Calorie Bargain: FruitaBu Fruit Twirls
The Why: You know that aisle in the grocery with all the junky, high calorie sweet snacks? The one that’s usually frequented by moms, snatching up boxes of fruit-flavored, sugary packets to throw in their kids’ lunch bags? Well this calorie bargain will give you a feel-good reason to go down that aisle. Kids will love ‘em, and even adults can look forward to this fun, tangy snack. The twirls are a long, thin strip of dried fruit puree, pressed onto a paper a piece of waxed paper and all rolled up. These are a great, portion-control snack, and since there are about 18 inches of fruit to enjoy, it lasts a long time. Part of the fun is picking your twirl-eating, style. Some of our tasters unrolled the whole thing first. Others went the silly route, and ate and unrolled as they went along. |

 The Why: Ideally, we would thirst for plain old water, drink plenty of it, and live in hydrated happiness. However, many of us just don’t dig plain H20. And don’t be fooled—some of the other clear liquids out there that look like viable water alternatives are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Drinking multiple servings a day of a sugary drink could lead to a calorie budget disaster. Fruit20, on the other hand, is a refreshing alternative that is calorie free, sugar free, and offers flavors with added healthy-themes – like immunity, energy, and relax.

 The Why: "Rag Doll?" "BINGO!!!" Yoga Bingo is here, just in time for kids out of school for the summer and stuck inside on rainy days. This active version of good ol' B-I-N-G-O uses game cards (with great pictures of children in yoga poses), a deck and some plastic chips to keep kids busy and teach real yoga poses.
