Surprisingly Good Snacks You’ll Find At Convenience Stores On Your Next Road Trip

Published on by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

 

If you’re headed out on the road this holiday season chances are you’re struggling to find great snack options in an ever-unhealthy world.  I’m sure most of us remember road trips with the family being full of convenience store stops so we could fill up on ‘junk’ and head off again.  Chances are this holiday season you’ll find yourself making a few pit stops at convenience stores and I’m willing to bet you’ll find yourself pleasantly surprised at all of the new healthier snack and beverage options now out on C-Store shelves.  If you’ve been into any convenience stores lately, I’m sure you’ve noticed healthier options like fresh fruit and yogurt, but the options go so much deeper than that!  I’ve put together a travel basket of our favorite goodies that you can find at most C-Stores nationwide so your basket can be replenished along the way, and who knows, maybe you’ll even find some great items I happened to miss!

 

HEALTHY OPTIONS are some of the most important to keep in mind (I toss these in before we head out so our basket is complete with balanced options for everyone):

  • Fresh fruits and vegetables are often by the cash register or in a refrigerated case, either served whole or in a convenient size to fit into a cupholder.
  • Nuts and dried fruits are popular snacks, and many come in cups or resealable pouches for easy transportation.
  • Bottled water is a staple we all take along on road trips and needs to be restocked along the trip.  Convenience stores sell approximately 50 percent of the country’s single-serve bottled water!
  • Oikos Nonfat Yogurt Drinks is a new line of deliciously smooth, drinkable yogurts that pack in 10 grams of protein without any added sugar, artificial sweeteners or fat.

 

ALTERNATIVE SNACKS continue to gain popularity as we all strive to seek out high-protein energy-rick snacks:

  • Think Thin Protein Cakes are available in delicious classic cake flavors, and they provide a balanced way to satisfy sweet cravings.  Each cake has 12 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar, and they’re gluten- and GMO-free!
  • ZonePerfect Revitalize Bars get your mind and body moving with energizing green tea extract, choline and caffeine, while super scrumptious flavors make your taste buds happy.
  • PowerBar Plant Protein Bars are made with protein from plant=based ingredients and nuts, with no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners.  Available in three amazing flavors: Dark Chocolate Almond & Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cashew, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter.

 

MERGING FLAVORS is a hot trend in snacking-whether sweet and spicy, sweet and sour, or sweet and salty.

  • Skittles Sweet Heat is spicing things up this December!  Each pack features fruity flavors with a spicy kick including: Fiery Watermelon, Blazin’ Mango, Flamin’ Orange, Sizzlin’ Strawberry, and Lemon Spark.
  • Snickers Peanut Butter Crisper also debuting in December, provides the perfect balance of
    sweet, salty, creamy and crispy.  The satisfaction of real peanut butter with the crunch of
    crisp, it comes in four squares that fans are sure to love.
  • Trolli Twisted Sour Brite Crawlers are chewy on the outside and soft on the inside, with
    a burst of sour berry flavor for a totally unique texture and flavor experience. Flavors
    include blue raspberry, strawberry, and green apple.

 

FUNCTIONAL BEVERAGES quench thirst while packing protein, vitamins or other nutrients.  We’re always multi-tasking, why shouldn’t our beverages multi-task too?

  • Pedialyte Powder Packets are formulated to help prevent dehydration from an illness,
    travel, heat exhaustion or even alcohol consumption. And that’s why adults and teens
    now comprise 36% of Pedialyte consumption.
  • Vitamin Water Active Nutrient Enhanced Performance Drinks offer 100% RDA of
    vitamins B5, B6 and B12 to support energy metabolism and electrolytes from natural
    sources like coconut water and sea salt.

 

GOURMET SNACKS AND TREATS are available at convenience stores, rewarding those of us seeking
indulgence while we’re out on the road:

  • Pearson Ranch introduces exciting and fun Character Bags of savory Elk, Buffalo,
    Venison and Wild Boar Jerky. Each resealable bag includes 2.1 ounces of bite-size pieces
    of jerky, which is made with premium quality lean meats and contain no gluten, nitrites
    or MSG.
  • SmashMallow is a sweet-tooth satisfying pick-me- up made with organic cane sugar and
    simple naturally sourced ingredients. It’s a guilt-free indulgence at around 80 calories
    and less than 1 gram of fat on average per serving.

