Ella's Kitchen Review & Giveaway

Earth Week may be over, but I have one more organic giveaway for you! Ella's Kitchen offered to send me a sample & some freebies for a reader giveaway, & I jumped at the opportunity.

If you are unfamiliar with Ella's Kitchen, they are a company that started in the UK that is now selling organic baby food & fruit smoothies here in the US. The fruit smoothies probably aren't what you think of when you think of a smoothie, but rather, a pouch filled with smashed fruit. All of their products are made from 100% organic fruit & vegetables; nothing else. And I mean nothing else.

They sent a fruit smoothie for my daughter to try & it was aptly named "The Red One." They offer two flavors of smooths, the other being "The Yellow One." I have been giving my daughter smoothie/squeezer/fruit pouches for several years & am addicted to them because of the fact that they are a healthy option & so easy to take with you (she gets one in her lunch almost every day). I wasn't sure how my daughter would react to The Red One since it was a new brand, but after her first swallow she said "Mmmm....good!" When prompted as to what made it good, she replied "The berries & banana." Since it's all fruit, she could actually recognize the flavors, unlike some other snacks that are marketed to kids (I mean, really....when did blue raspberry become a flavor?!).

Ella's Kitchen sent three Stage 1 baby food pouches for one lucky reader to win! You get 1 pouch of Carrots, Apples, & Parsnips, 1 pouch of Broccoli, Pears, & Peas, & 1 pouch of Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin, Apples, & Blueberries. Nice! Remember, these are all 100% organic, too. Where were these when my daughter was a baby? I made all of her baby food at home, but would have loved to have some of these to throw into a diaper bag for meals on the go. Talk about convenient!

I didn't see Target listed, but I think certain Targets are carrying them now as well (don't quote me on that, though!). I am confident I will be making a trip this week to get more of The Red Ones for my daughter!
