The post and giveaway are brought to you by the folks at Sprout®. All comments and opinions are my own.
I pack lunch boxes for the boys almost every single day for school. My guys are funny about what they eat and I have never been thrilled with the school lunch choices that I see on the menu each week. I just can’t see how the school can count french fries as a veggie. Now don’t get me wrong, my boys eat their fair share of “kid junk” but I think they need a good healthy meal to keep them fueled for school. With snacks like the new Sprout® Organic SMASH, I can fill the boys’ lunch boxes with healthy food that they love!
Sprout® Organic SMASH is a fruit and vegetable squeezable snack, made for kids and is perfect as a lunch box filler or as an after-school snack. What we love about these new pouches is that unlike other squeezable pouch snacks, it’s not applesauce and does not have apple-leading flavors. So it expands our lunch box options which is important since they take a lunch every single weekday. Plus, since each pouch is made with 25% vegetables, I know that they are getting the good stuff.
There are two flavors available at Publix – Berry Blast and Very Banana Berry. SMASH comes in a four pack and each pouch is an excellent source of vitamins A & C. Of course my guys aren’t interested in the nutritional information, they just care that it tastes great. That’s fine with me…I’ll worry about their health and they can just keep on enjoying the taste!
You can grab a great discount on the new Sprout® Organic SMASH right now at Publix. We have a sale in the current Advantage Buy flyer. With the sale you get a four pack for just $3—that’s just 75¢ per serving.

Sugar content
so always worried about my girls eating too much sugar
After reading the cancer cure it is artificial colors and dyes.
I look for a balance of healthy and natural for my boys.
I look for something organic but also something the kids will actually eat! Kids can be picky.
Nothing artificial!
I look for fiber and no artificial colors!
I like to make sure they have protein and fruits.
Taste ~ because let’s face it. If it doesn’t taste good they won’t eat it.
no artificial colors and dyes
I love to buy my daughter, Quinn healthy, quick snacks that are tasty. As she is so very picky! She loves Sprout organic smashes!
I always like to have healthy snacks on hand, that still taste good!
Organic and healthy!!!
I want something that looks fun, if my kids can be tricked into eating something healthy that’s what I have to do.
I love snacks that have vegetables hidden in them.
i look for healthy ingreients
Mainly low sugar content
I agree with Sonja – if it don’t taste good, they won’t eat it! Same goes for me!
Fiber, protein, and sugar content. Thank you!!
I look for a yummy taste that isn’t high in sugar!
Healthy and low in sugar
I look for products made with real fruit and no high fructose corn syrup.
Artificial colors are a no no for snacks in my house.
the amount of sugar is what I look for.
The ingredients are the most important thing. I want to make sure what I give her is nutritious!

It has to be natural and delicious!

