Healthy Snacks | Mommy Ramblings

If you find yourself running around a lot more these days, you can tell, we are full swing into spring. It seems like every day we are running somewhere, and usually a few minutes behind when I realize my little guy is going to need a snack at brother’s t-ball game or something similar. This is the time I want to be able to reach for something healthy that he can munch on the go. If you find yourself in similar situations, then you will be happy to hear what I am going to share. I was recently picked to take part in a Musselman’s Applesauce Review and Giveaway. I was sent an assortment of Musselman’s delicious applesauce products. Musselman’s is also on Pinterest with great recipes that you can use their applesauce in to whip up healthy treats for when you are on the go during the busy spring and summer months. Recipes like Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies, Chewy Fruit Bars, Fruit & Nut Trail Cookies and so many more. You can search through all of the recipes HERE. Or follow Musselman’s on Pinterest HERE.

We chose to make the Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies first. They were super easy to make and they taste very cake like more than cookie, kind of like a muffin top. Super delicious, sweet and soft. I can’t wait to try the Chewy Fruit Bars and Fruit & Nut Trail Cookies.
