My Super Snacks Review and GIVEAWAY

August 28, 2013 by Amy Hudson

Moms, how many times does the following scenario happen to you?

You feed the kids a healthy breakfast, wash faces, get dressed, find shoes, get out the door, buckle into car seats, and are off to your morning play date when you hear from behind you a little voice saying, “I’m hungry”!

My kids can be hungry at all hours of the day sometimes.  I think the little one may be in a growth spurt, because she’s constantly wanting more to eat.  Feeding her while we are at home is no problem, as we have a variety of healthy and nutritious foods from which to choose.   On-the-go food is different however.

Our typical “portable snacks” usually include mini bags of goldfish crackers, fruit snacks, and, if I’m lucky and have been planning ahead, little snack bags of pre-washed grapes ready to go.  Other than that, I don’t have time to prepare all of my kids’ potential traveling snack food as well as all of the other meals.

Enter a great solution for moms like me who want to give their kids the most nutritional bang for their buck when it’s time to eat.  My Super Snacks.

My Super Snacks were developed by Slivia and Katie, two moms who began mysuperfoodscompany.com out of a desire for wholesome and nutritious snacks that could go anywhere.

Each package of granola bites has lots to brag about:  all natural, non GMO, containing flax seed, whole grain oats and real fruit.  Each pouch contains 800+ mg of Omega 3’s, 11 g of whole grains, and 3 g of fiber and protein.

We got a sampling of all three flavors of My Super Snacks:

– Blueberry Banana Acai

– Chocolate Chip

– Apple Raisin

The girls couldn’t wait to try them.  We busted open all three bags and each member of our family of 4 got one piece from each bag.

Each bite was about the size of a regular sized marshmallow, just a little less round.  They remind me of a Nutri-grain bar, except the fruit is mixed through each bit and there are far less aritificial ingredients and sugar content.

The blueberry banana acai was my personal favorite.  It had the most moisture and best overall texture of all three.

The girls loved the flavor of the apple raisin, as it reminds you of an oatmeal cookie, or a mini apple spice cake.

Hubs liked chocolate chip the best.  Chocolate chips are always a crowd-pleaser.

If you are like me and looking for a quick snack containing wholesome ingredients that are actually beneficial for your child and isn’t simply a “filler” food, then I suggest you get yourself some of these snacks!

P.S.  The best part of buying this product is that they are donating a portion of sales to end child hunger in the US.

Copy-Kids Review and GIVEAWAY

June 25, 2013 by Amy Hudson

Moms, have you heard of Copy Kids? I stumbled accross their website awhile back and was SO EXCITED when I watched this video about what they do.

Copy-Kids DVD Trailer from Copy-Kids on Vimeo.

These moms are seriously helping kids all over the world to learn to love eating fruits and veggies!

What is Copy-Kids?

Copy-Kids is a DVD (they have one out and currently have a second one in production coming out at the end of the summer 2013) that shows little kids happily eating different fruits and veggies.  The DVD includes different chapters for different foods.

The Copy-Kids eat raw broccoli, bell peppers, avocado, cucumber, tomato, carrots, and all kinds of healthy fruits and veggies.  The theory is that children who watch this DVD will desire to mimic, or “copy” the kids they see on TV and eat the veggies too!

Because teaching kids to love eating healthy foods is one of my passions as a mom, as well as a big “why” behind this blog, I was so excited to be able to get a Copy-Kids DVD to try out on my own little ladies.

The girls were SO excited to open a package the mailman brought just for them, and were delighted that it was a DVD.  I told them the name of the DVD, and it intrigued them; they asked to watch it RIGHT AWAY.

What I wanted to do was to make sure I had all of the fruits and vegetables on hand before playing the DVD.  This way, as they viewed each part, the girls could reach for that food.  Although I did not have everything featured in the DVD in my house at that moment, I chopped up what I did have and got us all set up to watch!

Note:  After putting the DVD in, I realized that each chapter (featuring one fruit or veggie) was 7 minutes, I realized that we wouldn’t be making our way through the whole DVD in one sitting anyway.

The girls were so excited to check out the kids on TV, and were ready to copy!

Using the DVD

As I played each chapter of the DVD for the girls, I removed all bowls of food except the one being shown in that chapter.  This way, little Emma wouldn’t down the avocado the whole time (she loves that stuff), instead of trying the food being shown on the TV.

One of my favorite things the girls saw on the DVD was a little girl eating a bell pepper like an apple.  Grace, my oldest, got a kick out of that, and for the next few days she’d ask for bell peppers to eat.  Once she even “snuck” one and I found this in her room:

(Excuse the pixels, this one was taken with my phone!)

Anyway, is that cute or what?  I’m thrilled that a bell pepper has become a fun snack.

My little one, Emma, was not ever a big fan of raw broccoli.  Most adults I know don’t even care for it that much!  However, as Emma watched the Copy Kids eat the broccoli, she learned to like at least the stems, or the “bottoms”.  Check out this cute 1.5 minute video of our escapades as we watched Copy Kids.

 

Want to try this with kids you know?

This DVD works like a charm!  I was very surprised to see how much it inspired my little girls to love their veggies.  Grace is still loving her bell peppers and eats them every day!

You can buy the Copy-Kids DVD here.

You can also keep up with Copy-Kids on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and their blog.
