Now that school is out and the boys are home all day long I find myself visiting the grocery store a LOT more often. With 5 growing boys in the house I am always filling our cupboards. Healthy snacks aren’t always easy to find and they aren’t always the first choice for children. That is why it is important to find snacks that are not only healthy for my boys, but appear to be fun or interesting to them. Boys (or even kids in general) are curious and they like when things are fun and interesting!
Why not make eating fruit fun?
I’ll be honest, my boys love fruits and vegetables. They actually would choose a plate of watermelon over a plate full of candy. (I’m not sure I could say the same about myself!)
Dole has recently launched a new Dole Real Fruit Bites Facebook application called “3 Steps to True Bliss.”
In just three simple steps you can have the opportunity to enjoy a moment of bliss by choosing a dream escape, packing a virtual bag and sharing a postcard with friends. (Sounds fun, right!?)
Once you have done that, you can then enter for a chance to WIN a dream destination getaway making your virtual dream a reality!
Back to healthy food choices…
Dole Real Fruit bites are made from real dried fruit. They fit perfectly in lunchboxes and even in your purse for on-the-go snacking. Not only are they a healthy alternative, but they are a fun and interesting new way to sneak your child’s fruits into their diet!
Dole Real Fruit Bites are available in three flavors–pineapple, apple and mango and only have 90 calories per pack.
What did we think?
I thought they were yummy and while 2 of my boys were fans also, 2 of my boys did not like them. (Our other son wouldn’t try them.) We would love to try other flavors, such as Strawberry or Watermelon or even Banana or something. I think honestly they simply didn’t like them because of the flavors we reviewed.
Ok, now that you know about Dole Real Fruit Bites, head on over to www.facebook.com/Dole to enter for the chance to win a dream destination getaway!
