Gerber Grabbers Review

Noah loves squeeze pouches. You know those little pouches, that are drinkable fruits and vegetables. Noah loves fruit, but doesn’t really like veggies. He loved them when he was a baby and toddler but now that he is older, he will hardly touch them, except for the occasional carrot or piece of celery.  He is an extremely picky eater.  I really like giving him squeeze pouches because I know he is eating vegetables without even really knowing it.  Sure, if he asks me what it is, I will tell him but it doesn’t seem to faze him.  So, when I had the opportunity to try out some Gerber Grabbers I jumped on it.

Everyone knows about Gerber and Noah was definitely a Gerber baby. I was excited to see that Gerber came out with Gerber Grabbers because this product concept started out as an organic food. I am all for organic but not the organic price. I was looking for something that Noah loves and honestly is affordable. I know that Gerber products are affordable. He was eating other brands, but they were all just fruits. I know that he needs veggies in his diet and so I was really excited to see that some of the flavors contain veggies as well.  I knew I could kind of sneak some veggies in his diet with these.

When I opened the package, I didn’t get to look at them before Noah was asking to eat one.  I let him pick the kind he wanted and it was gobbled down. He really liked it a lot, because we got the package on Saturday and it is now Sunday night as I write this and we are down to one. He would have eaten the last one if I would have let him.  I know first thing in the morning he is going to ask me for the last one.  He eats them by not what is in them but what color the package and cap are.  He would say which pouch he wanted by what color it was. He has really enjoyed them all.

Ella's Kitchen Review and Giveaway

I had the opportunity to work with an adorable company called Ella’s Kitchen. Ella is a beautiful little girl whose parents decided to make a baby food and fruit smoothie line for Ella. It all started when Ella’s dad decided that Ella and all kids in her generation should have healthy fun food to eat. They think on a kid’s level and come up with things that appeal to kids senses and tastes. They even incorporate kid friendly textures too. I think this is really cool that Ella’s Dad came up with this idea. Ella could in fact be the next Betty Crocker.

On the website Ella says:
When I was little my dad made a promise to me and my brother that he would only use stuff in our products that is natural, is pure and helps make us healthy. I told him everything has to taste great, and he agreed! We now have lots of scrummy foods that babies and little big people love.

The pouches are really interesting combinations. Not just your normal strawberry and apple. Some of the more interesting flavors are Carrots, Apples and Parsnips another one is Broccoli, Pears and Peas. All of the Ella’s Kitchen products are USDA certified organic. Ella’s Kitchen promises never to use salt or sugar in their products. They also promise to never use anything in our products that has no nutritional or health value. I love the beliefs and promises of Ella’s Kitchen. They work closely with nutritionists. I love how they always put children first. Ella’s Kitchen is a great company to work with and purchase products from.

Noah loved all of the Ella’s Kitchen pouches. I thought the Strawberry Apple one was really good. I could actually taste the strawberries. Noah’s favorite part of eating the pouches was deciding which color he wanted to eat. He didn’t know what the flavors were so he did the next best thing and chose the colors. He enjoyed tasting them all. They didn’t last long at all. He gobbled them down. A few of the days he ate two of them. He would ask for them over Goldfish and my son loves Goldfish. I was excited to find something that was so good for him and that he enjoyed eating. They are just the right size for Noah’s little tummy. There wasn’t any leftover and it was a great snack or addition to a meal. We will definitely be buying Ella’s Kitchen products and enjoying them for a long time.

The website is jam packed with information about Ella’s Kitchen and even some recipes incorporating the pouches. You all know how much I love to cook. The recipes look delicious.
