I'm a Chiquita Mom! Plus Prizepack Giveaway!! (5 Winners!!)

With all the crazy schedules we moms deal with, sometimes we neglect to take care of our nutritional needs!! Foods like Chiquita Bananas are great healthy snacks that will give you the energy you need to be on the go! And the banana is so versatile, you can use it in all sorts of great recipes! Keep the foods new and fresh to make it easier to snack healthy! As a Chiquita Mom, I have all the inside scoop on the best ways to eat your bananas! 

So whats a Chiquita Mom? It is a mom who knows how important good nutrition is for her child.  From first foods to after school snacks, she knows that her child needs proper nutrition to grow and develop properly.  She wants to be sure she is giving her child the best foods possible.  And she is on the lookout for ways to bring her family closer together and spend quality time together!

I know that bananas are a great source of complex carbs, which are the best kind of energy to fuel your body! This is great for anyone of any age, and helps give you the energy you need!  This is especially a great way to start off the morning!  There is a significant amount of fiber in bananas, so you can be sure your child will be full and focused at school!

And bananas are one of the easiest fruits to eat! Simply peel and enjoy! And the best part is, they can be enjoyed at almost any point of ripeness! The greener the banana, the healthier the carbs and is higher in starch.  The riper the banana, the sweeter!!  I love bananas that get pretty brown for making banana bread! My secret is to use whole wheat flour to make it an even healthier snack! This is one treat that doesn't last long at all in my house!

Did you know you can save bananas in the freezer?  Peel the bananas, cut or break into 4-6 pieces, and place in a freezer bag, marked with the date you freeze it.  Store for up to 2 months!  They are easy to use in  your favorite recipe, simply let it thaw out! You can buy over ripe bananas (which are usually on sale) and save them for your favorite treat!

I was so excited to be selected as a Chiquita Mom! I think it is great to be recognized by such a great company, as a mom who loves to do my job! I am very proud to be a resource to other moms, and to help you out when it comes to your children! Nutrition is one of the most important things when it comes to our kids! It is up to us to be sure our little ones get the right foods!!
