As part of my sponsored Back to School party, I was asked to review Slammers by Go Gourmet. Since my kids are snackaholics, this is right up our alley! And an added bonus - they are snack pouches!! Perfect for snacking in my new car.
While most pouches are geared toward toddlers, Slammers Snacks are geared toward older kids and even teens! They are healthy and convenient and include superfoods and fruits and veggies. Some even have 7 grams of protein.
We tried the AWESOME flavor - bananas, blueberries, strawberries, beets, acai, amaranth (which is a highly nutritious gluten-free grain). What did my kids think? They wanted more, of course! We served them cold and the kids were very happy with the flavor. I liked the flavor and the consistency and loved that they include some really great superfoods!
Other available flavors are:
- Creamy Banana Chocolate with 7 grams of protein adding to the delicious blend of organic bananas, organic sweet potatoes, coconut cream and organic cocoa
- Watermelon Kiwi Burst with 7 grams of protein plus strawberry, kiwi, watermelon, apple, banana and beet
- Pomegranate Grape Crush with 7 grams of protein plus grape, pomegranate, coconut, apple, banana and purple carrot
- CHILL'N with banana, blueberry, butternut squash, Greek yogurt and yumberry
- EPIC with mango, banana, orange, carrot, Greek yogurt and real vanilla
- PUMPED with banana, pineapple, mango, ancient grains, butternut squash and cinnamon
As a mom to 6 and 7 year olds who are constantly on the go, individual, ready-to-go snacks are often a must. Many days we run home, kids work on homework and then we head out to the afternoon's activity. I am always on the lookout for snacks that are healthier options, yet easily transportable and most importantly, not messy in my new car. HA! Slammers fits the bill here. I plan to keep some in the freezer to drop in lunch boxes to help keep everything else cool and give the kids a refreshing, yet healthy, treat at school and some in the fridge for our on-the-go needs. The kids love them and the fact that they are packed with nutrients is an added bonus! I also love that they use ingredients from certified organic farms and they contain no added sugar and no artificial ingredients. How cool is that? My kids also commented that they don't look like baby pouches - that they are cool looking. :) Works for me!
