Musselman’s New Applesauce: Giveaway

applesauce

Shortly after I wrote this post, Musselman’s contacted me to see if I’d like to sample their new Totally Fruit and Healthy Picks products.  They must’ve thought I was working too hard.  ;-)

At my doorstep arrived a beautiful package full of applesauce; a four-pack each of six different varieties!  I immediately hid the box from the kids, waiting for the right time to share my surprise.  Individually packaged, flavored applesauce might not be a big deal at your house, but around here… it’s nearly as fun as Christmas!

The time was right this week as we were faced with a long day and night without daddy.  I gathered the kids around their little table and told them we were going to have a party:  a taste-testing party.

We opened one cup of each flavor and dug in.  One word:  YUM. My 6 year old health critic only briefly tried to spoil our fun:

Her: Do they have sugar in them?

Me: No.  Just juice.

Her: Does the juice have sugar?

Me: Nope.  Just juice.

Her: Good.  I hope we have some left so I can take them for lunch at school!

I did my research before going toe to toe with the wise and wondering six-year-old.

Not one to purchase a lot of packaged foods, I can get behind Totally Fruit applesauce.

  • It has no high fructose corn syrup.
  • It counts as a daily serving of fruit.
  • It’s naturally sweetened with real fruit juice.
  • It has no artificial colors or flavors.
  • It comes in three kid-friendly flavors (Strawberry, Peach and Apple).

And for the adults (if you can wrestle some from the kids), enjoy Healthy Picks.

  • It’s made with antioxidant-rich super fruits.
  • It’s a good source of fiber, calcium and vitamin C.
  • It has no added sugar.
  • It has no artificial colors or flavors.
  • It’s great on the go since it doesn’t need to be refrigerated.

My personal favorite has to be the Blueberry Pomegranate.  My kids?  Strawberry.  But the others are delicious, too, and guess what?!  One of you will get to try all six new flavors!

Giveaway:  Leave a comment telling me which flavor you are most excited to try:  (Strawberry, Peach, Apple, Blueberry Pomegranate, Raspberry Açaí or Key Lime Cupuaçu)  Giveaway ends Sunday, September 27 at 8:00 pm CST.

And just in case you don’t win ;-) , sign up here for a $1.00 off coupon, good on any 4-pack of Totally Fruit or Healthy picks.  Enjoy!

Disclaimer:  Musselman’s gave me the applesauce to try.  They did not require that I write a post, but I just thought it was so good!  I wasn’t paid in any way for my opinion.
