Can’t we bring my juice and honey nut cheerios to go?
Lily asked this valid question and for once I had a better solution then I ever could have dreamed up for running errands with her on our Wednesday outing just the two of us, while Emma has pre-school right before the school year ended. See, Lily, for the past year, has had Wednesdays off from pre-school (all this will change in the fall when she will enter her second year of pre-school and go all 5 days of the week, while Emma will be a full-time Kindergartener).
Usually, I would get to juggle a juice box and little cup of whatever snack of her choice (goldfish, cheez-its, cheerios and more). The weekend before this adventure, Kevin washed my car and he was disgusted by the amount of food and other debris leftover from the girls in the back of my car. So, I had been in need of a better method of transporting their snacks since this.

But thankfully, I was contacted by the Snackeez company, which labels itself as “The All-In-One, Go Anywhere Snacking Solution”.
They weren’t kidding and must admit for our Wednesday Stop and Shop/Target outing, this cup was a huge hit with Lily and mom (me), too!
What is Snackeez?
It is quite simply a cup and snack holder somehow all in one design. Pour your favorite drink in the cup & add your favorite snacks to the snack holder.
Pour into cup
Then the Hinged, flip-top lid snaps securely shut to keep snacks fresh and in the cup, see what I mean below:

I am not kidding and it is pretty much spill proof too! See this clever design lets you hold a 16 oz. drink and your favorite snack, all in one hand and even seals perfectly to keep snacks fresh in the cup. And it is also dishwasher safe.
To see exactly what I mean, look at the video below now:
Now that you have watched the video, you can get your own for $9.99 here. I am telling you if you have kids, you will thank me for this one.
Also, just had to share that these cups have been my salvation in the last two weeks, as well, now that the girls are home on summer vacation while they snack and relax in the afternoons.
Take a look below to see what I mean here:

Thank you again Snackeez for making the on the go and home snacking experience that much easier!!!!
One Click Is All It Takes!!

What a great product! My car is also disgusting from the kid food debris! I can see this being really handy on our massive summer road trips!
Allie says
Oh this is too funny because my kids have actually ASKED me to buy these after they have seen the infomercial on them when they watch cartoons!!! They tout them by repeating the commercials to me like “Mom, they are a no-spill, easy way to keep us happy in the car!” Who can resist that? Now that they have your seal of approval (and the girls!) I may have to get them 🙂

The girls look so cute with their Snackeez!!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I’ve seen commercials for these and I have been thinking about getting the boys each one!
Seana Turner says
Seems like a pretty great idea. I was just showing my Mom and she said she had seen this somewhere… that they were giving them out. I think it is particularly good for the car. Does it fit in a cup holder?
Rosey says
My son wants one of these every time he sees the commercial. Quite honestly, I’ve blown it off until now. Maybe I’ll look into it for him after all, this does seem pretty handY!

I cannot tell you how happy I am to read this review…Abby (who is addicted to informercials) has been DYING to get a Snackeez, but I hesitated on just taking her very grand description of what it did. Now that I read this, I am DEFINITELY picking one up! :)-Ashley
Joy @ Yesterfood says
How handy are these?? Love these for the grands! Thanks for letting us know about Snackeez!

Janine,
I just saw this infomercial last week. I told my family I wish I had these when they were younger. They look like a great product.
Thanks for sharing!

Bill says
you are a marketing machine, Janine. I don’t think I’ll be trying this…my chickens lay eggs with too much regularity. LOL I’m just curious if Monsanto has its imprint on this product. I hope now.
Have a great day my friend.
Tenns @ New Mama Diaries says
What an excellent solution for keeping everything neat and tidy, and space saving too! My son’s a bit too young for this, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind for when he gets older. I can only imagine he’ll be messy with his food on the go and around the house, this will help for sure!
Carrie Groneman says
Oh, I would have liked this for my kids when they were young; but I will love them for my grandkids! Thanks for the idea. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
Echo says
My son wants one of these so bad! Thank you for showing me them in practical use! It looks awesome!
Alexa says
Oh man my car was so gross from spilled snacks, you don’t even want to know! It was so gross. This is a great idea -although that is a HUGE cup, and I swear, it looks like they are pouring wine into it in the picture. (Which would be perfect for me LOL!)
Tamara says
This is so handy! Scarlet wants one. She saw a friend had one and she said she preferred it to me just handing her messy juice boxes and messy snacks. You should see the state of our car! You would be appalled.
Amanda @ Growing Up Madison says
I have been seeing the commercials and have been dying to try them out. As you can imagine my car can become junky traveling with 4 children who love to make a mess. That would surely make my life is little less messy on the go. 🙂
Brittnei says
I’ve seen this on TV! And we all have said that it would really be a great idea. Snacks do really fall and get all over the place as well as drinks, too! Great idea to share and use in your house, Janine!
Kim says
That might be the coolest thing ever – even though my boys are older, I’m might need one for myself!!!
Rea says
Oh I love this!! It’s very convenient. Not sure if I can find something like this here in my place. Surely my son will love using it! 🙂
Aunt Gloria says
What a good idea! Was great to see you all today. See you soon again…..xxxxoooo
April says
This would’ve been great over the weekend. I just went on a long trip and having the kids have a snack and drink contained would’ve been extremely helpful. I guess I’ll let your imagination run wild why… LOL! 🙂
Pam@over50feeling40 says
Thanks for sharing on the Thursday Blog Hop and helping all the moms out with great information!
Melanie Chisnall says
That’s such a cool idea! I can definitely see how this would make a huge time-saver, not to mention saving money in the long run. And keep things less messy! 🙂
Rabia @TheLiebers says
Where was this when my kids were this age!?! Looks like such a great idea!!
Jen@JENerallyInformed says
Now that is a product I could really use. I am swimming in cheerios and all of the other detritus of snackage.
Camille says
This looks like one of the most genius invention ever. I definitely need to get one! My kids get their snacks literally EVERYWHERE.
Bev says
I really need one of these for myself! I can’y even blame the baby for any food debris in my car, it’s all me.
Diane Roark says
Janine,
I am stopping by just to STUMBLE several of your posts. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Blessings,

Hey, new commenting box!! I saw a mom at the airport with a very tall plastic snack dispenser and I thought wouldn’t it be cool to have a snack dispenser/drink holder in one? And lookee lookee, here is one!!! Tks for letting me know where to find one.
Pure Grace Farms says
Great idea! This big girl could use one of those too!
Julie V. says
She looks very proud of her cup. Thanks for sharing your way to keep snacks from getting ground into car carpet 🙂
The Pinterested Parent says
Wow, I am not going to lie, that is pretty awesome. My daughter would love that & so would I. It would totally keep her from tipping her juice out all over the place. Great idea. I want one.
