Del Monte Fruit Cups - Fall inspired!

I tried these a few weeks ago but am just now able to share this information with my readers.

**********************************************************

My girls regularly pack lunches - sandwiches or soups are easy for the main meal.  Selecting snacks that I consider healthy options but are easy and convenient to pack up tends to be a little more challenging.  I try to encourage the girls to pick and pack 1 - 2 snacks that I deem nutritious.  Yogurt, cheese sticks, granola bars, fruit and veggies fall into this category.

Del Monte Foods hopes to make packing lunches easier for kids and parents with the introduction of their newest Fruit Cup® varieties using Fall’s favorite fruits:
-  Diced Pears in extra light syrup with Vanilla & Spice
-  Diced Apples & Pears in extra light syrup with Caramel.
Each cup contains a full serving of all-natural fruit, is an excellent source of vitamin C and contains no high fructose corn syrup.

I was provided with a sample of each for review purposes.  Honestly I was not sure how much I would like these.  I am not a huge fan of over-flavoring food.  Many flavored food items tend to be overpowered by the added flavorings.  I did keep an open mind however and can honestly say that I really liked these.  I thought that the added flavorings were enough to be able to tell what the flavor was but subtle enough not to overpower or ruin the fruit itself.   My middle daughter and youngest daughter loved these also.  My oldest daughter prefers the original Del Monte fruit cups, but overall these were a hit.  I would purchase again for certain.  If you

 Del Monte would like for you to play their new “Flavor Boom” Facebook game. This fun Del Monte game is played by filling up cups of fruit as you select the healthy ingredients that are found in the new Del Monte® Fruit Cup® varieties. You will see apples, pears and vanilla spice appear on your screen. The more cups you fill, the higher your score and the harder the game will get. We would love your help in spreading the news about the “Flavor Boom” Facebook game. You and your readers can visit Del Monte’s Facebook page to play the game, and redeem a $1.00 off coupon, which can be used towards a two-pack of the new Fruit Cup® varieties.

Here’s How to Play:
· Visit the Del Monte Facebook page
· Click on the “Like” button to like the page and access the “Flavor Boom” game graphic tab at the top right of the page.
· Begin the game by selecting either “Pears with Vanilla and Spice” or “Apples and Pears with Caramel”
· Fill up each cup by selecting the correct ingredients as they fly through the air.
· Again, the more cups you fill, the higher your score and the harder it gets.
· After the game is completed, click “Grab a Coupon”
· You will then be prompted to register or login with your contact information (coupon will be ready to be printed at end of registration or login)