Delicious ingredients, yummy and healthy!
I look for organic, low in sugar, dye free and easy to grab snacks!
I make sure it is made of real ingredients and without artificial junk or GMOs. My baby’s body is still developing so it needs only the purest and best to live a healthy life.
Something healthy and tastes good.
Low calories, high protein
All natural and tasty.
If I can read the ingredients!! or even pronounce them correctly. If I can’t, I am very hesitant to purchase.
I look for whole food snacks.
Low sugar, high fiber and protein.
Healthy, tasty, and affordable With 8 kids affordable plays an important role in snack choices.
Having them be healthy and my kids also liking them. That’s the hard part.
nothing artificial! and yummy!
I like for foods to have no added preservatives.
I look for the contents to be tasty and healthy. The packaging for kids is a total plus if it looks fun and the colors are attractive. Getting them to taste and like the products all depends on the look of the package and color of food. Sprout makes the package fun and easy to pack for lunches and quick snacks and the colors and flavor are wonderful. Now they eat healthy and don’t know it…it just is good to them…yay all around!!!
natural ingredients and less sugar
I look for it to have low sugar and be healthy!
I love for products to have great nutrition content (low sugar, high protein/fiber), but the kids have to want to eat it too!!
non-gmo, preferably organic, low sugar, no artificial ingredients, of course taste that the kids like, whole grain, preferably other than wheat : quinoa, brown rice, millet, buckwheat etc; not too processed!
No added sugar for sure!
Honestly, the MOST important thing is that they will actually eat it! There’s no point buying something that will come back at the end of the day. Thankfully, they do like healthier foods.
We are a family of 6 and we are busy with school, cheerleading, baseball, tumbling and theatre. I am always looking for healthy (preferably organic) snacks that taste good, don’t have artificial colors or GMO, and convenience is a big plus! My teenagers love to toss a pouch into their backpack for a quick afternoon snack while they are waiting for practice to begin. As a member of several coupon groups, I also look for value and available savings when making a choice. Fortunately, Publix has provided coupons which prompted me to try Sprout Smash!
as healthy as possible!!!
I look at foods which have the least(or close to none)preservatives. I also look for low sugar content when I have my three grand daughters with me.
I try to pick something organic or at least minimally processed and preferably lower in sugar.
As healthy as I can find that they will also eat!
The most important thing I look for when buying snacks for the kids is that they have no artificial ingredients.
The organic seal like here is important..more and more looking for non GMO as well.
Less sugar.
The most important thing I look for is nutritional value and that the littles love the food.
Healthy and easy are my main goals. This awesome product will hit both those key points. Will be looking for them in store!

A healthy snack, and something they will eat.
Whole ingredients, protein and little added sugar.
Always looking the organic label from USDA . The best ingredients are better for kids
I always choice the organic and the best brand snack for children
Healthy food
he most important thing to me, to be honest, is that my kids actually enjoy and eat their snacks. I hate finding that they have thrown their food away
Must be healthy and nutritious!
The most important thing I look for in a child’s snack is nutrition.
For me, the most important thing to look for is – what is the number one -first – ingredient? The ingredients list is a make or break deal .
Low sugar content
I read the nutritional labels and check the first couple ingredients which make up the bulk of the product. Plus, if the kids won’t eat or drink the snack it’s wasted, so they have to like it.
I buy a lot of fruits and try to find organic snacks that will pass the kid test 🙂
I try to find the healthiest snacks possible but taste is a key factor!
nutrition and vitamins
Something tasty, that they will love to eat !
Something that tastes good and is good for them
Healthy but something they will love to eat.
lower sugar
I look for ways to sneak veggies in. I do well getting them to eat fruit but if I kind find a snack they love that also provides veggies then it is a winner for me!
Convienence and taste
additives
I look for organic ingredients
I look for foods that will leave my son’s body as pure and clean as it is now!
things with “real” ingredients.
Healthy that tastes good or they won’t eat it
Non preservative foods, no additives
The most important thing I look for when buying snacks for the family – is will they actually eat it?!
My boys are picky. I just try to find hidden veggie or fruit. And lower sugar
I look for products with the least amount of ingredients.
I try to balance it with substance, sweet, healthy, and something that makes them happy. It is hard with two kids to make sure that the lunch is healthy and filling. Plus I do not want to put anything in their that goes to the waste can instead of their stomach.
I try to get foods with short ingredient lists, and no additives/chemicals. I’ll also try to get organic when possible.
no gmos, colors, perservatives, and organic
Healthy options are the best, especially when convenient to take on the go!

We try to avoid artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Let’s get back to real food again!! This product sounds great…can’t wait to try!
I look at the ingredients namely the sugar content.
When I Shop For Snakes For My Children As Well As My Church Ministry Peanut Butter & Jelly For Jesus, I Look For All Natural Ingredients And As Less Possible Sugar Additives As Possible. Eating And Drinking Healthy Is Very Important.
WE LOOK FOR ADDITIVES & EXTRAS…AVOID THEM WHEN WE CAN!
