If you’re a parent, you know that your kids want to eat…and all the time! I kid you not, my children will eat breakfast and then the next time I step foot into the kitchen they start the “I’m starving, my tummy’s grumbling” act for more food. It’s like a sensor goes off in their head and they must get more food. Because of their constant need/desire for food, I need to have many options available at all times. Like an in home grocery store, just call us “Estes Mart“. But more times than not, I grab animal crackers, bags of chips, or with this Texas heat, a popsicle.
We do have fruit and veggies quite often, it’s just hard to keep them interested in them, ha! Plus they are starting to play outside more with the nicer weather, so a cold snack is the way to go. Recently I heard about these Chunks O’ Fruti frozen bar and I had to go to Sam’s to check them out. I loved the variety pack because I was almost certain all the flavors would be my favorite, so even if my kids didn’t like them I would.
But fret not, my kids scarfed theirs down upon first taste. They thought they were so cool getting popsicles and I chuckled at all the fruit they were actually getting without knowing. Not only do the Chunks O’ Fruti bars contain premium fruit, but they are all natural. No added flavors, colors, or high fructose corn syrup. They are fruit and water based and are verified by the Non-GMO Project. Yep, these babies were going to become a permanent fixture in our home.
Is it bad that we ate through our first box in two days. Two days. I mean Sam, my mom (the hot red head pictured), and I all loved them too! You don’t feel silly eating the same thing as the kids, because of all they yummy chunks of fruit in the bars. Because what normal kid’s snacks have chunks of fruit like that! And while I liked all the flavors, cause I had to sample them before giving them to the kids…health reasons of course (ha!), my favorite was the Pina Colada.
Gosh, just saying that makes me want some more! As a matter of fact, I might need to head back to Sam’s tonight so I can grab some more for a play date I have this week. Because then I’ll be the cool mom at the party with the yummy snack bars all the other kids want. And the moms too. 😉 But if you are thinking about getting some for yourself, why not stop by Sam’s on May 13th for a fruit and yogurt demo. And once you try them and love them (like me!) share it with Chunks O’ Fruti on Twitter and Facebook!
So what’s one of your favorite kid’s summer snack?

I love this! My favorite is the Strawberry Cream… reminds me of childhood for some reason! My kid is obsessed with watermelon during the summer.
haha, that’s crazy that it reminds you of your childhood! My sons LOVE the strawberry cream ones as well!
Love your blog! So bright and fun and colorful! I’ve heard so many great things about these fruit bars, I HAVE to try them now. 🙂
Thank you! And YES you must try these bars!!!
I loved the pina colada one! We’ve been enjoying these in the afternoons after we play…well on our warm days. Pretty sure we will be eating them all summer long.
YES!!! I think I need another pina colada one right now!
These are such great treats and pretty nutritious for the kids as well. I also like pina colada but also some of the berry flavors.
Those look delicious!! When I saw that 16 came in a pack, I was thinking – WHERE did that come from!? But of course, Sam’s Club!! 🙂
Right?! With big families like ours, shopping at Sam’s is a necessity. ha!
I always test everything I give to Michael too… for safety reasons. 😉
Right?! We’re good parents then! ha!
