McDonald's puts a new spin on meals for children
A review by: Jennifer Gove
Growing up I remember those Friday night trips to the golden arches. I remember the white benches with the yellow and red pads and the Happy Meals™® with the soda or milk shakes like it was yesterday and so do my hips.
Today's parents are more savvy and choosy so McDonald's has stepped up to the plate to offer moms better choices for those fast food stops with the kids in tow.
Milks come in "milk jugs" and are appealing to the eye of a child though they are low fat my boys always ask for milk now.
Fries can now be replaced with "apple dippers" slices of apple and a low fat caramel sauce My kids all love this idea at home and I know at McDonald's it is sure to be a hit as well.
They also offer Motts juice boxes a hit with younger children not so much the older children that see them as some thing they get often at home or school.
The newest addition not aimed at children is the fruit and nut salad my kids think it is the bomb! And you can not get much healthier then portioned out servings of fruit, nuts and low fat yogurt.
Lets not forget desert fruit and yogurt parfait? Low fat ice cream?
It is nice to see a company that deals with foods that are not considered healthy when consumed to often offer choices that are better and far more nutritious choices for our children and us as adults to still love the golden arches.
