Halos are small oranges, sometimes also called clementines.  They are amazing for kids for several reasons. They’re sweet, seedless and easy to peel!  Packed with vitamin C, these little gems come in crates at the grocery store and have the cutest little stickers. Mikey loves them!

journal entry from Tuesday, November 25, 2014. 'I love the halo stickers! photos of Mikey peeling and eating clementines and about 10 halo stickers featuring cartoon clementines with actual halos.
How many of those did you eat, buddy?

Halos are as close as nature can get to a “predictable” snack.  If your kid will try these, it may give you another healthy option for lunches and snacks.  Mikey highly recommends!
