Squooshi Reusable Food Pouches - Healthy Goodness On-the-go - A Parents New BFF

Sponsored by USFG and +Squooshi 

It's been a little while since I've posted a review on my blog and I regret that I've fallen so far behind throughout these past 4 or 5 months. Life has changed drastically for my family and it's been quite tough to keep up with everything that I had going on during the end of last year (2013). I'm still not 100% back on feet yet and struggle daily but I believe that if I start focusing my time back on work then I can get through these rough times and start getting my life back together again. I want to apologize to everyone for deserting you all and I promise to do better from now on. Thank you for the ones who never gave up on me and continue to stand by "My Kind Of Introduction" as well as myself. I appreciate you all more than I'll ever be able to fully express!!

Now lets get down to business.....

Being a parent is such a joyful experience that I'd never give up for anything in the world, but there are always those challenges that make my head hurt.

For example: Making sure my children eat healthy without having to sneak in the healthy foods or fight my child over the potato chips.

Having that said - I was super excited when I received a package last month that claimed to hold the answer to my troubles, 3 Squooshi pouches for me to test out with my girls.

What is a Squooshi and how can your family benefit from them?

I'll be happy to explain:

A Squooshi is a refillable, dishwasher safe food pouch that's used for squishing up fresh fruit, vegetables and more for children! They come in many cute designs that children love and can take ANYWHERE they desire (school, park, car, daycare etc.)

We've all seen the squeeze packs at the supermarket that contain the apple sauce mixtures and squished fruit flavors, right? I believe they first showed up with a few flavor choices, in the toddler section, they have twisty caps used for resealing. Today you can find a variety of brands and flavors, not only in the toddler section but in the fruit section as well. They range in price from $1 - $3.99 each and come in all kinds of different flavor combinations. Not to mention that they're enjoyed by children as young as age 1 as well as kids ages 8 and up! (My daughters, who are now at the ages of 7 & 8, enjoy eating them for a quick snack while their outside playing with friends!) The only downfall about these fruit pouches is that they're not refillable and have the tendency to be eaten up pretty darn fast!!

That's why the idea of a washable, reusable pouch is so wonderful! Squooshi pouches can be easily filled with any soft and/or squishable food that your child may request, the fun part is creating their own flavors by adding a few different fruits together inside the pouch, maybe even a veggie or two!

When it comes to actually squishing the fruits, you can do it one of two ways:

1. Manually squish the fruits by hand once the fruit is added and the pouch is securely closed using the zipper at the bottom of the Squooshi (Just make sure you don't overfill the pouch which can cause the zipper to pop open and fruit to go everywhere).
2. You can also use a blender or food processor to get the fruit and vegetables to the right "applesauce-like texture." (As long as you don't go too far and wind up with more of a juice other than a thick squish.)

What I love most about these amazing pouches is that clean-up is as simple as loading the dishwasher - since Squooshi reusable food pouches are 100% dishwasher safe! Jade and Loran have always been fans of those store bought fruit squishes and now they absolutely love being able to experiment with different foods to create their very own flavor creations! I no longer have to worry about my girls eating healthy since Squooshi's can be eaten for Breakfast, on the go, for snacks and so much more!! The strong zipable bottoms and the tight fitting lid are great and who could forget those adorable animals that make Squooshi's a one of a kind treat that even the oldest enjoy.

Healthy Snacking with All Natural SoyJoy

★All Natural SoyJoy Bars★
Sponsored by Influenser & SoyJoy

★#VioletVoxBox★

Start out 2014 with a step in a healthier direction!

Happy New Year!
I know I'm a bit late with the New Years greetings but better late then never right?! I hope everyone has had a wonderful beginning to 2014, mine has been pretty decent, especially when you factor in our current living situation, which is a bit stressful at times. Yes, it gets hectic at times but I'm extremely grateful to have such wonderful friends. 

Now that it's 2014, it's time to set up some goals so you can keep all of those New Year Resolutions that you made. If you plan on exploring a healthier lifestyle then I highly recommend trying out All Natural SoyJoy bars. With just 6 grams of fat, SoyJoy bars are extremely healthy and surprising delicious.

When I realized that my #VioletVoxBox was hiding a SoyJoy bar inside, I didn't really know what to think. I'd never ate anything that was made from soy before so I didn't know what to expect of this little Dark Chocolate Cherry SoyJoy bar, but with a flavor combination like that, I had to give it a try.

A few nights ago, while waiting on my fiance to get home from work, I got a little hungry and since I didn't want to make a lot of noise in the kitchen with it being 1am, I reached for my Influenser #VioletVoxBox and headed for the SoyJoy bar!
When I opened the pack, I was amused to see a slim rectangular bar with visible fruit pieces inside. I took my first bite with caution and even though it had a unique flavor that I wasn't use too, it was yummy! The unique flavor was the soy, which I'd never tried before but was pretty pleased with the taste. Not to mention the combined flavors of chocolate and cherry that added to the yumminess! My taste buds were surprisingly happy and knowing that my after midnight snack was a healthy one, made things even better!

SoyJoy bars are baked with ground whole soy as well as real fruit with no artificial colors, flavors, hydrogenated oils or gluten! Amazing right?!
I'm not a big healthy eater but I woulld definitely eat another SoyJoy bar - I wouldn't mind tasting a different flavor though, because having variety is a wonderful thing!

