If you are struggling to find foods that your kids will actually eat and enjoy, that are also foods that you feel great about feeding them I know your pain! I have some great options in my mom tool belt thanks to Babbleboxx! They sent me a box full of kid-friendly foods from some great brands.
Stop the Food Battle – Kid-Friendly Foods
I wish I could say I am a supermom but that just isn’t true, in fact most days are a struggle to keep it all together and moving for the family. So when it is time to feed the kiddos my brain doesn’t always know what to put on their plates. And, let’s be honest, those food battles get so exhausting. The challenge of finding Kid-Friendly Foods that are also foods I feel good about feeding them is an ongoing struggle for me too. Not to mention that the foods have to be something they approve of!
Getting this box full of goodies was exciting because I am always on the hunt for new kid-friendly food! After taste testing these great items I know we will be adding them to our meal and snack plans. Ready to dig in and see what items you need to add to your Kid-Friendly Foods list?
Classic Meatless Meatball from Gardein
My kids love meatballs. They both have since they were toddlers. Now, I know that a lot of people see MEATLESS meatballs and think I must be crazy to add these to a Kid-Friendly Foods list but guess what? You would be the crazy one because these are delicious. Not just kid-friendly either, I enjoy these Meatless Meatballs from Gardein a lot.
These meatballs are plant-based, certified vegan, non-GMO, dairy-free, and kosher! They are packed with 14 grams of protein per serving and taste like your grandmother’s meatballs. Plus they are free from Artificial colors & flavors, Preservatives, Cholesterol, Trans fats, PHOs and MSG. And for us busy moms Gardein has us covered for dinner – they are ready in as little as 8 minutes! Simply toss into your favorite sauce and boom dinner is served!
I have always loved using RAGÚ® products in my cooking and my whole family seems to enjoy their sauces as well. I was super excited to try the new RAGÚ® Butter Parmesan Sauce that was in our box. The new sauce option from the RAGÚ® brand is full of flavor from aged Parmesan cheese and real butter. Both Jude and Teagan love buttered noodles so the moment I read about this sauce I knew it would be a hit. No surprise that it was, and this sauce is now a staple in our pantry for those busy school nights.
Need an easy recipe idea using these new Butter Parmesan Sauce? This Real Deal 3-Minutes Mac Recipe is perfect for the picky eaters you find at your table. I love Mac and Cheese but what had me excited for this recipe was THREE MINUTES!!

Squeezable Organic Coconut Manna from Nutiva
Now, this is a new one for us so I was a bit nervous to see what we all thought of the Manna. Coconut Manna from Nativa is a delicious coconut butter spread made from organic pureed coconuts. It comes in three yummy flavors, coconut, almond, and chocolate. With only 1g of sugar per serving, this pure coconut spread is a healthy alternative to traditional nut butters like almond or peanut butter.
We tried the chocolate Nutiva Squeezable Organic Coconut Manna on some toast for our breakfast and it was fantastic. I can see using the Coconut Manna in my baking, smoothies, toasts, oatmeal and even as a dip for fruit. I love that it is Dairy Free and Gluten Free too. The pouch packaging is portable, mess-free and allows better portion control when dispensing. I am so happy this was included in our box, I don’t think I would have ever tried it if it wasn’t.
Ready to give it a try? Native has a special discount code for you to use. Use code “SQUEEZE25!” for 25% off all Organic Coconut Manna Flavors. Offer valid 8/13/19-11/13/19; cannot be combined with other offers, limit one use per customer.
Pantry Classic Ranch and Ketchup from Tessemae’s
When you think about condiments that you have to continuously buy I am sure Ranch Dressing and Ketchup are on that list. At least in our house those two items are a must have for the kids. Doesn’t seem to matter what the kids are eating, those two condiments are always finding their way onto their plates. Tessemae’s offers both Ranch and Ketchup that we find are way better than the other store bought brands.
Tessemae’s Ketchup is made with premium, organic tomato paste and naturally sweetened with organic dates and white balsamic vinegar. Plus, it is also USDA Certified Organic, Whole30 Approved, Keto Approved, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Vegan, Non-GMO, and with No Sugar Added. Look, if you are searching for a Ketchup that the whole family will love and makes mom feel good about the kids eating it at every meal…this is the bottle you need to grab! I was worried that they kids wouldn’t like the taste but they LOVED it and kept dipping away!
Now, for me, I love a good Ranch Dressing. YUM! Tessemae’s Pantry Classic Ranch meets my taste requirements! It is thick and creamy, with that classic ranch taste. Plus, it’s USDA Certified Organic, Whole30 Approved, Keto Approved, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, and with No Sugar Added. A perfect dressing for dipping veggies, appetizers, and chicken wings! While this was a favorite of mine the kids also enjoyed dipping their chicken nuggets into it. WIN!
Make sure you add Tessemae’s Ketchup and Classic Ranch to your meal times.
Probiotic Apple Sauce Pouches from North Coast Organic
Even though Jude and Teagan are past that baby food pouch age we are always buying the applesauce pouches for easy snacks and lunches. They love the pouches and I love how easy they are to take along with us anywhere. So, when I saw the Probiotic Apple Sauce Pouches from North Coast Organic in our box, I was super excited for the kids to give them a try.
These organic apple sauce pouches are not only delicious but they also help balance the friendly bacteria in your gut thanks to the carefully selected probiotics inside each pouch. These probiotics can help aid in any digestive issues your kiddos might have. There is nothing more important than keeping that gut health in mind when choosing what foods to feed your family.
