I don't like breakfast. 

Actually, allow me to clarify. I don't have anything against breakfast itself - coffee practically flows through my veins, and nothing beats a good bacon and egg sandwich. But the last thing I feel like doing when I've just been dragged from blissful slumber, is buttering toast and scrambling eggs in the pre-playgroup panic.

I'm just not genetically programmed to be a morning person. It's like my brain is on an auto-timer, set to kick in around noon. So if someone offers me a morning shortcut, I'm gonna grab it with both hands. 

Helloooooooo Princes canned fruit. 

Excluding pineapple (cheese and pineapple toasties - yummy!) I think the last time I had fruit from a tin was sometime back in 1989. I never even crossed my mind to buy it once I left home. But here's the kicker - not only is tinned fruit super cheap and quick to prepare, it also retains enough nutrients to count towards your 5-a-day!

So how excited were the Monkeys to get our mitts on a lovely box full of Princes canned goodies!! Inside we uncovered cartons of apple and orange juice, tins of pears, peaches, fruit salad, pineapple, and grapefruit. Last but not least was my surprise favourite - mandarin segments. I wasn't looking forward to trying them at all, but they were totally delish! To coin a phrase from Tangled - 'Who knew?!'

So, can you guess what the girls have been eating for brekkie ever since? Yep. Luvverly Princes fruit. Not only can I tick off one of their 5-a-Day with every serving, it only takes 20 seconds to dish up. Even my sleep-addled morning brain can cope with that.

But enough of me chirping on. Here's our Princes journey in pictures:

Yay - our goodie box arrives!

And gets turned into a caterpillar

the juice is the first to fall...
