Ella's Kitchen Review and Giveaway

When I was given the opportunity to review and host a giveaway for Ella’s Kitchen, I was pretty excited. Both Squish and I love their pouches. Yes, I said both of us! My personal favorite is the Yellow One, a great healthy sweet snack in a pinch. Kellan seems to be partial to either the Purple or Green one (Sweet Potato, Apples, Pumpkin, and Blueberry or Spinach, Peas, and Pears) the taste of all of them is fresh and you can taste every single fruit or vegetable in them. (I know because I have personally tasted every single one of them! I love knowing that even when we are not able to give Squishy food I make and control the ingredients on, that there is a healthy, easy, organic option.

When out box arrived I was so happy to see it filled with pouches of Ella’s goodness! They came just in time for us to take them on the plane to Minnesota too! One of my favorite things about Ella’s Kitchen (besides the fresh taste) is how easily they travel. I don’t have to worry about broken jars in my diaper bag, or the added bulk the jars have. Ella’s pouches are so convenient and smartly packaged that the TSA Agent who screen my bag and inspected them took a pouch over to show her boss who just had a little one not to long ago!

Should I have this one, or should I have this one??

Really and truly, that is exactly why I love doing reviews. I love sharing products that make my life easier or more fun. Ella’s Kitchen does just that. I can’t tell you how many comments we get every time we take the pouches of yummy organic food out and about with us. I don’t think there has been one single time we have used them in public and not been approached about what they are, and told how awesome they are!

On the Squishy rating scale, Ella's Kitchen gets an Very Squishable!!

(Disclaimer: The above is 100% my opinion and may differ from yours. While I did receive a few food pouches to review, no monetary compensation was given for this review.)
