Tree Top Play Date

This post and the play date I attended were both sponsored by Tree Top. It was an honor to join in the fun and I’m excited to share with you about the details! #TreeTopPlayDate

On Tuesday, Heather invited the munchkins and I to a super fun playdate with the Tree Top gang. We met up in Portland to share lunch, play, craft and best of all, sip mama mocktails! It was a real treat – there’s nothing like spending time with a gaggle of mom bloggers who understand the urgency of the perfect Instagram photo :)

Oh, and there were complimentary mini massages for the mamas! Tree Top knows how to party!

Hang tight through my photo dump and then I’ll be sharing the delicious mocktail Heather created especially for this event. It’s divine and I just may be planning to make a whole pitcher for evening sips!

We started our play date with a stop in the restroom – because when Jem’s gotta go, she’s gotta go and that warrants a round of bathroom selfies. Obviously.

Jem and Max fully approved of the play date location – love indoor playgrounds!

The star of the day! Tree Top Fruit Full in Strawberry and Mango! YUM!

Our delicious lunch – fancy sandwiches and salad for mamas and classics for the littles.

I loved Tree Top’s craft just for the kids – fruit and veggie animals! There were some really creative creations!

Jemma’s turtle in the works. Max opted to continue playing rather than craft, go figure :)

The last time Alicia and I saw each other I was pregnant with Max and her youngest wasn’t even on her way yet!

And now, what you’ve all been waiting for …

Strawberry Mojito Mocktail

Recipe by Heather Cheney of Heather Likes Food

Ingredients

• 10 mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 of a fresh lime
• 1/2 cup Strawberry Tree Top Fruit Full
• 1/2 cup Club Soda

Directions

• Place mint leaves, sugar and lime wedge in a glass.
• Use a muddler or back end of a large wooden spoon to crush the mint and lime and dissolve the sugar.
• Fill glass almost to the top with ice.
• Pour Fruit Full smoothie over the ice, followed by the club soda.
• Garnish with an additional lime wedge and add more sugar to taste.

So, if you’re pregnant, nursing, hosting a baby shower or just craving a spritz-y cocktail – this mocktail featuring Tree Top Fruit Fulls is for you! It totally hits the spot and will become a favorite recipe for sure!

It doesn’t surprise me a whole lot that we all loved the mocktail, Tree Top has always had delicious products. Our family buys their huge containers of apple juice on the regular, nothing compares. Plus, my sister recently started dating a pretty neat guy who works at a company that picks and processes Tree Top apples. How cool is that?!?

Anyways, true to form, Tree Top has given us mamas another great product. Tree Top Fruit Full isn’t just another juice, it’s a shelf-stable smoothie currently available in two flavors – strawberry and mango. It is 100% fruit, has 3g of fiber, no high fructose corn syrup and no added sugar. Boom! Just how I like it. Most important, it tastes delicious! Straight from the container the mango was my favorite, but them I started sipping the mocktail and strawberry is pretty fabulous too! Guess I’ll have to keep both stocked in the pantry! Tree Top Fruit Fulls are simple (no blender needed!), balanced with healthy ingredients and perfect for the whole family – mamas, dads and kiddos all approve!

Thanks again Tree Top for such a fun event! Jemma was truly inspired by the fruit art part of our play date and has demanded that I recreate it at home the last few days! Here’s here spider creation from this morning!
