Del Monte recently launched Fruit Burst Squeezers, which are delicious, nutritious, fun, on-the-go snacks.Del Monte’s Garden Quality fruits and vegetables are a perfect addition to any lunchbox or for tossing into your purse as a portable snack.
As a mom, I’m always trying to pack healthy and nutritious foods in my daughter’s lunch box, while also making sure she likes what I’m packing because healthy food is not good if kids won’t eat it.
I like that the Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers offers the goodness of 1 ½ servings of fruits and vegetables, there’s no high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors, they’re an excellent source of Vitamin C, and are gluten-free. They’re nice and fruity-tasting so kids love them, and moms can feel good about them, a win-win. The Fruit & Veggies Squeezers are available in Blueberry, Apple Cinnamon, and Peach Mango. The Fruit-Only Squeezers are available in Mixed Berry and Strawberry.
Del Monte also has a wide array of plastic fruit cups, including Pineapple Coconut. Both my daughter and I love the taste and they fit right into her lunch box containers.
Del Monte is kicking off a back-to-school campaign and I’m giving away one $100 VISA Gift Card! To enter the giveaway, please answer the question, “Do your kids prefer to Squeeze or Spoon?” Share your answer below in the comments section below. Also, if you share a photo of your kids’ favorite Del Monte Squeeze or Spoon snack on the Del Monte Facebook Contest between August 1 and September 1, 2014 you could win one of two $10,000 Grand Prizes for your kids’ school.

My son has always enjoyed his snacks using a spoon but, I’m willing to give DelMonte squeezers a try. Who knows, he might like it.
My daughter likes squeeze & my son likes spoonin’ it & momma loves the healthy choices your brand offers :-)
it totally depends on the day! When I think, grab a squeeze pouch, it’s easiest, that’s for sure the time they’ll pick a spoon and a cup and settle in!
SQUEEZE!!!!!
They definitely prefer squeezies! Which baffles me completely since I will always choose a spoon over a pouch.

At this point, I would say mine prefers a spoon, but I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.
My daughter is starting Kindergarten this year. Is this product something that she could open by herself without assistance? She has good motor skills, but cannot open something like a sealed bottle of water for the first time. Do you think she could open these?
Definitely squeeze!
My lil miss will eat fruit however I give it to her: whole, spoon, or squeeze! But pretty sure she enjoys the novelty of squeezing it out of the pouch the most!

Mmmm we love a spoon and a cold cup of Del Monte fruit straight from the fridge! They’re fresh and delicious just like the day they were picked. After we eat the yummy juicy fruit we love to drink the juice, every drop. Yum! I get hungry just thinking about it :)

My boys really like the squeezes, I do too, less mess, but I also like them cause it’s a fun snack, expecially since 2 of us are gluten and soy free. Finding a fun snack that doesn’t have those two things is a challenge. So these help us so much!!

Both my kids love their “squeezies”. . . my 1 year old in particular. In fact, I packed about a dozen of these for our family trip in Italy, and they were fantastic on the plane, and as snacks in-country. I don’t normally buy things that are “premade”/”prepackaged”, but these have been worth it.
