One of the favorite sponsors of last weekend’s Macaroni Kid Baby Brunch was Sprout.
Sprout makes wholesome, organic baby food products including pouches and toddler snacks. In fact, Sprout actually invented the very first baby food in a pouch! What you see on the packaging of a Sprout pouch is what you get inside the pouch and canisters. Sprout's organic blends are made only with ingredients you’d find in your own kitchen: whole fruits, vegetables, and grains - no concentrates, preservatives and nothing artificial. Sprout’s ingredients are always non-GMO (genetically modified organism).
For our Macaroni Kid Baby Brunch, Sprout provided us with a variety of baby food and snacks for our moms and babies to try: strawberry pear banana pouches; mango pouches; pear kiwi peas spinach pouches; red berry & beet with crispy brown rice Crispy Chews toddler snacks; Curlz broccoli canisters; Curlz sweet potato canisters; their new Quinoa Puffs canisters and Smash Tropical Twist fruit & super grain snack to name a few.
I must say I had some misgivings about the Curlz broccoli and the red berry & beet Crispy Chews but these snacks were a big hit with both Mac Kids and moms, and as one mom said in amazement about the red berry & beet Crispy Chews “this is really good! If I don’t like it, I don’t feed it to my son, and I love this.” A sentiment echoed by all moms at our MK Baby Brunch!
Research shows that starting babies on healthy foods early in development helps foster healthy eating habits through life. Teaching a baby to accept savory and complex flavors like leafy greens, can be challenging when young palates naturally gravitate towards sweet fruits. That’s why Sprout's recipes use a variety of fruit, vegetable, and grain blends that help babies adapt to new flavors and textures and provide greater exposure to wholesome foods. And boy did our Mac Kid babies adapt! Little hands reached inside the Crispy Chews red berry & beet toddler snack packs as frequently as they did inside the Curlz broccoli and Quinoa Puffs!
All our little ones loved the tasty combinations of whole fruits, vegetables, and grains in the Sprout organic foods they sampled. Moms were especially pleased that Sprout organic foods not only tasted great, but did not include any additives, fillers, thickeners, or preservatives! Suffice to say Sprout was a huge hit at the 2017 Macaroni Kid Baby Brunch!
