We are just getting back from soccer practice. The kids have run hard for over an hour and they are so hungry. Most of the time my kids reach for snacks and junk to give them a quick fill of their tummies before it is time to get ready for bed. I try and limit their sweet and treats since we don’t need a huge sugar rush right before bed. So what do I give my kids that are refreshing after soccer snack? The new Yoplait Go Big yogurt tubes are a new favorite in our family.
My kids love the tube yogurts because they don’t have to use spoons and can just grab and go. They take them a lot of times for school lunches. I freeze them the night before so that by the time they have lunch they are defrosted perfectly for an icy and refreshing snack. Freezing them is the key! This is also what can make them a refreshing after soccer snack to eat the frozen or partially frozen yogurt tubes. It cools them down and gives them added protein without a massive sugar rush right before bed.
Refreshing After Soccer Snack
The Yoplait Go Big are BIG!! I would say they are about twice the size of the regular tubes at 4 oz. each. The smaller tubes are great for younger kids, but when you have teenagers or just hungry soccer players I love the larger size. Half of the time my kids want a second one of the smaller ones anyways!
My Kids Rock
As I write this I love that I can be around and be present for so many things in my kids lives. Blogging and other jobs have allowed me to stay home and really see the joy of motherhood. I get to see their faces as soon as they are done with school. I get to see them excel in so many ways on the soccer field and in their learning. Though my kids drive me crazy at times, I am blessed to be their mother. I hope that one day they know just how hard their dad and I worked just to make sure that at least one of us was home and present for them. This is a tough world to grow up in and I just have to say that my kids rock and are turning into some pretty cool little people. Do what you can to give your kids the best and that comes in what you feed them as well!
