Eat the Rainbow with Danimals!

February 16, 2018

I have partnered with Dannon Danimals to discuss Danimals Yo-Tubes and Danimals Squeezables. I have been compensated for my time. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

Talk to a group of parents and I think most would agree packing school lunches is the worst. We want nutritious foods that will fuel our kids for the rest of their school day, but we also want something our kids will eat.

Enter Danimals Kids’ Yogurt and Smoothies! Yummy flavors, no artificial colors or flavors, no high fructose corn syrup and a good source of calcium and vitamin D - here’s a lunchbox staple both parents and kids can agree on!

My Mac Kid recently tried both the new Yo-Tubes and the Smoothies and was an immediate fan of both! The Yo-Tubes are great for lunchboxes or on the go snacks as they are in portable tubes. We like to freeze them so that they keep everything in his lunchbox cold and by lunchtime, they’ve thawed out enough to be a nice, cool treat!

I was challenged to put together a fun, nutritious lunchbox using Danimals products and the pic at the top was my son’s favorite. I wanted to make sure he had plenty of nutritious stuff, but that his lunch also contained yummy things he liked and would eat. We all know colorful fruits and veggies are good for us, so I made him a ROY G BIV themed lunch - red, orange, yellow & green were covered with the bell peppers; the grapes and blueberries covered the blue, indigo, violet part and I added some cheese to add some calcium. Throw in a Danimals Yo-Tube and he’s good to go for lunch! I love that he got a lunch with calcium, vitamin D. He loves that he got a lunch that was delish!

Both the Yo-Tubes and Smoothies come in lots of fun flavors - Cotton Candy, Swingin’ Strawberry Banana, Rockin’ Raspberry and Orange Cream to name a few. They have become staples in our fridge and my Mac Kid loves picking out different flavors each time we go to the grocery store. In Chicago, Danimals Kids’ Yogurt and Smoothies can be found at both Jewel-Osco and Mariano’s.
