Review and GIveaway (!) NurturMe Baby Foods

Have you ever been out and about, and had your tot's container of baby food explode into your purse?  Yeah, that hasn't happened to me, either... but it COULD have! 

I've known about NurturMe foods for awhile now.  I thought that the world had more than enough infant/toddler food options out there, and would be lying if I said that I initially thought that the NurturMe products would be anything I would find myself saying I liked.  Freeze dried baby food?  Um...  I remember joking that they'd be perfect for little baby astronauts (what with their "freeze dried-ness".  Astronaut ice cream sandwiches anyone??)...

I was lucky enough to receive some great samples of NurturMe products awhile back, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.  The apples actually taste like apples (and not like mush--win!), the bananas taste great (although the texture is a little unique), the peas taste like peas (and the wee-est one liked his quite well).  What I love most about them is that they're SO darn portable.  I keep a few packets in every diaper bag just in case, as well as a few in the car.  My kiddos are old enough to not love purees now, but in a pinch, they work just fine.  Since every place I go will (most likely at least) have water/milk/something with which to mix up the purees, it's a win for me.

But my favorite part?  I can sneak fruits and vegetables into other dishes and make them healthy.  Spaghetti Sauce is a great place to hide veggies, in muffin batter or pancake batter is a GREAT place to hide fruits. 

The price on these isn't the absolute lowest price on baby food out there, but it's great, healthy, portable, and convenient, which is worth something--even to this cheapskate. 

Oh, and did I mention that I'm going to do a GIVEAWAY?!?

That's right!  All you have to do to enter to win a variety pack of NurturMe flavors is to jump on over to the NurturMe website have a little look around, and let me know (by leaving a comment) what flavor you would like most and/or how you would use the prize package if you received it. 

The winner will receive an assortment pack of NurturMe flavors, courtesy of One Cheery Cheapskate to enjoy!

  1. I would love the Squash because my middle child, who is 8, hates veggies and I hide veggies in muffins, pancakes, bread etc so this would be perfect

  2. My daughter loves bananas, but she has given up on purees. I however think she would love the apples because it would be just like applesauce, and there is nothing she likes more than dipping her grilled cheese in applesauce. I think these would make a great item to throw in the diaper bag for those days when you are away from home longer than planned!
