Homegrown Eating

I feel like the first few months of having a baby will fly and little miss will be ready for some food (other than milk) before I even blink! I plan on making majority of her baby food (using this) but I also know in reality I’ll need some more convenient and less time-consuming options at times.

With having such a strong passion for organic food, I really don’t think it is ever too early to focus on ways you want to nourish your baby beyond just milk when the time comes! I did some research to find out which brands had the same mindset I do regarding organic foods and I was so excited to find two that I plan on buying for our little babe!


Stonyfield’s YoBaby Yogurt and Once Upon a Farm were two brands that really stuck out to me because I LOVE their missions. Most of you know I’m a fan of Stonyfield’s ingredients and use them a lot when cooking or baking, but Once Upon a Farm was new to me. They are keeping it as close to home as possible by never adding sugars, preservatives or ingredients you can’t pronounce in their food. Sign me up!

Stonyfield also just came out with a new flavor (Banana/Mango Yobaby Yogurt, sounds SO good, even I want to try it!) which now contains the probiotic culture BB12. In addition to live active cultures, Stretococcus Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidus, Lactobacillus Casei, and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, their yogurt now contains the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis lactis BB-12 that has been shown to have a digestive health benefit. Stonyfield has also started using PLA cups (meaning, they are made from plants!) How awesome is that?! (And hello Earth Day friends!)

Really great ingredients that are really real, make me really happy. Say that ten times fast. 😉

 

While your little one is snacking on some goodness, you can sip on some too with an Aloha Smoothie or a Peaches and Cream Ginger Smoothie (both made with Stonyfield yogurt). Maybe if we start drinking tropical things the temperatures will start to rise outside too! 😉 *Thank you to Stonyfield and Once Upon A Farm for sponsoring this post.*
