I keep bananas, apples, grapes and V8 V-Fusion so my kids can get refueled!
mscoffee77(AT)juno(DOT)com
I always have fruit available for snacking, and low sugar drinks.
That would be great for paying off the remainder of my son’s hearing aids.
For a quick recharge, we always grab an apple, grapes, or rice cakes!
My kids love to recharge w/ peanut butter sandwiches and a glass of milk.
I think we’d probably have to use a giftcard like this for a makeover for my girls’ bedroom! New sheets & bedspreads and girly stuff they love. =) What an AWESOME giveaway! We like to have string cheese, apple chunks or carrots and dip for snacks! Yogurt is another favorite of the girls’ at any moment in time!
I keep Propel water and the V8 Fusion drinks. We have lots of fruits and veggies for easy snacking with low fat cream cheese for dipping! We dry a lot of our fruits and eat lots of food from our garden. We go on walks every day (pending weather)as a family!!
I like to keep fruit and V8 Fusion on hand for my athletic daughter.
I am always on the lookout for something good for the kids after playing hard at their hockey games/practices. This sounds like somthing they’d really drink. And the fact they’re giving away a gift card is awesome… I could really use that!!!
I try to keep my family as healthy and active as even so for snack time for my girl’s we do apple’s and grape’s or gram crackers with a fruit spread or other with milk and or juice with my two older boy’s they make a sandwitch after school and some kind of fruit and it work’s great for us there’s alway’s lot of way to stay active and healthy do what work’s best for you and your family and have fun with it all you can do is your best (:

contact(at)inakidsworld(dot)com
I try to make fruit easily accessible so the kids will grab that before they’ll grab crackers or other things. And my kids love to munch on edamame. r.dukes@live.com
We recharge with peanut butter crackers and fruits and veggies. I would be interested in trying this though because we are constantly on the go. The gift card would come in handy as both my kids and their dad have birthdays within days of each other next month.
I have never heard of or tasted Shamrock Farms Rockin’ Refuel chocolate milk, but there is always a first time…
It sounds good…
Fruit and veggies work great for us to be recharged.
We use granola bars, cheerios and fresh fruit to recharge our little guys.
Veggies all the way!
my daughter loves a product called Buddy Fruits. Its blended fruit on the go!
fruits and veggies…theyre yumm and good for you!
Peanut butter. On bananas. On bread. On crackers. On apples.
Get the idea?
Our family likes to recharge with peanut butter on anything and everything with a glass of chocolate milk!!!
Yogurt and fruit, like strawberries is a favorite snack for my teen and my preschooler too! I am always craving carbs – I like to eat flax & sunflower bread toasted at night, with a tiny bit of canola oil butter mix – sounds weird I guess but it does the trick. Husband will eat anything, LOL!
We like to stay active and healthy by spending lots of time outdoors.
We love carrots with almond butter, or cottage cheese with blueberries.
This is a great giveway! Thanks.
This would be the perfect way to buy my kids a playhouse for the yard!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
I love pretzels or carrot sticks for my daughter as snacks. This is an awesome giveaway.
I have always given my kids these types of drinks, but they rarely have “cool” names like this. Give me son anything that say ROCKIN’ in it and he is excited! We also eat lots of “bars” – snack bars with high fiber and protein, also yogurt.
A snack our family loves is extremely simple to make: a slice of pepperjack cheese melted in a saucepan between two flour tortillas. Can also be made in the microwave! Rockin’ Refuel would go great with that!!
My husbands hours at work have been greatly reduced the last few months so we’ve ALL (4 of us) have been recharging on peanut butter a LOT. Now that the weather has warmed up we are walking a lot more and plan on riding our bikes together on the local trails. The kids love V8 Splash (aka Grandma Juice)so we buy it as often as possible.
Would love to win this! It would help pay for my college.
Snack of choice for the boys, believe it or not, is fresh fruits and raw veggies. They prefer that over any other snack food we may have available and that’s just ducky with me.
recharging for our family means almonds and craisins. Sunflower seeds are also a favorite.
Whew! I could really use this! I love edamame for a snack…just buy it frozen and boil it up, add a little salt and you’ve got a great healthy snack. My baby and I love staying active…just went for a 5k run with my BOB Ironman stroller.
We all have different foods or drinks we like to recharge. It is however my 7 year old daughter who keeps us active especially me since she always wants a partner when she wants to do here Wii Sports Active More Workouts and since she wears out soon I get a pretty tough workout in.
Water is the only thing we recharge our energy.
Our family (of 5) loves to snack on mainly fruits, my husband is more the veggie type though. And this giftcard would be a blessing; especially after losing my job…we still have lots of expenses and this would relieve some stress. Hope we win!
Winning this would truly be an amazing thing to achieve! if I win, I’ll be sure to thank you guys!
My favorite family recharger is peanut butter on bread or toast.
No kids here, but me and DH like to keep Babybel cheese on hand! YUM!