 

ENERGY BOOSTING BEVERAGES are a MUST for this tired mom when we’re on a long road trip.  Only problem is…warm liquids make me sleepy and tired.  Cold energy boosting drinks are a great option whether you’re a tea or coffee drinker:

  • Heyday Cold-Brew Coffee is crafted by soaking the coffee grounds from Fair Trade beans
    in cool water for several hours, then triple-filtering it, and adding a touch of pure cane
    sugar and a splash of cream for a refreshingly light, smooth taste. Choose from Original,
    Espresso, Chocolate and Vanilla.

Giant Sized Fun With the Jenga Giant JS7 Hardwood Game

Published on by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

 

Whether you’re looking for an over the top Christmas gift, or just looking for a great way to keep holiday guests entertained, you can’t go wrong with the Jenga Giant JS7 Hardwood Game.  Jenga is a classic game that’s easy for friends and family members of all ages to play, and the oversized version adds a whole new level of fun.

 

 

Did you know that the Jenga Giant JS7 Hardwood Game is the LARGEST Jenga Giant game ever?!  Once you start playing and stacking more blocks on top, the tower can grow to over 5 feet tall!  You can play as a fun family game or make a sport out of it and have the most epic family holiday match of all time.  The blocks stack nice and neatly together just like the smaller versions of this fun game, but be careful!  The towering size can make it a little difficult to master but it’s so much fun trying.

 

 

An expert player can stack this super sized game 44 stories and higher!  While my husband and I aren’t quite there yet (we’re a few stories away) we’ve been having the best time perfecting our skills and trying to make sure the other person has a hard time successfully pulling and stacking their next block.  The size can be a little difficult for younger players, but my 6 year old daughter has adapted quite well.  She’s quickly become a little master and can somehow pull and stack blocks better than me!

Inside your Jenga Giant JS7 Hardwood Game package you’ll find:

  • A Heavy Duty Jenga® GIANT™ Carry Bag
  • 54 precision-crafted polished hardwood blocks
  • Instructions

 

The inclusion of the heavy duty carry bag is a really great idea.  Living in Arizona means lots of hot weather and we like to spend a lot of time on the lake during the warmer months.  The carry bag is going to come in super handy when we take our new Jenga Giant set with us on our next lake camping trip.  Our blocks will be easy to transport on the boat and clean-up will be a breeze.

Add a little giant-sized fun to your holidays this year with the Jenga Giant JS7 Hardwood Game this year.

Wild Winter Creature Adventures With The Wild Kratts

Published on by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

 

Do you have a little one who loves to go on wild creature adventures with the Kratt brothers?  My daughter is a HUGE fan of Wild Kratts, and the new Wild Kratts Wild Winter Creatures is the perfect addition to any little one’s holiday movie collection.  From exploring polar bears to visiting the Subnivean Zone, there’s tons of winter fun to be had along the way.

Join Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt as they embark on four snowy winter adventures from their hit PBS Kids series Wild Kratts.  When Chris loses his creature souvenir collection in the Arctic, will he be able to get his creature treasures back before the evil Zach Varmitech finds them?  Chris and Martin continue to face Zach Varmitech when he kidnaps a polar bear cub and a walrus calf, and again when he threatens to use an entire walrus herd to mine precious pearls for Donita Donata’s fashion line!

There are four episodes on this disc, and the run time is approximately 106 minutes.  The episodes on this DVD include:

  • “Polar Bears Don’t Dance” – Martin and Chris are on a mission in the Arctic to discover just how animals move around in different environments. Their new knowledge of both buoyancy and traction comes in handy when they discover that the dastardly Zach Varmitech has kidnapped a Walrus calf and a Polar bear cub. The Wild Kratts team will do whatever it takes to return the baby animals to their mothers!
  • “Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus” – Chris and Martin are out to investigate why the walrus looks so weird, but then find out that Zach Varmitech has kidnapped an entire herd to mine precious pearls for Donita Donata’s fashion line. The Wild Kratts team figures out that walrus’ have incredible powers that have a lot to do with how they look. They must employ the walrus’ super suction and other amazing powers against Zach to save the herd and return them back home to their Arctic domain.
  • “Journey to the Subnivean Zone” – A miniaturized Chris and Martin get lost in a snowy field and uncover the secret underground world of the meadow vole.
  • “Musk Ox Mania” – When Chris realizes that his precious Creature souvenir collection is missing, the gang must travel back to the Arctic to find it. But the Arctic is now covered in a thick layer of ice and snow, so they’ll need the help of a special Arctic creature – the Musk Ox – and its creature powers to find it.

 

Whether you’re looking for a great winter movie to add to your little one’s collection, or for a great stocking stuffer for that deserving little one on your shopping list, you can’t go wrong with Wild Kratts Wild Winter Creatures.
