Review & Giveaway: Stonyfield YoBaby Meals

We have always been huge fans of Stonyfield products ever since Riley started eating solids. I started buying him the YoBaby yogurt because it was the only organic baby yogurt I could find in my grocery stores and then we fell in love! Yes! I eat my child's food! Bad mommy! I know! LOL I actually started buying the Stonyfield yogurt for me and Kyle and that is what we've stuck with ever since. Just recently Stonyfield came out with YoBaby 3-in-1 Meals! How cool, right?!

The Product: "YoBaby Meals 3 in 1: yogurt + fruit + veggies

Delicious new YoBaby Meals give you an easy way to give your baby or toddler the nutrition of three important food groups — dairy, fruit, and vegetables.

YoBaby Meals is scrumptious whole-milk yogurt with an ounce of fruit and vegetable purée on the bottom. Each Meals serving provides more than 20% of your little one’s daily needs for protein and calcium, plus other essential nutrients like zinc and vitamin A. And babies absolutely love the taste.

YoBaby Meals comes in three delicious flavors:

• Pear & green beans
• Peach & squash
• Apple & sweet potato

Like all our YoBaby yogurts, Meals is certified organic and specially crafted to meet babies’ nutritional needs.

Our story

There once was a little farming school

We started on a farm in Wilton, New Hampshire in 1983. We began as a farming school that taught sustainable agricultural practices. Our goals were to help family farms survive and to help protect the environment.

Samuel Kaymen, one of the country’s early authorities on organic and bio-dynamic agriculture, was our school’s founder and chairman. Gary Hirshberg, our current president and CE-Yo, was an environmental activist, windmill-maker, author, and noted entrepreneur when he joined Samuel on the farm.

At first, we sold yogurt only to fund our school. We had a leaky barn and just a few Jersey cows, but also a great recipe for scrumptious yogurt. Samuel and Gary did most of the work back then. They milked the cows, made the yogurt, made sales calls, and even delivered the yogurt.

And the school became a yogurt company

As our business grew, we realized a successful yogurt company could make a bigger difference for family farms and the environment than our school could, so we decided to run with yogurt. In 1988, we moved 30 miles east of Wilton to our custom-designed Yogurt Works in Londonderry, NH, where we remain to this day.

Now our organic ingredient purchases help to support hundreds of family farms and keep over 130,000 acres agricultural acres free of toxic pesticides and other chemicals commonly used on nonorganic farms and known to contaminate soil, drinking water, air, and food.

Our pure, delicious organic yogurts, smoothies, soy yogurts, ice cream, and milk are sold in supermarkets, natural food stores and colleges across the country."

 

Mommy Thinks: At first I was thinking that the meals wouldn't taste that great because lets face it, everything mixed together sounds gross. Then we tried them and I was amazed at how great they tasted. It's kind of funny because I really never would have thought that I could stomach them because I knew what was in them. We tried all three of the flavors and my favorite was the Apple & Sweet Potato probably because it tasted more like regular yogurt and obviously sweet potato is sweet! We will definitely keep purchasing these because it is easy to hand him one and know that he is getting not only dairy but also fruits and veggies!

Riley Thinks: Of course Riley loved these! He is a sucker for yogurt and loves fruits and veggies so these were right up his ally. His favorite was actually the Pear & Green Beans. 

What We Would Like To See: We obviously want to see more flavors! I can't wait to see what new flavor combinations come out next!
