Feel Good Friday - product review 'Organic Bubs'

So I am one of those anal mums who never (very rarely) feeds their child anything that I haven't personally made.  I am not super woman and I often don't find time in my day to cook a fresh meal every evening but I do have a well stocked freezer full of nutritious and healthy meals that I have either made myself or my wonderful domesticated husband has made for Marley.  I would love to be one of those mums that finds time to cook a new and wonderful evening meal every day but I very much doubt it is going to happen anytime soon.

I became in touch with Organic Bubs and their new range of baby food products which they offered to send a selection from their menu of easily taken anywhere, fully organic baby food so I thought I'd check it out and tell you all what I thought.  I also enlisted the help of a few of the mums (and bubs - in fact more the bubs) and held an Organic Bubs picnic to do a little taste test for me as my two children are slightly outside of the age range for this product.

I did however come up with a few convenient uses for the organic bubs meals and snacks for Marley.  I like the fact that they are totally organic and that they have no nasties, sugar or anything bad added - this is a topic that is close to my heart especially when it comes to children as they trust is to nourish them and feed them good stuff.  We need to teach them good habits from the start and how to make good educated choices on the foods that we eat and is available to them at any one time.

I am also excited about having found an easily accessible food product that I would be comfortable to give to Marley in certain situations.  He is growing up and becoming more and more aware of food around him both good and bad - we can only shelter our little pure (not corrupted with sugar) soul for so long.  Summer time brings hot weather and I know I love enjoying and cold icy block on a hot summers day - downside is most of these ice blocks are little sugar sticks that I would rather not give to my son.  Instead I threw a yummy Mango, Peach and Banana puree into the freezer as Marley's  little treat.

The savory Organic Bubs products look appealing  especially as the quantity of juice in these ones is considerably less than some others on the market and they have interesting recipes like 'sweetcorn, pumpkin & chia', 'super vegetable rice congee' and 'banana and apricot power porridge'.  As India gets older I will cook for her as I do for Marley but it is great to know that there is a brand of baby food that I can find in my local shop or supermarket that if I find myself in need I can grab a good quality meal on the run.  And I will definitely be getting a few of the fruit variety to pop in the freezer to get us through the summer ahead.

Here are some comments from the mums of our little tasters

"Zara loved them.  I am not a fan of packaged baby food as it is easy to make it yourself but since they are all natural and organic I would definitely buy them.  Zara thinks they are great."
Alison Phllips & Zara

"It's great to have a healthy baby food on the go....or for those moments when there's no time or energy left to cook.  My only tip: don;t let your baby take charge of the feeding and squeezing!"
Elizabeth Lopez-Lightfoot & Alex

"My twin girls had their little mouths open eagerly awaiting more.  I also tasted them and the flavors were really good - you could taste how wholesome they were."
