Little Miss A has had several different eating phases in her life. She was an amazing eater when she first started eating solids and munched on everything with the exception of anything with tomato sauce. Well, unfortunately it went down hill from there with her just wanting carbs, diary, and protein. With lots of work, games, and bribes, we’ve been able to get her to eat some vegetables here and there and almost every fruit imaginable. We’re not too worried about her fruit and vegetable intake but a little extra couldn’t hurt right?
We decided to try out Peter Rabbit Organics fruit pouches. Now I’m not sure if you’ve seen these pouches around, but it seems like it’s becoming a big trend, food/nutrients in an easy-to-carry pouch. I’ve seen a few other kids products packaged the same way and even Gatorade is making a Pre-Game Fuel in the same manner.
I would give Peter Rabbit Organics a rating of good. I love that these packets are very easy to put in your diaper bag or in a lunch box without worrying about messes or taking up too much space. Two other great things about the packing are that they don’t need to be refrigerated before opening and after you open them you can reseal them with their screw cap, so you can refrigerate and save for later. All the pouches are BPA free too, so you know this company is totally into health!
Aside from being convenient, these packets are filled with 100 percent organic fruits, no sugars or artificial ingredients. Peter Rabbit Organics come in three different flavors; Strawberry and Banana, Mango, Banana, and Orange, and Apple and Grape. Little Miss A and even Daddy B tried all three of the flavors, they weren’t too impressed with the flavor but they loved the applesauce like consistency. I am a huge fruit lover so I didn’t hate the taste, but it could have used a little more natural sweetener possibly.
I don’t give Miss A tons of sugary foods, but we also don’t eat everything organic or whole either. She said the Strawberry and Banana packet was, “Too Banana-knee.” I can see some children not liking the fruit snack at all because they aren’t used to it, but other more impressionable er, younger children may be more apt to fall in love with these snacks.
I thoroughly enjoy that it is a healthy snack and even in some cases a treat, being that the child gets to sip a snack from a cool pouch and wish that Miss A enjoyed them, and I may even try to get Baby C started on them before she has a taste for any sweeter versions.
Although the company is based in London, you can get yours at local food stores, Buy, Buy, Baby or check here: http://www.peterrabbitorganics.com/where-to-buy-
Anyone else tried these fun snack pouches by Peter Rabbit Organics or any other companies? What did you think?
