Pirate's Booty ~ Making lunch time snacks healthy!

I was so excited when Pirate's Booty emailed me about trying their product!!!!  I prepare lunch for two of my children and finding healthy snacks they love is a challenge.  A challenge because both schools they attend have strict lunch rules, no peanut products or sugar. 


The All Natural Snacks were a huge hit!!!!!!  These baked rice & corn snacks will put any potato chip or bright orange cheese puff to shame! 

Even Baby M loves them!!



From Pirate's Booty:

Consequently, it’s more important than ever to be thoughtful about smart
snacking, especially when it comes to school lunches and afternoon treats.  Here
are a few tips on selecting snacks wisely:

 *   Show by Example.  Your little ones look up to you, so choose healthy snacks
and cultivate good eating habits, as they’ll be watching and learning.

 *   Know Your Arithmetic.  Be careful with portion size – it adds up!  If you
can’t find smaller portions of your kid’s favorite snacks, make your own.
Sandwich baggies are great for making grab-and-go, kid-size snacks – and they’re
reusable, too.

 *   Do Your Homework.  Become a savvy nutrition label reader.  Choose
store-bought snacks that boast a short and simple list of ingredients that you
can recognize without having to use Google!

 *   Sweets Don’t Make the Grade.  Avoid sugary snacks and cakes and your child
will surely avoid the inevitable energy crash and lack of focus that comes with
it.

 *   Fun Beyond Recess.  Make healthy eating fun!  Engage your kids by letting
them pick out their own healthy snacks in the grocery store.

*   Taste Not, Want Not.  Last, but certainly not least – make sure the snacks
are not only good for you, but are tasty or they’ll go to waste!  As you know,
kids have a picky pallet, so a delicious, fun snack will surely get an “A!”

Pirate’s Booty makes the grade!  Pirate’s Booty is a deliciously baked,
all-natural snack that mom can feel good about adding to the lunchbox.  Pirate’s
Booty is made from puffed rice and corn and is gluten, trans-fat and tree nut
free.  Plus, the snack is only 130 calories for a one ounce bag.  Also, with
Pirate’s Booty, you get more puff per portion – a one ounce serving of Pirate’s
Booty has more pieces than a one ounce serving of most competitive snacks, so
your little one won’t feel short snacked!

Pirate’s Booty is available in a variety of flavors, so there’s something for
everyone!  Pirate’s Booty flavors include Aged White Cheddar, Veggie, Sour Cream
& Onion, New York Pizza, Barbeque and Sea Salt & Vinegar.

Look out for Pirate’s Booty one ounce/lunchbox friendly size bags in the natural
aisle at your local supermarket.  For added convenience, Pirate’s Booty is also
available in six – one ounce bag multipacks!

We are an organic family anyway so we know about eating healthy!  I'm just glad we were able to try Pirate's Booty and make lunch more fun!!!

A Tip From Supermom:

Since we have a little one that just started Kindergarten I try to sneak in little hints that I am thinking about her when she is in school.  Here's a great way to do that.


Yes, I take time to cut her bread into a heart shape every day!!! She loves it and it makes lunch extra special for her.

**Pirate's Booty sent this amazing treasure chest full of tasty All Natural Rice & Corn Puffs for free so that my family could review them.  The opinions expressed belong entirely to me, Michelle Lee.  Thank you for this awesome opportunity to try this amazing healthy snack.**
