This is a sponsored post partnership with Walmart to share about their Marketside Organic produce line.
When we travel I try to still keep the girls favorite snacks on hand for them to eat.
One of their favorites is a fruit plate. It tastes delicious, which is obviously important to us all… but it’s also really easy and easy to take with us! This past weekend we stayed at a vacation rental along the central coast of California. Once we were all settled in we made a quick stop at Walmart for some snack food including some fruits to make a fruit plate!
Walmart’s Marketside organic produce has a new “fresher” look.
They rebranded their line to make it easier for us to identify their organic products. The packaging will now be marked with a purple organic label and the USDA Organic seal. One of the reasons I shop at Walmart is that I can do one stop shopping for everything I need… and do it quickly! This will totally help get me in and out the door and back to doing fun things with my family. It’s also going to be very helpful when I go shopping with the girls. The older two help pick out food at the store and this is a great visual help for them to know which produce to buy.
Marketside organic produce will feature 50 popular items, in 2,300 stores.
The organic produce is in a separate section within the produce area too. The items i’m most excited about are the avocados, apples, packaged salads, carrots, broccoli, onions, kale, rainbow chard, juice, grapes, potatoes, strawberries and more!
Walmart always strives to have the lowest prices. Their Marketside organics will be no exception.
This is the easiest fruit plate you will ever make!
When I make our fruit plate I always think of the following things:
- Add different color fruits.
- Add different types or all the same. Have one citrus, one grape, one strawberry. Or do all citrus and have 10 different ones.
- Make it ready to eat. Peel citrus and have it all washed.
- Have different sizes to make it visually appealing. Small grapes look great next to big strawberries.
- Put it on a pretty plate and table… but still let the fruit be the prettiest thing!
- Buy seasonally. The best tasting fruits are the ones in season.
For this plate I chose organic strawberries, oranges, grapes and apples. We ate the apples on the way home from the store though… they were so juicy and sweet!
I am so lucky that both of my boys love fruit. This would go over big with them~
I’m more of a Target shopper than Walmart, but I have seen their market area and it looks really well stocked. I don’t do much grocery shopping in these types of stores for some reason, I usually just got o Publix.
Honey Crisp Apples are my all time favorite fruit. They are so expensive but worth the cost!
These fruits look so amazing, I can eat fruit 10 times a day and the kids feel the same. Thanks for sharing your easy fruit plate.
After reading this post it makes me super excited to know that I have these fruits on hand! I am so hungry for a healthy snack!
Oh we always have fruit on hand and put together yummy fruit plates for snacks and desserts. My kids love to pick and eat. Thanks for sharing.
We do gobs of fresh fruits and veggies also. I’m really happy to see more and more organic and locally sourced produce hitting the shelves, or can only do good things.
I’m so excited about this. I usually don’t by organic produce because it’s so expensive. If I can get it at Walmart, I know it will be at a great price.
We love to eat fresh fruit. Our favorite is grapes. We go through those like crazy.
I’m a citrus freak! Oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes. Love them all!
yes you are right easy fruit plate! lots of yumminess and great vitamins in there!
I could snack on fruit all day. That bowl is so pretty and colorful.
This is pretty much my lunch on the daily. Or a snack plate – which consists of loads of raw nuts, cheese, crackers, and hummus 🙂
We are a fruit eating and loving family.. we eat plates like this all the time!
You are making me crave a fruit plate! We are home for an ice storm today and I happened to stock up on fruit a couple of days ago, so I need to make a fruit platter today. 🙂
Fruit plates are such a delicious and easy snack. I love making them in warmer weather.
That looks so good. No matter what it is we do eat with our eyes first and that plate looks heavenly.
I love having fresh fruit! I need to check out the organic produce. The strawberries look delicious.
Our Walmart doesn’t have the best produce, I’m not really sure why, it could be my location. I enjoy making fruit plates for my family, it’s a healthy snack that we can all enjoy.
I love the product section of my local walmart! My favorite fruit would have to be red grapes (frozen please!) yum!!
Fruit is such an important part of maintaing a healthy lifestyle. I love this idea for snacks and parties etc. Yummy and nutricious!
This is wonderful! We love organic produce and vegetables, but it gets so expensive. Maybe with Walmart getting into the game eating healthy foods won’t cost an arm and a leg.
I have to admit I do love a bowl of fruit, there is something delicious about fresh fruit. x
Yum! We love fruit too. It’s so convenient that they sell it at Walmart now!
This is good to know that Walmart has an organic isle. I have never paid attention to it. It is important to eat healthy snacks
I love fruits a lot, I eat them every day; they are the perfect snack!
Yum my kids request fruit plates all the time in spring/summer. Sadly in winter a lot of the good fruit are either super expensive or out of season so it can be tough but we love fruit plates!
Favorite fruit is definitely strawberries. My kids love fruit too, so that is a good thing!
Honey Crisp apples are my favorite. I love them when they come out and when they are gone I’m bummed.
Fruit will always be one of my favorite foods – As picky as my son is, I’m glad he is a huge fan as well
Those look wonderful. I’ve noticed that their produce has improved.
I dont know what it is but fruit and salads always look so much better when someone else makes them. I could eat this entire plate!
I always say that! I wish my plates were so photo-worthy!
I am a huge lover of fresh fruit and veggies – and luckily, so is my toddler (for the most part.) Our Walmart hardly EVER has great produce – it usually looks wilted and definitely not edible. I’m glad you can find great produce at your Walmart!
Yummy! I usually bake these fruits into cupcakes and muffins! My favorite is strawberries! 🙂
Eating fruit is definitely not a problem in my household. I usually don’t purchase produce from Wal-Mart, but will return for another look.
I definitely like to use as many colors as I can in a fruit plate. You get more vitamins that way.
This is exactly how I serve fruit to my kids. They love it especially in the summer.
There is nothing quite like fresh fruit. I love that Walmart still has a great selection, even out of season.
I didn’t realize that they had so much organic food! I will definitely have to look closer next time.
Nice to see they are into fruit. It is really important. I am trying to get my girls into eating more fruits and veggies.
Fruit salads are great. I can’t have so much sugar so I like to mix it up with veggies
I love fruit plates and it’s one thing I look forward to for summer time. Right now our food is at crazy pricing, can’t wait to have them lower in a few months. Getting tired of apples and oranges all the time.
Both of my children love fruit! My son can never get enough strawberries. Fruit plates are something that my family loves having as a snack!
We have a fruit plate every single day! I wish my tot was better with veggies, but she sure loves her fruit!
I love a juicy strawberry! I don’t typically buy food from WalMart, but I might have to check out their new line!
Walmart is also my one stop shop for everything. I like being able to just go to one place for things that I need. Like that they are clearly marking their organic section.
I love fruit with a passion, nothing better then some delicious orange wedges and apple slices!
I’m with your girls! Not much tastes better than a fresh fruit plate. I love to pick up fruit when we’re traveling because it’s light on the tummy but still satisfying.
Fruits are amazing, nothing better than a nice platter filled with fresh fruit!
Yummy, I love fresh fruit. My favorite fruit includes: cherries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, apples, and avocado.
