I was recently at Toys 'R Us and was surprised by their addition of a grocery section featuring several of my favorite brands of snacks and prepared meals. And what is more, they were at better prices than my neighborhood grocer.
I picked up a few of these and a few of those for our family to try. A couple of my kids' new favorites are from Revolution Foods.
The Revolution Foods product line includes the Jammy Sammy, Mashups, PopAlongs, Fruit Snacks, Peanut Butter, and Jam & Jelly.We went camping this weekend and the Mashups were one of the snacks I packed. My daughter loves these...all the flavors. They are 100% mashed fruit with no added sugar. They are kind of like applesauce and are packaged in a pouch with a screw top. Kids can just suck them right out. They aren't messy, so kids can even eat them in the car on road trips. I know these are going to be a staple in her lunch box this coming school year. Toys 'R Us sells these individually or in boxes of four.
The Jammy Sammy came to my rescue recently. We had to take our two-year-old to an appointment in another town that spanned the lunch hour. I didn't know what I was going to do because we wouldn't have time to stop for lunch. I packed grapes, pretzels, milk, and a Jammy Sammy for him. He sat at a little table in the waiting room and ate this mini PB&J while we waited for our appointment. I liked that it was easy to pack and wasn't messy.We gave the Cheesy Cheese PopAlongs a try, but my daughter found them to be a bit dry. If you like rice cakes, I think you will like these, too.
