Day 3 - Jada's Pick! Bitsy's Brainfood - Organic Chocolate Beets Smart Cookies!

Jedilynn picked out the Bitsy's Brainfood - Organic Chocolate Beets Smart Cookies! I'm almost certain that she didn't fully understand/realize what they were or what was in them! There is NO way my daughter would eat anything with beets in it, let alone in the name! OR SO I THOUGHT ANYWAYS! 

These Smart cookies are alphabet shaped and baked with REAL fruits & veggies! They are an excellent source of Omega-3 DHA + EPA as well as Vitamins A, B12, B6, D3 and Folic Acid. Bitsy's Brainfood Smart Cookies are also a great source of Calcium and Iron and have 8 grams of Whole Grains per serving. Not to mention they are non-GMO, kosher and made in a nut-free facility! This box of cookies also comes with collectible superfood stickers! 

They are made in a nut-free facility, but Ezio still can't have them due to his egg allergy. I did allow for him to try two of the cookies though and he loved them, no allergic reaction thankfully, but I didn't want to push our good graces with these cookies. 

Jedilynn absolutely loved these Organic Chocolate Beet Smart Cookies! I did NOT mention to her that they have beets in them nor did I explain/show her what beets are. She is not a healthy eater usually and is fairly picky... but she's an eight year old girl... that's pretty typical from what I hear and see. She loved that she was able to spell out Ezio's name with her cookies, but the silly girl didn't think to let me know so I could take a picture. Sometimes, kids (and heck even me as an adult) just need to be able to play with their food a little bit. As long as it is still edible and hasn't caused a huge mess... who cares!?

Jedilynn loved her cookies and in fact asked if we could buy MORE of them! I told her we would definitely take a look around at a couple natural food stores in our area and see if we could find them. According to Bitsy's Brainfood website they should be available at one of our local Whole Foods. 

With Jedilynn in public school, where lunch really is not all that great, tasting, health wise, etc, etc having healthy snacks at home is just that much more important to me. Cade and Ezio are home with me all day/everyday so I'm able to better monitor what they are eating. I was very pleased that Jedilynn loved the Smart cookies and even wants more! 

A third snack from the Great Kids Snack box that has won points from myself (mom), Jedilynn (8 years old) and Ezio (2 years old). While I did not taste them, I can simply give them a point off of two of my children loving them. So this makes a total of 5 points out of 30 in just 3 days of trying just 3 snacks! This is going great so far! 

Again, don't forget to check back tomorrow and see what one of the kids chose to try next!

Great Kids Snacks - Day 2 - Ezio's Snack of the Day - Organicasaurus Cheddar Corn Snack Review

Disclosure: We received a Great Kids Snacks box in exchange for our honest reviews of the snacks within, all opinions and experiences are 100% our own and may differ from those of your own. 

Day 2 - Ezio chose the Organicasaurus Corn Snack - Dino shaped Cheddar cheese puffs.

 

Today Ezio chose the Organicasaurus Corn Snack. This fun and healthy snack is packed full or REAL cheddar cheese and other organic ingredients. It is also non-GMO and gluten free. This is the only cheese corn puff on the market that can honestly say it is USDA Organic! Another plus for this fun snack is that it is baked and NOT fried! 

I hate to admit this, but Ezio has eaten Cheetos Puffs and absolutely loves them. Sad fact, I know. BUT! He absolutely loved these HEALTHY Organicasaurus Corn Snacks which are pretty much the healthy and still tasty version... or I guess as I like to call them, the mommy guilt free snack. Ezio is only 2 years old, so when he picked out this snack, I'm pretty sure it was just due to the fact of dinosaurs' being on the bag. I don't believe he realized that these would be so close to his favorite unhealthy snack. 

Ezio devoured the entire bag before I even knew it! I swear my children love the healthy snacks in our Great Kids Snack box MORE then their less or not at all healthy snacks! So far, Cade and Ezio have almost instantly devoured their two snacks. With other snacks, I often find half of the snack or half of the bowl full spilled on the floor.... I don't think there was a single crumb from these two snacks left behind. 