When our sons play baseball, they can have Gatorade, Bottled water and Sunflower Seeds in the dugout! I pack
Graham Crackers with Peanut Butter, Grapes and Cheese
Chunks or Cheese Sticks for recharging them.
Many thanks, Cindi
P.S.: Also, they enjoy drinking Vitamin Water…C.H.
We keep Propel/Gatorade in the house as our recharge drink and as far as snacks, our go to is peanut butter!
I stay healthy by having a diet high in fresh fruits & veggies, walking as often as possible, rock climbing when time permits, & finding ways to relax when the stresses of life hit.
My daughter is just starting to eat solid foods so she doesn’t really have a favorite snack yet, but I do: 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese spread over two pieces of toast or an english muffin. Yummers!
We always keep raw almonds around. Our daughter loves anything by snikkidy snacks too!
I give my son nuts, raisins, or fruit as snack for recharging.
Right now favorite snacks are apples and celery with peanut butter, and a healthy cup of milk or Sunny D. Keeps them fueled for the fun in the sun playin the back yard and helping mom in the garden!

My family loves to play soccer, as my 6 yo calls it “soccer ball”. For a snack we like gogurt, cheese sticks, or fruit esp. grapes.
Would love to win the gift card and take the kids on a short vacation this summer.
I would love to win this since i am losing my job at the end of the month.
My toddler is picky, so it’s hard getting nutritious things into him. My best tricks are quesadillas with shredded carrots and cheddar on a whole wheat tortilla. Thankfully he likes salsa with it. I also make a lot of smoothies and add hidden ingredients in it like ground flax meal and plain yogurt.
I sure could use this with twins on the way!
Wow! This is great & my 3 kids all love chocolate milk. This is definitely something I would give my kids to refuel them, but I currently use fruit (apples, oranges, raisins or bananas), granola bars, baby carrots or pop tarts!
We eat a lot of fresh fruits and cut up veggies. My kids are good eaters so we always have plenty of energy
We’re always munching on fruit! And when we’re on the go fruit filled cereal bars are a hit!
we love fruit snacks and walks to the park and library each day. what a great giveaway.
Mmm chocolate! But we tend to have fresh fruit around for snacking
We always have fruit or yogurt for the kids to snack on.
PB on celery is an healthy and easy snack.
We love to go places like the zoo to stay active!

My kids love eating dried cranberries! They even love them dipped in yogurt
Thanks for a great giveaway!
i love berries! they are jsut the perfect amount of sweet that it makes you not crave sugar.
We love trail mix. It’s great for Mommy too!
Fruit, cheese, trail mix, wheat toast with peanut butter, carrots, homemade granola bars… Some of our favorite choices around here.
My kids love string cheese, peaches, strawberries, and handfuls of Cheerios. A special favorite is popcorn.
Me and my family have snacks to recharge the kids like granola bars, deviled eggs, and the snacks that are the easiest to prepare are anything in a box with cheese sticks and of course the best, fresh fruit, usually apples and pears. Also, we stay active and healthy by just being happy and taking our vitamins and trying our best to get outside whenever possible which is sometimes hard to get out, but once we’re out we feel great. Thank you for entering me.
As a mother of four, I’ve spent lots of time watching school sports. Both of my adult daughters played sports throughout school. Now, my time is spent watch my son, a 6th-grader play soccer, basketball, softball, and track. My daughter, who is a freshman, plays basketball and volleyball. It’s important for my kids to be well-nourished and to have lots of energy and to keep hydrated. We also love sweets, so I always tell my kids that they have to eat good (meaning good-for-you) food also. I’m eager for my kids to try Rockin’ Refuel.
The easiest snack I prepare for my family is fruit…cut up…or whole berries, grapes, etc. We are lucky to live in area with lots of locally grown produce and farmers markets. They like the sweetness, I like the nutrients!
We love fresh berries or pears. Our quick go-to healthy snack is frozen peas or corn, my daughter loves them!
This would be great for us because money is so tight right now and we have my son’s birthday coming up in July. Thanks for the chance to win this great card!
We do milk,yogurt, and raisins.
Fruit for snacks, cut up oranges and just plain ole bananas
Sports mom!! YAY!! I use string cheese, kashi bars, fruits (they love bananas and grapes)
We love to go on walks and jogs. Run around the park with our dog! Go help dad with Rugby practice!
We eat alot of fruits and veggies. Our favorite sporty thing to do is bowl especially in the summer when the heat and humidity set in and it gets too hot in the afternoon to do anything else.
We love trail mix, baby carrots, fresh fruit, grape tomatoes, etc as a snack after exercising. It would be interesting to see how a drink such as Rocking Refuel would go over with the kids.
We eat a lot of fruit, one of the reasons I love summer so much is that we can so many different kinds of great fruit. My kids eat fruit like candy
Now if I could just get them as excited about veggies — LOL. This would be a great thing to win for us to buy groceries with!
Chocolate milk sounds really good to me right now!
We like to eat granola bars when traveling in the car, on bike trips or hiking.
Sounds like a great product! I love the chance to try it!
We invested in bikes for my husband and me this year, and since we live in a lake community, after dinner and on weekends we like to bike around the lake together. That’s how we stay healthy.
Chocolate milk and granola bars … yummmy… and btw you should change the name of Rocking Refuel to Rocking awesome
kids LOVE IT <3
We try and drink lots of waters, snack with good foods or snack less, and don’t eat after 8. Oh, and limit soda.
My kids like PBJ sandwiches and milk as a snack.
One of our favorite snacks to refuel is Turkey and Cheese. Take the soft cheese ( like laughing cow) and spread it on the Turkey slice, roll it up and eat it. We usually add a few slices of Apple or Banana as well.
iheartsweeping@aol.com
Fresh fruit slices always make a good snack for us.
I know my kids and myself can not drink enough chocolate milk, we love it along with bike riding! We recently had to move do to the lost of my job, car, and home. The positive in all of this is that we are now in a neighbor, in which we could go bike riding if only we had BIKES! That is what I would buy if I won the $500.
I stay fit by walking 5 miles a day.
to stay healthy – we walk along the beach
my son loves to snack on pretzels or yellow smoothies
nannypanpan@sbcglobal.net
I serve my children vegies with dip at snack time…they love it!
Thank you.

