Be a Chiquita Mom Giveaway: 5 Winners

Bananas were my boys’ first food. Yes, even before rice cereal. It was the easiest thing to give them- mash up a banana and there you go.

Even now, each of them eats at least one banana a day. So, yes, that means we go through at least three bunches of bananas a week. But, since they are healthy, I don’t mind.

So, when I was asked to be a Chiquita Mom, it was a perfect fit!

What is a Chiquita Mom?

*She’s a mom who wants to spend as much time with her family as possible, so having a variety of healthy, easy meal and snack options makes her job easier.

*She is busy and needs a healthy energy boost throughout her day.

*She is always looking for fun activities that bring her family together.

Chiquita bananas help her with all of this! Of course you probably know that they are healthy, but do you know just how good they are for you? They have natural sugars and a significant amount of fiber. Two bananas provide enough energy for an instense 90 minute workout!

They only do they have energy boosting traits but they provide important nutrients like potassium which help the body build muscle and improves the body’s ability to absorb calcium, to name a few benefits.

My kids usually eat all our bananas before I get a chance to make anything with them, but there are plenty of recipes with bananas: on our list to make next week are the Banana No Bakes.

Are you a Chiquita Mom?

You can win a Chiquita Moms kit, which includes:
• Chiquita Mom’s Flip Book
• Chiquita Banana Recipe Cards
• Baby-Safe Chiquita Bowl, Cup, Spoon and Fork Set
• Chiquita Moms Grocery Tote Bag
• Chiquita Moms Freezer Bags
• A coupon for FREE Chiquita Bananas

There will be FIVE winners! To enter: If your email is not in your profile, you must leave it with your comment. Winners will be announced on this post and be emailed and have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be chosen. Giveaway will close at 9pm ET on 12/17.  US only, please.

Mandatory Entry: Visit the Chiquita Moms page and tell me something you learned or a recipe you would like to try!

Additional Entries:
*Like the Chiquita Banana facebook page and leave your username
*Follow Things I Can’t Say GFC

    So, the first recipe I saw on the page was for sugar free banana bread. I'm always on the lookout for sugar-free recipes that don't taste like cardboard, so I'd be sure to try that one out! 🙂

    I'm going to try the sugar-free banana bread! Just started up with Weight Watchers again – and it looks like it would be a great staple for me!

    Also… love me bananas, especially now that WW has them at zero points! 🙂

    We go through a lot of bananas! Sadly, neither of my kids like them. 🙁 (They are so picky!), but hubs eats them like crazy. We use them in smoothies, and I love to make banana bread. I visited the site, and I have to say I need to steal your recipe pick! Those no bakes look yummy! I think the chocolate dips looks good too.

    Sadly for me, pregnancy removed my taste for bananas. Crazy, I know. But even more crazy, my daughter could LIVE off of them. She seriously eats like 1-2 daily, if I let her! So I'd love to be a Chiquita mom winner, since we buy so many of them!

    I'd try to make her the quick double chocolate banana shake! We already freeze them for smoothies, but usually end up with other fruits, but chocolate looks like a yum twist!

    Shell, my hubby honestly thinks that bananas are the cure for everything that ails ya. Seriously!

    And enough energy for a 90 minute workout would imply that I might actually work out. Ugh.

    But we sure do go through a lot of bananas around here!
