I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Jif To Go Dippers. I received a sample to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.

I would love to say that I am a completely homemade type of mom, that everything that comes out of my kitchen I slaved over for hours to be able to provide for my kids, but I'm not. And in this day in age I see nothing wrong with it. Now don't get me wrong I have friends that will make completely homemade snacks like fruit leather and more that take at least several hours to complete from start to finish, but I just don't have time for that. I commend them for it, but I just can't. So when I go to the store I am looking specifically for items that fit this criteria:

:: Healthy

:: Mess Free

:: Convenient 

:: Can be eaten on the run 

:: And the last and most important... kid friendly. Something they will actually eat! 

There are a lot of things that fit my first four criteria, but my kids won't eat it or they complain about it; which essentially equals me and my husband eating whatever it is or money down the drain. Either way it's not good. 

Our family in total has been to 31 states in the last 2 years! That's a lot of traveling and a lot of food for everyone so being able to have a easy snack taken care of is huge!

I don't have enough time in the day to spend watching my adorable 4 year old slowly eating his snack and making "good guys and bad guys" out of it. Food time for him turns into a full blown production. So having something he can eat anytime anywhere is a lifesaver.

What I do have time for and a snack that meets all the "demanding mom" criteria are the Jif To Go Dippers. Have you tried them yet? I would love to know what you think. I toss one to the kids as we are heading out the door or to my hubby when he goes on a bike ride. Jif To Go Dippers are also great for adults! My husband loves having something he can stop and quickly eat that gives him energy to keep riding. Now keep in mind he cycles 30-60 miles every time he goes out! So that says a lot about how much he approves of Jif To Go Dippers as a quality snack. 

We also have enjoyed them on the trip we are currently on; right now I am writing you from Martha's Vineyard! We found that Jif To Go Dippers are a great snack to take on the plane and to have when we haven't been close to food options or aren't quite hungry enough for a whole meal. My favorite is the chocolate and my hubbies favorite is the peanut butter and the kids like both. I absolutely love Jif To Go Dippers as an alternative to chips and other unhealthy snacks. Typically when you need a quick snack you will find yourself going for a greasy bag a chips and feeling very unsatisfied afterward, but that's not the case with Jif To Go Dippers. You know that you are getting protein, fiber, potassium and healthy fats when eating peanut butter that you need. I don't know of any other convenient on the go snack that can do that! Be sure to grab Jif To Go Dippers for your "on the go" family!
