I am always looking for healthy snacks, so I was really excited when FitSnack contacted me. I tend to go for the same types of snacks: nuts, fruit, cottage cheese. It was nice to get a box full of organic & GMO-free snacks and goodies to help me switch things up!
I was really pleased with the variety and selection of items. One box costs $24 and there was definitely enough stuff in there to make it well worth it. (the bag of raw almonds and sunflower seeds ALONE would cost me around $6 at Whole Foods) According to the Fit Snack website: “The Fit Snack box is carefully curated each month to include 6 – 9 different items that are not only delicious but are also designed to provide clean energy to support an active, fitness-focused lifestyle.”
My favorite items were the veggie chips (Mila loved those, too), the peanut butter protein cookies and the somersaults snacks. Also, I was really surprised by how good the whey & quinoa protein shakes were! The powder dissolved easily in water and was delicious! I normally don’t like protein shakes since I always feel like they have a chemical taste, so I am definitely going to be looking for this one in the store.
The box also came with a bag of Oven Baked Organics brand pancake mix, so I figured I would whip up some Valentines Day themed pancakes. Especially since I have never had the opportunity to say, “Let me whip up (insert anything here)!” (I don’t cook… remember?)
I made the pancakes according to the directions on the bag. Then I took a bit of the batter and funneled it into a squeeze bottle with some blue food coloring. I made the rest of the batter dark pink using Wilton’s no taste red gel food coloring. I made these with Hudson’s help, so I let him pick the colors, but I think it would have looked super cute if he had let me make the pancakes dark red, with light pink writing. But, whateves.
First, spray the pan (I used coconut oil spray) and let it heat up on medium-high. Then write whatever you want using the squeeze bottle. If you are writing words, just remember you need to write them backwards, so when you flip the pancake they will be the right way. Let the letters ‘set’ for 30 seconds or so (you can kind of tell by looking) Then just pour the pink batter over top. Once you see bubbles flip them over. Done & done! (If you have one of those heart pancake molds they would be even cuter! I have one… somewhere. I looked for a good minute or so and then gave up.)
I decorated the plate with some heart sprinkles and the kids went to town! They actually loved something I cooked! Woohooo!

**Fit Snack sent me a complimentary box to facilitate this review, opinions are 100% my own.
What a great snack idea! I'm all about veggie chips too! And totally trying the Vday pancakes!!
Yes you can make them for any occasion, they turn out so cute!
No way!! I've never seen this before!! Organic and GMO free!?!?! That so beats the Birchbox. Sorry, I said it. I'm going to check this out! It's nice to check out different snacks. Haydan eats the same ones over and over and we are limited on organic options as there are not as many as there are NON organic ones. Very good to know! Thanks!
The stuff was SO good too, I was super impressed.
So cute! This looks like a snack box that I would absolutely try:)
yeah there was tons of stuff in there, and many of the items I had never heard of, which was fun!
I bet my kids would love to help me make these!
Yes if my son was a bit older I would let him join in… they would love it!
Great! We love gluten free at http://www.sensitivemommy.com as our 3yo has celiac. Good find! ❤️
Thanks for stopping by Megan! I'm off to check out your blog right now!
I love healthy snacks. I mainly eat trail mix all of the time! The pancakes are adorable.

Organic and GMO free, certainly (health) buzz words…the pancakes look fun!
Totally! I was actually surprised by how good the snacks were!
Ooh, always looking for great healthy kid foods, and thanks for the idea of squirting out pancake words! I've seen those videos of cool pancake art using the bottle, but never once thought I could try to use it too haha.
there are so many possibilities too! And I am not very crafty, so if I can do it anyone can! 😉
What a great idea for Valentine's Day. I love when food matches the holiday. My son loves pancakes too!
I love matching holiday foods too.. the kids go crazy for it! 🙂
Cute pancakes. I need one of those pancake squirters…Food subscription boxes are so much fun to get. I hadn't heard of this one but it looks great.
Next on my list to try is one of those beauty subscription boxes! 🙂

Colored pancakes!!! For some reason, I never thought of doing that but it's genius! Going to add some food coloring to the next batch I make! (Also this gluten-free mix looks great!)
You should! There are SO many options here! 😉 have a great week!
They look tasty.
So adorable-I love these! And, uh, thanks for the tip about writing backwards, I would have had to find out the hard way. It didn't occur to me at all. Anyhow, so cute! And a great review-getting a variety of snacks like that sounds awesome!
What a fantastic post! Pancakes are my favorite breakfast choice! I don't have anyone to make them for, except myself, but I may just try this trick to start my day off that much more better!
Your pancakes turned out so cute and Fit Snack looks like a company I should try. Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post.