We mix dried cranberries and fresh red or green grapes. They are easy to prepare, simple and healthy.

My kids are on a yogurt parfait kick right now. They are so easy to make and yet the kids get so excited. I put lots of fresh fruit in it and serve it in a fancy glass. The kids love it.
I like to keep lots of fruits and veggies from the farmer’s market on hand for healthy snacking.
cheese and carrots
I make my daughter fruit kabobs for school snacks.
I fill a kabob with banana, grapes, apple and strawberries and she loves them!
Gardenstatemom@aol.com
Fruit slices and veggies make excellent snacks for the kiddies
We run 5k’s together (even my 5 year old daughter) and do family triathlons.
I try to have my kids eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies and get outside a little each day to run around.
My oldest will not eat veggies if she knows they are there. I find creative ways to “hide” them in her food. She’s much better with fruit.
My kids are older now (21 and 17)so they are open to eating healthy food, especially my oldest son. He was overweight as a teenager and decided to loose the weight himself. He has been a healthy weight for the last 3 years! We take walks each evening as a family to get some exercise.
My favorite snack for my kids is pistachios with some cut up fruit. They love strawberries!
my family stays healthy by eating brown rice instead of white rice, wheat bread instead of white, and we try not to eat unhealthy foods or snacks. we always drink water, and don’t have soda. we try to exercise everyday also! (:
We always have snack on hand-cut up vege’s and fruit so we’re not tempted by quick chips, cookies, etc.
Dried cranberries and apples.
Fruit, fruit snacks, fruit cups.
Clif kids bars, cashews, and string cheese have been keeping the kids happy lately
tvollowitz at aol dot com
We eat pistachios, almonds and nut/granola mixes as well as carrots for snacks these days. I would love to try the Rockin Refuel after a workout or perhaps for a meal replacement.
Fresh fruit cut up in fun shapes, finger foods, and cheeses
*Thanks* for the giveaway!
My kids like fruit, cheese and beef jerky.
popcorn, cheese, yogurt
slices of cheese or fruit cups work for me.
Fresh fruit is always a big hit with our family. Our kids especially love sliced apples. They’re easy to prepare and the kids eat them up.
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway.
rickpeggysmith(at)aol(dot)com
Everytime we go on vacation, I bring buy lots of beef jerky. It stays fresh and it’s easy to bring and snack on, especially when your hiking in the desert.
Healthy snacks like carrots and orange quarters are big items here but we usually need something sweet or salty to get us motiviated – pretzel rods fit the bill
I keep oranges and bananas around to refuel my children.
My kids always love apples, raisins (from the little boxes) and popcorn!
I tell you what keeps my happy and healthy is being able to exercise with my sweety 3 times a week. We actually have incredibly good conversations when we go out jogging around the block and lifting weights together
Keeps us both beautifully motivated.
Juice boxes and raw vegetables and fruit with a little peanut butter or other dip are great snacks.
We eat a lot of fruits and veggies and less red meat.
Eat raw veggies with ranch dressing rather then chips and eat fresh fruit
We buy a hummus brand that comes in kid size containers. Put out baby carrots with it, or other veggies, to dip. It’s good, light and healthy.
i always keep vegetable ready in the frig and some kind of deep for them its a quick snack and good for them too. we go outside after supper and they usually work on their cars and i work on my flowers so that we keep buzy and so that what we eat for supper just doesnt lay in our stomaches and make us lazy.
