Review: New Starbucks Snack-Fulls
April 15th, 2010
There’s something you should know: I have a problem. I’ve never met a bread I didn’t like. So when things get rough, bread is my default, the bad boyfriend I just can’t leave. And lately we’ve been in trouble. If an errand needs running, a baguette is mine.
Starbucks Snack-Fulls, $4.25
Diapers for daycare? Check. Baguette? Check. Brought my lunch. But, oh, it would be better with baguette. Forgot after-daycare go-home snack? A baguette for my dumpling. Thursday is the evening I single-mom it, so salad on the way home, and then baguette! (Actually, we make it a baguette and cheese night, because you know, the cheese will neutralize the sugar in the bread and the, er, butter. Loads of it.)
The good news is my other bad boyfriend, Starbucks, of endless-lattes love, now has the perfect last-minute kiddie snack.
Meet the Snack-Fulls: this adorable container (so fun to unpack!) is stuffed with raisins, organic apple slices, mozzarella cheese stick and Annie’s Bunny Grahams. (And for older kids, the package is lined with games.)
Good for baby, good for mummy. And while my pudgy dumpling’s fingers and sweet dimply face no longer smell of yeast (woe be mine), his health and my waistline are a little bit safer. Is Starbucks now a mum’s best friend? Think so.
Check out the other mommy-wooing currently on offer at Starbucks:
• Peter Rabbit Organics
• Organic dried fruit
•Gluten-free chips
•Lucy’s allergy-free cookies
• Rockabye Baby! CDs
