When it comes to finding dairy-free yogurts, a lot of brands leave us wanting something better–until now. The Creative Kitchen recently discovered AYO Brand almond yogurt and we couldn’t be more excited! This strawberry almond yogurt gives the perfect blend of subtle toasted almond sweetness, a slight tanginess, and that creamy texture often lacking with other dairy-free options. AYO almond yogurt is so good, it will definitely pass the taste test of your little yogurt connoisseur.

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

I could eat this yogurt every day!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

It’s so hard to find a yogurt that is dairy-free and tastes good. AYO yogurt doesn’t sacrifice taste just because it’s made from a dairy alternative. In fact, the light toasted almond flavor adds to goodness. Also, AYO almond strawberry yogurt has less sugar compared to other options out there which is always a bonus!

 

Flavorful Features:

AYO almond yogurts come in four delicious flavor options:

  • Strawberry
  • Blueberry
  • Peach
  • Vanilla

 

The Icing on the Cake:

AYO almond yogurts are not only dairy-free, but also vegan and gluten-free. You can feel great about your choice with AYO brand yogurts because they are the first almond yogurt to have almonds sourced from their organic family farm. Plus, this yogurt has the added benefit of fiber from the almonds!

 

Time to Eat?!

Anytime! Eat this AYO almond yogurt with breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, or dessert!

 

Mix it Up!

Make a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie with AYO almond yogurt. Combine fresh strawberries, one half of a frozen banana, and one container of AYO strawberry almond yogurt in your favorite blender for a sweet treat any time of the day!

Parent-Picked-Kid-Approved-logoHere at The Creative Kitchen, we’re all about real food that’s really yummy! Especially when it comes to snacks for our little ones. It can be hard to find that perfect balance of great ingredients AND great taste, but lucky for you, we’ve found just that in a new product from Don’t Go Nuts. Their Mini Chewy Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry Granola Bars pack in a lot of flavor into a mini bar – using real ingredients – that’s perfectly sized for little chefs. We love that Don’t Go Nuts’ products are peanut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, certified non-GMO and USDA organic! The Mini Chewy Granola Bars are made with organic oats and organic brown rice crisps, as well as small pieces of organic fruit, giving them a soft, chewy texture that the whole family will love!

We were thrilled to have Don’t Go Nuts as a Goody Bag Sponsor for our Kids Food Festival online Halloween kitchen crafts and cooking class on October 31st!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

This tastes like a cookie!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

I love when I find school-safe snacks that my kids actually enjoy! Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars are peanut-free, tree nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, so I feel safe sending them to school with my kids. The amount of flavor in these tiny bars is just amazing! The combination of dried apples and cinnamon is soooo good, and the flavor from the strawberries are just so bright and fresh. I love that their ingredients are organic and non-GMO, and the small (yet still hearty!) size makes these a perfect addition to lunchtime, or a quick, late afternoon snack to hold you over until dinner. 

 

Flavorful Features:

We love the Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry flavors, but Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars also come in Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip – yum!

 

The Icing on the Cake:

The high-quality ingredients used in these granola bars speak for themselves (once you give them a taste, you’ll see!). We also love that they’re school-safe, free of many of the top allergens: tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, and dairy.

 

Time to Eat?!

Don’t Go Nuts’ Mini Chewy Granola Bars’ small size makes them a perfect addition to lunchtime for little chefs, or a mid-morning snack for any parents that need something to hold them over until lunch time.

 

Good to Go?

These granola bars are individually wrapped, and the Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry flavors come together in a multi-pack, so whether you want to add a single one to a lunchbox, or keep a whole box in the car, you’re all set!

 

Mix it Up!

Take a Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bar, stick a food-safe treat stick in the middle, dip it in your favorite yogurt, and freeze for a yummy “popsicle” treat!

It can be tricky to find snacks that are easy to throw in a lunchbox or backpack at the last minute that will not only keep your kids happy, but deliver some delicious nutrition at the same time. Thankfully, there’s brands like Crispy Green that know how to do both! Their freeze-dried Tangerine Slices are the perfect grab-and-go snack that will satisfy those of any age with a sweet tooth or those who, deep down, really just want some chips. This portable fruit makes it so easy to have a healthful snack when you’re on the go. And, tangerine is perfect for orange Halloween! We love their minimal ingredients and perfect portion sizes, as well as Crispy Green’s passion for inspiring others to live healthy, happy lives through eating high-quality, natural, and delicious food! 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It’s so crazy that this fruit is crunchy! I love it! 

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Who would have thought my kids would be begging me daily for fruit? They just love Crispy Green’s Tangerine Slices, and so do I! Since each bag is individually portioned, they’re perfect to add to their lunchboxes, or backpacks for an after-school snack. They have a 36-month shelf life so I keep a bunch in our car and pantry for emergencies when the kids get “hangry.” I especially love that there’s no added sugar, because each of my kids have a massive sweet tooth. And, it has nearly all of the nutritional value of fresh fruit kept intact. Finally, a snack I can feel great about giving to them!

 

Flavorful Features:

Here are the other freeze-dried fruits you can get from Crispy Green:

  • Apple
  • Strawberry
  • Banana
  • Mango
  • Pear
  • Pineapple
  • Cantaloupe

 

The Icing on the Cake:

Crispy Green Tangerine Slices are non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher, vegan, peanut-free and tree nut-free. Each serving provides 95% of the nutritional value of fresh fruit!

 

Time to Eat?!

We love this as an after-school or after-work snack for a yummy boost of nutrition to hold us over until dinnertime, but they’re great as an addition to lunchtime, or even after dinner if you don’t want a dessert that’s full of sugar or artificial ingredients.

 

Good to Go?

These individually-packaged snacks are perfectly portioned! Not too much, not too little! Add them to lunchboxes, backpacks, or your purse for whenever you want a yummy treat.

 

Mix it Up!

Add some Crispy Green Tangerine Slices to your favorite high-fiber cereal for some extra sweetness and texture!

These are the perfect snack to pack in my kids’ backpacks and lunchboxes for school. They are free from most allergens, and have a whole serving of vegetables, which is sometimes hard to get my kids to eat regularly! My kids love the fun size, perfect for little hands, and the banana flavor…not to mention the hint of chocolate. I love that there’s only 5 grams of sugar per serving! Theses granola bites are super convenient for on-the-go snacking; our whole family loves them!
