Snack Brighter This Summer + A $100 Visa Giftcard Giveaway!

 
When we first bought our house 3 years ago, one of the things I was most excited about was that our house had a pool in the backyard. Growing up, I always wanted a pool in my backyard.
I am so glad we have a pool because one of my favorite things to do in the summer is to have people over to swim. I love having impromptu pool parties, BBQs and inviting people over to cool off during the hot summer months. 
Because we have a pool, we have a lot of impromptu pool parties, so I always make sure that I have snacks on hand to offer our guests. One thing I ALWAYS have stocked in my freezer is some sort of frozen treat like ice cream sandwiches, popsicles or frozen fruit bars. 
 I was thrilled when Outshine asked me to review their new Fruit Bars they provided me because it is a product that we love and always have on hand in our freezer during the summer months.
You may recognize these fruit bars. 
They are DREYER’S on the west coast and Edy’s on the east coast. 
The DREYER’S (or Edy’s) Fruit Bars you know and love are now called Outshine bars. 
They are still made with real fruit or fruit juice. 
Last summer when I was pregnant with Luke, I craved these fruit bars and had at least one a day (and so did my sister...she even had them for breakfast on really hot days)
 
 Is there anything more refreshing than a frozen fruit bar on a hot summer day?
 It's the perfect poolside snack.
 Refreshing and good for you! Only 40-120 calories (depending on the flavor!)
 Made with real fruit or real fruit juice!
 Yum. 24 different flavors!
 I love the Outshine frozen fruit bars because they are so refreshing and made with real fruit.
 They are delicious. I can guarantee that if you come by my house this summer, we will be in the backyard swimming and enjoying a refreshing frozen fruit bar.
 I am LOVING this new flavor. It's made with Coconut Water and has pineapple chunks in it.
Outshine is teaming up with BlogHer and offering one of you a chance to win a $100 Visa Gift Card! 
To enter,  just leave me a comment answering this question:
“Which Outshine flavor is your favorite or which would you most like to try? 
My favorite is strawberry, with the Coconut flavor a close second!
Happy {almost} summer!

  10. Oh man...lived off of these when I was pregnant. Still have memories of driving to work in May and June and eating one for breakfast at 7:30am. I had the Costco size pack, which included Strawberry, Tangerine, Grape, and Lemon. Shockingly, grape was my favorite (I usually don't like Grape flavored products). Tangerine was my second pick!
