Any parent of a toddler knows how important it is to have snacks readily available when you’re on the go. We’re constantly on the move whether it’s out shopping, at the park, or at a sports activity like swimming or gymnastics. With their lightening fast metabolisms and ability to pack away the food I’m always hearing my kids tell me how hungry they are. The challenge is being able to have something in your diaper bag that won’t go bad and is still healthy. For those times when you need to provide them with something to “hold them over” my wife and I have been using Revolution Foods Jammy Sammy’s and Mashups!
They easily store in our diaper bag or the car, come in convenient portions, and best of all their actually healthy! Their products are all made from 100% whole grains and fruit, have no added sugar, and are organic! What’s fun about the Mashups is that since it’s an “applesauce consistency” they can just squeeze them right into their mouths. So not only do they like the taste but it’s kind of fun to eat too.
These were also great travel snacks as well. We recently took a trip from California to Israel and with all that plane travel carrying the right amount of snacks is important. Since these were small enough to fit on our carryon bags we were able to take quite a few with us.
Whether you’re running in between errands or just finishing up Saturday Gymnastics carrying a few of Jammy Sammy’s or Mashups is the way to go!
Revolution Foods has been on a mission to revolutionize the lunchbox by creating a line of easy-to-pack, and yummy to eat nutritious snacks that ensure every little learner is actually eating the good stuff parents packs. With tons of choices, these organic treats will quickly hit the not-to-be-traded lunchtime list.
Here’s a cure all list of love-filled, anti-boredom, fun-boosting snacks:
Jammy Sammy- A snack sized twist on the classic lunchbox favorite.
Made with 100% whole grains and organic fruit spread and/or peanut
butter, these nourishing ingredients help kids last long past the
lunch hour. Available in four perfect pairings: PB & Grape, PB &
Strawberry, Blueberries & Oatmeal, and Apple Cinnamon & Oatmeal
for a retail price of $3.99 for 5 single-servings.
Mashups- Simply organic fruit you squeeze and eat right out of
the pack. Mashups are an easy-squeezy way to get kids to enjoy
the goodness of real organic fruit, making them the perfect
solution for parents aiming to jump start their child’s love for fruit.
Made without added sugar, artificial ingredients, and
Kosher-certified, the four kid-approved varieties include: Berry, Grape, Strawberry-Banana, and Tropical. Available for a retail price of $4.99 for a pack of 4 single servings.
Grammy Sammy- Bringing the goodness of graham and yogurt
together, this grab-n-go combination will be love at first bite.
Unlike traditional graham crackers, the Grammy Sammy uses real whole grains.
These snack sized bars come in familiar favorites with a modern
twist including Honey Graham & Strawberry Yogurt, Cocoa Graham &
Banana Yogurt, and Cinnamon Graham & Vanilla Yogurt for a
suggested retail price is $3.99 for box of 5 single-servings.
In addition to fighting the mid-year blues, these organic snacks

I think the Mashups sound great, and we absolutely love meals/snacks that can travel with us when we are away from home.
