Have a Happy, Healthy Easter with CLIF Kid

The Easter Bunny is hopping into back yards everywhere, in just 2 weeks! I don't know about you, but with Christmas and Valentine's and St. Patrick's Day, my kids are all candied out.  Let me rephrase that:  I'M all candied out.  My kids will eat sweet treats any time, but for the sake of their teeth and their bodies, I'm hoping the Easter Bunny keeps all the candy hidden and gives my kids a healthier Easter Basket!

Fortunately, it's not that difficult to make up an Easter Basket filled with healthier or non-food treats.  Here are some suggestions for Easter Basket fillers:

* Many popular toy brands sell Easter-themed toys inside plastic eggs, such as Playmobil, Play-Doh, Barbie,  Hot Wheels and more. These are a bit more expensive than the usual plastic toy fillers, but they don't get thrown away!
* Hide erasers or quarters or dollar coins or stickers inside Easter Eggs
* Hide Goldfish crackers inside plastic Easter Eggs
* Add a plush bunny or chick
* Add CLIF Kid Zfruit twists instead of jelly beans
* Add chocolate CLIF Kid Zbars instead of chocolate eggs

CLIF Kid snacks make a great healthy alternative to jelly beans, chocolate eggs and chocolate bunnies because they're sweet treats made with good-for-you ingredients like whole grains and real fruit.  My kids are just as happy with a CLIF Kid Chocolate Brownie Zbar or a CLIF Kid Crispy Chocolate Zbar as they are with chocolate candy bars!  They love the sweet, chocolatey taste, and I love the sustained energy the bars give, versus the sugar highs and lows you get from candy.  The same thing goes for CLIF Kid Zfruit -- they are just as sweet and chewy as gummy fruit snacks or fruit roll ups, but they're made from 100% real fruit.

Here's more information about CLIF Kid snacks that the Easter Bunny doesn't need to hide.  Happy Easter!
