EnviroKidz Crispy Rice Bars Giveaway - New Flavors!

8Sep2008 Filed under: Food & Drink, Kids' Stuff Author: lauralee

I’m not a big fan of school lunches, so I pack my older twins’ lunches every single day. It’s a drag putting together a healthy lunch at 6 in the morning, but I do it, because I want to know what they’re eating during the day. And as easy as it would be to just start them a lunch account at school, I just *know* they wouldn’t eat school cafeteria tacos. Or hoagies. Or salisbury steak! And I really don’t see the nutritional value in eating bread sticks dunked in tomato sauce, which appears on the lunch menu at least twice a month.

Besides packing their lunches, I also pack a snack in their backpacks so they have something to much on in the afternoon. Being a kindergartener makes you hungry! I’m always trying to find some healthy treat for them to take once in awhile, to break up the monotony of eating fruit and string cheese. Here’s a GREAT option for little kids - EnviroKidz Crispy Rice Bars. We’ve tried these in the past and they’re delicious, and I just had a chance to sample two brand new flavors – Lemur Peanut Choco Drizzle (chunky peanut butter and peanuts with chocolate drizzle) and Penguin Fruity Burst (‘marshmallowy’ taste with colourful bits of fun fruity bursts). These low fat bars are made from whole brown rice, they’re low in sugar and sodium, and they’re also gluten free. And they’re GOOD! We received samples to try a few weeks ago, and I had to track down some promo images to use in this post because my family scarfed down the samples so quickly I didn’t have a chance to photograph them.

Aren’t they cute?

Want to try them for yourself? Leave a comment here letting me know your favorite healthy snack option for your kids, and I’ll draw one winner on Monday, September 15th. The winning commenter will receive both flavors in the mail!

I have crazy kids, they ask for edamame for snacks. I think it’s a result of peer pressure though because S sees her friends devour it, so she wants to eat it, then A wants to eat what sissy is eating.

DD loves green beans fresh from the garden. Both kids love the carrots that we get straight from the garden. DD also likes dried apricots and hard boiled eggs. She’s a strange kid I tell ya!

May Canadians enter? I don’t have kids, but I babysit a lot for one family and those kids love the dried apples I make.

apples from our apple tree, dried fruit, natural peanut butter
Our youngest is allergic to corn and various other foods so we use a lot of rice. These sound like something we could try.

Any way that I can incorporate healthier foods into my child’s diet is a blessing. We do have fruit regularly but this a way of getting healthy food in without the kids noticing. I also have a lot of complaints about the school menu, but unfortunately, they have a pretty low standard that they seem to follow. Thanks for the chance to try this product, it does help as my kids are also a bit on the picky side.

Oh crap. Would you believe I forgot all about this? Apparently all of y’all did, too, because I haven’t had any angry emails demanding to know the whereabouts of their crispy rice bars. My bad. I’ll draw tonight.
