School Lunch the Bane of my Existence
Monday I am up at 6am get Brandon ready for school, make his lunch, come back home and get Quinn ready for preschool. I come home clean, go get Quinn, make lunch, run into town. Come home get Brandon off the bus, make dinner, do homework, do dishes, get both boys ready for soccer. Go to soccer, come home get them in the tub, read a story and get them into bed.
This is Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Plus Thursday is Trash night, Saturday we have soccer games and my family comes over for dinner.
Some mornings I just don't feel like getting up right at 6am. So I hit snooze... TWICE and I am so behind.
I frantically try to whip a lunch together that is healthy and tasty and I know some days I fail. And I fail horribly.
There isn't a lot of "quick" and healthy choices." Normally if I want health I have to spend a few minutes cutting up fruit, washing it and then packing it.
Well no more! I just discovered Crispy Green

My review:
The Crispy Greens are freeze dried so I thought they would be "overly" dried out. But they weren't! There was actually a really nice texture. They almost melt in your mouth! They are in the middle between soft and hard.
The taste was also awesome, you still have all that fruity goodness without the excess juice.
I thought freeze drying would take some of the flavor away, but it seems more potent.
I have a 4 year old and the pieces were perfect bite size for him. I could see these being a great snack not only for big kids, but also for toddlers too.
The low calories, there is no preservatives or additives which makes them a great snacks for parents too.
