Ella’s
Kitchen have created a new range of snacks for toddlers, suitable from 12
months, called Munchy Biccies which are according to Ella’s Kitchen “great for
little hands and mums and dads on the go!”
These "gently baked wholegrain, cheese and apple biscuits" are 100% organic with absolutely no concentrates or refined sugars
and are suitable for vegetarians. There
are 3 varieties available – Cheese and Apples, Cinnamon and Orange
We
were sent a bag of the Munchy Biccies Cheese and Apples for Tristan to
try. As will all of Ella’s Kitchen’s
products the packaging is bold and bright with the colour representing the
flavour, i.e. bright green for apples.
The 20g bags are the perfect size to pop in your bag so that you have a
healthy snack to hand for your little one when out and about.
Tristan
loves these Munchy Biccies; he devours them finishing the little bags in a
flash. He happily munches on these yummy
treats that are a great hit with my little man; I struggled to get pictures of
him eating one as he was enjoying them so much and he likes to have a biccie in
hand ready to pop in his mouth once he has finished with the one he is already
eating. The biccies are a great size for
my little man to feed himself and even though he feeds himself brilliantly
already I love that these mini biccies help encourage self feeding and are great
for developing and perfecting the pincer grip and hand eye coordination. I have had a little nibble of one of these
biccies myself and the taste is great and I love the classic combo of cheese
and apples. The biccies are savoury with
a hint of sweetness, they are firm to the touch and are a crumbly, soft texture
when eaten.
Tristan
loves his food and has a fantastic appetite, eating me out of house and home
already and when we go out I have to make sure I have an abundant supply of
snacks to keep his appetite satisfied; my bag is always filled with fruit
(which he loves!!), a few biscuits and oaty bars. These Munchy biccies have become one of the
top snacks I grab to put in my bag for when we are out and about for when the
need for a snack hits as they keep my little man happy and satisfy his hunger
and I like that they are a healthy snack for him to have. I know that he is getting an organic snack
that is a healthy alternative to sugar filled products with these and Ella’s
Kitchen is a brand that I trust to give my little man tasty and healthy snacks
with no added nasties. I love that these
biccies help fill my little man’s tummy keeping him fuller for longer and
giving him energy for all of his little adventures as he is always active
mastering new skills and exploring his surroundings. I will definitely be getting more of these
and hope to find a local stockist (the downside of living in the sticks is that
the range of snacks at stockists is rather poor compared to the city) to get
some and we will be getting the other flavours to compare and give Tristan a
variety; the Cinnamon and Oranges sounds yummy and I think it will also be a
hit with Tristan as he has loved the food I have given him that has had
cinnamon in.
These
tasty Munchy Biccies cost £1.79 (RRP) for a big bag that contains 5 small 20g
bags and can be purchased from Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys. The price is on average with other toddler
snacks on the market and I am happy to pay this amount for a healthy, tasty
snack that I know my little man loves. You
can see all of the Munchy Biccies range on the Ella’s Kitchen website as well
as their baby food and other snacks including their other new range of snacks
for toddlers called Nibbly Fingers. The
Nibbly Fingers also comes in 3 varieties – Strawberries and Apples, Bananas and
Raisins, and Mangoes and Carrots; I will definitely be getting these for
Tristan to try. Ella’s Kitchen has a fun
and informative website, where you can also ‘Become a Friend’ and as a friend
you get a fab free weaning guide and money saving coupons. Keep up-to-date with their news by joining
them on their facebook page and following them on twitter @EllasKitchen.
Along
with the Munchy Biccies we also got sent some sunflower seeds. I have started getting all green fingered of
late, planting lots of fruit, veg and beautiful flowers and will be planting
these seeds so we can have some beautiful sunflowers brightening up our garden.
A
little about Ella’s Kitchen.
Ella’s Kitchen was created by a dad, Paul who passionately believes that his daughter
Ella and her generation should have the opportunity to eat good, healthy food
that is fun and tasty. They create tasty
foods and snacks for little once that contain natural ingredients that ooze
goodness, with baby foods and packaging that appeals to little ones focusing on
appealing flavours, colours, textures and names of their products. They have also researched the important role
that all 5 senses have in developing eating habits and provide parents with
information about this on their stuff for the senses webpage. Ella’s Kitchen products encourage healthy
eating habits and their range provides parents with healthy and organic choices
for their little ones that are convenient too.
Ella’s
Kitchen also likes to help the environment and have teamed up with eco-friendly
TerraCycle and their Upcycle Campaign.
The concept is simple you just save your used baby food pouches and send
them free of charge to TerraCycle who then upcycle them to make creative and
interesting bibs, lunch boxes etc. Not
only by participating are you helping the environment by reducing the amount of
pouches that end up on landfills but by sending in the pouches to be upcycled
TerraCycle make a donation to your choosen charity for every pouch they
receive. The Campaign is great for the
environment and fantastic causes too.
