So one day I was at the grocery store.
I’m at the grocery store everyday, it seems.
Sometimes twice.
Anywho, when I was in the freezer section I grabbed 3 DOLE Smoothie Shakers and put them in my basket.
Speaking of DOLE, I am being compensated by DOLE and am proud to be part of the Mom It Forward Blogger Network. The following story is based on my own experience with DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies. All opinion and claims of enjoyment are authentically mine.
I could hardly unpack my groceries and put my frozen finds into my freezer. My girls saw the DOLE Smoothie Shakers on the counter and they were all, “CAN WE HAVE ONE?!!!”
I put them in the freezer.
An hour later, their curiosity got the best of us and we reached into the freezer for the much anticipated smoothies.
The directions and process were as easy as they read… pour in your favorite juice and shake! The hardest part was choosing which kind of juice to add…. “Apple. No orange. No… aaaaappp… No ORANGE! NO… APPLE!”
You know what’s missing in this smoothie process?
THE BLENDER.
THE MESS.
THE TIME.
The biggest bonus? THE SHAKING. Lucy loved the shaking…
Everything’s a fun time with that little girl.
So clearly, the process is fun for the kids. Also, the process is just the ticket for a busy mom like me… but how do they taste?
All 3 of my kids loved their DOLE Smoothie Shaker. There are 3 delicious flavors to choose from: Blueberry Banana with Red Beet (Blue Power), Strawberry Raspberry with Red Beet and Purple Carrot (Red Power), and Pineapple Mango with Sweet Potato and Carrots (Yellow Power).
- • New DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies are made with all natural fruit, veggies, real Greek yogurt and are nutritionally fortified with an extra boost of protein. The best part? Tastes like fruit!
- • When prepared with juice each DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shaker POWER Smoothie is less than 200 calories, low in fat and trans fat-free.
When I asked the kids if these were something they’d like me to buy again, my middle daughter was quick with a plan, “When we have camp next week, you can just put a bunch in the freezer… and when we wake up we can make our smoothies and you can sleep in! We can make these smoothies ourselves!”
I WIN!
Anything that allows me to sneak in more nutrition AND more sleep is pretty much a double rainbow as far as I’m concerned!
