So, as I’m perusing through the isles of Toys R Us, I spot something that catches my eye. I’m always looking for the newest, yet still simplest, way to incorporate healthy foods into my kids diet. Out jumps Organic Mashups Squeezable Fruit. These 3 oz. “juice pack” looking things, with a twist off top are packed with organic fruit purees, actually made from real fruit purees!! Usually these kinds of items look great, but when I check out the ingredients, they are blends of fruit concentrates and high fructose corn syrup. Not these! I was also very impressed with the variety of fruits used—pear, mango, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, banana, and the always faithful grape and apple. They have an “our never evers…” section on the label touting how they never ever use trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial ingredients. All the fruits are certified organic, pureed and packaged without preservatives or any additives. What you see is what you get. They taste great, are ultra convenient, and perfect for lunches or on-the-go moms looking for a healthy alternative to packing the actual fruits themselves.
