Fruitification Jumbo Style

Did you know that 7 out of 10 adults don't eat the recommended amount of fruit daily??? "Fruitification of America" is Libby's newest mission to get fruit, and more of it, into everyone's diet!!! I got a sneak peak into this campaign when I (and my kiddos) were recently sent some samples of their new 6oz Jumbo Fruit Cups!!!

Let me say, that I was a little hesitant about the larger size since I hate wasting food, and that is what kids do!! But I had NOTHING to fear!! My kids (and I) loved these and every bit was finished each time, my 2-yr old always finished hers first!

They are perfect for any age (yes, even you adults) because they are larger, more satisfying and account for almost 40% of your daily fruit intake:) Not to mention they are made from fresh California fruit, so they are very refreshing and tasty! We used them for lunches, snacks and even put one into a fruit salad.... yummmy!

What I knew I would like is the sturdier cup... I am the queen of spilling the juice out of fruit cups and being sticky before I ever get to eat my own food. The Jumbo Cups have a higher lip and so all the juice stays in the cup. I didn't have any spills with these:) Since they are sooo sturdy, I refused to throw any of them away and they held up perfectly in the dishwasher.... they are now our new snack cups! (Gotta love "reusing"!)


GET YOUR OWN!! Libby's Jumbo Cups will be on the store shelves in September and come in 4 delicious favorite flavors: Diced Peached, Diced Pears, Mixed Fruit and Cherry Mixed Fruit! (ARP of $3.39)

WIN YOUR OWN!! Libby's is offering one SIMPLE reader a "sneak peak" of these Jumbo Cups as well. The winner will receive 2 cups of each of the flavors to enjoy for themselves:) To enter, share what your flavor you'd like to try:)
