Not Just Baby Food: Beech-Nut Natural Foods!

Beech-Nut baby foods have been a part of my life for a long time, and the latest line is "Just" awesome!

I was honored with the chance to present this wonderful product to my Mom group, thanks to Green Moms Meet.

And yes, when presented with creative combos of fruits, I had to play.

I got out my handy ice-pop maker, and voila...perfect for that cranky teething baby! I used Just Pear and Black Cherry and Just Pineapple, Pear and Avocado. Yes, a sweet, fruity puree with avocado. It's really good, too.

I brought out vanilla ice cream, and Just Apple and Aronia Berry went into the blender with it.

It was yum. Seriously.

I also broke out the Just Honeycrisp Apple over the ice cream, with a dusting of cinnamon. It was VERY well received.

 

I loved all of the flavors, though the Pineapple, Pear and Avocado took some getting used to. That was considered the least favorite by the group as far as taste, but many said that since it contained the avocado, they would be interested in buying it anyway. The texture was  roundly praised for being smooth, but not too thin. We had all fruit flavors to try, but the consensus was that since they were so good, they'd want to try the whole line. And the jars are adorable!

I had a sneaky little one grab her own jar. As you can see, she's a happy girl.

 

The boxes that the jars came in were very cute, and kids need to be entertained, so I set up a craft area where the kids could decorate the boxes.

There was much fun had by all.

My assessment: This is as good as what I make in my own kitchen, with the convenience of store-bought baby food. It's a wonderful product, and it translates past babyhood into other age groups, even adulthood. I can't wait to try the other flavors.

 

I received free products to share with my group for testing and review purposes. My opinions are my own.
