Can you believe summer break is almost over? It feels like time keeps moving quicker each year. As you prepare to fill out your back-to-school chalkboard to mark the first day of school, you’re probably thinking about how to fill those lunchboxes and afterschool snack containers. 

At The Produce Moms, we love a fresh fruit or veggie anytime we can fit it in. Right now, our most recent snack obsession is Grimmway Farms Baby Carrots. 

This post is sponsored by Grimmway Farms. 

So simple, right? (That’s kinda why we love them!) 

Grimmway Farms has released a limited edition packaging of baby carrots specifically for back-to-school snacking and afterschool activities. And we weren’t going to pass up the opportunity to give them a try. 

Here’s our honest review of these fresh, ready-to-eat carrot snacks and why they’ll be in our fridge all school year long.

Why Baby Carrots for Back-to-School?

Carrots can be prepped and served in a variety of ways. Eat them straight from the bag, pureed, cooked, grilled, roasted, and more. We specifically enjoy these Grimmway Farms’ baby carrots for the fun, limited time back-to-school packaging and ready-to-eat freshness.

Fresh baby carrots are sweet, earthy, and crisp with a firm crunch when eaten raw. Our favorite thing about these limited edition baby carrots is that they are cut, peeled, washed, and ready to eat straight from the bag. You don’t have to do anything but eat and enjoy. 

Carrots are low in calories and packed with beta-carotene.  Beta-carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body and helps maintain normal vision and supports immune function. Something that we appreciate as we make our way into cold and flu season.

The best thing about baby carrots is that our kids love snacking on them as much as we love putting a handful in their lunchbox. It’s a quick, easy, affordable, and school approved side that everyone can enjoy.

How To Select and Store Baby Carrots

Look for baby carrots that are bright orange with a firm texture. You’ll be able to spot Grimmway’s Baby Carrots easily with the unique back-to-school packaging on the front. Can’t find the Back-to-School packaging? No worries, grab any Grimmway Farms bag for crisp, ready-to-eat baby carrots!

When you bring your carrots home, refrigerate them in the original packaging until you’re ready to snack or make lunches. Carrots are made of about 87% water and need consistent moisture. To extend their shelf life, store any leftover carrots in a resealable plastic bag or storage container with a damp paper towel to keep them firm and crisp longer.  

3 Ways to Pack Baby Carrots

There are many ways to enjoy fresh baby carrots without cooking or prepping the carrots themselves. Here are a few of our go-to options for ease, picky eaters, and after-school snacks. 

Straight from the bag. 

The best thing about baby carrots is you don’t have to cook, chop, or wash them. All you do is open the bag and start snacking or add to school lunches! We keep these in the fridge for snacks that kids of all ages can grab, even when you’re on a Zoom call or cleaning up a spilled glass of orange juice. 

Dip and Go. 

Dips bring joy to any snack and carrots are no different. If you’re dealing with picky eaters who haven’t jumped on the veggie train yet, dips are a great way to introduce produce in a fun way. Try our Green Goddess Veggie Dip, Lemon Whipped Feta Veggie Dip, or Roasted Red Pepper Veggie Dip. Simply blend all the ingredients in a food processor for a tasty, creamy dip that’s ready in minutes. 

Post-practice recovery snack.

Serve your soccer, football, or ballet star a handful of carrots with a cheese stick and pretzels. The cheese provides protein to start repairing muscles while the carby pretzels help recover lost energy. This grab-and-go snack combo is mess free and doesn’t require any prep – it’s a win for everyone!
