What time is it? Mandarin Time! Even though I am not a fan of winter, there is one thing that I absolutely LOVE about this time of year, and that is mandarins are back in season! In holiday time, where cookies and pies are being consumed at every turn, I find myself pushing those away and reaching for a mandarin. I'll have one in the afternoon, then when I snuggle up with my husband to watch a little television in the evening, I'll grab 2 more. I would say that Wonderful Halos are my guilty pleasure, but since they are a pure and delicious snack, I feel no guilt at all when I eat them.
California grown, Wonderful Halos Mandarins are a sweet, seedless and easy to peel snack that is a fabulous alternative to fatty foods. Each mandarin has about 50 calories, and packs in 45 percent of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C. They are all natural, contain no GMOs, and are the perfect size for little hands, lunch boxes, and for eating on the go. They are a snack you can feel good about serving to yourself and loved ones!
Not only are Wonderful Halo good for every day snacking, they are good for community outreach too! Every week, Wonderful Halos gives fresh fruit to food banks that service thousands of needy families in California's Central Valley, and have even partnered with Feeding America to help provide 1.3 million meals to children in need! That's incredible!
Wonderful Halos are in season November through April, so you have plenty of time to pick up this sweet, juicy snack. Look for them in a 3lb bag, 5lb bag, or a 5lb box in the produce section
at your local grocers!
You can learn more about Wonderful Halos by visiting their website.
