Abound: New Healthy Snack Line at CVS! {+ a Giveaway!}

We are SIX weeks away from the first day of kindergarten for my twins.  I am filled with mixed emotions.  First of all, how are my babies 5 already?!  Kindergarten is FULL DAY now and this will be so strange for our family.  Gabby is over the moon happy, of course.  She gets Mama to herself for over 6 hours!

I'm trying to make lists and get prepared for the fall, but it's almost impossible with this crazy jam packed summer.  We are becoming road trip pros at this point.  Maddie knows she needs her throw up bag (TMI?), Olivia gets the books and entertainment and Gabby gathers up the stuffed animals (or "loveys" as we call them).  Teamwork!  They are actually really good in the car, which I'm so thankful for!  We are heading to Niagara Falls and New Hampshire in a few weeks and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they will continue to be great road trippers!

When you're on a long trip, the last thing you want is to fill your stomach with crap.  You will get tired and cranky, I promise.  I love healthy snacks that you can eat every few hours to keep you fueled. Apples, bananas, yogurt (in a cooler, of course), almonds and granola bars are always on my list.
Love their mission!

After hearing about the new healthy line of snacks at CVS: Gold Emblem Abound, I was curious!  All of the snacks are free of artifical preservatives and flavors--sounds perfect for our family!   I love the idea of having healthy snacks at a lower price point.  Also, you can find a CVS almost anywhere...perfect for road trips when you need a quick snack.  Luckily for us, they sent us some goodies (and you'll have a chance to win some too!).

The girls are OBSESSED with the fruit and veggie bars, which I also had to try because they smelled AMAZING.  Mango + Strawberry is my favorite fruit combo!  The popcorn was gone in less than an hour during our movie night.  I'm very impressed with the selection!  If you're dying to check out the Abound snacks, here's a link for a coupon.  I have noticed they have been on sale for 25% off the past few weeks too! Score!

I'm thinking these snacks will also be great for packing lunches.  What the heck do you pack everyday? I'm going to need help on that front very soon!

Since I thought you all would love these healthy snacks as much as we do, I've set up a giveaway for you!  I don't endorse anything that I can't stand behind!  Check out the giveaway below!

I love fresh berries!

I havent tried any of those yet. Looks delish!

When school starts I hope to find a cheaper version of the yum box, with dividers and stuff. I think it will be helpful. It will be hard to find a balance, I'm sure!!

I love plain dates--it's easy to eat too many, though!
