Funky Monkey Giveaway!

Before we know it, life will be back to a scheduled school day and after school activities.  As a Mom, I always strive to find healthy snacks to keep my kids going between meals.  Healthy snacks that taste good used to be difficult to find but we have found a winner.

One day while making my weekly (more like several times a week ☺) trip to Target, I found these Funky Monkey snacks.  They are freeze dried fruit with NOTHING artificial about them.  Funky Monkey Snacks are Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, Peanut and Tree Nut Free, plus there are no artificial colors and no added sugar.  They taste crunchy, sweet and delicious.  All three of my kids have really enjoyed them, especially the Bananamon!  YUM!  Applemon, Bananamon, Carnival Mix, Pink Pineapple, Purple Funk, and Jivealime, there's something for everyone!

Funky Monkey is a perfect grab an go snack or lunch box treat.  It's great for.....

 A healthy lunch (they're the little pineapple chips in the middle).

After soccer practice.

 Helping out in the garden.

While doing arts and crafts.

Or as an awesome after school snack.

Un-Birthday Lunch

Tomorrow, is Molly's Un-Birthday at school.  Her real birthday is in the summer.  She is so excited to be the special birthday girl tomorrow.  She gets to have a special sticker, a crown and other fun special things.  She is bringing in a snack and drink too.  Our school district has implemented a healthy snack policy so she is bringing in frozen grapes and little Hug drinks.  It is going to be in the 90's tomorrow and her school doesn't have air conditioning so we think that it will be a nice refreshing snack.  PS - little Hug drinks are only 10 calories and don't have nearly as much sugar as Kool-Aid or Capri Sun.

 

A friend of mine recommended the new Thomas' Pretz-A-Bagels so that is our main entrée.  We cut the Pretz-A-Bagel in half and put Trader Joe's pimento cheese spread on it.  Cheese and pretzels are such a great combinations.

Our vegetable side is sugar snap peas.  They will be cool and crispy on a hot day.

Our fruit side is mixed berries again.  We have strawberries, raspberries and blackberries as per her request.

Our dairy side is low fat cottage cheese.  Molly really likes cottage cheese and it will be a great source of protein and a cool and filling treat.

Finally, we added a fun size bag of Skittles because every kid deserves a special treat on their Un-Birthday!
