Musselman’s Apple Sauce Review: Yummy!

A constant struggle I have with my boys, is breakfast. I am competing with Playhouse Disney and Mickey seems to always win. The only breakfast food I can get them to eat without complain is apple sauce. What I love about apple sauce is that it is easy to eat, healthy, and they eat it so quickly that the mess is minimal. Recently I was given the opportunity to check out new Musselman’s Totally Fruit for kids and Healthy Picks for adults, and all I can say is wow! Not only are my boys completely in love with these new fun apple sauce flavors, but my husband and I have become healthy snackers.

Musselman’s Totally Fruit comes in three flavors – Apple, Peach, and Strawberry – and offers the sweet taste kids love without any high fructose corn syrup. The apple sauce is actually sweetened with real fruit juice and other all-natural ingredients. To make life even easier, the apple sauce comes in single serve cups, which count as a serving of fruit. So I can give Aidan his own snack size apple sauce container and know that he is eating something healthy. I have also tossed these in my diaper bag to snack on if we are going to the park for awhile.

So now onto my favorite: Musselman’s Healthy Picks apple sauce. Specially designed for women with active, healthy lifestyles, it comes in three delicious flavors: Raspberry Acai, Blueberry Pomegranate and Key Lime Cupuacu. Better yet is the apple sauce is a good source of fiber, calcium, vitamin C and antioxidants. There is also no sugar added, artificial colors, or flavoring. So now I can snack on something healthy and be a good role model instead of not eating or snacking on junk food! It is also comforting to know that Musselman’s has been grower owned since 1949, meaning that the growers who nurture and harvest the apples also own part of the company.

Still not sure about apples? Here are some Apple facts:

• Apple sauce naturally has no fat or cholesterol and is low in sodium.

• Since Musselman’s comes in different flavors, you have more to choose from.

• Every 4 oz. Musselman’s single serve cup is equal to one daily fruit serving.

• Boron, which is found in apples, helps harden bones, which may reduce the onset of osteoporosis

• Apples contain complex carbohydrates, which give you energy faster than eating something high in sugar.

• Apples contain pectin, which is a water-soluble fiber found to reduce levels of cholesterol by removing it from the bloodstream.

Musselman’s also has a whole site dedicated to Sesame Street and apple sauce. One of their flavors is even Elmo Cherry. You can also check out kids activities, coloring pages and more there!
