Buddy Fruits Thomas & Friends Sweepstakes + Flash Giveaway!

I am so blessed to be able to work from home, and be able to be home with my son, before he starts school. Another blessing of the work at home life, is having the ability to make my own schedule, so that I can volunteer my time, and so our family can be on the go when it's convenient for us. One of the not so great things about being on the go, however, is that we find ourselves out and about during meal times. We have definitely found ourselves falling victim to the fast food trap on many an occasion, but ever since we discovered a smarter way to enjoy healthy foods on the go, we're all much happier!

We're huge fans of Buddy Fruits, and if you've never heard about them or purchased their products for your children, I invite you to check out one of my previous Buddy Fruits reviews, to learn more about them. Buddy Fruits makes it possible for kids of all ages to enjoy healthy snacks or an addition to any meal, while on the go, or at home. Traveling with fresh fruits on hand for kids can be tricky... and pretty messy, but Buddy fruits uses 100% real fruit in their convienent to carry, easy to grab pouches of fruity goodness!

My three year-old son B, is a long-time fan of Buddy Fruits. Not long after he began eating solid foods, we discovered Buddy Fruits pouches in our local grocery store. After B was old enough to feed himself, we were excited to hand over Buddy Fruits pouches, and fruit bites! Even at this age, B loves his delicious Buddy Fruits products!

We were recently sent a fantastic package from Buddy fruits...

So many yummy-looking Buddy Fruits pouches to choose from...

...and a special Thomas movie surprise!

We were sent some delicious 100% fruit snacks to try out from Buddy Fruits. We hadn't previously tried the new Buddy Fruits Pure Fruit Jiggle Gel pouches, though we had seen them while shopping. B loves jiggly stuff, so I was excited to see what he would think about these yummy jiggle gel pouches. These sweet little jiggle gel pouches are available in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and raspberry!

All fruit- nothing else... handy little Jiggle Gel pouches from Buddy Fruits!

I handed over one of the strawberry flavored gel pouches to B, and he was hooked after just one slurp! The pouches are so handy. They don't need to be refrigerated, unless they've been opened. If unopened, they can be stored in the pantry or cabinet for several months! We're always sure to have Buddy Fruit pouches on hand, and I bring them along wherever we go... on day trips, long trips, vacations, etc. I even make sure that one or two are always in B's little backpack, so if we're out longer than expected, I can pass him a healthy snack that he's excited to eat!

New from Buddy Fruits... Buddy Fruits & Veggies!

We were also sent some new Buddy Fruits & Veggies to try, which blends yummy flavors together, like apple, sweet potato and blueberry! This is such a great idea! I don't have much trouble with getting B to eat fruits, but veggies are another story. When he was a little guy, he loved carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and even broccoli, but now, he won't go near any of those! When I handed over the Buddy Fruits & Veggies pouch, he ate it right up. I felt great knowing that my son was getting a healthy serving of fruits and vegetables, without even knowing it!

Plus, B got a special surprise in our Buddy Fruits package!
