Tree Top Apple Sauce Pouches

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tree Top.

I like to joke that my kids are Fruitarians. They LOVE fruit. They could probably live on a diet of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, oranges, bananas... you get my drift.

The only time I worry about my kids not getting enough of the nutritious benefits that they normally get from eating so much fruit at home is when we're on-the-go.

And, as a mom of a six-year-old and a nine-year-old, we're on the go A LOT. When my kids were toddlers, I used to always have time to cut up fresh berries and grapes and have them in the car. But now that they're older and we're all busier, I need something FAST, something immediate, that I can just throw into the car or into my purse.

Recently, my kids had the opportunity to try out the brand new Tree Top Apple Sauce Pouches. My first thought when they arrived: "YAY! They're so cute and portable!"

Portable is key in my life right now, folks.

Being a longtime Oregonian, I grew up enjoying Tree Top products, which are made in our neighboring state of Washington. Tree Top Apple Sauce Pouches are available in packs of four pouches per box, and come in four delicious flavors:

• Cinnamon
• Mango
• Strawberry
• Apple

My son's favorite was the Apple Mango. It has a sweet flavor without being sugary sweet. That's because it's made with simple, wholesome, nutritious ingredients, including 100% USA grown apples. At just 60 calories or less per pouch, the Tree Top Apple Sauce Pouches provide 100% Vitamin C daily value per serving, contain NO high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial flavors or colors. That's what I like about it; my son just likes how it tastes! :)

The Tree Top Apple Sauce Pouches are super easy for my kids to enjoy in the car between activities, playdates, and errands -- without the mess. You know what I'm talking about, moms: the gross moldy squished snacks that kids love to leave behind between the seats for you to find months later. Just pop them into their backpacks or sports bags and we're good to go.

They even conveniently fit perfectly into my on-the-go work purse pockets, so if my kids are out & about with me while I'm working (which happens often), I can still look professional AND make sure my kids have easy access to nutritious snacks.

Meanwhile, the baker in me is itching to use the Apple Cinnamon pouch in a recipe for morning muffins. Apple cinnamon muffins are so tasty, and I bet using the Tree Top Apple Sauce Pouch in Apple Cinnamon could help cut down on some of the fat and sugar that I would normally use in muffins. I'll try it soon and let you know if it turns out! You can also find many family-friendly recipes using Tree Top products on their website.
