Funky Monkey Snacks Giveaway

July 13th, 2010

You have heard me RAVE about Funky Monkey Snacks lately, especially with all of Lil Boo’s allergies.  The Mrs. happened to find these GREAT snacks at Whole Foods, to which lil boo thoroughly enjoyed!  Of course, I am certain you could only imagine his two ‘favorite’ snacks out of the bunch…Bananamon and Purple Funk….both with Banana’s….do we see a pattern here??

Now they have NEW flavors!!  Applemon, Pink Pineapple and MangoOJ to spark that Funky Monkey madness inside of you!  Getting back to our roots and one of our favorite giveaway sponsors, Funky Monkey – we put them to the Lil Boo test! 

Sadly enough, he prefers the original flavors!  Bananamon and Purple Funk!  YES! Lil Boo still likes Bananas and he still *hearts* his Funky Monkey Snacks!!!  What’s not to say your lil boo’s n roo’s would not enjoy a case of the new Funky Monkey Snack Flavors?
