Smashies are Luvli!

We just sampled Smashies Organic Fruit Sauce from Luvli Foods in the Snappy Apple flavor and my kids slurped them right up. Yep, slurped. This apple sauce is like no other. When I was first pitched these as a mess-free snack alternative, I didn't believe it. I mean, my kids can make a mess out of anything. These are the exception. They are pure organic applesauce with no added sugar, salt or fat in a pouch with an 'sippable' opening.

The kids tore into them and had them gone in no time. I mean, they really, really liked them! They aren't the easiest crowd to please, either.

Smashies aren't in stores until October, but you can get samples for yourself at the website, a 10 pack Trade Sampler is $14.95 to anywhere in the continental U.S., which covers shipping and handling.

Product Review: Mott's

We had a chance to try out Mott's for Tots juices and Mott's Plus applesauce recently and this is what we thought.

When my younger children drink juice I usually cut it with water at a rate of about 50/50. Mott's for Tots has already done that for me. We had apple and fruit punch and the kids sucked them down like every other juice box we've ever tried. As far as they were concerned, it was just the same, in fact I think they asked for it a little more often than mom's doctored juice. For us, thumbs up!

If you check out their website, there are Printable Coupons for $1 off two Mott's products for kids.

Mott's Plus applesauce isn't necessarily for kids, but they all tried it and loved it as well. I like the flavors and the added health benefits of each. I didn't get to do it yet, but I bet baked goods made with flavored applesauce would be a good thing. I'll keep you posted on that! This was another thumbs up from us!
