Recently, the boys started daycare. This means that I’m getting into lunch-packing mode. Usually, I try to pack a small, healthy snack for the boys to take. I want something that is easy to prepare, yet good for them at the same time.
These Gerber Lil’ Beanies™ turned out to be perfect for the job! The kids love the taste of the White Cheddar and Broccoli as well as the Original flavor. They are very similar to other snack curls out there on the market, but these are actually healthy! In fact, when I opened one of the cans the boys sat and ate a bowl of them each. My older son kept calling these snack curls “Super Beans!” and honestly, they couldn’t get enough! What is great is that, as a mom, I can feel good about giving them the Lil’ Beanies™ as a snack.
In addition to giving them to the boys straight out of the can, the Gerber Lil’ Beanies are perfect for making into snack mixes or trail mixes. Just add in some dry cereal, nuts, and raisins and you are good to go!
You probably know Gerber as a trusted source of baby food, but did you know that they also make food and snacks for toddlers as well? These Lil’ Beanies are a perfect snack for your toddlers as they have 2 grams of protein (9% Daily Value) and 1 gram of fiber per serving. These snack curls are made from navy beans and non-genetically engineered ingredients and has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
I just headed over to my local Walmart and was able to find both varieties of the Lil’ Beanies™ in the baby food isle. With so many choices out there, these were definitely the winners when it came to snack foods for my boys. Whether it is packing snacks for them to take to daycare or as an afternoon snack at home, these Gerber Lil’ Beanies™ are perfect!
