Go Go Squeez Playdate

GoGo squeeZ applesauce on-the-go, the leader in fruit-based pouches. They are made with 100% natural fruits, with no GMO or high fructose corn syrup. It’s Gluten Free, vegan friendly, and kosher certified.

My girls love them in their lunchbox.

GoGo Squeez has announced that they are on a mission to help U.S. families be more playful. A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to participate in The National Day of Play Event for Go Go Squeez. Everyone around the US from Los Angeles to New York City participated in this event.

I had a playdate with my girls and some of their friends. They loved playing some of my old favorites. Mother May I, Red Light Green Light, and Hide & Go Seek. They all had a blast! Awesomesauce!!

This post wouldn’t be complete without me experimenting with GoGo Squeez in my kitchen.  I incorporated them into some of my recipes.

Applesauce Donuts

• 1 Cup flour
• 1/2 Cup sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 Teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of Salt
• 2 Bananas, mashed
• 1/4 Cup Go Go Squeez Applesauce (about 1&1/2 pouches)
• 1 Egg, beaten

*A Donut Pan is needed for the recipe.

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients
3. In another bowl, mash the bananas
4. Add the egg and the applesauce, mix until well combined
5. Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients.
6. fill your donut pan about 3/4 full. I scooped with a small spoon but you can also scoop the batter into a sandwich bag, cut a small hole in the corner, and squeeze the batter out to fill your pan
7. baked for 10-12 minutes or until your toothpick comes out clean.
8. When done, remove the donuts from the pan and allow them to cool before you eat them. If you want you could also dust some powered sugar on to your donuts. Yum!

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees, and grease or use liners in your cupcake pan
2. Whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and baking soda.
3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and the brown sugar, until light and fluffy
4. Next, mix in the eggs.
5. Add the dry ingredients and the applesauce to the brown sugar mixture, alternating between the two. beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
6. Pour into your cupcake pan, filling half way.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until your toothpick inserted into one of you cupcakes comes out clean. You can also bake this recipe in a bundt pan, however, that will take close to an 1 & 1/2 to be done.

Two simple, yummy recipes that I’m sure your kids will enjoy.
