Back to School Snack Ideas {Lunches and Sports too}
It’s here, friends. Back to school. Which means back to school snacks and lunches are here. Again. I don’t know about you, but packing snacks and lunches for school gets old FAST. But it’s not just school starting. Sports are, too. Which means snacks on the go, on the field, etc.
Mott’s provided me with a gift card so that we could share our thoughts and information about Mott’s products and Mott’s #ClearPassion sweepstakes with you all.
One key element of snacks and lunches at school for us is FRUIT. The mini Martins have long known that there are elements in their snacks and lunches that are not negotiable, and fruits and veggies are part of that. We always have fresh fruits and veggies in the fridge for the kids, but we also have a well stocked cabinet that’s got snacks and stuff for the kids that they can access at all times as well. One staple for us has been Mott’s® applesauce pouches, and we recently discovered their new clear applesauce pouches. Far more fun for kids, but same peace of mind for me as a mom wanting to make sure we have a good range of healthy snack options for the kids!
The pouches and the boxes they come in have fun sauce-y characters on them for added fun. They’re called the Pouch Pals- each flavor is a different Pouch Pals character. Cute, fun, and parents can see just what’s inside those snack pouches. No mysteries or surprises! Pouch Pals names are Mac, Seedney, Penelopeel, Crispin and Redd. The challenge for you is to guess which name goes with which flavor, I suppose!
New Mott’s® Clear Applesauce Pouches can be purchased in a variety of flavors and pack sizes beginning in July at the majority of retailers in the U.S. Flavors include:
o Mott’s® No Sugar Added Applesauce
o Mott’s® No Sugar Added Mixed Berry Applesauce
o Mott’s® No Sugar Added Strawberry Applesauce
o Mott’s® No Sugar Added Blueberry Applesauce
o Mott’s® No Sugar Added Cherry Applesauce
Just like Mott’s® is passionate about providing quality, fun snacking options to families, the passion moms have for their kids’ personal talents and interests is CLEAR! My kids each have a sport they are passionate about. My oldest is a competitive gymnast, the younger two are both passionate about soccer. Sometimes I feel like I live in my car driving kids to practices, clinics, meets, games and such.
To celebrate the launch of the clear pouches, Mott’s is giving parents a new reason to share their kids’ #ClearPassion. Parents can share a photo of their kid(s) pursuing their passions on social media for a chance to win free product, and five (5) lucky winners will be chosen to have their child’s passions amplified!
From July 22 to August 30, parents can submit photos of their kid(s) pursuing their passions via Twitter or Instagram by tagging @Motts and using #ClearPassion and #sweepstakes for a chance to win prizes that help amplify their kids’ personal passions. One grand prize winner will also receive a year’s supply of Mott’s for the family.
