This Holiday Season, Skip the Stress with These No-Prep Meals
For kids, the holiday season means twinkling lights and Christmas carols, candy canes and chocolate coins, and presents delivered by a man in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. But for parents, there’s a lot more that goes into making this time of the year wonderful — including ensuring that little ones see all of the magic and none of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making it.
With the hustle and bustle of hosting out-of-town visitors, attending holiday parties and pageants, and buying gifts for everyone on your list, the last thing you want to worry about is day-to-day mealtime. This season, stock your shelves with smoothies from Simply and premium, Italian-style soups from Rao’s — so the next time you forget to plan for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you’re covered. Think of it like your own dose of holiday magic.
Rao’s Soups
On a chilly winter day, there’s nothing better than a homemade soup. Actually, there is one thing better: a homemade tasting soup that you don’t actually have to make yourself. Enter Rao’s Soups, authentic Italian-style recipes, offering the same homemade taste for which Rao’s is known for. Packaged in glass jars, free from artificial flavors and colors; Rao’s is a soup with nothing to hide. — The full line is made with premium, real ingredients, free from artificial flavors and colors, making for quality you can see right on the shelf.
This holiday season, keep Italian classics like Chicken Noodle with rich chicken broth, pieces of chicken, tender fusilli pasta, and an aromatic mix of carrots, celery and onions, Vegetable Minestrone with Italian tomato broth simmered with carrots, celery, onions, ditalini pasta, potatoes, zucchini, peas, green beans, red kidney beans and chickpeas or Pasta & Fagioli’s Italian tomato broth with a robust blend of navy beans, dark red kidney beans, ditalini pasta, carrots, celery and parmesan cheese on hand for quick and easy meals that offer all the comforts — and flavors — of recipes passed down through generations. Enjoy the simplicity of a homemade tasting meal in just a few minutes. And while the whole family will love the taste of Rao’s soups, parents will also love the $1.00 rebate available through ibotta while supplies last.
Simply Smoothies
Just like all the best things in life — and just like the juices and lemonades that earned this brand a loyal following — Simply Smoothies are made of all-natural ingredients, not-from-concentrate juices, and great-tasting fruit. To put it simply, it doesn’t get much more fresh and natural than these 100% real fruit smoothies. At least, not without chopping up and blending the fruit yourself.
Rest assured knowing you and your family are getting the closest thing to homemade even during the busy holiday season with Simply Smoothies. Whether it’s for a morning pick-me-up, midday boost, or late-night snack, make sure you keep Simply Smoothies Strawberry Banana and Simply Mango Pineapple in the fridge all season long.
