as a stay at home mom (MOPS mom), i try to fill out schedule with a few play date outings a month. this is basically for both of our sanity levels. plus it gives me a reason to put myself together in the mornings rather than frumping my life away in leggings (holla!), sports bras & messy buns for the sake of being comfortable. all you other moms with me?
but part of this too, is because then i can sit with the other moms, drinking our caffienated mom drinks, talking about mom crap & watching our children act like somewhat civilized members of society. but dont let that fool you, because once those hunger pains hit, so do the Jekyll & Hyde switches and those once, so cute, precious, two legged lovebugs become vicious monsters who follow absolutely no instructions are completely inconsolable until they get something in their stomaches. which is why i do my absolute best to make sure my bag is packed full of snacks before heading out the door.
walmart makes it terribly easy to make sure we are always fully stocked on snacks, whether we are on the go or staying in for the day to complete mama's never ending to-do lists. and lucky for us, our local walmart is just a hop & skip from our driveaway.
once i heard about lil' beanies by Gerber, I knew I had to give them a try. Benjamin exclaimed that they looked like chips, and started munching as soon as we could get them opened. they come in two delicious flavors, original & white cheddar & broccoli.
and while benjamin was excited about them looking like chips, i was not feeling an ounce of mom guilt about him eating these. not only do lil' beanies taste good, they are good for you as well. made from actual beans (navy beans to be exact), they provide 2 grams of protein & 1 gram of fiber per serving. they also provide 10% daily value of vitamin e per serving, are non-gmo (!!!) and contain no artificial flavors, colors or preservatves. plus no messy fingers in the end; can i get an amen?
next time you're at your local walmart, be sure to head down the toddler snacking aisle, and throw a couple of gerber's lil' beanies in your cart for your next playdate, field trip or general snacking session. also be sure to take advantage of their savings offer that you can find on ibotta!
