Sunsweet Prunes now come in a single serving and they are popping in kids mouths.
My kids love them. I actually served them at a play date and they were eaten. I’m not big on prunes so I’m not a good example but these are great to give to kids. They are individually wrapped so a single serving is easy to stick to. One mom had to take them away from her kids because there is a small fear of the “after diaper”.
What causes the “after diaper”
- Antioxidant rich. Prunes have a high antioxidant (ORAC) score. Antioxidants help to slow the oxidative damage to our bodies, and many researchers believe that antioxidants slow the aging process.
- Potassium punch. Move over bananas! Ounce for ounce, prunes have more potassium than bananas. Studies have shown potassium helps prevent hypertension and stroke.
- Bone health. A handful of nutrient-rich prunes a day may help bone metabolism and the reversal of bone loss for people with osteoporosis. They may also lead to improved bone formation.
- Low Glycemic Index (GI). Prunes are a low GI food, and therefore help to contribute to a low Glycemic Load diet and can aid in preventing and managing conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity.
- Heart health. Prunes can help play a role in preventing heart disease and chronic diseases because they’re rich in antioxidants, which slow the chemical process of oxidation and protect key cell components from damage.
- Prebiotic power. Prunes naturally contain prebiotics, which stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the large intestine. This helps dietary fiber perform well and promotes immune system and digestive health.
- Weight loss. Prunes are a good source of fiber, and this can help keep hunger pangs at bay. As a food component, fiber isn’t absorbed, so it doesn’t contribute calories that’s why high-fiber foods are included in weight loss diets. Plus, four prunes have just 100 calories!
Now you realize these are all good things. So this is nutritious and delicious, I just don’t like the chewing. I’d rather drink prunes.
Pop a prune encourages healthy eating and even I need to do more of that. I should be popping prunes instead of chocolate chips then maybe I’d be losing weight.

I must have done a good job with my boys because now that they are grown they are very aware of eating healthy foods.

We grew a vegetable garden in our back yard. Our children helped
to cultivate, harvest and cook our vegetables. We enjoyed our harvest all the more for our efforts and feel healthier as we follow
our vegetarian diet.
Thank you for the contest. Happy Thanksgiving.
They eat fruit for snacks
I make sure my kids aim to “eat the rainbow” most days. For 3 y/o kids, they are pretty adventurous when it comes to trying unfamiliar fruits and vegetables. They love going to farms and farmers markets, and I think seeing where food really comes from helps pique their interest. They always get to pick something to try each week, so that helps them feel involved in their food choices.
my kids love these prunes! we sometimes eat them with a little peanut butter for an extra delicious snack!
i love to throw a little spinach in fruit smoothies! they never know!
My daughter loves green veggies more than any other food. All along she’s definitely preferred healthful foods to junkie ones. We try hard to model healthy eating for her too.

Our daughter likes to eat a lot of fruit, but we don’t focus so much on eating as related to health. We believe it’s the person’s activity level that is key to being healthy.
I’ve started putting a wider variety of veggies on the table during meals. I find they don’t take as much meat and fill up on the veggies.

My kids are eating fruits and vegetables from our back yard vegetable garden and fruit trees.
Thank you for the contest and happy Thanksgiving.
My daughter loves fruits & Veggies. We’re also good about teaching her that treats come in moderation.
I leave fruit out on the table. They eat it because they can SEE it. There are chips and other junk in the cabinets, but they don’t see them so they don’t want them.
