blueberry breakfast cookies @createdbydiane using @delmonte fruit burst Oh my, it’s almost Back to School time…
that means early mornings and packing up lunches and snacks for the kids.
I won’t lie, the first week is usually fine, it’s the second week that seems to get them all.
The thrill of seeing their friends and all the “new” excitement has worn off. The second week screams for easy.I’m usually rushing around trying to find things to put into their back packs so they won’t starve.My kids love Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers, so adding those to their lunches is super easy and I like seeing the smiles on their faces.I like when there are easy and delicious items that they can grab and go with.

 

 Do you squeeze or spoon Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers and Del Monte Fruit Cup.jpg Do you squeeze or spoon, that is the question…

Del Monte is bursting with LIFE,

Their Fruit and Vegggie Burst Squeezers come in Blueberry, Apple Cinnamon and Peach Mango flavors, they have two Fruit only squeezers in Mixed Berry and Strawberry.

Wow these flavors are fun, I had many taste testers for these and I liked seeing which one was everyones favorite, one liked the Peach Mango the best, one said Strawberry was their favorite another picked the Apple Cinnamon and I picked the blueberry, no surprise there, I just LOVE blueberry. I really like pineapple too, so the Pineapple Coconut Fruit Cup is just up my alley, what a fun tropical taste! Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers and Fruit cups.jpg As you are picking up pencils and paper to prepare for back to school, don’t forget to grab some of these, you kids will thank you.

I like that Del Monte’s Fruit Burst Squeezers offer the goodness of 1 1/2 servings of fruits and vegetables, which is a great help to get kids to pack in some of their much needed requirements each day. My kids will be taking these to school and they can add the fruit burst squeezers to their peanut butter sandwiches, add it to the top of a bagel with cream cheese, and of course squeeze it right into their mouths. They love that part. When they come running in the house starving, I just point to the cabinet where I keep them and I don’t feel like they will ruin their dinners if they snack on one, they are great when the kids want to dash outside and don’t want to have to do anything to it. For the fruit cups, I try to get them to use a spoon, but truth be told, they just pour those into their mouths too, yes boys will be boys. I don’t mind…ok sometimes I say get a spoon, they just laugh.

  1. I love the idea of having a bunch of these ready to go for quick start mornings! And don’t even get me to thinking about the fact that school is about to start again soon. It doesn’t seem right!

  2. We like to spoon to develop eye-hand coordination 🙂 Although squeezing may be less messy.

  3. Not entering the giveaway because I’m a Canuck, but just wanted to say how much I love these cookies. I mean blueberry in a cookie, for breakfast, you are a genius.

  4. we like to squeeze in this house! my kids love anything (food or drinks) that they can squeeze out of a bottle.

  5. My 4 year old daughter enjoys to spoon and squeeze! But if she had to choose just one way she would probably go with SQUEEZE! 🙂 I myself would have to go with spoon though.

  6. 5 stars
    In our household we like to squeeze. Less mess and easy to take on the go. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.
