the opportunity to try these new snacks.  All opinions are my own and no other compensation has been received.
