This blog post is part of a paid SocialMoms and Mott’s blogging program. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own.
Summer is now officially in full swing and we are taking advantage of every long day while we can. With the warm weather, I’ve been spending most of my days outside with the kids and each day is a fun adventure! We have checked off a lot from our Summer Bucket List including fishing, water gun fights and making our own sidewalk chalk!
Whether we are on the go or lounging around our back yard, I want to make sure that my son stays hydrated. Sometimes it’s hard to get him to drink water, which is why I’m so happy to have discovered Mott’s new juice drinks! It’s the perfect everyday drink and I love that it has no artificial sweeteners and made with real fruit juices.
Hayden is loving the new Mott’s juice drinks which include flavors like Fruit Punch Rush and Wild Grape Surge. When I asked him which was his favorite, he said he just couldn’t decide – they are both too good! I tried them myself too and I’m going to admit that the Wild Grape Surge is my favorite – so much that I make sure that we always have some in our traveling snack bag. I love that Mott’s juice drinks are available in both a 64 ounce bottle for the fridge and convenient 8 ounce bottles for on the go. Plus, that 8 ounce bottle is one FULL serving of fruit* for your child!
Your kids will think they are getting an everyday treat, but us parents will know better. The new Mott’s juice drinks taste great but have 40% less sugar than fruit juices** and 100% daily value of vitamin C.
When I think that I’ve only got 13 more summers with my son until he’s 18 and maybe going off to college – and even less summers where he will want to hang out with his family everyday – I want to make sure that he remembers his summers as full of fun and great memories.
Hayden absolutely loves popsicles so is there a better treat than homemade popsicles made with Mott’s Fruit Punch Rush ! I’m a huge fan of EASY and there’s nothing easier than these!
