Planters Trail Mix Promotes Great Outdoors Month

About the Nuts

In honor of the Presidential call to get outdoors, I thought it would be interesting to round up the best snacks to bring along on your outdoor adventure!


Proclaimed by the White House, Great Outdoors Month encourages all Americans to explore the great outdoors. Of course, it’s important to stay full with wholesome snacks on the trail. lanters has recently introduced two new trail mix products – Alaskan Wilderness Trail Mix and Appalachian Blend Trail Mix – both of which contain natural, wholesome ingredients to keep hikers and campers energized and ready to explore the great outdoors.

My Take on the Products
I was quite impressed with this snack mix. Full of great energy boosting items, this mix provides the perfect pick-me-up whether you are out on the trail, or sitting in your office. I particularly enjoyed the dried fruit that was in the mix, as I am always interested in being health with fruits. In saying this though the nuts were great as usual!

So if you are looking for some great snack mixes that are healthy and filling, look no further than these mixes. Overall, these mixes take snack mix to the next level. With a combination of health and flavor, how could you go wrong?

Sunsweet D'Lightful, D'Licious, D'Noir Prunes

Sunsweet Growers has been working hand-in-hand with nature for nearly 100 years to perfect the art of prune making and is now introducing its newest plum creation, a true prune masterpiece: D’Lightful, D’Licious, D’Noir Prunes – only from Sunsweet!  Not only are these the juiciest, best-tasting prunes of their kind, but they’re free of preservatives and full of all the whole fruit antioxidants and all-natural fiber and potassium that make prunes the ultimate Super Fruit they are.  This masterpiece not only has prune lovers talking, but it’s even changing the minds of the prune skeptics as well!  That’s why Sunsweet Growers wants to Dare the Family Review Network to D’Noir!
 
In celebration of D’Noir, Sunsweet recently launched the “Dare to D’Noir Challenge,” a Facebook-based video contest challenging prune lovers and prune skeptics alike to Dare to D’Noir and upload videos sharing what they think about the new product from now through June 17.  Five finalists will be selected and put to a public vote for a chance to win the grand prize of $5,000.

We’d love to provide bloggers within the Family Review Network with a sample of Sunsweet’s D’Noir Prunes for review on their blogs.  And, of course, if anyone feels so inclined, we enthusiastically encourage you upload a video of yourself/your kids/your friends daring to D’Noir for the first time for a chance to win $5,000!

 My Take on the Product
Naturally sweet, full of fiber and great tasting these prunes will make you ask for seconds. I was impressed with the overall flavor and at how filling they were. You only need to eat a few to feel satisfactorily full...unlike many snack foods. I think that prunes sometimes get a bad wrap, but they truly are delicious and I would definitely highly recommend them for anyone in the family. I mean, who can argue with great tasting and healthy?

I received these Prunes from being a part of the Family Review Network and from Sunsweet.