apple chips & peanut butter
My son will not eat veggies so I find creative ways to “hide” them in his food. I add pureed veggies to tomato sauce for spaghetti and homemade pizza. Works like a charm and the whole family gets an extra helping of veggies.
I try to use fruit and healthy things for my daughter for her snacks. Apples (or apples with peanut butter), bananas, oranges…
We are loving Smoothies!! =)
My 3 year old loves picking out what fruit he wants in his, and what yogurt. Healthy, and fun!
I haven’t heard of this product before – have to check it out. My kids like whole grain goldfish or chips and salsa at home as a snack, but after sports it is a fiber bar that is a favorite
We have fruit yogurt smoothies all the time and we also bike and take walks at least 2-3 times a week to stay active and healthy
Ensure for us and Pediasure for my toddler …:-)
My two little ones will eat cut up fruit, nuts, and carrot sticks if I let them picnic on the floor. They think they are doing something really special that way.
I used to make my own “trail mix” for trips, (peanuts, chocolate chips, pops cereal, etc.).
We usually take string cheese with us as a snack when we are on the go.
My family tries to go out to the park every weekend and maybe run around it. That’s how we stay healthy. We also hit the gym a couple times a week too.
We eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
We eat a lot of popcorn
We eat a lot of veggies and fruit and make sure to get in some exercise every day.
My Daughter is a very picky eater, to the point she doesnt like candy!
Yes, there is acully a child that doesnt like candy! LOL
So, I make her a “milk shake” with yogurt and milk and mix it together. SHH she doesnt know.she is eating fruits.yes, she doesnt like fruit either.
Then we love to go across the street to the park and we play tag, or just chase the dog in the field.
Thanks,
Ms. Holder
My son is 18 months old and for snacks we do a lot of cheese and fruit. I am always so excited once spring rolls around just because there are so many more choices for snacks (as far as the fruit part goes)!!
jen.hector@hotmail.com
I always let my daughter bring a container of grapes wherever she goes. She loves them!
We walk 3 miles a day.
We walk everyday.
We live a couple blocks from the high school track,so on most days my 4 grandkids and I walk the track…dried fruit, fresh fruit,crackers,cereal,juicy boxes are some snack foods we pack to go
Grapes and cheese cubes are the pick of snacks. Everyone loves them in my family!
I like to go easy to refuel but, I try to stay healthy with my daughter. Her favorites are low fat cheese, oranges and other fresh fruit, and carrot sticks
Fruit, it’s good and a natural energy boost.
I give my grandsons bananas. They love them. They especially like them mashed up with milk poured over them.
I am all about organic trail mix, baby carrots, and string cheese. You have to start them right.
Peanut Butter And Jelly Squares! Nom Nom Nom…
Brian
moredamnspam@yahoo.com
We stay healthy by exercising or playing basketball at least 4 times a week for an hour. I make meals that always include a veggie or salad and fresh fruit or sugar-free jello for dessert!
I spread peanut butter on graham crackers. I think peanut butter is the best food for an energy boost in both children and adults.
My daughter loves apples and flavored applesauce. Cinnamon is her favorite so far.
We eat granola bars,.rice cakes, fruit and nuts.
apples are great! so are oranges!
A great pick up snack that both my kids and I like is bananas or apples with peanut butter, graham crackers, and a glass of cold milk. Our family stays active by playing with our dog Abby.

