Organic Applesauce Peanut Butter and Juicebox Give-Away

Smörgåsbord

I don’t know about you, but I love me some organic food. Santa Cruz Organic and R. W. Knudsen Organic ‘Sensible Sippers’ stole our hearts soon after they arrived in our home. They sent us a box full of organic samples in the mail that weighed as much as a heavy stack of text books. We couldn’t believe how much food was in it. Did I mention that I love food? In this BOX o’ ORGANICS (the very same box you can win in this post) were a bunch of juice boxes, two jars of organic peanut butter (crunchy and creamy), and FOUR different kinds of applesauce! The UPS man may never recover from carrying all that food up to my door.

There was Apple Apricot Sauce, Apple Blackberry Sauce, Apple Cinnamon Sauce and Apple Raspberry Sauce… oh, it was dreamy!

I wish we still had some in the refrigerator right now.

Applesauce is one of our favorite snacks during school because it is healthy and easy (no peeling necessary). I just don’t pass up free applesauce, y’all. Applesauce is a Sprittibee staple. I HAD to try this stuff… and I was NOT disappointed. It is crazy good. I am in to brand loyalty (stuck in my ways), but I’m telling you – we have been pining for this stuff since the last of it disappeared.

Unfortunately, the nearest store that sells it is quite a ways in to town. We remain determined to get some more, though. The kids even mentioned it to me today. I’m hoping to talk our local grocery store in to carrying these yummy treats.

After the applesauce vanished, we dug in to the juice boxes. I don’t know about you, but I like to add water to my juice to make it less sweet so the kids don’t get used to so much sugar. This is especially true for the little ones and kids who are sensitive to sugar in the first place. R. W. Knudsen Organic Sensible Sippers thought of everything. Now you don’t have to worry about the kids getting STRAIGHT juice when they crack open a cold juice box on the go – theirs come with 50% juice, 50% water… and they are entirely ORGANIC! My little Bee is sure to be enjoying these in the future!

We loved the flavors, too: Apple, Fruit Punch (organic apple, pineapple, orange, and lemon juices), Banana (shown above), and Mixed Berry (organic apple, raspberry, blackberry, cherry and white grape juices). Mmmm!

Of course, their peanut butter wasn’t bad, either. Tastes great with my plum jelly on a PBJ for lunch! In fact, we ate some today! What I love is that they have light roasted creamy or crunchy and DARK roasted creamy or crunchy! They call it ‘gourmet peanut butter’. I just call it yummy.

  3. I signed up for your recipes at your gathering manna site. I have always enjoyed looking at your recipes there. I signed up under my email- bethypa@yahoo.com. These comments are sent under my son's gmail account, hence the difference.

  4. My favorite snack idea for this year is popcorn. I like it because it is quick, filling and you can mix up the flavor- salty, cheesy, kettle corn, caramel.. so many options. Or with just plain butter. It makes everyone sit down to share and talk too.

  7. I had a hard time choosing on the Knudson website which recipes looked the best! I fell in love with all the smoothie recipes..My top 5 are:
    Heavenly pineapple coconut smoothie
    Pumpkin Pie smoothie
    Boysenberry Burst
    breakfast bananza
    kiwi kick
    YUM!

  8. From the Santa Cruz website…I would love to try the Super Fruit Blands! I dont have any Santa Cruz juice near me anywheres…but it sure does look good and een better…its organic!

  9. I homeschool…so my fav snack idea is something great the kids can help me make! My kiddos are 5 and 6. They love to make FRUIT SALAD!! It is easy, yummy and healthy too!

  10. On the Knudsen sight, I am making the French Toast. Looks like a new twist on our favoite breakfast for supper.

  13. i would love to try the Pineapple Yam Bake recipe! Especially when yams are so plentiful in the fall. Thank you!

  15. At the Knudsen site, I found a recipe for SOY Panna Cotta. This is awesome because my son is allergic to dairy! cookiecutter72 at hotmail dot com

  18. Im going to try the Knudsen for the Peachy Keen smoothie. Im making yogurt in the crockpot now!

  19. The Santa Cruz Apricot Mango juice is wonderful! Put in some crushed ice or make popsicles for the kiddos! YUM!

  21. My easiest and most healthy after school snack (actually we homeschool so its an anytime snack) is when I make smoothies in the morning, then freeze the leftovers in popsicles for the kids. I have a recipe called the Popeye smoothie which has OJ, spinach, coconut oil, flax seeds and a handful of frozen blueberries!

  40. Favorite Snack Idea: Pumpkin Cake! This weekend I mixed up a dark chocolate cake mix with a small can of pumpkin, two eggs and two Tbs of oil. Bake by directions on the box.

    I glazed it with a powdered sugar/cocoa glaze but it would be good with just a dab of cool whip!

    The great thing is you can switch out any type of cake mix! Yellow, white or SPICE would be yummy.

    I added 2 T cinnamon to the cake mix and 2tsp of cinnamon to the glaze too to shake it up a bit.

    Extra fiber and veggies! 😉

  41. I like the recipe for the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. Coming from the "Pumpkin Capital of the World," I have a weakness for anything pumpkin!!

  44. A snack we like at our house:

    Party rye bread
    mayo
    cucumber, cut in slices
    crazy pepper

    Spread a little mayo on each slice of party rye bread. Add a cucumber slice and sprinkle with crazy pepper!

  47. My kids and I love it when I make a fruit dip made of marshmallow fluff, cream cheese and a bit of vanilla extract mixed together. I then put out a variety of fresh fruit and we dip and munch til our hearts (and tummies) content.

  49. I went to the Knudsen Juices website and checked out their recipes. I can't wait to try many of their smoothie recipes as my kids love smoothies and I think it is a great way to get a serving or more of fruit.

  50. I am looking forward to trying the Santa Cruz juice boxes. I think I will stop by the store today and pick some up. I think this will be a great alternative on-the-go drink to our usual soda from the drive-thru. The fact that they are organic is an added bonus.

  54. Tough choice. I like the Black Forest Cherry smoothie (but I'd use organic chocolate milk instead of soymilk). Orange Mango Chicken looks yummy, too. Thanks for this giveaway!

  55. Over at Santa Cruz Organics, their Raspberry Lemonade soda looks good. Peanut butter, too (love all things peanut butter!). Thanks again!

  58. My fave snack idea depends on the day, our moods, and what kind of pick-me-up we need. Mainly, a piece of fruit and a sweet & salty nut bar (Nature Valley) works well. Sometimes I throw in some m&m;'s or a few Dove chocolates for a boost (definitely for me!).
