Make Trick Or Treat Healthy For Kids While Supporting World Wildlife Fund
From the time kids are on solid food, it is tough to keep them eating a healthy balanced diet. Chicken nuggets and hot dogs are the bulk of my four year old niece's diet, along with as much cookies, candy, cake and popcorn as she can sweet talk out of the adults in her life. And let me tell you, Aunt Tina is a sucker.
She's an active child, so calories are not an issue. On an average day, she does pretty well. Weekends and vacations are a different story. It can be a challenge to fill her up with balanced nutrition when her mom and I drag her out shopping for the day or all day at the zoo or the children's museum. Packing healthy for the road isn't easy.
As Halloween approaches, Hershey’s and Organic Valley have launched Trick Or Treat Me to get the word out about single serve milk in shelf stable packages. Yes, shelf stable milk. It would be just as easy to pack a kid pleasing chocolate milk for a day trip as a soda or juice box. The only down side is all the extra energy a protein packed beverage like milk will provide - the girl already runs circles around her mom and I after a long day of adventure.
If you are brave enough to chance that kind of thing with your little monsters (hey, it's the season for ghoulish nicknames), you can print coupons for both the Organic Valley shelf stable and Hershey's brand shelf stable milk. Perfect timing to plan a healthy treat for Halloween festivities.
Along with getting milky goodness into kids, Trick Or Treat Me on Twitter has an addictive application to send friends tricks or treats, depending on what they most qualify to receive. For each trick or treat you tweet, the World Wildlife Fund gets a ten cent donation. With everyone on Twitter, those dimes will add up.
And with recyclable paper packaging, shelf stable milk is good for wildlife and your little animals.
