GoGo squeeZ the Perfect on the Go Snack!

After a long day at school, even work, we come home and look for a snack. I like to have on hand more easy to eat snacks, a great one is GoGo squeeZ. GoGo squeeZ comes in many flavors of applesauce which makes it easy to find something for everyone. 

Some of my kids favorites of GoGo Squeez are:

AppleCinnamon: A spicy spin on a true original, applecinnamon GoGo squeeZ takes our original tasty applesauce and adds a bit of zesty cinnamon goodness. It’s simply the go-to healthy snack for every kid on the GoGo.

AppleGrape: Apples and grapes aren’t just healthy, they’re delicious too — especially when they are mixed together in a GoGo squeeZ applesauce pouch. Punch up your kiddo’s snacking-on-the-go with tasty, tangy applegrape GoGo squeeZ.

ApplePear: Outdoors, indoors or on-the-go, applepear GoGo squeeZ is the perfect pairing for any adventure. And you won’t even need a spoon to devour this smooth and scrumptious healthy snack, thanks to our convenient pouches.

Apple Strawberry: Jammed packed with apples, strawberries and yumminess, applestrawberry GoGo squeeZ is a sweet and healthy snack anytime, anywhere. All that lip-smacking fruit in a no-fuss, no-mess pouch – that’s what we call Goodness On The Go.

These are just a few of the 13 flavors of GoGo squeeZ. Recently added to the line of applesauce is a favorite of many kids yogurt! GoGo squeeZ has come out with 3 new flavors. The new flavors of GoGo squeeZ Yogurtz are:

Strawberry:Real scrumptious yogurt and strawberries, never anything artificial. Delivered in our iconic squeezable, portable pouch, GoGo squeeZ YogurtZ can be stored at room temperature until opened! That’s why we’re proud to say it’s, “So Cool, It Doesn’t Have To Be Cold.”

Banana:Real, scrumptious yogurt and bananas, never anything artificial.

Berry:Real scrumptious yogurt and strawberries, blueberries and raspberries (oh my!), never anything artificial. 

It's amazing all the wonderful flavors and options that GoGo squeeZ offers and you can find most grocery stores, retail and so on. The best part for me as a mom of 5 is that I can take them anywhere without worrying about them being cool. I also love how there is NO MESS! You twist the top off (keep if you don't think your child will finish ) then suck out the yummy goodness, twist the cap back on and trash, how wonderfully simple. Check out the line of GoGo squeeZ products by visiting their website here.

Candy Coated Chopscotch

The only thing that ever mattered to Chopscotch was mastering her weapon of choice, the giant axe, while rocking out to her favorite musical idol, Wolfgang. It never bothered her that she was short in stature or that all of the other ghouls in the Underworld laughed at the way she spoke in rhymes as she made up her own lyrics to Wolfgang’s guitar jams. So when Wolfgang joined the villainous Doom Raiders, she was devastated. But instead of letting it destroy her, she chose to put her axe skills to good use, and fought Wolfgang and his Moon Goons when they attempted to curse her entire town during an evil concert. Her willingness to stand up to her long time hero came as a surprise to everyone, and soon all of the villagers were speaking in rhymes in her honor. Soon after, she met Master Eon, who was so impressed at her fighting abilities and positive outlook that he recruited her as a Sensei for the Smasher Class. Now she teaches new Skylanders how to fight… and how to rhyme!

Enjoy your Candy this Halloween with Great Expressions Dental Centers!

Halloween is just around the corner, which means what can you do to both prevent and allow your kids to enjoy their candy without the worry of bad teeth. Here are some great ways not to worry as much when you find out your kids got into that candy that they got during the holiday. 

It’s that time of year when the neighborhood children turn into vampires, ghosts and goblins that are hungry for Halloween snacks. Houses turn haunted for the night and adults gets ready to pass out candy. However, once the night is over and the creatures are put to bed, sugar turns into plaque that can permanently damage teeth.

This year, Great Expressions Dental Centers wants you to be the neighborhood superhero by knowing these simple facts and following a few simple tips to make your Halloween a safe and healthy one.

FACT: Sticky candies, such as caramel and taffy, increase the chances of broken brackets the day after Halloween.

TIP: To prevent this from happening to your child, or a neighbor, pass out individually-wrapped stringed cheese instead! Cheese is tasty and its calcium and phosphates help neutralize plaque acid, and ultimately reduces cavities. It will also play nice with brackets.

FACT: 73% of kids ages 2 -5 will eat candy on Halloween. The highest consumption rate, however, is among 6 – 8 year olds, 87% of which eat candy on Halloween.

TIP: Avoid letting your trick-or-treaters fill up on sweets. Before sending your little vampire out to trick-or-treat, let them snack on fruits and vegetables. Jack-o Lantern oranges and carrot fingers are fun and festive snacks for your appetizer table.

FACT: Sweets that are chewy and sticky can get stuck between teeth, leading to tooth decay.

TIP: Be sure to run from gummy candy, sour candies, and taffy. Instead pass out sugar-free lollipops and hard candies, sugar-free gum, and dark chocolate.