ORANGE JUICE
When my kids were small I usually gave them fresh fruit as a snack.
Show me the money!!!!
we try to walk daily. Also enjoy using the Wii Fit with my granddaughter
I keep fresh fruit and yogurt on hand for my granddaughter for after school snacks.
I always thought prepackaged snack bags were the easiest even though they’re not cheap and full of garbage. I tried raisins and pretzels but my kids got sick of them and I got sick of running to the ENT to get raisins pulled out of noses and ears. Now my 6 year old loves apples and plum tomatoes, my 2 year old son loves bananas and my 2 year old daughter likes yogurt- besides for the yogurt that requires refrigeration everything is so easy to grab and go and it’s so good for them!
When my kids were small I used to give them apple slices and cheese sticks.
constancelavery at msn dot com
Would give different type of nuts.
We always take the juice boxes and trailmix bars. I stopped get the ones with chocolate because they would be a littl too gooey for a two year old.
We use yogurt. It is less than 100 calories when you get the nonfat or lowfat ones.
I’m all about letting my son snack on fruit during the day. He is a very picky eater, but at least with fruit he gets something natural.
yogurt, string cheese, fruit
fantastic prize
My son is only 6 weeks old but we go for regular stroller walks to get him outside and me moving.
We try to stay healthy by not eating anything that has the words “Partially Hydrogenated Oil” in the ingredients list. (Fully hydrogenated is fine; just watch out for “partially”). If you follow that one rule, you’ll eliminate a ton of junk food and trans fat from your diet. It’s amazing how many foods labeled as “healthy” has this junk in it; I’ve even found it in frozen peas that had butter sauce!!! Even items marked as “0″ trans fat can have it; it all depends on how tiny they listed their serving size.
hotpepper71 at bell south dot net
Milk, milk, milk. I am a milk addict. I don’t remember one day in the past 10 years that I haven’t had at least 2 glasses of milk. It does a body good
This would be great
Grapes and bananas are favorites at my house.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Apples are great to recharge with
We make our own trail mix, and the kids love carrots and celery, and almost any fruit. We also walk to and from school to be sure to burn a few calories every day.
We love raisins! So come snack time, mix raisins with peanuts (we have no alergies), tiny pretzels, M & M’s, and some dried fruit. This is good for movie nite or road trips too. Thanks.
I like snacks that don’t require any work on my part – crackers, yogurt, fruit…
Are you kidding me? $500? Amazing giveaway!
We snack on fruit, carrots, edamame and almonds. If we need a treat, Odwalla bars are our favorites. As for staying healthy, we try to walk or play at least an hour a day.
I always include fruit with their mid morning and mid afternoon snacks (strawberries, grapes, blueberries, apples, mandarins, raspberries, bananas). I also keep a stock of slightly steamed carrots for them. They love to dip the carrots in maple syrup.
my family and I go on daily walks! Its a great way to get family time in when living a busy schedule. My kids look forward to it every night after dinner. We have grown very close as a family due to these walks! We also, look for trails to walk on the weekends and for a great snack full of protein that I always pack is a whole wheat bun with peanut butter and a banana cut in half in the middle. It fills us up and is a great source of protein, and for those who follow Weight Watchers, like me its only 5 points!
Grapes are a quick and easy snack
I measure out my snacks to keep calorie/carb count in control.

Cheerios, shredded Carrots, raw broccoli, and berries are all trusty standbys for my nearly 3 year old.

We stay active by playing softball and hiking in the summer.
Just let the kids play and run outside.
A favorite snack at our house is peanut butter and crackers.
My grandsons are encouraged to play outside as often as possible … and we walk over to the park which provides double exercise (the walk and running all over the park).
We avoid sugar-coated cereals and sugary snacks and we avoid soda (even diet since we’re trying to avoid the sweeteners).
My favorite snack to use to help refuel my family is something tasty but packed with protein, like homemade hummus & wheat pitas, or toast with peanut butter and honey. Easy and energy that lasts!

Nuts, trail mix, and other protein snacks
Nothing easier than a banana for a snack for my kids.
I think protein snacks are the best. Sugary snacks, even granola bars, leave you in the dust after a short while. I like Atkin’s bars or something like it.
I buy organic apples and cut them up and serve with almond butter most of the time. We all love it!
My kids love crackers…sometimes with cheese!

My daughter loves yogurt, she also can not get enough strawberries and watermelon. She would eat both of those all day if I let her.
We are always outside playing and running or walking around the pond in town, added bonus the kids get to feed the ducks.
Apple slices and peanut butter are always a hit at our house. Laughing cow cheese and crackers are always good too. My kids are great when it comes to trying new things, I rarely get complaints about food, except maybe that they want more

We tried that chocolate milk after a 5k and everyone LOVED it! My kids are hooked now!!
I make sure to have a lot of clean fresh fruit an veggies in the fridge so it’s easy to grab. Another go-to snack is a quesadilla with the refrigerated tortillas that are uncooked. Yum!
Mini pizzas!! Canned biscuit dough, pizza sauce and cheese…10 minutes in the over and they’re ready to go. The kids love them!

