Fall is here, school is back in session and our after school activities have really ramped up. As I have said before, my older four kids are all competitive swimmers so that means hours of practice each week.
Because they are competitive athletes they tend to burn calories very quickly and so keeping them properly fueled up is very important. Monday through Friday we leave for the pool at 5 p.m. and don’t get home some nights until after 8. That means that most nights we have a late lunch, snack before practice and then a late dinner and because of this I try really hard to keep healthy yet tasty snacks on hand at all times.
When hunger hits I don’t want them to just grab snacks that have no health value, I want to make sure that they are getting needed nutrition from those snacks.
I was recently asked to try out the new Gold Emblem Abound snacks from CVS/Pharmacy and I was excited to give them a try with my kids. Gold Emblem Abound snacks use nutritious ingredients that satisfy cravings without giving up great taste.
Our favorite snack in the Gold Emblem Abound line was the Greek yogurt covered raisins. With just the right amount of sweetness they were a perfect snack, especially a snack on the go as we could just grab them and go with no muss or fuss. With no added flavors or preservatives, they are a snack that moms can feel good about giving their kids.
We also loved the Gold Emblem Abound Strawberry Crisps and the Gold Emblem Abound Banana Crisps. We would mix them together and eat them as a fun and healthy snack. Offering 2 cups of fruit per back, free from artificial preservatives & flavors, no sugar added and certified Gluten-Free these are great for snacking on the go because there is no mess!
Next time you are at CVS/Pharmacy make sure to check out the entire line of Gold Emblem Abound snacks for your kids. The entire line features full of flavor, healthy snack options that are good for you and your kids will love!
Those strawberry chips look amazing. I must try to find some at my local grocery store.
I love dried fruit. I try not to do cane sugar, so when I snack, it is usually dried fruit. I haven’t tried strawberry crisps yet.
My 3 year old LOVES the strawberry crisps!
THESE LOOKS SO DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY.I’D LOVE TO TRY THESE SNACKS.
I am going to check these out. Although my four year does not have a busy schedule like your children’s, he says he is starving when he gets home from school. It will be nice to have these snacks in the car on the way home.
I’ll check for Gold Emblem next time I’m in CVS. I love yogurt covered raisins and I haven’t seen this brand before.
They are VERY tasty, my kids all love them (and I do too!).
I love yogurt covered ANYTHING! It’s so important to give our kids healthy, tasty snacks to get them into good eating habits!
I don’t have kids but these look like great snacks for me on the go! Love the dried fruit idea for just a little sweetness.
It seems lie my kids are always looking for a snack!! These sound like a great healthy snack, I haven’t seen them before.
YUMM Greek yogurt bites as a snack. These look so amazing!
These snacks look super tasty and super healthy! I want to grab some for myself to have 😛
Wow. those covered raisins look just amazing! I have never heard of this brand. I’m sure my kids would love these snacks.
Such a healthy snack, we’ve never tried this before but I will look for this in the store. It’s something that my kids would like for sure.
They are really yummy! Thanks for stopping by!
My little ones loved strawberries this summer, but they’ll be entirely out of season soon. These look like a good winter alternative!
They make a great snack!
I’m all about the healthy snacks with the kids. I will keep my eyes open for this brand. I know the kids will love the greek yogurt covered raisins…. gotta love when you can find balance between healthy and sweet.
I love yogurt covered raisins! Great to know they have a greek yogurt version now 🙂
They are really yummy too!
these are some of my fav snakes. believe it or not i buy them all the time. lol. i have to be careful though because i like them so much i will look up and they are all gone in a matter of minutes. lol
I normally deydrate my own fruit because it’s so hard to find any without added sugar or junk. These look like they might be great options, though.
I love healthy snacks for kids and I have never seen a yogurt covered raisins anywhere until I read this post. My daughter loves yogurt now so I guess she’ll love this treat!
