Slammers aren't just for kids!! Grownups love them too!

By Bronwyn Velazquez September 1, 2018

 We had the opportunity to try Slammers Super Fruit Snacks. We were sent a box of Slammers and our whole family was excited to try them. We are all big fans of applesauce in a pouch, but this takes that to a whole new spectrum. Oh the taste!! It's literally like a liquified fruit roll up! Which it makes it perfect for on the go snacking. Here is a little more info on them. "Research shows school-age kids as the most prolific snackers in today's market (a whooping 70% of their eating occasions are snacks). Perfect for Back-to-School lunches and after school sports, Slammers Super Food Snacks were created to be delicious instant organic fuel for active kids."


  

  They come in different flavors with cool names that your Teens will especially love. Like EPIC, AWESOME, AMPED and CHILL'N. Here is a break down of some of the flavors. 

  • Watermelon Kiwi Burst (7 grams of protein per pouch) – strawberry, kiwi, watermelon, apple, banana & beet 
  • Pomegranate Grape Crush (7 grams of protein per pouch) – grape, pomegranate, coconut, apple, banana & purple carrot 
  • EPIC – mangoes, bananas, oranges, carrots, Greek yogurt & real vanilla 
  • AWESOME – bananas, blueberries, strawberries, beets, acai, amaranth (a highly nutritious gluten-free grain)
  • CHILL’N – bananas, blueberries, butternut squash, Greek yogurt & yumberry
  • AMPED -- apple, strawberry, cherry and chia 


 


  They are perfect for your littles back to school lunches, but they are also perfect for your teens lunches and snacks. They have been the biggest hit with my high school athlete and his team mates. My son likes his cold, so we now keep some in the fridge. Every run to Target, we pick some up. It's sometimes hard to find something that is healthy and fun for your kids to enjoy. I have a picky 5 year old and a semi picky 15 year old. And they have been a HUGE hit for both!! 



  The Slammer love does not just stop with the kids, The adults LOVE them TOO!! My husband keeps a box in his locker and on his desk at work. They were a hit at the gym, our Highway Patrol station, and with dance Moms! We as adults are always on the go, picking up our kids, taking them to sports or classes or running errands after work. This is the perfect option to keep with you, and beat the urge to stop in the drive thru. Our local Officers took Slammers out with them for the beat and they popped up all over. They loved that they were something they could eat on the go, they are healthy, filling and they don't spill all over their uniforms. How awesome is that?!?! 


 

  If you wondering where to buy these little pouches of awesomeness, you can pick some up for yourself and your family at Target, Safeway, Kroger, Costco and Walmarts near you!! I really think they they will be a hit for your family! Give them a try today! Learn more about Slammers on their website or find them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