I am a proud aunt of a 11 1/2 month old. I care more about what I feed him than myself. I try to keep him active by playing with him instead of sitting him in front of the TV. I try to remember he will only be this small once. When he reaches for me to pick him up after he eats and know what we feed him is all worth it.
My kids are still young so we look for ways to stay fit and active while hanging out at home. We always have music on and are constantly dancing around. I also include the kids in my workouts. We work on learning to count and they are growing up knowing it’s important to stay healthy and be strong.
Fruit is my daughters favorite snack – she could live on strawberries, plums, apples & peanut butter, blueberries, kiwi, you name it!
Hope everyone has a great summer!

I’ve been trying to follow the “Meatless Mondays” movement and don’t miss it at all!!
I have been blessed with my kids and snacks. They love veggies and fruits. I try to give them broccoli and carrots and sometimes strawberries,bananas and oranges. I even keep some in coolers when on the road. Better than chips or snack cakes and they seem to have more energy when I give them lots of fruits and veggies.
i cant wait for my sons to try this Vitamin enhanced Milk on the go. my sons never want to eat breakfast since they dont have time so this is great for them to get their nutrients, breakfast is the most important meal of the day & this is a Meal 2 Go!
An apple is a great easy snack
My kids love anykind of fruit but their favorite snack is gummys

My 2 year old loves to eat yogurt, oranges, & apples.. she’s setting a great example to her 1 yr. old sister. My husband & I like to sign up for half marathons to keep us fit & healthy. I recently caught the Tri. bug.. I’m training for my 3rd one this October.
My two teen boys are active and healthy. One plays high school football and the other sweats like crazy working as the cow mascot for Chick Fil A. Yum!
We try to refuel with a piece of fruit. Be it a banana, an apple or a small bowl of grapes, it always seems to get my girls’ motor running!!
We just recently signed up my oldest for soccer, even though she has no idea what she’s doing she’s having a ton of fun with it, we encourage her to just run run run lol. My youngest loves to dance so I encourage her to do that whenever she wants, wherever she is.
As for snacks, whole grains, raw veggies and fruits and dairy, doesn’t matter what it is, the girls love them and it gives them all their crazy energy!
I’m so fortunate to have two girls who love vegetables!! Grape tomatoes are their favorite and require almost no prep – just a quick rinse! I wish I was as good at eating my veggies!!
our family stays active by taking “family walks” after dinner around our neighborhood…it’s exactly 1 mile.
I do fruit or cheeses for snacks for my kids. My husband and I go to the gym. And the kids and I walk to and from school for exercise also.
I can’t wait to try this product!
we love camping so we use baby carrots, salads and fruit for snacks through the day. we are not the fittest family but we love to be outdoors and enjoying the wonders of nature. This would give us a great camping vacation for this summer.
Cheese sticks, crackers and fruit!
The nutritious snacks around here are yogurt and cheese sticks. I like the ostrich beef jerky for my extra intake of protein. My son loves to eat plain Cheerios for a snack as well.

They love these and the califlower more than anything. I started these healthy snacks with my kids and they passed it along to thiers so they look for them at my house.
One of our family’s favorite snacks is apple slices dipped in peanut butter.
One of many snacks that my kids love are “ants on a log”, what better way to get some protein, veggies and a little bit of sweet all in one snack! And we’ve also tried to make it a routine to take a family walk even with the dogs around the block after dinner.

My son’s fav snacks are popcorn, and fresh veggies dipped in ranch dressing.
Hubby and I stay active by running. We encourage our son to be outside and active as much as possible. He even tries to “lift weights” with Daddy!
Very early we started the rule of “Fruit First” for snack time. So, any time my dtr saw some unhealthy snack that she wanted… she knew to pick a fruit to eat first. That always filled her up and she forgot the unhealthy choice and grew to love the healthy ones. Organic peanut butter on bananas or apples is definitely a favorite.
After my son’s tball games each kid is allowed to pick a snack. The choices include candy and junk food which drives me nuts! I would love to try the Refuel chocolate milk! Our go to easy,(somewhat) healthy snack is cereal.
My kids love string cheese or strawberries as a snack between soccer games.
For snack time I usually let my daughter choose from 3 different options which mostly include rice cakes, yogurt, cheese sticks, grapes, apple, or clementine
My daughter loves fruit. Strawberries, grapes, apples, bananas. We also love to curl up with some popcorn and a good movie! We love eating healthy at our house!

Apples with peanut butter or honey & bananas are another household favorite.
We love granola bars (we look for ones made without high fructose corn syrup), fruit, veggies, easy smoothies, and milk.
My 2-year-old LOVES strawberries! We just went through 2 pounds of berries in 2 days… and my husband didn’t get any!
In our house, we love baby carrots and apple slices to keep the kids charged! The easiest snacks to make is anything that is ready-to-go. We purchase baby carrots and separate them into snack baggies when we get home from the store. Then all we have to do is grab and go. So easy! I love the apple slice packs. We make our own trail mix and have them separated into snack baggies. To keep the kids active, we play games outside, bike ride, swim and play the Wii.

