Want a great snack idea? Clementines from Spain! They're small, portable, easy-to-peel (my kids can easily peel these without help), yummy, and good for you!
I love these Clementines because they're seedless, or very nearly seedless. And unlike some varieties of oranges, you can easily chew these. I hate oranges that are impossible to chew. I always end up spitting out globs of that membrane separating each segment. These Clementines from Spain aren't like that. They're de-lish!
Clementines from Spain are also a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate, fiber and potassium. They're sweet and juicy, but only have about 50 calories each!
Not only do they make great after-school snacks, are perfect for lunchboxes and late night munchies when you crave something sweet, but you can use them to spice up your favorite recipes. In fact, here's a recipe for a cheesecake that is awesome!
Clementines from Spain Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust
For the crust:![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0p-trbcKhm8/SWd5pWm0geI/AAAAAAAAE1U/5c0FE1od1dw/s320/Cheesecakefinal.jpg)
3 cups gingersnap crumbs
1/4 cup of golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons Clementines from Spain zest
6 tablespoons melted butter
For filling:
4- 8 oz. packages of cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup Clementines from Spain juice
4 tablespoons Clementines from Spain zest
3 tablespoons flour
5 large eggs, room temperature
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
To prepare the crust:
In a large bowl, mix together gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, Clementines from Spain zest and melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer mixture to 9” spring form pan and press down so that the crumb mixture covers bottom evenly and comes up the sides of the pan an inch. Place in refrigerator until ready to fill.
To prepare the filling:
In a large bowl using electric mixer, blend cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Gradually add sugar, Clementines from Spain juice, Clementines from Spain zest and flour, making sure to scrape down the sides of bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Add eggs one at a time, continuing to blend until mixture is smooth.
Remove crust from refrigerator and fill with cream cheese mixture.
Place in the center rack of oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until lightly golden and firm in the center.

I've never tried clementines. They sound great.
Yummy, yummy! Those sound so good - and make me all the more ready for summer time!
I loves me some clementines. No one else in the house eats them, but I bet they would in that recipe!
Clementines are yummy! We just love them.
I love those! I always seem to get bad oranges but I've only ever had one bad clementine.
My daughter and I love clementines!
I would love som Clementines from SPAIN too
Sandy
My 3 kids all LOVE these "baby" oranges as they call them. We would be so thankful to win a crate of them!
I've never heard of Clementines! Are they a Northern thing?
Sounds like something my kids would like though!
~K

Yum!
My kids love clementines,too. I love how easy they are to peel and eat. Yummy. Hope to win!
I ADORE Clementines! Hooray - pick me! pick me!
Clementines are one of the best fruit snacks for kids. My DD loves them to because she can peel them herself!
That recipe looks good too!~
Oh, I love these! I have one in my lunchbox for today...no lie. And my 16 month old son LOVES them too. If I would let him, he would eat about 20 a day. LOL.
Clementines dont last long around my house!! The boys love them!
Yummy! If I win, I'm making that delish cheesecake!
YUM!!!
What a great contest! Thanks for the chance!
We are also HUGE fans of clementines. My kids beg for the 5 lbs crate every time we go to the store!!!
these sound wonderful for my twenty two month old son whom likes to do things on his own with out help. other things like this he ends up juicing when he tries to pull them apart since that is one of his favorite things to do.
where do you get these at?
JoEll
Oooooooooooo, I could eat the whole crate in one sitting.
My favorite!
Wowza...that cheesecake looks amazing!
My daughter would eat clementines all day long if I let her! Yummy!
LOVE THEM!!! I ate 2 this morning...we usually go through 2 crates of them a week!
This sounds great my kids love oranges so this would be perfect. I have to peel all oranges even for my 18 year old cause oranges are tough. Plus is I win it would be a perfect birthday present for me I turn 43 on the 21st!!!!!!!!!!
Pick me Pick me!
oh WOW clementines are GREAT!! I love them! I totally agree about the oranges. I pack clementines in my husbands lunch, and I eat them as a snack while watching tv. I sure hope you pick me!
We have just discovered these and my kids love them. They are also pretty inexpensive compared to oranges. Yummy, yummy!
You know, I have never in my life had a clementine.
Ooo! Ooo! YUMMY!
I never had clementines till last year. My neighbor and her son got my son hooked on them. He pestered me, I gave in, and all the kids love them.
I love clementines! My 3 year old and 1 year old have never tried them. I think they would LOVE them. I hope I win.
Clementines! I love clementines! I don't like that thick stuff on oranges, either, and clementines are also so much sweeter.
Lisa F.
We all love Clementines too! We don't even bother with oranges anymore. :) YUMMY!!!
Darn it. Now I have that song stuck in my head! At least it's displaced the itsy-bitsy spider for a while.
This is ironic that you posted this. My sister was just telling me over the holiday how awesome clementines are. I've never had them before so I looked for them at my grocery store the other day but couldn't find any. Wonder if they haven't reached Georgia from Spain yet? You know, that sling shot is pretty hard to do ;)
How generous! My whole family loves clementines.I want to win! :o)
I absolutely love these! I ate the whole box I bought before Christmas. For some reason my kids won't eat them, but I can't gt enough. If I win, I will totally make the cheesecake..it looks so yummy!
Anjie B.
My family loves clementines. My kids are crazy and love fruit just as much as they do sweets. I'd love to win!!
We LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They won't be around long if we win that is for sure! And I will for SURE be making that cheesecake (if I can).
Thanks for the chance to win. What a great giveaway, something healthy for the New year (well besides the cheesecake that is LOL!).

