The Sweetest Giveaway
We've always encouraged our kids to eat healthy snacks. My son has been a carrot muncher from his first days of solid food. My daughter can devour an entire bag of dried mangoes in one sitting.
Oh, sure, sometimes we get a craving for Pringle's potato chips or Snyder's pretzels, but we don't let those products have a permanent place in our pantry.
One snack we've been enjoying for a few years is Sunsweet's Antioxidant Blend, a mix of cherries, blueberries, cranberries, and plums. It's a favorite with everyone, although if you're eating it in the car you'll need to keep some wet wipes handy for sticky fingers.
When the people at Sunsweet asked me if I'd like to sample their new Philippine Pineapple dried fruit, I was confident it would have the same quality, taste, and nutritional value of their Antioxidant Blend.
They sent it, we all sampled it, and the verdict is... It's not only delicious, but I'm seeing pineapple in a different light now. The sweetest pineapple I've ever had was fresh off the plantation in Hawaii. It's hard to find that kind of flavor after the fruit has been canned, boxed, and shipped to the mainland.
This dried pineapple is much closer to the sweet taste of fresh. And I shouldn't even call it "dried" because it's extremely moist and juicy when you bite into a piece.
Bottom line, you can't go wrong with a tasty snack that helps kids choose healthy fruit over the empty calories of chips and candy.
You be the judge. I have ten prize packs from Sunsweet to give away! Winners will receive a Sunsweet reusable shopping bag, and a VIP coupon good for any Sunsweet product, up to a value of $5.50. You can use the coupon to try the Philippine Pineapple, or any other Sunsweet product (I also recommend the Antioxidant Blend).
Simply leave a comment on this post, telling me what healthy snack is your child's favorite. I'll announce winners at the end of next week.

My kids like raw vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower), and fruits as their healthy snacks. Dried mango is also a huge hit. Would love to try the dried pineapple.
strangely enough - green beans!
Oh I'll just look for them here..never trust any giveaways..ha ha never trust my luck actually.
Lukas loves the Pinnaple.
sounds really tasty, except for the small fact of my being deathly allergic to pineapple...may have to try that antioxidant blend though
We tend to eat fresh pineapples on a regular basis. It's one of the few citrus fruits that has enzymes which actually help with the stomach lining (as opposed to the high acidity in oranges).
Simple pineapple corer costs about $5.00. Creates a spiral of pineapple, leaving the core in the middle of the shell.
We re-use the shells (is that what they're called?) for mixing kid-friendly drinks of pineapple juice, oranges, and banana smoothies.
My oldest and youngest love pretty much all fruits and vegetables. My middle one is picky, he will only eat farmer fresh green beans (he grew his own this summer). I have already started to freeze some for winter, hopefully he will eat those too! He'll also eat apples and bananas.
My boys love fresh veggies right from grandma's garden. Jules loves raisins.
cucumbers, carrot sticks, tomatoes
This may just be the thing to get my son to eat healthier snacks. I'll have to check these out in the store (hopefully they have some at our local place). My daughter loves healthy food - peaches and tomatoes are her favorite!
Carrots, pistachios, and cheese sticks are fave healthy snacks with my kids. Thanks for the contest!
Raisins!!

apples and bananas are the big hit in Moscow.
We keep veggie and pita chips for us all. Better than potato!
My boy loves craisins and tiny bits of chopped up carrot. He's been known to eat a tomato or two as well.
sunflower seeds

popcorn popcorn and more popcorn.
I don't have any kids but do have an elderly mother I take care of I'd like to get to eat healthier snack. She keeps asking for something to munch on.
I don't have kids but my niece's favorite snack is tomatoes. She eats them like candy. It's pretty crazy :) Even I don't like them that much which is pretty sad haha :)
apples
