A new kids snack has hit the shelves and as a parent, I am always on the lookout for a healthy, handy snack which appeals to both my children, aged 2 and 9. So what did we think of Mavericks Snacks.

The packaging is bold and bright and quite striking. It didn’t have anything other than the lightning bolt on it and so I’m guessing that this was considered quite a ‘cool’ product to take into your lunch .  

Mavericks Snacks makes lightning bolts of goodness for adventures of all shapes and sizes—snacks that literally come in fun lightning bolt shapes that also double as an “M” for Mavericks! Its all high quality, all natural, non-GMO ingredients that are school safe (no peanuts).

So, we were excited to go around town and pass samples out! We attended Valley of the Sun, JCC Summer Camp and provided after camp snacks to all the kids and staff. 





These fun shaped snacks were a hit! Mavericks Snacks are an easy to grab on the go and will be a hit in your home. My daughter was all smiles when she had the chance to try them out. She is always on the go and went straight for these junk free snacks. The portions are a good size and clearly labelled both on their website and on the packaging for food allergies such as dairy free, but free and gluten free. 

We all liked Mavericks Snacks and I would consider adding these snack for on the go and back to school snacks. 




Mavericks Snacks come in six yummy flavors that are all kid-approved and in a super fun lighting bolt shape. We liked the variety of snacks and found tastes hinted in the flavors. But wait, there is more! Mavericks Snacks can be set up to come to your door weekly or monthly and kids can transform the boxes into everything from robot heads and racing to boom boxes and target practices.
