10 Reasons to Love Halos Mandarins
December not only brings cold weather and Christmas, it also brings our family’s favorite fruit – clementines (only available November-January). Did you know clementines are a type of mandarin?
I don’t think I ever had a clementine until college. I remember visiting my friend Amy in Minnesota and her mom having a bowl of them on the table. She gave me one, I easily pealed it and was hooked.
Matthew loves citrus and is so thrilled this time a year when clementines come home from the grocery store. This year, we literally have been eating two bags of Wonderful Halos every week, so when they sent me an email asking if I would be interested in doing a sponsored post and writing about them, I happily say yes.
Both my kids are slightly picky eaters (though Elias is improving), and Halos are an awesome way for me to ensure they are at least eating some fresh fruit every day. Adeline will happily eat them all day long.
I love hearing her say, “Can I have a baby orange, mama? I love ‘dem.”
She will easily eat one in the morning, two at lunch and another as a snack in the later afternoon. Elias isn’t far behind her. Whenever I say, you need to have something healthy too, he always choose a Halo.
Clementines are not created equal, and Halos are definitely our favorite. We never had them before this year and now I won’t buy anything else. They are available nationwide. I usually buy ours at Target – shocking, I know.
Here are 10 reasons to love Halo mandarins
1. They are easy to peal
2. They are deliciously sweet
3. They are seedless
4. They are non-GMO
5. They are grown in the U.S.
6. They are affordable (usually around $5.99 for a bag of 25)
7. They are the perfect snack for at home and on the go
8. They are healthy
9. Kids love them
10. Grown-ups love them too
Does your family love clementines? Have you ever had a Halo clementine?
I’ve tried multiple brands but always go back to Cuties. I’ll give these a try since you did a review! Would love to see some coupons come out from the company!
We have been long-time cuties fans, but since stumbling on Halos they are all I buy. They just as so consistently delicious. I think you will really love them.
Haha – Just bought a bag of Halos at Target last night – $5.99! Actually, just finished eating one as I read this! 🙂 Now I want another…
Halos are actually the original Cuties. They changed their name. Paramount Farms is the company that owns them.
Well then that makes sense why I used to buy cuties and now I only buy Halos. 🙂 Mandarin oranges for the win!
I didn’t know that about Cuties and Halos. My kids love them too, and my little girl has that same Jelly the Pug dress that Adeline does! Too cute!
I’ve never seen Halo brand, but I’ve never looked for them in Target. It’s always Cuties around here. Loooove clementines though!
They sound delicious. I didn’t realize they were only $6!
My boys either eat a Clementine or an apple every day for breakfast. And they make the best stocking stuffer!!
Great ideas! My son loves fruit but he’s never tried these–I’ll have to get some.
She’s absolutely adorable. We love Halos too!
we just got these!! i have to put limits on how many my two year old eats cause she would eat all of them at once! she loves them!!!
Just started eating them last week and we’ve been through about 4 bags already they taste great not to sweet not to tangy easy to peel we love them.
I love clementines and I eat huge numbers when they’re in season. I used to buy whatever brand was handy, so inevitably I sometimes bought Halos.
However, since Halos started their truly obnoxious ad campaign showing bratty children terrorizing their parents because they’ve run out of Halos, I now will buy any brand EXCEPT Halos. If there is more than one brand in a store, I buy the other one. if halos is the only brand a store carries, I go to another store.
Ads like these are offensive and only serve to deepen the cult of parents bowing down to kids at any cost. lose them. You’ve already lost me.
Whoa! Easy! Don’t let the marketing department of the company deter you from eating only the best darn snack fruit for kids and grownups alike. Chill. Coincidentally, that’s how I LOVE my Halos — chilled! Yum. My daughter, and now my granddaughter will eat these things forever.
Cuties are the best
WAS BUYING CUTIE.I TRIED HALOS- IM AM OBSESSED !!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!
