What makes it even better is that I often get packages from various companies or relatives sending goodies for the kids, so I never really am expecting anything - it is generally a fun surprise, each and every time. Last week I received these:
Funky Monkey Snacks contacted me awhile back about sampling some of their healthy snack product and of course I said yes! I often feel that when I am home I am serving breakfast, cleaning up breakfast, finding mid-morning snacks, serving lunch, cleaning up lunch, finding snacks for after nap time, cooking dinner, serving dinner, cleaning up dinner and if the family is lucky - serving dessert.
I do a lot of cooking, serving and cleaning.
As a mom, it's sometimes hard to find healthy snacks for my kids. We eat a LOT of fresh fruit, cheese, peanut butter, veggies and dip, crackers and homemade granola bars. Other than that I tend to shy away from any pre-packaged products, unless their ingredient list is small and I can read it.
Enter in Funky Monkey Snacks!
Lets just say the husband and the little man ate one package 10 minutes after I opened the box. It is simply dried fruit, but has the texture of potato chips, with the sweetness of fruit. Really, pretty fun and neat.
Would you like to try a sample package?
The generous folks over at Funky Monkey Snacks are willing to send a reader the same sample package I received. I know many of you are moms needing snacks for your kids!
