Danimals New Yo-Tubes & Squeezables Fuels Childhood Adventures

I have partnered with Dannon Danimals to discuss Danimals Yo-Tubes and Danimals Squeezables. I have been compensated for my time. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

    As a mom to three young and very energetic children I know how hard it is to keep up with their appetites and keep their snacks nutritious. That is exactly why I love Danimals! We have always kept the Danimals smoothies in the fridge for the kids and now we get to add Yo-Tubes and Squeezeables.

Danimals sent their new Yo-Tubes and Squeezables to our home to sample and my kids could not have been more thrilled to partake. The fun and lively packaging of the products is extremely attractive to kids and they have no idea they are consuming nutritious food. All they know is that they are enjoying a delicious dairy snack with a burst of fruity flavor. In return they get a surge of excitement and are ready to take on new adventures with their friends. As you can tell from the pictures they enjoyed both products and immediately asked me for more.

One of the best attributes of the Yo-Tubes and Squeezables is that they are easy to place in a lunchbox and contribute to a balanced and nutritious meal. All you have to do is place them in the freezer the night before, pack them in the lunchbox in the morning, and by lunch they are still deliciously cold. It is definitely one snack I know will not come back home with them. As a matter of fact, when they don’t have a Danimals in their lunch box they come home asking me if we need to go shopping for more! During the summer months when the kids ask for popsicles because it’s “SO HOT” outside all we have to do is pull a Yo-Tube out of the freezer, cut the top and there’s the popsicle.

In order for a child to have a well-balanced meal they need a fruit, a vegetable, grains, protein, and dairy. As you may notice from the lunchbox pictured above Danimals fits greatly into that combination. The sandwich made with whole grain bread provides nutritious grains and the 2 ounces of lunchmeat delivers the much needed protein. And then of course we have carrots for vegetable and a banana for fruit. There is the extremely tasty Danimals Yo-Tube which paired with cheese and a carton of milk is the dairy serving. It’s a great combination that my children love.

Because childhood should be a fun and nutritious exciting adventure, I love having Danimals on hand to fuel their journeys, which encourages them to never stop exploring.
