First of all, I want to give a huge shout out “thank you” to Santa Cruz Organics for sending my kids and I applesauce, peanut butters and fruit spreads to try just in the week before school starts!

Next, I’d like to preface this post with the thought that at our school, all the elementary aged children are expected to make their own lunch. At age 6, they have been asked to make a list, go shopping, as well as do the actual making of the lunch. For me, this can become complicated as the requests come in from my kid that he wants a cheeseburger for lunch, ha ha ha!! Yes, he gets cheeseburgers in this fit family- just not very regularly! Anyway, he’s given me a list, that looks like this…

I hope you can read this!! Pickles, Chocolate Milk, Oranges, Carrots,and Meat (eggs)! We’ve since started working on making lunches daily (we are on day 2) and although it doesn’t completely look like his list, he does get a fruit, a vegetable, a drink and a main dish that he picks out daily.

Here’s where Santa Cruz Organics comes in. Or went out, so to speak! We received two boxes of applesauce last week. And, I would have saved them for their lunches except that my children loved them so much that they each ate 2 a day until they were gone!! As well as the peanut butters!

As a mother of two boys, I buy organic when it’s affordable and I’d definitely repurchase any product of Santa Cruz’s Organics because my children loved them so much!

For more info and photos on kids’ lunches, please read this post on Read Breathe today.

P.S. For purposes of the review, Santa Cruz Organics provided us with samples and we loved them. This is obviously my opinion and nobody is paying me to write this.
