Review of Libby's Jumbo Cups


If you're feeling the pain of high-priced fresh fruit, I can totally relate. Just last year, we started venturing into the world of pantry-fresh fruit to help fill in the nutrition gap for my kids. With no clue what's going to be on sale each week, having a stash of fruit cups on hand gives me some certainty with my meal planning, and I have to admit -- I love the stuff over cottage cheese!

Libby's Jumbo Cups aren't available in stores until September, but we got some *free samples to give them a try early. Just as yummy as the original Peaches, Pears, Mixed Fruit, and Cherry Mixed Fruit, these fruit cups are much bigger (50% bigger than your typical fruit cup). That makes them perfect for putting into a grown-up's lunch bag (or a really, really hungry 6-year-old's.) And did I mention that the fruit is from California?

I liked serving these cups at lunch time, mostly because I knew it would be enough for my growing 1st-grader and my tween daughter (who usually ask for spendy seconds on the fruit.) I then took one of the jumbo cups and split it between my two youngest, and this was the perfect size for everyone! (I save the empties for just this reason.)

  8. My favorite is the Cherry Mixed Fruit- I really love cherries, and so does my daughter. And the individual servings with individual nutrition information is great for her, as she has diabetes and we have to give her insulin for the carbs she eats. thanks for this giveaway!
