Slammers - a snacking home run in our house!

Perfect for back-to-school - in lunchbox or on-the-go snack between school & activities

August 7, 2019


I don’t know about your house, but we hear “Can I have a snack?” many times throughout the day. Not only do they need a snack when we’re at home, but when we’re running errands, on a trip, or headed to practice. While I don’t mind my kids having snacks, I don’t want them eating junk just because it’s easy, so we were really excited to find Slammers in the applesauce aisle at our local grocery store.  Self-contained and no refrigeration necessary! 

My kids have reached the ages where they are capable of getting themselves a snack if there is something easy to grab within their reach, so these healthy, prepacked Slammers are perfect for keeping in the pantry, sports bags, book bags, and even my purse! 

Not only are Slammers easy to grab on the go, but the kids love the flavor options too. Slammers come in 6 fun flavors – with exciting names like “Epic”, “Awesome” and “Amped” and a variety of flavors and textures. “Epic” is orange, mango, Greek yogurt while “Awesome” is bananas, blueberries, strawberries, beets, acai and amaranth.  (You can find the other flavors listed at slammerssnacks.com) Slammers are organic with no artificial colors or flavors and they are all high in antioxidants and proteins – exactly what kids need for a boost of energy between meals.  You can even find Slammers recipes for lasagna, soup, muffins, smoothies and more on their website here.

Bonus - Slammers are not only organic but contain no peanuts and no gluten so these snacks are great for sharing! It’s a relief to be able to offer a healthy, portable snack to my children’s friends without worry about peanut allergies too. Slammers are perfect for lunchboxes, classroom snacks, after school or even to send in for school birthday celebrations! 


We took Awesome Slammers to our local National Night out celebration and they were a hit! Check out these happy faces:
