Introducing Finger Foods with Mushies!

Zane is almost 9 months now and is naturally getting curious about food. I catch him eyeing my plate while I'm eating (he's the only man I'll eventually share my food with lol) but before he starts on my food, I decided to start him on something a little easier for him to chew, swallow and digest! Mushies, from Baby Gourmet are snacks that are ideal for babies discovering new textures and flavours. They are freeze dried, melt-in-your-mouth organic snacks that come in 3 delicious flavours: Fruity Greens, Banana Beetberry and Banana Berry Greek Yogurt! They actually taste really good (yes I tried them... I figure if I feed them to my son they should be good enough for me to eat too!) which is a contrast to the other melt-in-your-mouth snacks on the market that I've purchased, which tend to be bland and unappetizing. I love that they are organic, with nothing artificial, and no sugar added! Have you tried them yet? Which ones does your mini love the most? 

Stay tuned for more Baby Gourmet reviews coming up :)

Shaking Our Way Through the Week with Baby Gourmet!

Baby Gourmet, a Canadian-born organic babyfood company, has completely taken over my kitchen and I couldn't be happier! They've been on the market for over 10 years and have food for babies, toddlers and children that include great grain cereals, purées (they were the FIRST to market baby food pouches in Canada), mushies snacks, squoosh snacks and now Shakers! I'm going to be reviewing their entire product line and can't wait to share with you why we've been using their products since Zane started eating solids 3 months ago. 

I thought I would start by reviewing the most fun product that unfortunately Zane is too young to try out (sorry Zane!): Shakers (but don't worry, him being too young didn't stop him from joining in on the shaking fun!). Shakers are made with organic whole milk and have added vitamins, minerals and pumpkin so you can feel less worried about your picky eaters not getting the nutrition they need! They can be given with a meal, as an on-the-go snack or even added to recipes!

They come in both Vanilla and Chocolate, are gluten free with no artificial colours or flavours, are made with non-gmo ingredients and come in bpa-free packaging. They are meant for children between the ages of 1-10 years old and are sure to have them smiling from ear to ear, especially when it's time to shake them! You can click here to see the full nutritional facts and ingredient list.

Thankfully I had a few willing taste-testers to try them out for us! Want to see the rest of the product line? Click here to visit the Baby Gourmet website. 

I can't wait to introduce you all to the rest of the Baby Gourmet line! Keep your eyes open for my next post which may or may not include a giveaway :).