We LOVE oranges!
I am 9 months prego and citrus fruits are one thing I can't get enough of right now (so you have to pick me :) the recipe looks delish!
LOVE THESES! Great snacks!
Yummy! I have one child that won't touch these but another that can't get enough!
I love clementines! My family can go through a box of these in just a few days.
I would love some clementines. my kids love these!
That looks like a great cheesecake. We would love to have the clementines.
Yummers! I love clementines. They are natures candy.
I love Clemntines! Hope I win!
We all love clementines in this house!!
My son goes crazy for them! Unfortunatly they just went out of season up here in Italy, so we will have to wait for next fall to eat them again.
If some miracle happens and you pick me, they will go to my sister who is in Ohio.
My grandparents had a citrus grove when I was growing up and would sell their fruit to Sunkist. Needless to say, I've always had a hard time finding citrus that was "up to par" in my book. Clementines are the exception! I love them. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
OOooh, we love these. I wish we could buy them at the farmer's market. I've taken to buying my produce from there, but none of the oranges are as delicious as Clementines.
We all LOVE clementines! And how cool it would be to win a case of them on my birthday on the 13th! Even my picky-eater son finally tried them & liked them. :)
Yummy! Thanks for the contest. I hope I win! My husband just lost his job, and it's my birthday this month - two good reasons I deserve to win yummy clementines!
Ooooo, I'm going to have to try that recipe. Would you believe that Little Miss ate three clementines at snack time today because she kept wanting more? ;) That includes the one I was planning to eat myself, of course....
Oh, I hope I win!! Both of my kids love clementines!! We are down to the end of the box I bought...looks like I'll be out buying more soon! Thanks for the great recipe...I'll have to try that! Hubby loves gingersnaps and clementines so it's perfect for him! :)
mmmmmm love them!
Pick me! Pick me! I LOVE clementines!
my kids LOVE them but they are always like $12 a crate (dont know if they are the same kind) so sadly, we rarely have them
My little one loves oranges and I have found these are the easiest for him to eat. What a great giveaway!
Oh YUM. I'm sure they'd brighten anyone's winter with their summery goodness.
We love clementines around here. They are the best.
I love clementines, and they're one of the few fruits my young adult kids really like. Thanks for the contest.
Sue R.
Great for my diet. They are wonderful
Oh man I love these things. Awesome giveaway - they won't last long in my house!!
Oh my darlin' please pick me... sorry couldnt resist it now that your title has me singing it! My kids absolutly LOVE any kids of orange...i love them if they can peel them on their own lol.
@jennhoop
Love Clementines for all the same reasons you listed. Great nutritious snack in an easily portable package!
DeAnn

