I don’t think I’m an overly strict mumma who only lets their
children eat particular foods and I’m not a nutritionist or expert on snack
foods but I do more than often by pass the snack and lunch box foods in the
supermarkets for my own home made options or good ol’ fruit. I have however found a brand I am loving and i'm so excited to tell you about them and even better we're lucky enough to have a giveaway on them!
"little bellies" is an Australian Family Owned company who are
trying to keep their kids and ours in Organically certified healthier snack food options.
I had the privilege of spending the morning with some of the"little bellies" family recently and trying their great range of healthier food
options aimed at younger Children.
My
little Miss also loved trying all the products and checking its throwing and
eating off the floor suitability. Honestly I was surprised of how many products she
actually enjoyed and the foods I thought she’d avoid are now on my permanent
shopping list.
I've also used these recently as cake toppers and served them at parties as an alternative to chips.
All of my kids to my surprise are loving the cereal. I’m not
sure whether its just because they are numbers or what but the Peach flavour
seems to be a winner. I love the fact it is a cereal low in sodium and sugar
and made only with organic ingredients. We use this as a snack food, I take little
containers of numbers with me for baby to snack on. I have also used it as a number teaching
exercise!
If you’d like to know more about cooking, recipes and food info for babies and children you can
visit Mandy over at Little People Nutrition. Great website with lots of ideas. You can follow Mandy's facebook page too
They are found in most the major supermarkets. Ours are in the baby food aisle.

The fabulous Little Bellies family are generously giving one
of our followers a gift pack of their goodies to try!
Yay thank you.
Winners will be drawn Saturday 13th July

Sticks of cucumber and carrots and strawberries in slices is the favourite healthy snack for my son
ReplyDeleteI make my own cereal bars. So easy and my fussy daughter actually loves them. I usually use corn flakes, rice bubbles or wheat bix and then you just add yoghurt some SR flour and you can add fruit or honey or both. They are really yummy.
ReplyDeleteWe make a trail mix: Air Pop Popcorn, raisins, peanuts and rice bubbles.
ReplyDeleteGreat to make a big batch and keep in the cupboard for movie night and to take out when we go to the park.
Healthy fruit muffin and I will have a cup of tea with mine please
ReplyDeleteI have a muesli and sultana slice which only lasts a couple of days when it's made as it' so delicious. It does have butter and honey in it but is a better option than some of the other snack foods in the pantry.
ReplyDeleteZucchini and Corn mini-fritters, dipped in tzatziki, my litte man loves them!
ReplyDeleteHommus and mountain bread crisps
ReplyDeleteMy sons favourite food is strawberries, so the healthiest snack I make him is a fruit salad comprising strawberries, chopped banana pieces and grapes. He loves it!
