How We Develop Recipes for Optimal Nutrition
Want the benefits of homemade meals for little ones without the stress, time or money spent planning, shopping, washing, chopping, blending, packing, freezing, thawing and cleaning? Well, look no further. Our Organic, Cold-Pressed fruit and veggie blends are as fresh as homemade, but without the headache of all of the above.
As for the recipes, we offer different varieties specific to your little one’s age. Each recipe has been hand crafted by Founder Cassandra Curtis (mommy of 2 with one on the way!) with help from a childhood nutrition expert and pediatrician and is based on the foods that can and should be safely introduced at that age (or “stage” as we call it).
Baby Food Blends
5 Months and Up
Let’s start with 5+ months (or when you’re ready to introduce solids to your baby). These recipes are made with a single ingredient, such as mango in Magic Velvet Mango or pear in Fairest of Pears. We know that introducing new foods to your baby can be scary, so we want to ensure you introduce one food at a time (a best practice for all foods at this age, not just our pouches). That way you can easily narrow down the culprit if your baby isn’t loving a certain food or if for any reason there is a reaction to the ingredient. So why mangoes and pears, you ask? Well aside from tasting delicious, they are both gentle on the stomach and are very nutrient-dense as well.Magic Velvet Mango: Pure mango, plucked from sun-warmed branches and pressed into golden goodness. Comfy in the belly, high in vitamin A for bright eyes and B6 for bright minds, and enchanted with carotene to improve immunity. Simplicity can be marvelous.
- Ingredients: Organic Mango
- Ingredients: Organic Pear (we even keep the skin on for extra fiber and nutrition!).
7 Months and Up
Moving on to 7+ months, our recipes get a bit more complex. You’ll find our overall fan favorite in this stage: Green Kale & Apples. The 7+ month blends start to incorporate vegetables and healthy fats which are essential for a healthy diet. You’ll find healthy fats in all 7+ and older blends as they’re important for stable energy levels, nutrient absorption and optimal brain development. In addition to Green Kale & Apples, we also offer Wild Rumpus Avocado, Mama Bear Blueberry and Oh My Mega Veggie (plus a variety pack of all 4 blends)! Green Kale & Apples: Gobbling green things early makes it likely we’ll keep liking them. Especially when a boost of banana and juicy apple nudge leafy kale toward smooth and sweet. All that vitamin C aids absorption of iron from the veg, while a punch of protein and key amino acids crowd into tiny hemp seeds, keeping energy even and cells on the grow. Here, there, or anywhere you go- Ingredients: Organic Apple, Organic Kale, Organic Banana, Organic Hemp Seed