I honestly would of never tried SoyJoy bars if it wasn't for my #VioletVoxBox! They find some of the coolest products to fill those little boxes with!! I love it! Who would of thought that I would end up enjoying the taste of SoyJoy bars?
I highly recommend trying one of these awesome lil' bars. Don't let the soy scare you off, I promise that you'll be amazed!

Don't know where to find SoyJoy bars? Check them out on the SoyJoy website for more flavors, information and so much more!

Available at Walmart.com

Going Natural with NatureBox - My Review

#Sponsored By +NatureBox

Bringing Nature into my family with NatureBox
 - My Review -

My family and I are no where near organic. Some may not even consider us Green, but I do my best to  bring green products in to my home and help out the earth when ever I can. When I ran across NatureBox while on Facebook one afternoon, I was very interested to see what all consists of a NatureBox. The more I looked into it the more I realized that the snacks you receive in the NatureBox could be a nice addition to my family's normal eating habits.

NatureBox is a monthly-subscription company that ships a box of Healthy Snacks to your door, once a month.

-- What comes in each NatureBox? --
Healthy, yummy snacks! Each month the NatureBox team gathers company and customer input to come up with new, carefully crafted snacks to add to their growing collection. Around the same time each month you will receive a box including 5 all-natural, high quality snacks!

When I received my March box, I was curious to see what was inside. My daughters had me open it in the car, just so they could see what was inside too! I found 5 bags of natural snacks, all different and the flavors sounded really nice.

Once we got home my fiance sat down and opened each bag. We tried all the snacks and were very surprised at how delicious they all tasted! As soon as I saw the dried Granny Smith Apples (Vegan)... I knew I was in heaven! I'd been looking for some similar to the one in my Naturebox since I was in middle-school and a school-mate brought some in for an Appalachian Project in English Class!
Also in our NatureBox we found - Sunshine Chips (Vegan-Veggie Chips), Toasted Cheddar Stix, Honey Mesquite Almonds and Roasted Kettle Kernels (Corn Kernels).

My personal favorite were the Granny Smith Apples, they tasted so good and brought me back to my middle-school years.
My daughters LOVED the Roasted Kettle Kernels and they were the first bag to be emptied! The Honey Mesquite Almonds weren't far behind.

It's hard to believe that my family enjoyed every natural snack that was in the NatureBox! I didn't expect that at all! We're use to store chips and sugar filled gummies!

When I asked Loran (age 6) what she thought about her new snacks, this is the response that I received - "I ate all the nuts and corn seeds and they were so delicious. They were all yummy and I liked the spicy cheese stix too!"

We truly couldn't be happier with our NatureBox! It was DELICIOUS and HEALTHY! You really can't much better than that!

I recommend NatureBox to anyone looking to bring healthier snacks into their home. Vegan choices are also available.

NatureBox is just $19.95 per month
Shipping is always FREE

Why my family is CRAZY for Nutella!

Nutella... The Yummy 'Chocolate' Spread

Being healthy is always near the top of my list of things to do in life, but I never seem to be able to concentrate on it. I don't like salads... I don't many veggies at all, I'm not a active type of girl so exercise is out and I don't cook all the time like most moms do, so when it comes to eating healthy and feeding my kids healthy foods, I get stumped sometimes.

Then I ran across Nutella. I'd seen the commercials on TV but wasn't sure if it would be too sweet or too bitter. I had to give it a try. Once I brought it home, my girls were very excited to try it! I decided to put the Nutella on toast. They called it Chocolate Toast, it was gone in minutes! My girls couldn't get enough of the Chocolate Toast! I couldn't help put stick my finger right into that jar and taste the Nutella myself....

It was DELICIOUS!

I've always enjoyed Hazelnuts but never tried them in a spread. I had convinced myself that the Cocoa was going to over-power everything else but I was wrong... It's a perfect blend. My family can't get enough of that yummy goodness! My little ones even like Chocolate Toast for snacks as well as for breakfast! We also put our Nutella on sandwiches. My youngest likes to eat Nutella and Jelly sandwiches while my oldest liked her Nutella with a little peanut-butter and sometimes a little touch of jelly as well. Even my fiance, who don't like the taste of chocolate that much (I know, crazy right!?) , enjoys a little bit of Nutella every now and then. 

The best part is that my little girls are eating healthy and don't even know it! Nutella Ferrero Hazelnut Spread with Skim Milk & Cocoa is a WONDERFUL replacement for any unhealthy breakfast habit your family might have!

Who doesn't want Chocolate for Breakfast?!

I've been buying Nutella for my family for a couple years now but I never thought of going to their website and seeing what it had to offer until tonight.

I was putting up grocery's earlier and when I got to the Nutella, I saw the website on the back on the jar and decided to check it out. I did expect much but was very surprised.

Did you know that a Healthy Breakfast in the morning helps with the intake of fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals throughout your day?

I didn't have a clue!

At NutellaUSA.com you can go through a Breakfast Builder and find out how many calories the breakfast you ate, or are about to eat, has and what percent it is compared to your daily estimated requirements.

Here is the results for Nutella on Whole Wheat Toast
