Back-to-School with Frito-Lay's Naturally Delicious Mix Multi-Pack Chips (Review and Giveaway)

Closed.  And, the winner is:  Donna

With the kids back in school, now moms are trying to find just the right snacks to pack along with their lunches.  To help ease their frustrations, Frito Lay is now offering  Naturally Delicious Mix multi-pack sack of chips, which includes your favorite Frito-Lay snacks made with all natural ingredients.  The Naturally Delicious Mix multi-pack contains 22 single-serve bags of snacks, including Lay's Classic and Sour Cream and Onion potato chips, Rold Gold Tiny Twists pretzels, and SunChips Garden Salsa and Harvest Cheddar multigrain snacks – giving both moms and kids multiple delicious options!  These products are made without any artificial or synthetic ingredients, artificial flavors or artificial preservatives, and contain no monosodium glutamate (MSG).  The 1-oz bags will help you manage portion control, even on the go, and fit nicely into any lunch container.   

How great is this?  Now you have one less thing to worry about when packing your child's lunch box.  And, with the assortment of single-serve bags, they will not get bored of the same old snack day after day.

I had the opportunity to try out each flavor that is included in the Naturally Delicious Mix multi-pack sack of chips and have to say that I can't live without my Lays original chips and the Rold Gold Tiny Twists pretzels.  In addition to the multi-pack sack, Frito Lay kindly sent me Eco-friendly reusable snack wraps for lunch packs and an an insulated lunch tote.  I have been sending my husband off to work with the reusable snack wraps, and tried out the insulated lunch tote this past weekend when we took Savannah to the zoo.  I just loved the insulated tote.  It really kept the snacks and her formula cold.  Just look at some of the features of this chic insulated lunch tote from Calista:

As for the Eco-friendly reusable snack wraps, my husband says that they are amazing.  He loves not having to throw away wrappers and bags, and they are easy to fold up.   These snack wraps will help you teach your child about reusing and helping to save the planet.  How great is that?  Not only will their snacks and sandwiches be wrapped neatly and in cool wraps, but they will be doing their part in helping to save the environment.  At 13.5" round, these Eco-friendly snack wraps from kids konserve are great for storing sandwiches, bagels & cream cheese, tortilla roll-ups, meat & cheese slices, apple slices or whatever you want to wrap up and take along.

Check out these snack ideas for some new, healthier afternoon snacks:

Give some love to Whole Grains!

We all know whole grains are important, but how do you convince kids to eat them when they prefer white bread and pasta? It’s easy: Add them to their snacks! Frito-Lay offers great options for snacks containing whole grains your kids are sure to enjoy.

·         SunChips multigrain snacks pack a punch with 18 grams of whole grains per serving. Portion out a serving into a reusable container for your kids’ lunch boxes or throw them into a 1-oz bag for easy on-the-go snacking!

Keep it Colorful

Fruit is always a go-to snack, but it’s not always the first choice for kids. Make snacks fun by mixing and matching colorful fruits and vegetables.

·         Pack fruits and vegetables that represent your kids’ favorite sports teams colors, like plums and bananas for the Yankee fan, green grapes and cantaloupe for Packers’ fans.

·         Create a rainbow mix dip with red cherry tomatoes, orange carrots, yellow pineapple, green celery, blue blueberries, indigo grapes and purple plums. Cut each fruit and veggie into bite-size pieces, and serve the dip alongside SunChips to pair whole grains with other vitamins and nutrition!

Stay Hydrated

With school starting during the hottest time of the year, it’s essential that kids stay hydrated. Dips paired with fruits and vegetables, which have high water content, are a delicious and easy way to boost hydration and nutrition (watermelon is 92% water!*).  

·         Make fruit even more appealing by serving it on top of non-fat Greek yogurt. Not only will your kids love dipping, they’ll be getting calcium and protein in the snack as well.

·         For chips, take the nutrient factor up a notch with healthier dipping choices such as Sabra hummus and homemade salsa.

·         Try one of our delicious fruit dips like Cold Melon Salsa or Mango Salsa Chutney, and encourage your family to help create its own fruit-based dip!
