Fuel Kids’ Body and Mind for Springtime
In my home there are many times when snacks and great toys are in use. That’s why I am always looking for great tasting healthy snacks. Here is a snack that I haven’t shared about with you yet. This great tasting snack is Sneakz organic milkshakes. I also want to talk to you about two toys from Magformers. This is a brand that we absolutely love! Their toys are both fun and educational. My boys never tire of them since there are so many things they can make with them.
With warmer weather coming, it’s time to stock up on nutritious snacks and toys so fun that kids won’t even realize they’re learning while they play! Don’t just serve juice and have kids on their iPad after school. Whether it be a rainy day indoors or an active day under the sun, the following snacks and toys are guaranteed to keep kids nourished, hydrated and educated:
Sneakz Organic Milkshakes
Sneakz Organic was super generous and send us not only one pack or flavor, but 3 packs! The flavors were Strawberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate! Each package contains 4 8-oz. boxes of organic blended milk and veggies, and a straw. The first flavor we tried was of course Chocolate. We each tried one and drank half of it at room temperature then later had the other half which we had refrigerated. We did it like this so we could try it both ways. It was unanimous that cold tasted better. There was a bit of a metallic taste when it was at room temperature. I think it’s because of the iron in the shakes. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a horrible taste. It just happened to taste better cold. Chocolate was Aaron’s favorite of the three.
Next up was Strawberry, this was Matt’s and Diego’s favorite flavor. It was silky and delicious! My ultimate favorite flavor was the Vanilla. I want to send a huge thank you to Sneakz Organic for contacting us and allowing me to test these products out with my boys. It was not only fun, I was thrilled that we found out about a great product that is new to us. I suggest all moms who like me have fussy or picky eaters give these products a try.
Sneakz Organic Milkshakes are protein-packed shakes that feature a half-serving of veggies in each pouch! Designed for kids, Sneakz takes vegetables from “yuck” to “yum” with its proprietary mix of organic, nutrient-rich veggies. Completely natural and organic, as well as gluten and GMO free, parents can feel comfortable giving their children a refreshing Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla shake that is deliciously infused with healthy and nutritious ingredients. Available at Amazon and the Sneakz Organic website.

What are your go-to’s for springtime?
Absolutely in love with the concept of those Magformers. I never really realized how much actually goes into creating these toys to stimulate children, but what you wrote helps a lot in understanding it. I didn’t know how much the actual material/colors made a difference.
These are great toys for kids, I love STEM toys! I really want to get my kids some Magformers, they sound like the perfect building kits. 🙂
that aardvark is about the cutest thing i have ever seen. i want this for ME, and i guess i will share with my kid…
I love educational toys for my grandchildren. We love taking every opportunity we can that help them grow in their learning. These sound great. Thank you so much for sharing
