natural and organic meats from applegate :: review + giveaway

disclaimer giveaway
barn-ag-logoWhat would you do if you didn’t have to pack your child’s lunch?

This is where Applegate steps up to the plate. Since your kids are back to school, let’s take that lunch-packing dread off your hands, and give you a chance to sit back and relax.
Untitled
Applegate has the best organic and natural meats around.  They teamed up with Stonyfield and Annie’s to create the first pre-packed lunch kit with natural and organic ingredients. Do away with the yucky lunchables and replace with HALF TIME™ from Applegate.

For ultimate kid happiness, food must be fun. I care about quality, too. You can feel good about sending off your little one with a convenient, kid-approved, tasty, and wholesome ready-to-go lunch from Applegate. You ask what’s inside? Unquestionably good stuff: Applegate Natural Meat (juicy, antibiotic-free), classic Applegate American cheese, Annie’s Buttery Rich Crackers™, Annie’s Organic Berry Patch Fruit Snacks™ and Stonyfield® YoKids® Squeezers® Strawberry Organic Lowfat Yogurt. That’s a big-time lunch win.  For mom & dad: meat raised without antibiotics, rBGH-free cheese, and organic snacks and dairy. Score!
Untitled
What child would not love this awesome meal.  I know their friend would be jealous.  We were sent a whole kit full of fun things, so we could share these great meals with you.

A recent survey found that 88% of parents thought pre-packed lunch kits were convenient, but 79% of those parents were concerned about the nitrates, preservatives and artificial ingredients in those kits. Now you don’t have to compromise between convenience and quality. Your kids get the “cool” appeal and you can lose the guilt.

My kids absolutely loved these HALF TIME meals. They were the perfect size for their tiny or large appetites.  Plus, none of it came home in my son’s lunch box.  It was gone!! Mom wins!
