Kroger Lunchbox Heroes

We definitely like to snack in our family with six. With 4 hungry children, 3 of them being boys, we definitely go through a lot of snacks. I like to find snacks that are inexpensive and convenient for them to grab for themselves; especially when we are on the go.
 
We had an opportunity to sample a few of these easy and affordable snacks from our  local Kroger store
.  
Kroger fruit snacks-  This was not our first time trying the Kroger brand of fruit snacks; so we weren't surprised . In my opinion these are not a high quality brand of fruit snacks. Although they are a little chewier and not as full of flavor as some name brand snacks; they are a great alternative if you are trying to save some money. I love the fact that they are a smaller package than most(less intake of sugar), but some might not feel the same way as I do.
 
Kroger peanut butter filled pretzels- I am not going to beat around the bush about these....they were disgusting. Everyone in my family felt they were too dry and crumbly and they tasted stale, and frankly were just plain...gross.  Definitely not a winner for our taste buds.
 
Kroger chewy granola bars - Another product we are familiar with and actually purchase quite often in this family. They are easy for us to take into the car, to appointments, soccer games etc. They are nice and chewy and chocolate chip is our family favorite. Can't go wrong with these.
 
Kroger double filled golden cookies- This product had a split opinion in my house. I think kids would eat any thing that has to do with the word cookie. So, you probably have guessed who didn't like it...yep....mom. If mom doesn't like it, it probably won't be bought again. These are a cheaper alternative to name brand cookies, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for, they were cheap tasting.
 
Kroger extreme fusion waters -  These were great. They were just the right size and definitely were a big hit with all 4 of my kids. Very comparable in taste to name brand drink pouches.

Silk Fruit and Creamy


We are SO a yogurt loving family...we have probably tried every yogurt out there whether it is by the carton, drinkable, frozen or in a tube...and we have probably tried every brand as well.
I and my kids loved this Silk fruit and creamy yogurt. It had a smooth silky texture with not too chunky amounts of fruit in it. I loved the fact that it was made from soy milk( this provided extra protein needed for my vegetarian daughter).We tried the blueberry, peach and berry flavor. My favorite was the blueberry but my daughter adored the peach.
So good and so delicious and would definitely purchase again.