It’s all about those apples and peanut butter. YUM!
My kids love whole wheat bread…and anything on it. I mean anything!(EWW!) Personally, I serve things like cheese and milk, yogurt with berries…stuff like that. But they’s eat bread for every meal if I let them (4 boys, what do you expect I guess)…LOL!
K.
I am an equal opportunity snacker, I must confess! For fun snacks like for movie night, it’s popcorn with Junior Mints mixed right in. For healthy normal snacking we like apples with peanut butter or string cheese, or something else similar.
What a great giveaway! Please include me!

Raw veggies and yogurt are a hit in my home. But, I feel that my setting a good example with my eating habits is the best I can do for my daughters!
We like to stuff lunch boxes with strips of raw red pepper, celery or cucumber. We also make homemade granola and granola bars–both of which serve as great, healthy snacks!
The key for us is to prepare snacks ahead of time. When we are snacky, we tend to go for easy foods. So strawberries are cleaned and cut before they go into the fridge. Lettuce is washed and spun and put back into the fridge ready for a quick salad. And eggs are already hardboiled (who wants to wait 20 minutes for an egg to be ready?). Everything fixed up as soon as we get back from the grocery store!
My kids love “Ants on a Log”: celery with peanut butter and raisins on top.
We keep things simple with snacks! I clean and bag grapes, sliced apples and carrots and keep them in the fridge for easy snacking. Also keep string cheese and yogurt on hand. And dried fruits and nuts in the cupboard. (There are occasionally chips and cookies for snacks but those are really TREATS in our house).
My kids are fabulous snackers. They love my dehydrated fruit! My dehydrator runs LOTS as I dry bananas (kids’ favorite), apples, pears, prunes, peaches, pineapple… I also use the dehydrator for fruit leathers (sugar free) and jerky. YUM! The other popular snacks are fresh fruits including grapes, apple slices with PB, bananas, pears, etc., chopped cucumber bites, PB filled pretzels, whole wheat sugar free banana bread, string cheese turkey wraps, and more. So, do my kids ever get the “junk” snacks? Occasionally we have fish crackers.
we love apples and peanut butter, popcorn or – when we’re on the run – granola bars.
Our favorite snacks are peanuts, dried apples, and bananas! Or just fresh fruit/veggies!
jewelsntreasures (at) yahoo (dot) com
We’re fortunate to live in an area that is surrounded by natural beauty. We are often exploring a park, nature reserve or bird sanctuary. We like string cheese,crackers, popcorn, nuts and bananas for snacks.
My son LOVES hummus. We have hummus and crackers, hummus and veggies (altho the veggies really just become a utensil to get the hummus into the mouth), and the other day I gave him the nearly empty container to finish with a spoon.
My kids love pecans and raisins.
The easiest snacks are definitely fresh and dried fruits, but I also love to make green smoothies for my little guy. I blend up kale, apple juice, and frozen fruits. He loves them.
We stay active by having a post-dinner walk every night. Luckily we’re in FL so we can do it all year round!

We stay active and healthy by jogging with the kids in the jogging stroller. When we finish our run, we always encourage the kids to get out and have a friendly race with the parents. Fun for everyone!
The easiest/healthiest snack in my world is the banana – it’s sweet and supplies energy and comes in a biodegradable peel.
We walk to stay healthy. Not just leisurely strolls either; 3 to 5 miles at a brisk pace nearly every day. Even the dog has lost weight!
My son just started jar vegetabls, so I guess thats how he refuels. I often dive for anything chocolate and my hubby is particularly fond of pretzels. We stay active by limiting TV time to 2 hours per day… MAX! Its rigidly enforced too, no shenanigans here!

Fruit is a staple in our house! My teenager would eat a whole bag of chips if he could, so I keep plenty of fruit in the house to curb his cravings! Thanks!

I like to give her healthy snacks like fruit, cut up cheese, and veggies.
Our kids got us involved, at their early age, in playing adult soccer – they knew how to quickly shut our mouths from the sidelines when we found out how hard it is to play. We recharge with gatorade and water; drink milk daily and I have spoiled the family with washed prepared fruits for easy pick up in their own plastic containers!
Our children are still fairly young but I am trying to keep fresh organic fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator cleaned and easy to grab for snacks. They seem to really enjoy them… especially the fruit. We drink mostly water in our house for every meal… so I am always trying to find ways to get more dairy into their diets.
we recharge with fresh fruit, grapes are perfect to take along and pack in lunches
singermagic1(at)yahoo(dot)com
At our home we always have apples. Apple is relatively cheap and available all year long. More importantly it is easy and ideal snack for kids because they can eat them without using a knife.

