School Snacks Libby Jumbo Fruit Cups
That's right! These Libby’s Jumbo Cups™ are growing right along with the Tigers. They are a great source of their "5 a Day!" Believe me as a Homeschool Mama, any time we can have a quick, healthy snack and the children can open it themselves, that makes for Awesomeness! We love these easy to eat and open Fruit Cups by Libby! You will too.
In stores beginning September, Libby’s Jumbo Cups™ are packaged in 3-pack sleeves and available in four delicious varieties: Diced Peaches, Diced Pears, Mixed Fruit and Cherry Mixed Fruit, at an approximate retail price of $3.39.
Fun Facts: Pear trees can grow to 60 feet and may be as old as 300 years
The pineapple is one of the world’s favorite tropical fruits
Pears are part of the rose family
Our favorite fact is that it's another simple way for our children to get another fruit in their day. And it's one they L.O.V.E! Can I just say, these didn't last long at our house. Come September, Libby look out. We're stocking up.

Looks yummy! I am always on the hunt for a healthy snack for the boys that is also fast! These could go to school for lunches so easily. Thanks for the heads up!

We've been doing this for the last 2 years and it works for us!
Good to know! I don't always remember to check the latest, but my oldest is starting kindergarten, so lunch at school this year - I have to figure out how to send a healthy lunch 5 days a week! I have to say that fruit cups will probably be on the menu a lot, since he loves fruit!
I love the facts on their site - and finally I can answer my son's question about where the name pineapple came from! Well, sort of - I still don't know why the apple part...
I liked reading the section "What Moms Are Saying" and reading other opinions. Now, if someone didn't have a good opinion, would Libby publish it? No. But the comments were good and one mom said that the fruit is from California. I didn't go fact-finding on this mission, so I don't know that for fact. For now, I'll take her word. I am all for keeping our food in the US (for what we eat. I don't mind sharing with other countries, but I want our food from here!) So the comments were my favorite part. I'd love to have these snacks on hand for breaks in between subjects or taking on field trips!
I always try to have extra snacks on hand in my classroom just in case someone happens to forget theirs. These would be perfect!
