Send Healthy Lunches to School V8-Fusion Concord Grape Raspberry

by 416 Comments

My kids are still the age where I make their lunch every day for the most part. Zoe had her first all day field trip and I had to make her lunch. I always make the kids healthy lunches, we have a sandwich and carrots and water. My kids are pretty good at eating healthy. We talk about healthy choices all the time. I knew she might be a little more hungry and wasn’t sure they would give them a snack, I don’t like the snacks they give them anyway. But that’s another post altogether.

imageRanting aside, I gave her a bag of grapes, a bag of carrots, and a sandwich. It was turkey and cheese. I might have given her an apple too. I was surprised and reassured when her teacher said, “that’s a healthy lunch, good to see”. It made me wonder, were not all the parents sending healthy lunches? Am I the only one that stresses over making sure my kids are eating the best food possible? Surely not!

Anyways, It’s hard enough making sure kids get the nutrition they need at mealtime, let alone when mom’s not around. That’s why this back-to-school season the makers of V8 are excited to introduce another variety of the new twist on a classic family favorite: V8 V-Fusion Concord Grape Raspberry in new 6-packs of 8-ounce- slim cans. Now with a great-tasting flavor and portable, single-serving can there’s no excuse for not getting enough fruits and veggies at lunch time. The new portable cans are a great tasting way for mom to sneak in a few more veggies into school lunches.

This presents a tasty option to those parents who have trouble getting veggies into their kids. I love this juice, I love to drink it and give it to my kids.

Juice and Cough Drops

by 4 Comments

It’s taking me forever to kick this cold in the bucket. Sneezing, coughing, lack of sleep, it’s an endless cycle and I’m trying so hard to get out of the swirling vortex of exhaustion. To my surprise, Halls and V8 both heard my cries of daily drowning in mucus, sending me two cute get well gifts. I received a dose of yummy juice and a package of Halls cough drops. So now I’m sucking on Halls for the sore throat and building up my vitamin intake with glasses V8. Of course by the time I’m feeling better it’s going to be time for Spring allergies. Aye Yi Yi!

Comforting myself with Campbell’s Soup Company #giveaway

by 184 Comments

SPONGEBOBSoup is one of the most comforting foods I can think of. Campbell’s sent me some of their soups and V-8 Fusions to review just in time for my recovery. I’ve been loving it, the wholesome warmth and gentleness of soup has been great for me and my recovery.

Campbell Soup Company has reduced the sodium in all their kids soups to meet the government criteria for “healthy” foods – controlled for fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and containing a positive nutrient source such as good source of vitamin A.  Plus, the soup’s great taste and fun shapes are sure to help perk up your kids when they’re feeling under the weather this winter.

My kids have finally decided that they like soup too, and even Miles is learning how to eat it.

 

The V8 Fusions juice is actually one of the only brands of juice that I’ll let my kids eat. Because it has more than just fruit and not all sugar. It has vegetables in it. Some of the moms I know will give their kids a v8 just to get some vegetables down them. I used to do that too, but we’re doing pretty well with veggies for now.

What vegetable and fruit juices are included in V8 V-Fusion?

Strawberry Banana contains the juice of 10 vegetables and fruits: sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, beets, white grapes, oranges, apples, strawberries, bananas, banana puree.

Tropical Orange contains the juice of 6 vegetables and fruits: sweet potatoes, carrots, yellow tomatoes, white grapes, oranges, pineapple.

Peach Mango contains the juice of 8 vegetables and fruits: sweet potatoes, yellow tomatoes, yellow carrots, carrots, white grapes, oranges, peaches, mango puree.

Pomegranate Blueberry contains the juice of 8 vegetables and fruits: sweet potatoes, purple carrots, tomatoes, carrots, apples, white grapes, pomegranates, blueberries.
