Horizon 5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please - Giveaway

 ***Complimentary product received in exchange for an honest review***



This back to school season, nationally-recognized nutritionist Elizabeth Somer and Horizon Organic, a leading organic dairy brand, partnered to create a back-to-school resource called “5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please” that helps parents and kids make smart, nutritious lunch box choices. The easy-to-use tool, outlines the five main food groups and 10 kid-approved lunch box ideas under each category. The idea is for kids and parents to use the tool together each week to pick and pack balanced lunches. You can print out this valuable resource by clicking this link.


 Since many parents love to participate in Box Tops for Education, you should also know that you can find six Box Tops on the 18-count packages of Horizon Organic Milk with 32 mg DHA Omega-3 Single Serve Milk Boxes at Sam’s Club locations




 Our Thoughts


I have been a fan of Horizon Organic for awhile now. Its one of the only brands of organic milk I can actually buy in my area. We always get their half gallons of regular milk and I have bought their little milk boxes for my kids on many occasions. So of course I was excited to try out their newest product. They now have available Organic ilk with DHA Omega-3Single Serve Milk Boxes  that come in both vanilla and chocolate 1% low fat varieties.




DHA Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps support heart, brain and eye health. That's an important benefit, but one that wouldn't do much good if my kids didn't like what they were drinking. Luckily, Horizon's newest addition tastes as great as I expected it would. My kids loved it, especially in these portable single servings that are shelf stable. It doesn't taste watered down like some low fat milks. Its thick, creamy, delicious, and a treat I don't have to feel guilty about giving to my children.  They enjoyed has a few at home and the older kids took some to school. .
To learn more about Horizon's newest product, check out the Horizon Organic website or the Horizon Organic DHA website. They have fun interactive games, recipes, and you can even sign up for money saving coupons.

Kathy P said...

To preserve freshness, milk should be stored between 33˚F and 40˚F, which is typical for a household refrigerator. Milk will spoil more rapidly if unrefrigerated for even a short amount of time. Every hour that milk is above 40˚F will decrease its life by one day.