I like them for the kids because they can peel them all by themselves. If I don't win, I don't mind if Snoopyfan does because any fan of Snoopy is a friend of mine!
My three little ones LOVE oranges - all types! I can't keep enough in the house. A great little fruit for little hands.
Oh, I LOVE clementines!
We love clementines! We must go through about 50 pounds of them when they're in season. They're the perfect snack!
Sounds yummy! Count me in. =)
willisfamily04(at)gmail(dot)com
Sounds good. I am trying the more fruit thing. This could be just the thing.
Oh, I wonder if I'd like these? I LOVE orange juice, but can't eat an orage to save my life because all the pulp (or membranes as you call it) make me gag. :)
Oh my goodness, how ironic. I just had a Clemintine this morning brought in by a co-worker. I LOVE them.
We love Clementines too! THey are juicy sweet and fun to eat.
Oh My Clementines! My kids & I love those cute little things. I like that they sneak them away like I'd tell them no fruit!
Thanks for the chance to win! I keep seeing these in the store, and they really look good.
My family is practically in LOVE with clementines. My brothers eat them almost everyday!
Oh my heck - I want these more than I've ever wanted one of your giveaways! I used to be able to get great citrus when I lived in Cali, but here in Missouri I've been sadly deprived!
pick me! pick me!
My girls and husband love clementines. We would sure enjoy those!
Yay, clementines! :) Not to mention someone else who feels compelled to sing the song when they are mentioned.
My husband would love these!
yum yum. My son loves them.
I LOVE clementines! I haven't had them in ages because they are so expensive now!
Oooh yummy!!! Pick me!
We adore clementines. Sadly, I looked all over for them today and they have vanished from the store shelves here in Vermont. There is something so satisfying in peeling them.
Clementines are the best! I always hide a few for myself otherwise I wouldn't get any as the kids and Hubby will eat them all.
love them!
I just stumbled onto your site. It's awesome :)
WE love Clementines. I buy them whenever I make the hideous dash to Costco. Please send some my way so I won't lose anymore hair in that store.
Yum-O! We just finished a bag of clementines. We love them!
Sounds yummy!
I've never tried them! They sound good!
yummy!! We LOVE clementines in our house!!!
My girls love Clementines!!
rankin1997@hotmail.com
WOW...we eat these like candy!
Pretty sure we live off of them here!
Yummy, my girls will eat them in a day!!!
The Bean boys LOVE clementines!! I wish we could get them year-round, but when they are in season other fruit just don't exist! Great recipe too I never actually thought to do anything else with clementines but gobble them right up!
I LOVE clementines and haven't bought any yet this season. I'd love to win these though!
My kids eat them up as quick as I buy them!
Mindy A (Iowa)
Yum-o!!!!
I LOVE clementines, but never buy them because they're so pricey. Would love to win!
I love clementines, but where do you get the ones from Spain (just in case I don't win).
oooh yummmy jasmine in ca
Love, love clementines! the color, the smell, the taste! Jane
janegreene1@comcast.net
My boys and I love clementines, oranges, tangerines, peaches, apricots, etc. We are big fruit eaters!!
I love clementines!
You can never have enough fruit. Thanks for the offer. Susan
Yummy!
Hey, I'm a senior citizen and I NEED me some vitamin C. HELP!
We love clementines!
Donna in PA :)
Hi Dawn... ALL 4 of my kids LOVE clementines!... clementines and meatballs are the only foods they agree on! Thanks!
Yumm-o! My family loves clementines! Carol V.
I sooooo want these. Hoping if I did actually win I can come across a few seeds and plant my own!!
Yum! I love clementines!
OH I would LOVE these, and might even share some with my kids. Or maybe not! The last box of clementines here in Washington (land of the rain) they were awful and dry and I was so looking forward to them!
I love Clementines. My favorite type of orange fruit.
That recipe looks fantastic!!
And like everyone else here, I too love clementines!
I literally, just today, blogged about my 2 1/2 year old's new found love of clementines. I think it's kismet. :) Hope we're one of the lucky readers.
My 2 year old son calls them "ooties"
because the bags here in AR that we buy them in say "cuties". So fun!
We'd love to have some!
oooooo, I love clementines but they are too expensive to buy since we can devour them in a day. Hey, if you pick me, you wouldn't pay much shipping!
I love how easy clementines are to peel. I may be crazy but I also love oranges that have a very thick peel. First I thinly cut off the peel with a knife, then hand peel off the whitish flesh and eat that. YUM.
Only US residents, eh? What? You don't want to send them back to Spain? The recipe looks delicious. I can tell you made it and garnished it and took the picture, right? 'Cause it just has home with six kids written all over it. Seriously, I love clementines and so do my kids. I love that they can peel them. Now if I could just get them to put the peelings in the garbage.
My family loves clementines. We discovered them recently and cannot stop eating them. I love that I can give several to my kids as a snack without feeling guilty about filling them up with sugar. We would love to have another crate of them.

My kids LOVE all kinds of fruit but clementines seem to be their favorite. Maybe it's the size and that they are easy to peel? Any way, I would love a chance to win some! Thanks!
Thou art lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine! I like the song, wonder if I'd like the fruit?
Would love to try some!

Oooh, I love clemetines! Pick me. :)
I don't think I have ever tried them..They sound yummy though.
Oh, baby. Send those on over here. I LOVE clementines. Unfortunately the ones I keep coming across have so many seeds in them that it seems a waste to eat it!
Dawn, I love clementimes. I had one on Michigan over Christmas and I was disappointed that I couldn't find them here when I got back to Michigan. I finally found a bag of them at Wallies World. P.S. I love you blog. Okie Nana

Clementines remind me of Christmas time. Santa used to fill our stockings with them.

My family would love some clementines from Spain!
I'd love some clementines. I'm 8 weeks pregnant and it's one of the few healthy things I can eat! (unless cheese curls are healthy- because of the cheese?)
I LOVE Clementines - but around here they are rather expensive. But when I "need" them - I figure I'm worth it and get them.
The cheesecake recipe looks fantastic - may have to get some just to make the cheesecake.
Thanks.
The kids and I love clementines, and the cheesecake looks even better. Add us to the list

Kelly
Oh, man! I LOVE Clementines! And I'm in college, so I can't afford them. All the more reason for me to be excited!
I LOVE when these are available in stores!
These sound so much nicer than oranges. I'm sure my kids would love them.
Yummy! We love clementines!
We LIVE on Clementines at my house!!! Oh I hope I win!
Both of my picky kids (6 and 2) have devoured our boxes of Cuties this winter . . . I love it. We must buy more soon. This is one of my favorite fruit seasons.
