(Giveaway) Plum Organics Amazing Afterschool Essentials

Plum Organics Bag 1
So happy to be a Featured Plum Organics blogger! While this is a sponsored conversation, all opinions are my own.

Plum Organics knows how busy and crazy it can be when it comes to those few hours right after school. There is sports practice, homework, dentist appointments, errands to run and the kids are always hungry. (Mine are of course starving.) 

Plum Organics asked me about my “afterschool essential” items for my kids. The answer was simple, easy to serve snacks they love (such as, Plum Organics Slam Dunx) and a Kindle Fire. These are hands down the most important thing I need to make life easier until dinnertime!

My boys are avid readers. They were reading so many books that I was running out of room on the bookshelves. Their Kindle Fire’s have been the greatest asset when it comes to getting their reading done on the go. Regardless of where we are, the Kindle helps complete their schoolwork at a decent time and provides entertainment when necessary. 

With the Kindle in their lap and Slam Dunx in their hands, I rarely get complaints about making several stops before coming home. That is something this Mom loves.

Plum Organics recognizes what it takes to make the afterschool routine a little more pleasurable. As a result, they are sponsoring this amazing Afterschool Essentials Gift Bag. You too can win a Kindle Fire!! Is that not awesome? This bag was packed by Mom’s so you can guarantee it is filled with everything you need.

  8. We are big on after school smoothies made with bananas and almonds or coconut milk, some plain non fat yogurt, berries, peanut butter and when in season, (here’s the super secret delicious ingredient…big black frozen grapes…awesome substitute for ice!) Along with being a wonderful nutritious after school treat, these smoothies allow for non-rushed dinners, as tummies are well satisfied for at least a couple of hours after drinking one of them!

  24. We have always been fans of Plum Organics. It is definitely an after school snack essential in our home. As a mom of 4, Plum Organics makes it really easy to get essential nutrients into my kids diets in a fun and easy way. Great for small hands and super convenient. We love the Fruit Shredz!

  26. My daughter is so social that she usually talks through lunch at school and eats what I packed for her when she gets home. Sandwich, fruit, something to drink, a side/snack such as yogurt or crackers, and a sweet or cookie or some such is a typical lunch/after school snack.

  30. My grandchild had his head in the fridge from the moment he walked into the kitchen looking for fruit. When I go to the store I just buy some of everything in the fruit dept. as I haven’t found a fruit he doesn’t love.

  31. My grandson loves fruit, crackers and cheese. The sharpest cheese I can find is his preference. I cannot find “Plum Organics” in my part of the country. When are they coming to the south?

  50. My 14 yr old daughter is always starving when she gets home. I want her to eat a healthy snack that will hold her until dinner. Usually a yogurt, apple or sometimes a bowl of Cheerios even. Usually she only drinks water or tea, occasionally soda. I would love to win so I could introduce new healthy snacks to her! Healthy isn’t always good, but these looks yummy!!!

  55. I go to one school or another almost every day, spending time with kids as part of my job (When did those kindergarten chairs get so low???). What I always want when I get “home” to the office after school is a nice, long drink of cool water.

  56. The perfect afterschool activity is a wonderful healthy snack of fruit and protein such as apples and yogurt. And doing something fun like a game or art to recoop from a long day! Thanks for all of your yummy recipes!!!

  57. My daughter’s after school essential item is a sweet treat! She’s in school all day, plays after school at the play ground for about an hour and that’s the first thing she asks for every day when we get home.

  62. A handful of almonds to hold off hunger while I start to get dinner ready. If it’s a really good day, a glass of wine while I cook too 🙂

  90. my grandkids will grab any fresh fruit …then we’ll sit outside in the garden either picking what’s ripe, planning what to plant next or preparing spots for trying new fruits or veggies…all organic of course… this has become a ritual for us.

  94. Our after school essential is conversation, water, and snacking on fruit. This is a practice I started with my son is grade school and is still going strong through high school.

  103. Like others say, a snack is pretty essential after school. Fresh air isn’t really an item, but it’s also an essential after being cooped up outdoors if the weather is decent.

  109. I would have to say pajama pants is something that must be ready when my son gets home from school. He likes to be comfortable when he has to do homework. Oh and snuggle time with his dog River. Then he goes for the snacks in the fridge 🙂

  119. We are the only growing people in our home, but I do like to have veggies with hummus and some salad fixins at 4 pm each day and cups of hot green mandarin orange tea to sit back and relax at 4 pm a traditional teatime in england…love your blog, your recipes are wonderful we live not too far from your winery and farm..have a wonderful fall and holidays too!

  121. As fast as my 6 year old gets off the bus and in the door I try to have a snack in her hand – hungry= grumpy, snack-filled = happy! Start with a string cheese, then a fruit, and if we’re lucky, homework goes without a hitch.

  124. Honestly, the essential snack item is probably a glass of milk, because anything will go with it. A sliced apple, a banana, a handful of cookies, a few graham crackers, etc. As long as we have the milk, I can find something to pair with it to make my hungry kids happy until meal time rolls along.

  128. Our after-school essential item is the printed after-school routine that I have up on the wall above where the kids put their backpacks. It ensures that they get everything unloaded and put away, wash hands, etc.

  153. Some after school essentials in our home are a good snack such as crackers, cheese and fruit or yogurt and granola and some down time.
    If it’s nice we go outside and if not we curl up and read a book together or make some crafts.
    To me a couple of hours of down time is essential before beginning homework.
