I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Stonyfield. I received coupons to facilitate my shopping trip and a promotional item to thank me for participating. All thoughts and opinions in this post are 100% my own.
When I had my first child 11 years ago, I made a commitment to nourish our children with healthy, well balanced, fresh foods. After I was done nursing my daughter I had to decide what milk I wanted to give her. I chose Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk because it provided my daughter with all of the important nutrients she needed and all of their products are produced by cows who are never given antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones, and graze in pastures that contain no GMO’s, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, or pesticides. It was important to me to not put any of those chemicals into this tiny little person who became the most important thing in my life. As she grew older, I realized that it was hard to eat everything Organic all of the time, so for the food that we consumed everyday, multiple times a day, like milk and yogurt, I strictly purchased and served only Organic. A decade and 3 more children later, I still follow those guidelines for our family and my happy, growing children love all of Stonyfield’s organic products, especially their new yogurt pouches!
When my children come home from school, they throw their book bags on the floor, wash their hands and ask, “Mom, what’s for a snack?” It never goes any other way. These guys are hungry and I better have something ready for them! I am always looking for healthy, new snack ideas, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to try out Stonyfield’s YoBaby, YoToddler, and YoKids yogurt pouches; the first refrigerated organic yogurt pouches available. I knew my children would just love them. They come in a variety of flavors like Blueberry, Blueberry- Mango, Blueberry & Mango, Sweet Potato, Vanilla, Vanilla & Sweet Potato, Pear-Spinach-Mango, Strawberry-Beet-Raspberry, Strawberry and Strawberry- Banana that contain pure organic ingredients and never any high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. As a mother, I really liked the fact that some of the flavors contained both fruits and vegetables. My children are 3, 5, 8 and 11 and Stonyfield has a yogurt for each one of them!
We purchased several different flavors when we went to the grocery store and I let my children pick out their favorite for a snack when we got home.
Everyone decided to have one with a red cap, so my older 3 children chose a Strawberry YoKids pouch and my youngest chose a Strawberry Beet Raspberry YoToddler pouch for her snack. Yum!
My youngest particularly enjoyed these pouches because she really felt like a big girl. I couldn’t have been happier, because these pouches are really easy for her to handle and they make snack time a little less messy. Besides a few drips here and there, there wasn’t really any mess to clean up. Yay! The few drips I had to clean up were very light in color, so there was no staining on clothing or my tablecloth!
Because we have a large family, after grocery shopping our refrigerator can become pretty crowded. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place for everything, but these pouches fit perfectly, standing up or laying down on one of the smaller shelves which was nice and convenient.
All 4 of my children said these were really yummy and gave these delicious Stonyfield Yogurt Pouches thumbs up! They of course wanted another one right away, but it was almost dinner time. They were just as happy knowing one of these pouches would be packed in their lunch the very next day! I will definitely be purchasing more of these yogurt pouches the next time I go to the grocery store. They are a great snack, even a quick breakfast for that matter, and can be easily brought on the go in the car or for a family picnic this summer. You may just want to grab a few of these for your kiddos the next time you are in the yogurt aisle!
