    Take the Bagel Bites “Snack Simply” Pledge (& Giveaway – 4 Winners Ends 8/8)

    By 323 Comments

    ABOUT:

    This summer Bagel Bites is encouraging families to pledge to “Snack Simply” and help others do the same!  For every pledge taken at www.snacksimplypledge.com , Bagel Bites will donate $1 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America and send you a $1 off coupon towards a Bagel Bites Snack, transforming snack-time into a great way to help kids in need.  The goal is 50,000 pledges, which means Bagel Bites could donate up to $50,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America!

    The Bagel Bites Snack Simply Pledge asks parents to adhere to three guiding principles for snacking this summer, which include:

    • Keep it Simple– Choose simple, easy-to-prepare snacks with wholesome ingredients.
    • Keep it Tasty – Serve snacks kids will love to encourage lots of smiles around the table.
    • Keep it Fun – Take the time to connect with your child and incorporate some simple, family-friendly activities during the daily snack-time routine.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Even though my boys are only 3 and 4, I am already realizing how touch summer vacation is.  My 4 year old who is normally in school from 9-12 PM is now home all day, along with my 3 year old – both active and growing boys!  Schedules go out the window for us and we basically “wing it” everyday.

    Snacktime is something that I constantly struggle with since one of my sons is very picky and the other just wants to snack all day long.  My challenge is always to find snacks they both like that I can quickly prepare for them, especially before the whinning of “I’m hungry starts.”

    While you may not think about Bagel Bites as being a wholesome snack choice, they are actually made with real ingrediatns like whole grain bagels, tomato sauce and real mozzarella cheese.  They even offer eight grams of whole grain per serving.

    My boys absolutely love Bagel Bites, I mean who doesn’t love mini-pizzas!  Its great too because it is a snack I can eat with them and not feel guilty about.  It is also a snack I can simply prepare in a matter of minutes.  I also love the convenience of them as they are ready to be heated, as I am by no means creative in the kitchen nor do I have time to think about snacktime.   I always have a box at hand too for unexpected guests (or playdates) that we have.  The “Snack Simply” Pledge is a great way too to not only think about wholesome goodness at snacktime but also raise some money for charity (not to mention to save a $1 yourself!)

    BUY IT:  Bagel Bites snacks are available at major grocery and chain retailers nationwide in the frozen food section.  For more information about Bagel Bites, visit www.bagelbites.com.

    WIN IT:  (4) US winners will each receive a coupon for a free Bagel Bites product (Coupon expires 5/31/2012)

      Well I have a gaggle of kids so I try to keep a variety of snacks on hand. Just simple stuff that they can grab and go or I will cut up a bunch of fruit and make sure its right at the front of the fridge so they see it right when they open the fridge and it usually works because all day long I will hear “mom can I have some of this?”

      I put out a snack tray of sausage, veggies, fruit and crackers, and the kids just eat it right up!

      We snack on fruit at our house. It’s nice because it doesn’t require much preparation.

      I make snacktime and lunchtime fun in the summer by cutting up fruits and veggies in little shapes using mini cookie cutters, and use cookie cutters to make sandwiches in fun shapes too! I also like to switch it up by serving items like Tyson AnyTizers and Bagel Bites!

      TO keep lunchtime fun, I like to go to the local library and check out new recipe books then try out the new recipes!

      My fridge has a drawer that is designated as the snack drawer, and contains yogurt, jello, fruit cups and fresh veggies. When the kids want a snack they know to go there for one.

      Doing muffin tin snacks is always fun, that way the kids have a variety of little snacks to choose from.

      I keep it fun and simple by having lots of fruit and veggies on hand with dip, peanut butter and we create ants on a log and other things.

      I make snack time simple and fun by making snack time all the time. We don’t have regular meal times in the summer, so it’s snack time all day long!

      We eat lots of veggie or fruits and dips or peanut butter. I would serve Bagel Bites with a side of carrot/celery strips or fruit for lunch for the little ones.

      Everyone pretty much snacks on whatever they want. We homeschool, so our children are home all the time anyway; and I don’t mind making things for them.

      Fun and simple = Light and healthy! Fresh fruit and veggies, a bowl of cottage cheese, a smoothie…I’m making myself hungry! LOL

      I have a special spot in the fridge that I put approved snacks for my daughter that she knows she can grab whenever she’s hungry – carrots, cheese sticks, small yogurts.

      I keep snacktime fun and simple by letting my kids each pick their favorite snacktime treat to eliminate fighting between them.

      keeping it simple, by keeping carrots, celery and apple slices available. for a quick treat, we blend vanilla yogurt with sliced berries and ice for a quick smoothie. our favorite if vanilla yogurt in with fruit blended and frozen in small dixie cups with a Popsicle stick for a quick snack.
