Ripe Baby Food – Tasty & Healthy!

By Shelley

I currently am having a very difficult time getting Travis to eat anything that isn’t toast with butter or bananas. You wouldn’t think that I would be having such a hard time given that his first solid food was broccoli and he loved it, but alas, he has gone from Super Eater to Super Picky, so when I saw a bag ofKamoo Bars from local company, Ripe Baby Food, I thought, “What have I got to lose?” Turns out, I needn’t have worried!

I bought a bag of Ripe Mixed Flavor Kamoo Bars, and creator/mom Angela threw in a bag of Ripe Organic 5-Grain Mush for me to try out as well. Travis and I devoured the tasty bars, choosing from three flavors:OrganicApple, Carrot and Oatmeal; Organic Rhubarb, Apple and Spelt; andOrganicSpiced Pumpkinand Spelt. I’m not sure which one we liked best, but I know I was happy not to feed him the same old, same old for our afternoon snack.

Ripe Baby Food’s Kamoo Bars are made from organic ground grains and fresh organic produce, and they are just the right size for small hands. Twice baked, these gourmet bars come in five flavours. It says on the company’s website that they are suitable for children 10 monthsand older, and they truly are a perfect finger food for snacks or on-the-go.All Kamoo Bar flavoursare wheat-free, dairy free, nut-free and contain no white sugars.

As for breakfast, I’ll let this video of Travis speak for itself! He is enjoying the Gingerbread FlavorOrganic 5-Grain Mush with a touch of vanilla yogurt. It includes five Canadian-grown organic grains: barley, kamut,oatmeal, rye and spelt, which are combined with a mixture of spices. My favorite aspect is that the mixture is sugar-free, so parents can control the level of sweetness. You can mix it with yogurt, smoothies, fresh fruit, raisins, or applesauce to sweeten it up for your little monkey.

You can order your Kamoo Bars or 5-Grain Mush online through Ripe Baby Food’s website. Each Kamoo Bar bag contains 10 bars for $7.50 CAD, and a bag of 5-Grain Mush (approximately 12-14 servings) is $8 CAD. Happy healthy eating!
