Ella’s Kitchen Review and Giveaway
About Ella’s Kitchen (from the Web Site) Here we passionately believe that Ella along with the rest of her generation, should get the opportunity to eat better and healthy foods. This all came to pass when my daughter, Ella, was little and I was trying to find the perfect foods for her to eat - healthy, delicious, and easy to pop into a backpack for our on the go lifestyle. I couldn’t find anything that fit this description, so my family and I went to work! We believe eating can be fun, tasty, and cool for kids. We take a “kid’s view” when making all our products from the color, texture, and flavors. In fact, it was a child’s idea for the smoothie names – yellow one, red one, why not right? Makes sense in a kids world and that’s what we aim to do – make kids feel safe to try and enjoy healthy foods in a fun way! My Thougths Ok so I don't need another excuse to preach to you about pouched foods. They are wonderful and Ella's kitchen is part of that … [Read more...]