We like string cheese, easy and protein.
We always have fruit for after school or when the kids would like something to snack on.
SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER SHAKE!
Big fan of trail mix. Some almonds, peanuts, craisins, and m&ms in a bag. Sure chocolate isnt the best thing but color is key.
Fresh fruit is the best snack treat for our family. They love to eat cut up watermelon & strawberries.
We love frozen blueberries, string cheese, and tomatoes with mozarella and olive oil
Cheese stick, baked chicken sticks, and grapes are enjoyed by my daughter.
I always packed fresh fruits, cheese and lots of water for swim meets.
Our teen daughter is very snack smart, preferring yogurt, apple slices and the like to much of the junkier foods out there. Our 4-month-old son is too young for snacks just yet, but will have a great example in his big sis as he gets older.
Many thanks!

Popcorn and fresh fruit! Thanks
I’ve found that the kids really love to make parfaits and smoothies, which are amazing healthy options that can really pack in lots of fresh fruit, nuts, dairy, and protein, all in one. I’ve also taken to modifying the recipes for dishes and desserts to “sneak in” healthy ingredients, like tofu, which has been a big success as well. Thanks!
We recharge with nuts and fresh fruit!

My two year old Grandson lives with me and his parents are both in school. He loves fruit, veggies, raisins and yogurt. He keeps me pretty active. Would like to get a family pass for the zoo so he can visit the animals.
I love easy snacks like grapes, apples and bananas.
My kids are both hooked on junk food as snacks and my son in particular was eating too many of them. A healthy alternative that he has turned to is smoothies. He uses low fat yogurt, frozen fruit, and a splash of OJ and he loves them! He bought himself a special blender even, to make them in!
my son loves lowfat granola with raisins..quick and east or broccoli with spinach dip is a favorite also

My daughter loves the pureed fruit pouches and I find them easy to toss in my bag and have on hand for when she needs a quick and healthy snack.
Thanks for the giveaway…First of all, I have tried Rockin’ Refuel in the chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry flavors and it is a great product; perfect when you are too busy to take time for lunch on a busy day, it’s like a delicious milk protein milkshake if you throw it in a blender with some ice.
As for family snacks, we stick with fresh fruit, nuts, and the family favorite: celery spread with spoonful of chunky peanut butter !

We all try to drink plenty of bottled spring water every day. This keeps us charged up.
sure could use this to help my grand daughter for college this fall
Plenty of water everyday, a few walnuts and we’re good to go. I also want to try this on the go snack of 1/2 avocado, salsa and tortilla chips on the go. Just scoop it out with the chips and top with salsa. Sounds good to me.
Thanx for the nice giveaway!
I try to give my family the healthiest stuff I can-fruit and cheese and hard boiled eggs are all good quick energy boosters.

We keep a lot of fruit handy. Apples and Banana’s are the best “to go” treat. Thanks!
Home made trail mix is very easy and quick. Raisins, dried cranberries, cherries, etc, and mix it with almonds, cashews, and if not allergic, peanuts, Let the kids decide what they would like to put in. Some chips–chocolate, carob etc are also good. Add some natural-fruit based gummy bears.
My boys love fruit and yogurt
Keeping fruit washed and cut up in the fridge makes for a really handy snack.
Apples and bananas are the boys favorite snacks
I go swimming 3 times a week. Thanks for the contest.

I’ll have to speak about my granddaughters because my “kids” are grown and married. My granddaughters eat organic foods, and help their Mom pick vegetables and fruits at an organic farm co-op that they belong to. They don’t eat “junk” food, but love yogurt, fresh berries, bananas and anything that is homemade fresh by Mom in their kitchen at home. They love to participate in helping with baking, so they pretty much are savvy about what is in the foods they eat. They do love the Pirate’s Booty snacks which are good for them.
the snacks we use to recharge are carrots, pretzels and veggies, these are the easiest to prepare.
The snacks that are easy to prepare are cheese and crackers, and ants on a log. Only lately my son is telling me he doesn’t like peanut butter. My son loves having smoothies as a recharging snack.

I had some difficulty viewing the website in Safari on Linux, but apart from that loved the site.
I like your blog! Just kidding :] Nice read anyway.
Losing weight is a balance of exercise and diet plans. One option is to have a low carb diet meal plan in place to start with changing some of those eating habits. Which website has been the most helpful for your low carb diet meal plans?
What a great review! I wanted to get one immediately after reading your review. You mentioned that Safety 1st sent you two Complete Air Convertible Car Seats with Air Protect at no charge, to try out and keep; I was wondering how can I get one to try out as well? Can you provide advise and insights? Thank you!
