These days if your child is participating in any kind of sport you have a very high likelihood that there will be some sort of team snack schedule that you will be a part of for the duration of said sport. We have had our two oldest in soccer and team snacks after every game are a just a part of soccer life. The kids look forward to them after each game. Every child can’t wait for their turn to bring them; kinda like a school birthday, it’s just plain fun to get to pick out the goodies and pass them out to everyone after the game.
As a mom I strive to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle for my family so as much as my kids beg for me to buy donuts when it’s their turn for snack, I just can’t bring myself to do it. Instead I try to find healthier options that are still fun like Capri Sun 100% Fruit Juice Drink. The cool looking pouches alone seal the deal for my kids but the “No Artificial Colors, Flavors, or Preservatives” seal it for me! Let’s face it, Capri Sun is good for moms and awesome for kids because it not only tastes good but is good for them!
Capri Sun also now offers new “clear bottom” drink pouches thanks to feedback from their customers. Now you can see your juice drink before you consume it, which takes away any worry you may have about what may be in your juice drink pouch. You can find the following varieities with clear bottoms:
- Capri Sun Juice Drink
- Capri Sun Roarin’ Waters Flavored Water Beverage
- Capri Sun 100% Juice
- Capri Sun Super V Fruit and Vegetable Juice Drink
Did you know that since 2008, more that 200 million Capri Sun pouches have been collected through the Capri Sun relationship with TerraCycle and have upcycled them into durable goods? And in 2012 Capri Sun invested in creating a new box for their juice pouches remaking them from paperboard instead of cardboard. This change alone resulted in a 30 million pound reduction in packaging in 2012! I love a company that thinks about its environmental impact.
And if you like those numbers, did you know that Capri Sun Roarin’ Waters is an official sponsor of Major League Soccer?! How cool is that! This is the second year Capri Sun is giving kids the ultimate sip of liquid swagger by inviting kids to take on Pro Athletes and win! This year, Capri Sun leveraged the excitement of their MLS sponsorship by gathering together a team of soccer Pros. These guys are some of the best in the league. BUT, when it comes to playing kids in the way kids play… these Pros don’t stand a chance. The Kids vs Pros MLS Soccer Showdown Instant Win Game will send 4 kids, their friends, and families to sunny Orlando, FL, to take on MLS Pros in a live event. At the event, kids will truly stand out by competing in soccer-themed contests where being kid-sized gives them an amusing advantage over the Pros. Plus, there are 1,000s of instant win soccer prizes for daily chances to win.The contest started on July 28th.

New to soccer and I don’t understand the whole snack thing. We have the team snack after soccer is over. Why can’t everyone handle it themselves?
I think it helps build team spirit. If everyone brought their own snack then I think most families would probably just leave and do snack in the car or at home, this way there is a bit of team bonding. Plus everyone gets to thank the child who brought snacks which I think all kids seem to enjoy their 10 minutes of fame, haha!
XO,
Maggie
