Gerber Grabbers: Review

September 7, 2011 By Beth Leave a Comment

If I had a nickel for every time I heard, “Jack do it all by himself,” I could quit my day job. Like any typical 2 year old, my son wants to do everything with no help. As you can imagine I spend a lot of time cleaning up after the mess he makes. Finally, a solution to the messy snacks! Gerber has come out with a new product called Graduates Grabbers. These snacks are perfect for on the go and for youngsters that want to be independent. My son loves the fact that he can have them in the car, at the park and just about any where we go. I love the fact that there is no clean up. From Gerber Grabbers website:

Product Highlights

Made with 100% natural fruit
2 Servings of fruit per pouch*
Excellent source of Vitamin C & E
Unsweetened, unsalted, no added starch, artificial flavors or colors

*One serving is 1/4 cup of fruit for toddlers

Not only are the Grabbers full of vitamins that your toddler needs, they are also in the words of my son, “very very delicious.” They come in five different flavors: Banana Blueberry, Apple, Mango & Strawberry, Apple and Sweet Potato with Cinnamon, Pear & Squash, Apple, Pear and Peach. Although we liked all of the flavors my son and I both agree that the Banana Blueberry was the best and they were even better once they were refrigerated. The pouch is rather large and Jack never finished one in a single sitting; however, since it has a resealable top, we put it in the refrigerator for later. For an easy to go, easy to stow you can’t go wrong.

Gerber Graduates Fruit and Veggie Melts Review

August 1, 2011 By Beth 2 Comments

Asking my son what he would like to eat will always get you the same response: “nuggets and fries.” Getting him to eat anything healthy is a challenge everyday. Now that Gerber Graduates has come up with fruit and veggie melts he is eating healthy and doesn’t even know it.

“GERBER® GRADUATES® Fruit & Veggie Melts™ Snacks are made with a NutriProtect™ blend of vitamins A, C and E for healthy growth and natural immune support and each package delivers 3 fruit/vegetable servings with a taste toddlers love.”

If you look at the ingredients list on most toddler snacks, most of them are quite unfamiliar. However, that is not the case with the Gerber Graduates Fruit and Veggie Melts. My son really enjoyed the Very Berry Blend and the ingredients list read like a parent’s dream: Squash, Apple, Banana, Carrot, Strawberry, Blueberry and several other fruit and vegetable juices with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Every bag contains three servings of fruit/veggies and only 25 calories and only 4 grams of sugar per serving. My son absolutely loves these melts and ever since we received them they have been a staple on my grocery list. Check these out at your local grocery store along with Gerber Graduates meals, drinks and other snacks.

This post is the opinion of Beth of Experimental Mommy. While a sample product was received to facilitate this review, all opinions remain 100% honest.

Gerber Graduates Snacks: Even Mom Will Love Them

May 20, 2011 By Beth 1 Comment

When it is time for us to leave the house it always gets a little crazy. Jack usually insists on having a snack in the car and sometimes it is not the easiest job to find something healthy for him to eat while we are on the road. Gerber has come up with a solution for those on the go snacks and is keeping them healthy.

We received Gerber Graduates for Preschools Fruit Twists, Gerber Graduates Yogurt Melts®, and Gerber Graduates Lil’ Crunchies®. All of the snacks are between 25 and 35 calories per serving. The fruit twists are made of 99% concentrated fruit juice and the yogurt melts are 99% real yogurt and fruit. Not only are they good for your children, they are so tasty that even moms can enjoy them too. They come conveniently wrapped in resealable containers that easily fit in the diaper bag or your purse. The best part of these snack is that they don’t make a mess which means no sticky hands or crumbs all over your shirt!

Jack and I both sat down and tasted all four products and while we loved each one of them, my favorite was the Apple & Strawberry because it was a little sweet. Jack’s favorite was the Strawberry Yogurt melts; he ate them like they were candy and did not even realize that they were good for him. I will definitely be buying some of these to keep in my purse for when I am on the go as well.

Happy Snacking!!!!
