Adventures in Food
Giveaway–Revolution Foods Organic School Snack Sampler
Apples are my idea of a perfect school snack–a medium-sized, crisp Empire apple. But I know that apples will only appeal (no pun intended:) to my kids so many days in a row and then I’ve got to get creative. I’ve been looking around for easy, healthy school snack options and Revolution Foods has some that may be just right. I haven’t sampled Revolution Foods’ line yet, instead I’m going to rely on one lucky MKES reader to do it for me.
The giveaway package will include samples of their kid-friendly
- Grammy Sammy–which pairs soft baked graham bars with creamy yogurt fillings. The cocoa graham with banana yogurt fillings sounds good to me.
- Jammy Sammy–for those of you with gluten allergies, this might be your answer to the standard PBJ. The bars come in several varieties including peanut butter and grape.
- Mashups–good-for-your-kids fruit snacks. Only organic fruits make it into these treats. Although there are several flavors, their newest creation, strawberry banana would be my pick.
Here’s how you enter–tell me your kids’ favorite school snack. Don’t have kids? You’re still eligible to enter–tell me one of your favorite snacks. The contest runs until next Wednesday, August 25th, when the winner will be chosen at random and announced on Thursday, August 26th. (Only participants in the continental U.S. will be eligible–sorry Kiwis.)
I’ll start–one of my kids’ favorite school snacks (beyond apples) is whole, black olives. I send in ten–one for each finger and let them know that playing with their food is just fine. How about you?

Love the olive idea!
My 6-year-old son is sitting next to me as I type this and he says his favorite school snack is whole milk organic yogurt with maple syrup in it. Or with fresh fruit. And olives. And candy (though he’s not allowed to have that at school…) And artichoke hearts. And pizza. And spicy nori (seaweed).

Mmmm. I need to get your recipe for spicy nori.
I always get plain yogurt too and mix in preserves.

Cute about your kids’ olive treat! My kids like a host of stuff for snacking and can’t pick a favorite, but kettle chips (not so healthful) and hummus (homemade and very healthful) are two of the ones they eat a lot of. My favorite is salmon jerky.
