Not sure what to be this Halloween?  How about a Del Monte Fresh Produce Banana?

 

Del Monte Fresh Produce is randomly giving away 200 banana costumes to fans on its Facebook page, (https://www.facebook.com/DelMonteFreshProduce?fref=ts).

 

Enter to win today by clicking on the Del Monte Fresh Produce Facebook tab that says “Costume Giveaway” and complete a short entry form.  Two different banana costumes are available.  Offer ends October 18th.

 

Turn this Halloween into an opportunity to teach your kids how to make healthy eating choices while still enjoying their treats.  Here are a few tips:

  • Before heading out the door for Trick-or Treating, make sure your child has a filling and nutritious dinner or healthy snack, such as a peanut butter and banana sandwich, or a piece of fresh fruit. They will be less tempted to dig into their candy bag before they get home.
  • Limit the number of treats your child can have after each meal and make sure they eat their fresh fruits and vegetables before digging into that candy stash.
  • Set a good example.  Don’t let your kids see mom or dad snacking on Halloween candy before meals.

 

Go to  https://www.facebook.com/DelMonteFreshProduce to enter to win your own banana costume today.

Enjoy Summer with Jolly Llama’s Fruit Sorbet

by Leave a Comment

With school out of session and summer upon us, your kids are probably running wild with all their new free time. The key to keeping your children healthy and active this summer starts with a healthy diet. It is very important in their young age that they receive proper nutrition and stay away from sugary/fatty foods. We all know that getting our kids to eat healthy is not always as easy as it sounds. Well, fortunately Jolly Llama Real Whole Fruit Sorbet Squeezeups are the tasty and healthy solution.
 
Just in time to beat the summer heat, Jolly Llama, a new manufacturer of naturally healthy, super?premium frozen novelties has introduced a line of unique, refreshing and delicious fruit sorbet treats. Jolly Llama Squeezable Whole Fruit Sorbets come in four flavors (blueberry, acai, strawberry, and mango), are dairy?free, and fun to eat in individually?packaged squeeze tubes.

“We developed Jolly Llama to be a healthier alternative to high?fat ice cream and highly?sugared popsicles,” said Jolly Llama President Scott Jacobson. “They not only taste good, they’re also all natural, low in calories, and a good source of fiber, so everyone can feel great about enjoying them.”

Jolly Llama makes their sorbets from top quality fruit that’s allowed to fully ripen on the vine, sorted, then pureed and frozen immediately. Unlike the leading sorbet producer that cooks its fruit—stripping it of any nutritional value—and who then adds concentrates or juices for flavor, Jolly Llama uses whole fruits, giving its sorbet a genuine, fresh fruit taste.

And instead of using corn syrup derived from genetically?engineered corn, Jolly Llama sorbets are sweetened with natural pure cane sugar. With each tube containing more fruit than almost any other frozen treat, Jolly Llama sorbets taste better and are better for you.

Each of Jolly Llama’s sorbets are also good sources of fiber (10% RDI or greater) and contain 50% RDI of Vitamins A and C. They’re all low?fat or no?fat, gluten?free, contain no allergens, and each tube averages only 85 calories. Its two “superfruit” sorbets (blueberry and acai) are also loaded with antioxidants.

“So many companies churn out junk food for maximum profit,” stated Jacobson. “We created Jolly Llama to provide consumers with an alternative to the unhealthy, not?all?that?enjoyable junk food novelties that currently saturate the market.”

Jolly Llama Squeezable Whole Fruit Sorbets are currently available in the freezer section of selected stores. Suggested retail price of each tube is $1.49, with an introductory 2?for?1 offer valid until July 31.

More information is available at www.jollyllamasorbets.com.

My Thoughts on the Product.
I love both Blueberries and Mangos and amazingly these were the two that I was able to try today. I was quite impressed by these products as you could easily tell that they are made with real fruit and not loaded down with a ton of excess sugar as you find in some products. I also had my children try them and they said that they were “great” and that they wanted seconds! This is always a good sign, and when I can give them something that also is good for them I am even happier! The size of the tubes are just right, as you are not left over-stuffed and instead you feel that it is a great top off to either a dinner or even just as something to cool off in the hot weather that we have been having recently!

Overall, I would highly recommend!
