Upgrade Snack Time with Brainiac Brain Squeezers

These tasty, nutrient-infused applesauce pouches make snack time, brain time!

It seems when my kids come home from school they want to eat nonstop until dinner. Both my son and daughter come in from the bus and make a beeline for the fridge. I want to make sure they have snacks that are healthy and nutritious. I worry they aren't getting what they need when they seem to exist on chicken nuggets, waffles, and Ramen. 

I was excited to learn about Brainiac Brain Squeezers, a new kind of squeezable applesauce pouch developed by a team of parents, pediatricians and neurologists to provide key nutrients kids need (but usually aren't getting enough of) to fuel their developing brains.

We love that Brainiac Brain Squeezers help get our two picky eaters the key nutrients they need to fuel their developing brains. Promoting brain health is especially a concern for our youngest, who was born with the genetic condition Down syndrome. His kindergarten teacher used to tell the kids to "kiss your brain." Joey would kiss his palm and then slap his forehead! It was so funny! Giving him a brain squeezer at snack time is like a big kiss to his brain. 

Every Brainiac Brain Squeezer is supercharged with a proprietary BrainPack® to provide meaningful amounts of critical brain-fueling nutrients like 160mg of Omega-3 DHA/EPA, 120mg of choline and 25 mg of immunity boosting Vitamin C. Brainiac pouches are made with US-grown orchard apples and are bursting with flavor – with no added sugars. Picky eater and Mom approved! 

Since we are on the run on the weekends to various activities around town, I am always looking for snacks we can take along with us to cut down on trips through the drive thru. Brainiac Brain Squeezers require no refrigeration, which makes them the perfect healthy snack for lunches, car rides, or wherever your kids need to be.



Recently, Macaroni KID McDonough had the chance to share Brainiac Brain Squeezers with families at a sweet treat Valentine Open House in McDonough. 



Kids and parents alike were eager to try the free sample packs we gave out. Moms and dads were impressed with the added brain boosting nutrients, while kids just loved the great taste. I spoke with a mom who had a child in a stroller who said these are the perfect thing to keep in the diaper bag. 



Meanwhile, a group of tweens enjoyed Brain Squeezers while they did a Valentine painting craft for a quick, no mess treat. 

We had a great time sampling with families!



I am glad my kids enjoyed Brainiac Brain Squeezers, giving me a healthy and tasty option to keep on hand for afterschool snacks, snack time at school, to take to sports and activities, or for car rides. I am even more excited that they can enjoy a snack that is good for their brains, has no added sugars, is non-GMO verified, gluten-free, and has no artificial flavors.



Brainiac Brain Squeezers come in three flavors – apple, strawberry apple, and cinnamon apple. We tried the strawberry apple and it tasted like a strawberry smoothie. Yummy! I'm always sure to have a few in my purse so we always have a healthy snack close at hand when our stomachs start to rumble and I'm looking forward to tasting the other flavors. Pick yours up online or at Walmart Supercenters.
