Libby's products, the choice of generations, are the nation's third largest brand. With over 60 different products and sizes - from 8 oz. Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and 6 oz. Diced Peaches to 108 oz. Cut Green Beans and 23 oz. Fruit Medley - Libby's offers among the industry's most complete line of canned fruits and vegetables. Since canned sealed-in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are just as good for you as fresh-picked, make Libby's part of a delicious and healthy diet for you and your family.
This is shocking, but when you ask my boys if they want candy or fruit, they actually answer fruit!!
I am so glad that they choose healthy foods now. With the obesity rate so high, and health problems because of it at a scary level, I want my kids to make good choices.
Recently Libby's sent me some of their delicious fruit cups for the boys to try.
Doug got a hold of one and ate it in about two minutes flat! He loved it and wanted more!!
Besides the fact that these fruit cups have 100% of your daily Vitamin C, I am in love with how secure they are. With a hard plastic container, metal rim, and a thick plastic cover, these are kid friendly cups!!!
I usually do not send Ben to school with a fruit cup for a snack because they break easily. With the Libby's fruit cups, I am sure that his snack will be secure until snack time!!!
Libby's is also an extremely generous company. I am excited to attend an event tomorrow where soccer star Brandi Chastain will give a check for $5000 to the North Providence Youth Soccer Association!!
Ben Sr and I both played soccer in school (we were both goalies) and Ben Jr now plays!!

Here are some great tips. Thank you Brandi.
Brandi’s Kid Friendly Tips for Healthy Living:
Hydrate to perform great. Kids should drink water before, during AND after exercise. While exercise generates heat and increases the body’s core temperature, water works to bring body temperature back to the normal 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Let your child pick out a colorful water bottle to make drinking water fun!
Always make time for healthy meals. The USDA says that half our plates should be filled with colorful fruits and veggies, but when your children are constantly running from school to practice and back, it can be tough to get them to eat that perfect meal. Add Libby’s® Single Fruit Cups, which contain one complete serving of fruit, to your children’s bags for an easy and nutritious snack.
Sleep is important! Children should receive an average of eight hours of sleep each night. Without enough sleep children get cranky and lazy, and will not perform to their full potential during school, practice or games. Help your children stick to a regular sleep schedule by making bedtime fun – read them a story or sing a song while they fall asleep.
Turn exercise into a family affair. When exercising is a solo act, it can sometimes feel like a chore. Bring the whole family on-board and make exercising fun, family time! Join your kids in a game of soccer, Double Dutch or kickball.
Lead by example. When you set a good example, your kids are more likely to follow. Although it’s easy to stop at the drive-thru on the way home from practice, make an effort to eat well and live a healthy lifestyle. Become a role model by exercising regularly and eating healthy foods, like Libby’s Canned Fruits and Vegetables, with your children. It’s easier when you make it a team effort!
If you can make it to North Providence tomorrow, it would be great to see you there!!!
