Make Lunches in Under 6 Minutes!

With Santa Cruz Organics products!

By Nicole Donnelly, MK Annapolis October 20, 2016
Many of you are aware that I am in the middle of a "life revamp," which includes purging my home, exercising, time management and eating better. I am making really awesome progress in all areas and am especially proud of the progress I am making in the food department.

Getting myself to eat healthy isn't such a chore. Getting my family to eat healthy is a different story. This is why I love Santa Cruz Organic's products. They taste great and are good for my family!

So I was excited when they sent me a bunch of products to try and challenged me to make a lunch in under 6 minutes using their peanut butter, fruit spread and apple sauce pouches. Challenge accepted! I was pumped to get started, not because I love a little challenge and competition, but mostly because I wanted to lick the knife after spreading that peanut butter!

Check out how I did!

A little bit about the products I used:

~Fruit Spreads: These come in a huge variety of flavors, like 
apricot, blackberry pomegranate, grape, mango, red raspberry and strawberry. So many jarred fruit spreads are hard to actually spread, which makes lunch time so annoying. Not these. They are super easy to spread and taste amazing!

~Peanut Butters: I'm a sucker for peanut butter but I find a lot of the natural, healthy peanut butters are difficult to spread and rip apart my bread. Not these! These have natural ingredients, taste amazing and are made without any hydrogenated oils! Plus, it comes in four varieties, which is more than enough to satisfy any of my nutty moods! (Dark Roasted Creamy, Dark Roasted Crunchy, Light Roasted Creamy, Light Roasted Crunchy.)

~Pouches: Santa Cruz Organic pouches are available in three flavors and are made by grinding up certified USDA organic apples into a smooth, saucy blend for a perfect lunchbox addition or grab-and-go after school snack. The three flavors include applesauce, cinnamon apple and apple strawberry. Something for everyone in the family!
