It’s That Time Again: Time to Start Thinking About Healthy School Lunches and After School Snacks

August 13, 2013 By Joi Sigers

Crispy Green Dried Bananas

Is it just me, or did this summer fly by faster than any summer has ever flown? Don’t get me wrong, this Autumn fanatic isn’t complaining or anything – it just seems like the weeks zipped past. I’m sure 9 out of 10 kids are more upset about it than I am because the end of summer marks the beginning of school.  Come to think about it, I’m sure there are lots of teachers, aides, secretaries, principals, etc who aren’t much happier than the kids!

With apologies to all who are bumming about summer coming to a close, I have to state the obvious – it IS time to start planning healthy school lunches and after school snacks. Thankfully, there are endless options when it comes to wraps, sandwiches, salads, soups, and so on.  There are also a lot of outstanding healthy snacks on the market as well.  Crispy Green is one that comes to mind.

Crispy Green is 100% freeze-dried fruit and nothing else. That’s it. Good, wholesome, healthy, and naturally sweet fruit.  No additives, no preservatives, no unnecessary calories…

The “Goods” on Crispy Fruit

  • Light, crispy texture with fresh fruit taste
  • No additives or preservatives
  • No fat, no cholesterol
  • No skin or cores
  • Natural fruit fiber and nutrients
  • Only 55 or less calories per serving

Crispy Green is having a special right now. If you spend $25 in the next few days (by August 16), you can receive two FREE bags of Crispy Fruit Pineapples. I honestly think the pineapple slices would probably be one of the most delicious, too, which makes the deal even sweeter.  I haven’t tried these fruit snacks yet, but when I do I’ll let you know how good they are.  No doubt the bananas, apples, pears, and pineapples are all ridiculously good.
