Everybody wins when you make Hawaiian BBQ wings for the Big Game! We glaze ours with sauce made from Apple & Eve Organics Apple Juice and serve with grilled pineapple.
Sip some Apple & Eve and reflect with a sweet New Year’s time capsule craft (then resist opening for the whole year!)
If you’re looking for the Ginocchio family, you might find them pirouetting off to a ballet lesson or jetting to their next travel destination. Staying connected to their culture is part of their family DNA: mom Natasha is originally from Cuba and dad Gino is originally from Peru, so they make time to show their daughters Valeria and Andrea their heritage through their travels. Last year, they got to experience Carnival in Cuba for the first time, which brought their love of dancing and travel together, a huge treat for both the girls!
For a busy family like the Ginocchios, it’s challenging enough to pack a lunch to please everyone when you’re on home turf. But as any parent can tell you, packing kid-friendly meals and snacks when you’re traveling can be a tricky balance. And if your kiddo is a bit picky about what they like to eat? That’s a full-on lunchtime conundrum for many moms and dads.
Valeria is one such picky eater, so the Ginocchios are always on the lookout for food that she’ll be excited to eat but will also give her the nutrition she needs (and have energy for all their favorite activities). And since there’s two little ones in the house to please, it’s double-effective if it’s a snack or lunch that Andrea will also enjoy.
One go-to that’s become a staple for their family: Apple & Eve Organics Apple Juice.
“It gives her exactly what she wants, but it doesn’t have the added sugar,” says Natasha, who will often serve Apple & Eve in a lunch bag or pack juice boxes when they travel. She feels great when she’s able to give Valeria something she looks forward to drinking, with the added promise of 100% organic goodness. As a bonus, Andrea loves apple juice as well, so both girls are happy.
And that’s all part of the give-and-take of parenthood. Between travel, life at home, and two active little girls, the Ginocchios have found a great balance that really works for their family. “It’s a winning combination,” says Natasha. We couldn’t agree more.
The Childress family lives in Dallas, Texas and loves to stay active, from taking hikes in their local park to running around the backyard with their dog. One thing that makes everything a bit different for them: they have triplets!
Their kids Ollie, Quinn, and Zoey are 6 years old, and all have distinct personalities. For Mom and Dad, it’s important to them that all three kids are able to develop independence and retain what makes them unique, even though they’re all the same age and look so much alike. While the family loves to hang out all together, each kiddo also has specific activities they love, from baseball to soccer to piano lessons.
When their parental priority is all about letting their kids explore what they want to explore, they need a way to keep everybody happily hydrated. And they trust Apple & Eve Cool Waters to do the job. It’s water flavored with just a splash of USDA certified organic fruit juice, so kids love the taste as much as parents love the quality.
“Cool Waters works well for our family because it’s got less than 4 grams of sugar per box. We know it’s going to be organic and know it’s going to be good for them,” says dad Justin.
“Making sure that we have water that they’re going to want to drink is really important,” adds mom Christine. Another reason Cool Waters is great for the Childress family: there are three distinct and delicious flavors (Strawberry, Tropical Punch, and Cherry), so each of the kids can pick their favorite!
These days, parenting is never one-size-fits-all, especially when you’ve got triplets to think about. Cool Waters is one solution that’s making the equation a little simpler. “It’s easy to say yes to,” says dad Justin. We couldn’t agree more.
The Kleimans are a fun-loving bunch. On any given afternoon, you might find them tumbling on their backyard trampoline, dancing in the kitchen, or playing dress-up (made even better by the fact that Mom’s a makeup artist!). They’re the life of the party at neighborhood birthday celebrations and love to make their own fun wherever they go.
It’s no surprise, then, that the Kleiman kiddos Jax and Frankie both have lots of energy. Their parents know it’s important to keep them hydrated. But it can be tough to convince them to take a break to drink water, especially when water is a lot less exciting than, say, a really good game of tag. Mom used to add water to juice to keep the sugar content low, but that wasn’t the easiest solution for their always-moving crew. That’s when Apple & Eve Cool Waters saved the day.
Cool Waters are easy-to-drink flavored waters that come in a box just like regular juice. Mom and Dad love it because it’s sweetened with just a splash of organic fruit juice, so there’s only 4 grams of sugar per box. And Jax and Frankie love it because of yummy flavors like Tropical Punch and Strawberry.
“Cool Waters is such a perfect product for our family,” says mom. And when parents and kids both agree on something…that’s a win-win.
As for all those birthday party invites? The Kleimans roll up with a cooler full of juice boxes to save the day not just for their family, but for the whole neighborhood. Now every active kid can get the hydration they need along with the flavor they actually like. So there’s never a reason to pause a single game of hide and seek.
The Allen family is all about community, and those values are reflected in everything they do. One tradition they love that helps bring everybody together: Sunday dinners. Every Sunday, they gather with their extended family, Grandma and Grandpa included, and have a big meal. Everyone has the chance to catch up, to relax, and to come together over good food and even better conversation.
It’s one way they’re taking their family values and putting them into practice for their two boys, August and Ellis. But their fun family traditions don’t stop there. Mom says the boys have recently taken to music. She’ll put on music every night after they eat, and they’ll jam out on the guitar and dance around the living room (Bruno Mars is their favorite).
For these two energetic little boys, it’s important to keep nutrition top of mind. And the Allens turn to Apple & Eve 100% juice to make sure they’re giving their boys the best when it comes to juice!
When it comes to what the boys eat and drink, keeping ingredients simple and wholesome is top priority. “We choose Apple & Eve because it checks all the boxes for me with regards to no artificial flavors or colors,” says dad Sean. Every box of Apple & Eve 100% juice contains a day’s recommended serving of vitamin C, and no added sugar.
Mom April adds, “I love that it has the vitamin content that we need, and the taste is great for the kids as well.”
That’s a win for the whole family. So they can keep on doing what they love, building community, and creating new family traditions for years to come.
