Celebrate the release of Disney’s Frozen 2 with 20 themed recipes from DOLE®!

I’ve gone into the unknown here with healthier recipes inspired by Disney’s Frozen 2.  I adore celebrating our Disney obsession with themed recipes. Cookies adorned with Mickey, over-the-top milkshakes for a silly old bear, everything topped with a chocolate polka-dot bow. I’ve delved into the sweetness of my favorite characters.  But as a mama, I’ve got an obligation to provide a little more balance in our kitchen and on our dining room table.
While visiting the DOLE® Wellness Kitchen, my fellow bloggers and I were invited to experience a hands-on cooking demonstration to test out nutritious menu items perfect for families. You can read more about the day HERE.

DOLE® and Disney know the power of familiar characters like Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff!  Together, these 2 brands have kicked off another installment of Empowering the Hero Within.  You may have seen 20 brand-new DOLE®® Banana stickers and DOLE®® Pineapple tags featuring Disney’s Frozen 2 characters in stores now throughout supermarkets in the U.S. and Canada. If you have, I guarantee your kids have, too.  Make it extra fun by collecting the banana stickers and storing them on your own sticker chart.

Your local supermarket may be looking at lot like Arendelle!  Dole has released brand new Disney’s Frozen 2 banana stickers and pineapple tags featuring characters like Anna, Elsa, and Olaf.  Combining nutritious foods from Dole and the kid-appeal of cherished Disney characters makes magic for our families.

As a blogger, I love to share Disney-inspired recipes that allow families to bring the magic into their own kitchens.  As a mom, I’m trying my best to make sure my three daughters have a great foundation for life-long health. Is there a way to have FUN food that’s also NUTRITIOUS?

After a day spent with Dole, Disney, and some of my blogger friends, I’m gleefully thrilled to report YES!

Dole and Disney have been working together since 1976.  In just two years (2016-2018), Dole has provided 9 billion servings of fruits and veggies co-branded with Disney.  If they can do that, we can get our kids to eat the recommended 8-10 servings of fruits and veggies a day!

Together, Dole and Disney have seen the power our beloved characters have and are using that to get families to eat healthier.  Dole brings the healthier; Disney brings the fun.  How are they doing this? 

Dole kicked off the latest installment of Empowering the Hero Within, making it easy for parents like us to build excitement about healthier eating. With the upcoming release of Disney’s Frozen 2, Dole launched a new program featuring familiar characters like Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff!  Look for the 20 brand-new DOLE® Banana stickers and DOLE® Pineapple tags featuring Disney’s Frozen 2 characters in stores now throughout supermarkets in the U.S. and Canada. 

Making healthier eating more fun, families can take part in the DOLE® Banana Sticker Peel and Play game.  Collect all 20 Frozen 2 stickers!

Dole’s director of communications shared, “We want to combine the powers of Dole and Disney’s Frozen 2 to make healthy eating fun, exciting and maybe even a bit magical.”

It’s part of both companies’ ongoing efforts to create healthier communities.  I love hearing that for 160 years, Dole has focused on quality. Not only does that mean the yummiest fruits and veggies, they’re also using this quality-focused position to include nutrition and farming in an environmentally conscious way.

Disney works with parents to get families to eat better, be more active, and be their best.  As Anaheim residents, my family has personally benefited from Disney’s work with Kaboom to redo our local park playground.  When we head into the Disneyland Resort parks and beyond, it’s easy to make sure my family makes great choices using the Disney Check system.

As part of the celebration kicking off the Empowering the Hero Within campaign, we were even invited into the Wellness Kitchen to learn more about making healthier recipes, perfect for the whole family!

Check out more of our day!

I’ll be sharing tons of Disney’s Frozen 2-inspired recipes from Dole soon!  This cauliflower pizza inspired by Frozen 2 was so simple and LOADED with yummy veggies like cauliflower, spinach, and sunburst tomatoes. The Dole Snow-flower Pizza is a great hands-on way for little princes and princesses to help out in the kitchen.
