When I was a kid I remember just how good a cold Capri Sun pouch tasted on a hot summer day! It was one of the beverages that my mom always kept in the refrigerator for me that was “mine”, that was a must have when packing my lunch for school. I kept the tradition going and like to keep a box of Capri Sun in my fridge for my kid’s lunches and something they can quickly grab when they get home from school and are thirsty!
On a recent shopping trip this month to Walmart I stocked up on Capri Sun for my kids. I didn’t buy the regular Capri Sun like I normally buy, this time I purchased a couple boxes of the Capri Sun Sport, a NEW flavored water beverage that is available in a variety of flavors including Citrus Rush, Fruit Frenzy and Grape Blast. What makes the Capri Sun Sport pouches different than the regular pouches is they are made with a blend of water + electrolytes. These new pouches make it easy for moms like me to keep their children hydrated on these hot summer days when they are wanting to play outside!
I live in California where we experience MANY triple digit heat days during July, August and sometimes even September. I know my son LOVES running around that school playground on recess with his friends so instead of packing a water bottle for his snack, I am going to pack a Capri Sun Sport pouch in his backpack on the days I know it is going to be HOT!
While shopping at Walmart I also grabbed a couple of the 3-pack boxes of the new P3 Protein Snacks With Planters that include nuts, jerky and seeds. The P3 Portable Protein Packs are available with different combinations and are PERFECT for those looking for a snack that is full of protein! I grabbed a box with Original Beef Jerky but couldn’t pass up the box with the Maple Glazed Ham Jerky! My daughter said we had to try both.
I LOVE that these new P3 Protein Packs have 13 grams of protein and that the Capri Sun Sport pouches have 25% fewer calories than regular sports drinks. Both of my youngest children were excited to try these two new products (along with mom) and even asked if could buy more once they were gone. The Fruit Frenzy is now a family favorite!
These Capri Sun Sport and P3 Protein Snacks together make a great on-the-go beverage/snack combo, especially for those moms that have children involved in after school sports that need a quick and easy way to keep their child both ready and refreshed!
5 EASY Tips for Keeping Kids Hydrated This Summer
- Serve a beverage with every meal and snack.
- Freeze water bottles which makes them more interesting and refreshing
- Serve sports drinks like Capri Sun Sport to replenish electrolytes that can be beneficial if your child plays sports.
- If your child finds water to be boring add fruit like strawberries or lemon or maybe even both to give water some flavor.
- Freeze juice or sports drinks in your ice cube trays and let them eat it!
