Infant Organics: More Than Baby Food

After having so much success with baby food from Infant Organics, I was very curious to learn about their other products for older kids (and adults too)!

After stopping in at their store 300 Randall St in Oakville, I went home with some great treats for my girls. I was excited to have them try something new. I also knew from the staff in the store, that these "treats" were providing my kids with a healthy snack or meal that wouldn't have them hungry again an hour after they eat. My girls are 2 and 5. They eat well and generally I don’t have a lot of trouble getting them to eat healthy food, but I do find our routine gets a little boring. I’m always looking for new and healthy options. My girls usually enjoy trying new foods.

With the ages of my girls, we’ve been talking a lot about where food comes from. We’ve visited several farms over this fall, and my girls love to learn. We’ve picked apples and pumpkins last week, and talked a lot about the great things the farmer does to provide this food. I loved being able to take the opportunity to chat with my girls about this again. The fresh ingredients used to make their snacks is 100% certified organic, and purchased from local farmers. My girls loved hearing that the food they were eating came from a local farm, just a day or 2 ago!

My 5 year old is also learning about recycling and composting at school. She is always asking us “which bin” for different products. She was so surprised to learn that the packaging was biodegradable and went right into the green bin! It reduces the waste in the landfills, but also provided my daughter with a great learning experience – something she could easily relate to, as she is also learning about it at school.



We've tried some great breakfast foods. A favorite of both girls was “flippin flapjacks”. My girls were happy to try something new for breakfast, and we had some smiles all around. I've enjoyed being able to switch up our breakfast routine from our usual cereal with milk, and I know I'm sending my girls off for their days with full bellies and a healthy start to their day.

We also tried many of the snack foods. I have to send one of my children with a snack every morning to her school. I also am always looking for easy and portable snacks to take with us in the van, and out at momstown events. I was so pleasantly surprised by the great snacks Infant Organics makes. My girls had 2 favorites, they said they couldn't decide between grams grahams and pancake poppers.



I also tried them and they are great! I keep these snacks in my freezer so they stay fresher. We take them out the morning we are going to eat them. They pop into one of our snack containers, and are defrosted by the time we are looking for our morning snack. It's easy, protable, healthy and taste great. Mom and kids are happy! We’ve also tested both out in the van, and overall, not a messy snack to take along!

If you haven't visited Infant Organics yet, it is worth the visit. You and the kids will be happy you did.

Infant Organics is planning to expand it's menu to include many great items for mom and dad too. This will make easy 1 stop shopping for you to pick up a healthy meal for the whole family.

Infant Organics is also now offering online ordering through their site with FREE delivery to Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Mississauga for the first two weeks!

Babies would surely benefit from all the nutrients they could get from these organic food.
