Giveaway! & Ella's Dad's Berry Happy Smoothie

I will only blog about products I believe in & use for myself & family. I try to find & buy the freshest pre-packaged goods imaginable if need be arises. I really try to also only buy organic when I am able. So...

Recently, when our NJ home was threatened by Hurricane Irene, I stocked up on fruit purees for Gabriel because, in case we were not able to get out to the supermarket, I knew my toddler would NEED his fruit! I was delighted to discover Ella's pouches in our store. Ella's are great & here are just a few reasons why:
  1. NO added sugar, salt or water
  2. NO preservatives or thickeners
  3. NO egg, wheat or gluten
  4. BPA free packaging
  5. 100% organic baby & kids food
  6. Orthodox Union Kosher
  7. Great for travel!
  8. Easy for recipe additions (see below)
  9. Re-sealable!
  10. The packaging- it's beautiful, fun, bright & happy!
Well Gabriel absolutely LOVES a few of the flavors so, although they are purees, we've stayed customers past the hurricane threat & I now use these for smoothies for my boy. Through blogging, I was asked, along with Gabriel, to become an "Ella Explorer" & we are happy to oblige.

Parents, sign up to be a friend! 50 lucky winners a month get a cool upcycled bag just for signing up!:

Berry Happy Smoothie

    I would share them with both my girls - both love the fruit pouches and I always keep some in the car or diaper bag too! Having a variety means we could be more adventurous in trying new flavors.

    I've never heard of this brand before! Leah loves other pouched fruits though! I'm making Lorelei's food but this would be great to have on hand in case it is ever needed!

    I "like" both of you! :)
