Peter Rabbit Organics–Review and Giveaway!

Peter Rabbit Organics contacted me to see if I was interested in doing a review for their fruit and veggie pouches.
I was really excited.
This would be easy.
We had already fallen in love with these snacks.
In fact, the day I heard from them, Levi had just slurped down a pouch at Starbucks!

So when they sent me a nice boxful, we had no problem getting the kids to “try” them all.

And that’s what I love.  Everyone thinks these taste great!  They are not “baby food” pouches.  They are healthy-whole food-on-the-go pouches.  Good for any age.

Just our style!

Here’s what they’ve got:
Four fruit blends,

And three veggie/fruit blends:

Peter Rabbit Organic pouches are all organic, contain 100% fruit and veggies, and have NO added sugar or anything artificial.
These pouches are high in vitamin C, have between 70-85 calories, 0 fat, and 1.5-2 grams of fiber.
I love that you don’t have to refrigerate these before you open them, and that they come in BPA-free resealable pouches.

AND they are the perfect size for little hands.

Keeps my little one busy at the skate park while he waits for his brothers:

He sucks em dry.

And the other boys don’t mind slurping these things down at all.
The taste makes them stand out from any competition.  They taste like a real smoothie in a pouch.

Pre-surf:

Or just being cool:

They make a great, healthy snack after a long day working on the computer.  (Somebody’s gotta do it.)

You can get these pouches at Starbucks, in select Whole Food Markets, and other grocery and health food stores.  You will also find them on Amazon.com, Diapers.com, BabiesRUs.com, and Spud.com!  (You can also visit their site at peterrabbitorganics.com.)
Starbucks is where I usually get them.
Which leads me to a quick story–I hope you don’t mind:

Back when I only had two kiddos–and Josiah was about four and Jonah was two, I was teaching aerobics at our local gym.  This gym is conveniently located next door to Starbucks.  SO, after teaching a class, it was my little “treat to self” to stop in at Starbucks.  Back then, Starbucks sold little lollypops right at the checkout counter–does anyone remember those?  
Well, to keep a very high-energy 2- year old happy, I would often give in and buy Jonah the lollypop that he begged for.
Besides that, we all ate pretty healthy, and I didn’t give my boys much sugar.

But by four or five years old, Jonah had a number of cavities!
I was devastated!  Since we fed the boys so healthy, and took good care of their teeth, I couldn’t figure it out.  But after some time, I started to think about those darned lollipops!  I felt so guilty knowing that MY coffee habit, caused me to cave and feed my little guy sugary treats WAY TOO OFTEN.

Fast forward eight or so years.  Baby Levi is here, and he also is lugged along with Mom to Starbucks often.  
But here’s the difference:  There are no longer lollipops at the cash register (someone please tell me who to thank!)
Now there are Peter Rabbit Organic pouches!
And I feel absolutely great about “caving” and letting Levi have one.  Or two!

Our pediatric dentist would certainly agree! 

Now I get the FUN job of hosting a giveaway!  Peter Rabbit Organics will send a box of 12 assorted pouches to a lucky winner.

All you have to do to enter is answer one little question in my comments below, and I will draw randomly from all of the comments:

Question:  How many servings of fruits and vegetables have you eaten in the last twenty-four hours!?  Don’t be embarrassed–we could all improve in this area!

I will choose a name on Saturday night    Wednesday, Nov. 16th–and announce the winner Thursday!  (NOTE:  I extended the days because I don’t think I gave long enough to begin with! Comment to win!)

Aloha, and here’s to good slurpen!