Another mom and toddler approved snack discovered in the Great Kids snacks box. How awesome is this! We are at a count of 2 plus' for Great Kids Snacks box now! I'm very satisfied already! Check back tomorrow to see if my picky daughter, Jedilynn, happened to find a snack in the box that she would actually eat and enjoy (other then the black olives because I know she loves those as much as I do)!

Great Kids Snacks! Cade's snack of the day - This Bar Saves Lives - Blueberry Pistachio (Review)

Disclosure: We received these products in exchange for our honest review, all opinions and experiences are 100% our own and may differ from those of your own.

 Today Cade chose to eat the This Bar Saves Lives - Blueberry Pistachio. 

I know Cade loves blueberries, but he's never had pistachios so I wasn't sure if he'd like this bar. However, he did! Seriously, I opened the package after taking the first photo, handed him the bar and while turning my camera back on he had about half of the bar gone already! AWESOME! 

This Bar Saves Lives are made with all natural, non-GMO and ethically sourced ingredients from the best farms around. This bar contains wild blueberries from Maine, roasted pistachios from California and clover honey from Wisconsin. Hey! We live in Wisconsin! It also has roasted almonds, a hint of sea salt and omega-3 rich flax seeds. Delicious, balanced and made with care right her in America. 

As Cade's mom, I was so pleased that he enjoyed this bar! I know they sell them locally and I've actually looked a This Bar Saves Lives a few times while grocery shopping, but never grabbed any because I was unsure that he would actually like it and eat. Thanks to the Great Kids Snacks box, now I know he will eat them! Such a better snack option instead of junk granola bars. 

Cade is quite the picky eater so I'm always on the mission to find healthy snacks such as this one that he enjoys, is good for him and also healthy. My only challenge with a lot of the healthy "granola bars" (as Cade calls them) is that I have to keep them out of Ezio's reach due to his allergies. It's like everything healthy contains tree nuts. However, this is not Great Kids Snacks fault or even This Bar Saves Lives, it's just an inconvenience for myself.

Have you and/or your children tried a This Bar Saves Lives?
If so, which flavor and did you enjoy it?

GrEAT Kids Snacks Box Intro. Review

GrEAT Kids Snacks Subscription box is a great way to keep your child snacking healthy all month long! As your children grab all-natural snacks each day they will start making positive decisions to build a stronger mind and healthier body. All of the snacks available through Great Kids Snacks are to help parents conveniently provide their children with a nutritional alternative to the artificial ingredients and chemical preservatives that are in the popular snacks that most children consume today. These snacks are in single-serve packages and Great Kids Snacks evaluates and selects snacks with all-natural ingredients, along with essential vitamins and minerals that children need to grow healthier each day.

Take the guess work out of purchasing snacks for your children, you no longer need to spend hours in the isles of your local grocers reading label after label. Great Kids Snacks has done so already so you can enjoy life and happy and healthy children!

We received all of these tasty snacks! Jada, Cade and Ezio all went through the box together and picked what they would like to try. We set up a "plan" so that they could have one snack a day, that way we could make our healthy snacks last. I did have to go through the box and separate what Ezio could and could not have due to his food allergies, which was perfectly fine with me. I just wanted to make it less of an issue when Ezio picked out his snack each day.

The snack box comes with a large variety of many different snacks! There were no two of the same snack which was awesome and helped to widen the variety in which they could choose from. Typically most children will try something and like it and then just want to continue eating that one flavor that they tried. This box gets the children to try more things. We had snacks ranging from black olives to granola type bars and even fruit snacks! Lets not forget Ezio's favorite snack ever, anything in the pouches!

What type of snacks do your children typically eat? I'll say one thing is for sure! This box got my super picky eater, Cade to try so many different tastes and textures. He loves his snacks, it's meals that are far and few between on what he will or will not eat. So this box was perfect for getting fabulous nutrients and essential vitamins into his body for healthy growth.

Check back to the blog daily to see the new snack one of my children has chosen to munch on for the day! I'll do my best to limit them to one snack per day to try and give updates for as many days in a row as I can!

In the meantime, visit Great Kids Snacks and check out the variety of brands that they include in the boxes and maybe even subscribe for your own child(ren) as well! Also, visit Great Kids Snacks on Facebook, on Twitter at @greatkidssnacks, and also on Pinterest.
