I’ve always strived to serve healthy meals and snacks in our household. We regularly purchase organic foods to ensure that our entire family consumes foods in their purest and most natural form. When my son was a baby, I tried to make his baby food. Realistically, I did not (and don’t) have the time for elaborate, homemade baby food so I opted for a brand that was as close to homemade as possible. Most of my son’s early foods were by a company called Plum Organics.
Plum Organics was founded by a mom, just like you and I (except I’m not as savvy as she is!). Like myself, and maybe many of you, she wanted to make all of her son’s baby food so that he would consume the freshest and most nutritious baby food possible. We all want our children to enjoy mealtime. I get a little concerned if my son doesn’t want to eat because I truly want mealtimes to be a positive experience for him. Food habits and preferences are shaped early on so diversity was just as important as the quality of the foods I offered him. Here is a little more information about the company from the site:
Using baby-approved recipes and the finest organic ingredients, our products are cooked to perfection and then flash frozen to lock in freshness and nutrients. That’s why our foods retain more of their rich flavors, vibrant colors and textures.
Once my son passed the one year mark, he started losing interest in baby food (which is completely normal, by the way). Then it became increasingly challenging to find healthy foods he would eat. We tried some “toddler” meals available at Whole Foods, none of which appealed to him. I am so excited to tell you about a new line from Plum Organics and I sincerely wish it was available months ago (it’s actually not even in stores yet!). Plum Organics Tots is the “first and only complete line of organic snacks for toddlers.” Toddlers are picky (as I’ve experienced first hand). I almost think it’s easier to feed a baby than a toddler because at least babies are open to new foods. The company will launch three new snacks: Mish Mash, Fruity Fingerfuls, and Fiddlesticks. All of the snacks are certified organic by the USDA and come in BPA-free packaging.
My son had an opportunity to try Banana Mish Mash, a fruit snack in a squeezable pouch. We both loved the fact that he could feed this to himself without making a mess. His desire for independence grows each day but he doesn’t always have the dexterity to completely feed himself so I like that the pouches are toddler-friendly. Mish Mash is 100% organic fruit without added sugar, juice, colors, or flavors. I tried a little while my son was playing with the package and it tastes like a pureed banana…plain and simple. My son liked it too (I know this because he practically finished it).
Mish Mash along with the two other products from the Plum Organics Tots line will be available at Babies R Us stores in July and will retail between $1.39 and $3.49. I hope they make their way to Whole Foods too!
Profuse thanks to Mom Fuse for this review opportunity!

My granddaughter eats a similar product to this called Ella’s Kitchen. It is the fastest growing baby food line in the UK. She is now 20 months, but started eating it at 10 months and just loves the taste. She can feed herself so easily. The food is 100% organic and heathy. I found it so handy to have in her diaper bag when we were on the go. I am so thrilled to see the food is now sold in the U.S. since the family is now back in the states and they visit often.
