Happy Family-- Healthy, Organic Foods for Infants and Toddlers

    

     HappyFamily was the first premium baby food brand to enter the market in only five small grocery stores in Manhattan.  Last month, the company was recognized as one of the fast growing companies in the US by the Inc. 500 business awards, and is ranked fifth in the nation as one of the fastest growing organic food brands.  As of this writing, they are now sold in over 13,000 stores with nine lines of organic foods from infancy to toddler stages.

     Their product line includes: Happy Bellies Cereals, HappyMunchies, Happy Baby and Tot Pouches to FrozenHappy Bites among others.  Recently, the kind people from HappyFamily graciously sent over samples of their  HappyTot Banana, Peach & Mango Fruit Pouch, Happypuffs Strawberry Puffs (to my delight, they were gluten-free!) as well as their HappyMunchies Baked Organic Cheddar Cheese, Broccoli and Kale snacks. 

     The HappyTot Banana, Peach & Mango fruit pouch contains Salba, an ancient, gluten-free grain that contains healthy omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, iron and other nutrition-rich vitamins and minerals.  We found this blend sweet, but not too sweet, and tastes good either straight from the pouch or chilled in the fridge.  The pouches are portable and easy to use─ simply pop off the cap and your little one can have a delicious serving of organic fruits straight from the pouch.

     The HappyPuffs Strawberry Puffs is sweetened only with 100% organic fruit juice, and contains 25mg of Choline,  a nutrient found in the Vitamin B family, which helps to support brain development in infants.  HappyMunchies Baked Organic Cheddar Cheese, Broccoli and Kale snack are loaded with nutrient-rich kale and broccoli, with a light hint of cheddar cheese.  Our son devoured these, and we found that both the puffs and munchies dissolve very quickly in the mouth, are crunchy and flavorful, and are a great way to help to start and promote your little one on the road to self-feeding.   All HappyPuffs and Happy Munchies contain USDA approved organic, gluten-free (only the Strawberry and Sweet Potato flavors are gluten-free), dairy free ingredients, with no added sugar or harmful preservatives.  We noticed right away when we received these samples that the containers for the puffs and munchies contains more product per container than other competing brands, which is a great benefit.  They are extremely durable and conveniently recyclable.
