Fuel your star athlete with delicious products from Honey Maid

Have you been watching the World Cup? Do you have a second favorite team as I’m sure the U.S. was your #1 favorite team.

My family and I have watched it here and there. I rather play soccer than watch soccer.

I used to play soccer when I was younger. I was the goalie. I think that is because I was bigger than most of the other girls and therefore more “menacing” looking. I’m pictured above – the unhappy looking one on the left in the back.

I loved playing soccer. My mom forced me to play softball too but soccer was my “love”. I played it for four years and enjoyed each and every moment of it. Of course we didn’t play like they do at the World Cup. Those players do some amazing things and they are fast.

One thing that was a must at all practices and games was plenty of water and snacks. We needed to keep hydrated and fueled.

Whenever possible my mom and the other team moms and dads would bring snacks for all the kids. Fresh fruits (especially watermelon) were always great as well as veggies like baby carrots. As yummy as they were they were not always convenient. They had to be kept cold and as you know fruits can get very sticky and no one wants fruit juice all over their hands or uniform.

The best kinds of snacks are those that are non-perishable and are easy to tuck inside a duffle bag or tote bag.

One of my all time favorite snacks when I played soccer was Honey Maid Graham Crackers with peanut butter. Mmmm!!! I still enjoy them as a snack today.

I love that they are available in different flavors. The cinnamon flavor is my favorite.

Honey Maid has other great “on the go” snacks that are perfect for pre and post soccer games (or any other sport/activity you and your child do).

Honey Maid Grahmfuls are my new favorite. Have you tried them yet? They are oh-so-good! They are similar to the Honey Maid Graham Crackers & Peanut Butter my mom used to give me for my pre and/or post game snack except these are already filled with delicious fillings. They are individually packaged too.

The current available flavors are S’mores, Peanut Butter & Chocolate, Banana Vanilla Creme, Strawberry Yogurt Crème and Cinnamon Creme. The S’mores are out of this world delicious! I had to hide the box from my kids because they would have gobbled up the whole box in one day.

In addition to the kids (and adult) friendly flavors, Honey Maid Grahmfuls are made with real Honey Maid graham crackers. They are made with 100% whole grain (10g whole grain per serving), and contain real honey and no high fructose corn syrup.

Another great pre and post game treat (or snack) are Honey Maid Teddy Grahams.

I have a funny story about Honey Maid Teddy Grahams. Many years ago (about 20 years ago) I was getting together with friends for the holidays. I baked a sheet cake and decorated it to look like the woods in the winter. I covered sugar cones in frosting and decorated them to look like Christmas trees. I also added a piece of foil to the center to look like a lake that had iced over. I also took several Teddy Grahams and decorated them with cake icing to look like mini-ice skaters and used them to decorate the cake. I put A LOT of work into the cake and I thought it looked great (as did my friends).

I had the cake on my friend’s counter top, near the sink. Someone washed their hands in the sink and accidentally hit the florescent light above the sink and it fell down and crashed into the sink. Shards of glass went everywhere – including all over my cake! Needless to say no one ever had the chance to enjoy the cake.

Honey Maid Teddy Grahams have come a long way since then. I think there were only two flavors to my recollection. These days Teddy Grahams are available in flavors like Mixed Berry, Strawberry Banana and Apple as well as Honey, Chocolate and my favorite, Chocolate Chip.

Did you that the fruit flavors (Apple, Strawberry Banana and Mixed Berry) are mad with real fruit?

Teddy Grahams are a good source of iron, calcium and zinc and contain 8 grams of whole grains per serving. They are also low in saturated fats and don’t contain any cholesterol. You can feel good about feeding your future World Cup MPV these yummy snacks.

You can put a handful of Teddy Grahams into snack size bags that way your little athlete can easily grab a bag and go. You also don’t have to worry about them melting on the side lines in you tote bag. Gramfuls are individually wrapped.
