NurturMe,
the first and only family of certified-organic, dried fruit and veggie
meals, announced today they are expanding their award-winning line of
organic dried baby food – including the introduction of a 100% quinoa
rice cereal alternative, a new line of blended NurturMeals organic dry
meal pouches that combine delicious and nutrient-rich fruit and veggie
flavors, and a new line of bite-sized organic Yum-a-Roo’s dried fruit
and veggie snacks for toddlers. The first “stage-free” food for little
ones, NurturMe’s new convenient and healthy organic dry meal pouches and
fruit and veggie snacks make it even easier for busy parents to ensure
their children are getting maximum nutrition with every bite – from
infants to toddlers, and everywhere in between.
“Since
launching our single flavor dry meal pouches in 2010, we’ve continued
to search for innovative and sustainable new ways to make it easy for
busy, modern parents to ensure their little ones are getting the
nutrients they need,” Caroline Freedman, CEO and Co-Founder of NurturMe
and mom of two. “With our new expanded family of certified organic,
gluten-free, non-GMO and kosher products that cross all feeding stages,
we’re bringing convenience, versatility and peace of mind to a whole new
level. Just one NurturMe pouch equals countless healthy and delicious
opportunities for mealtime.”
Now
available in single or blended flavor options, NurturMeals organic dry
meal pouches are rich in nutrients and super versatile. Simply mix them
up with breast milk, formula or water to create the desired consistency,
or mix them in to toddler favorites like pastas, baked goods or yogurts
for a boost in protein and nutrients. In fact, NurturMeals is the only
baby food on the market designed specifically for the option to mix with
breast milk, providing even more nutrients with each feeding. In
addition to Crisp Apples, Crunchy Carrots, Hearty Sweet Potatoes, Plump
Pea, Scrumptious Squash and Sweet Bananas, NurturMeals Singles now come
in Protein-Packed Quinoa, which is the first and only certified-organic
pure quinoa meal created especially for children. Made from 100% pure
super grain, NurturMeals Quinoa is a healthier alternative to rice
cereal and supports growth.
Brand
new to the NurturMe family, NurturMeals Blends bring together
nutrient-packed superfoods such as green kale, quinoa, squash and banana
to delight developing taste buds with creative and delicious combos.
Available in four flavors – Squash, Bananas and Green Kale; Sweet
Potatoes, Oatmeal and Bananas; Peas, Quinoa and Apples; and Carrots,
Raisins and Sweet Potatoes – each pouch yields approximately 4 oz. of
prepared food. NurturMeals retail for a suggested price of $1.19 per
pouch for Singles and $1.49 per pouch for Blends.
Big
nutrition designed for little hands, NurturMe’s new Yum-a-Roo’s organic
dry toddler snacks are made from bite-sized pieces of fruits and
veggies that easily dissolve in the mouth. Tasty and good for little
ones ages 1 year and older, Yum-a-Roo’s are extra nutritious since they
contain veggies, in addition to fruit, and are dried – a NurturMe
process that preserves the nutrients, freshness and flavor. Kiddos love
the taste, and parents love that there’s 1.5 servings of fruits and/or
veggies in every pouch. Yum-a-Roo’s are currently available in two
flavors Tropical Twist (Banana, Mango and Pineapple) and Caribbean Crop
(Pea, Banana and Pineapple), and retail for a suggested price of $2.99
per each .75 oz. resealable pouch.
NurturMeals
and Yum-a-Roo’s are certified organic, gluten-free*, non-GMO and
kosher, with no added preservatives, sugars or salts – only the good
stuff. All NurturMe products are made in the USA from specially selected
organic super fruits and veggies that are lovingly harvested and
quick-dried in order to preserve freshness, flavor, phytochemicals and
other nutrients. Good for baby as well as Mother Earth, NurturMe’s
organic dry meals are packed in recyclable materials made with wind
energy, leaving a smaller carbon footprint on our planet than the other
options found in the baby aisle. From the soil to their spoon, each
earth-loving, lightweight NurturMe pouch provides added convenience and
peace of mind.

products are available for purchase nationwide online, as well as in
select Whole Foods, Kroger family and Babies R Us stores across the

My Thoughts
My children are a little too old for the Dry Meal Pouches but we tried out the toddler snacks and they were a huge hit with my two and three year olds. Each bag offers a mixture of dried fruits and vegetables that are so tasty, kids will mistake them for candy. My daughter wouldn't touch a cooked pea to save her life, but she is loving the dried peas mixed in with the tropical fruits and has no idea she's eating any vegetables.
The pieces are all bite size and practically melt in your mouth, so there's no fear of choking, even if you have a son like mine who shoves food in by the handful. The package also comes with a resealable zipper so the product will stay fresh. Not that I had to worry about that since my children ate a whole bag in one sitting. This stuff is actually better than most dried fruits I've tried and I had to stop my older kids, who are 10 and 12, from trying to steal it from their younger siblings.
Of course, the best part of the NutureMe Toddler Snacks is the fact that they're made from only the best organic ingredients. They are a healthy choice and a great tasting snack that encourage your kids to eat better at home and on the go.
