Review and Giveaway: Happy Baby Organic Foods CLOSED


During the Baby Shower Extravaganza, I introduced you the the Happy Baby Organic Guide to Baby's First 24 Months. Along with this great guide, Happy Baby also had a full line of fantastic organic foods for babies and toddlers.

I attempted to make all of Wiggle Bean's early foods from the organic produce that we have delivered to us semimonthly.  I would make big batches and freeze them in ice cube trays for future use.  This was great in theory but not always convenient when I was on the go or for packing her lunch for daycare.

It is very important to my husband and myself to feed Wiggle organic food wherever possible.  We feel that the levels of hormones and pesticides in the food sources now are too high for their tiny bodies. 

HAPPYBELLIES Brown Rice Cereal Contains DHA and Probiotics, Organic, 7-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6)
Happybellies Organic Cereals: The Happybellies cereals are enriched with DHA for eye and brain development, plus iron, vitamins and minerals essential to baby's health.  They also incorporate the power of probiotics to help strengthen your baby's digestive system which can protect against the development of allergies The cereals come in three varieties (all certified organic) Brown Rice, Multi-grain, and oatmeal. 

We tried the Organic Oatmeal Cereal and Bean really liked it.  We added a little pureed fruit for added flavor since Wiggle is a little older.  She loved it!

Happy Family Happy Baby - Stage 3: Gobble Gobble and Paradise Puree, 12-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
HAPPYBABY frozen meals: Happy Baby frozen meals are the next best thing to homemadeWith 12 individually frozen cubes in each package, there is no waste and since the cubes can be popped out of the packaging, there is no need to heat in plastic (no BPA).  They come in 8 different packages of 15 delicious varieties, I was not fortunate enough to locate any of the meat options like turkey, salmon or chicken.  We did try the Yes Peas + Thank you Carrots  and the Baby Dhal + Mama Grain.  Both were liked with the Mama Grain being very well received.

Happy Family Happy Bites - Mac & Cheese, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)Happybites: Happybites are nutritionally balanced meals for your toddlers and young children.  They come in great options like Salmon Sticks, Mac+Cheese, Fish Bites, Veggie Tots, Chicken Bites, and Breakfast Pockets.  What is even better is that they are packed with hidden veggies in every bite (great for those picky eaters!)  Wiggle is a Mac+Cheese fiend and eats it up any chance I let her but she also really liked the Fish Bites and Salmon Sticks. 


HAPPYBABY Organic Puffs, Greens Puffs, 2.1-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6) 
HappyPuffs: Wiggle has been a lover of puffs since she started foods.  They make a great snack and are perfect for on the go in the car or diaper bag.  I was so excited to see that Happy Baby had an organic option for us.  HappyPuffs are made from whole grains, come in three organic flavors (Banana, Greens and Apple) and are supplemented with vitamins and minerals.  While their packaging looks the same size as their competitors, they actually come in green packaging that allows them to offer 40% more in each container, while passing savings on to their customers.


Happy Melts Organic Yogurt Snacks - Strawberry
HappyMelts: Happymelts are the only organic freeze dried yogurt snack on the market and the only baby food with prebiotics and probiotics! Made from organic yogurt and fruit, Happymelts make a healthy, protein rich and low-sugar, snack for your little ones (and you!)  Happymelts are available in Banana Mango, Strawberry, and Mixed Berry flavors.  They are gluten free and contain no Preservatives.   Wiggle Bean could not get enough of these and they are a great way to get her to have yogurt with out worrying about it ending up splattered on me and my floor!


Over Thirty Mommy's Thoughts:
We have been a Happy Baby family for some time now.  Bean seems really happy with all the different foods that we have tried and we are happy that they are organic.  I have to get more of the Mac+Cheese patties, they are so much easier (and less messy!) that regular Mac+cheese and they are packed with veggies.  I am looking forward to trying the HappyTot pouches out when they come back to my local stores.
