Review and Giveaway: Tastybaby Frozen Organic Purees CLOSED


Tastybaby Organic Frozen purees come in 8 delicious flavors ranging from stage one options of Hip 2B Pear, Life's a Peach, Corn in the USA, and Squash EM'; stage 2 choices of Peas on Earth, Bangos, and Sweetie Pie, and a stage 3 Mama Mia. Tastybaby frozen purees are blast frozen to preserve vitamins, enzymes and nutrients.  

About Tastybaby® Organic Purées
(taken from sponsor site)
Tastybaby® is widely recognized as one of the most innovative brands in the specialty baby-food
market due to its state-of-the-art blast-freezing technology and its departure from the traditional,
highly processed, jarred foods, which previously dominated the baby food category. The Company’s
original, 10-item line of 100 percent Organic Frozen Baby Food was designed for three stages of
infant development. This line is minimally processed and contains no additives, preservatives or
stabilizers. It’s also free of gluten, GMOs, added salt, added sugar, and citric or ascorbic acid.

Environmentally Friendly
Tasty Brand, Inc. uses the most eco-friendly packaging available.  The Company also  supports
Sustainable Agriculture, Fair Trade practices, and multiple non-profit organizations.

Over Thirty Mommy's ThoughtsWe had a difficult time locating the foods at our local stores but were finally able to find the organic frozen purees after visiting 4 stores.  We never did find the fruit snacks that I was most excited to try.   Even though Wiggle Bean is 15 months, we got the Hip 2B Pear and Life's A Peach flavors from the stage one group and the Bangos from stage two.  Bean likes fruit pouches so I knew she would love these purees and I was not wrong.  Bean is currently cutting her incisors and likes to have cold foods to sooth her gums.  I used a fork and "shaved" off some of the frozen puree and put it into her Fresh Food Feeder.  She loved it, emptying the feeder it in no time, and was asking for more.  It was basically a banana mango Popsicle (with out all the bad sugars!), and it helped her through the pain of teething.  She is still working on mastering her utensils (messy process) but likes trying to scoop the puree from the little container, occasionally she gives up on the spoon all together and just slurps it straight from the dish (really need to work on those manners but it is so cute).

I really like that they are organic and have minimal ingredients. The entire ingredient list for Bangos consisted of organic banana, organic mango, water and organic vanilla.  It couldn't be simpler than that.  Man to they taste good!  I sampled a little (just being a good mom and trying it out for her) and wow YUM.  I debated eating the rest of the container but she gave me that little smile and I knew I had to save it for her.

Would I buy them again?  Absolutely!  I will continue to search for the fruit snacks but will definitely be buying the frozen purees again (ans soon if she keeps going thought them like water!)
