This year I made a commitment to my daughter (and myself) that I would pack her lunch every day. Last year, this was not the case and she ended up buying lunch more times than I care to admit. Not only is this expensive, but unhealthy, as our school lunches consist of chicken nuggets and pizza … every single day.
Santa Cruz is one of our favorite brands of organic peanut butter. Nothing goes better with peanut butter than jelly, and now, Santa Cruz has a new line of Organic Fruit Spreads that make the perfect PB&J sandwich.
The new flavors are Strawberry, Apricot, Seedless Red Raspberry and Blackberry Pomegranate. Fruit is the #1 ingredient (as it should be) in each of the spreads. We found them to have a silky smooth consistency which spreads easily over peanut butter— I hate clumpy jelly!
There are also 2 new flavors of Santa Cruz Organic Fruit Sauces: Apple Peach and Apple Tropical. We were already fans of Santa Cruz Apple Sauce, so the new Organic Fruit Sauces were a nice change of pace for my daughter’s lunch. The apple tropical is my personal favorite. I think it’s a great flavor, and a makes a great treat for adults, too.
All of Santa Cruz Organic’s products are certified organic, do not contain high fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients or preservatives and are manufactured entirely with renewable energy from a variety of sources, including on-site solar energy and renewable energy certificate purchases.
These are products you can feel good about giving to your family.
What’s in my daughter’s lunch box this year?
- PB&J with Santa Cruz Organic Dark Roasted Creamy Peanut Butter & Strawberry Fruit Spread
- Santa Cruz Organic Tropical Fruit Sauce
- Sliced grapes
- Yogurt
- Organic fruit juice
So much better than school cafeteria lunches!
