Review: Revolution Foods Grammy Sammy Strawberry Yogurt Flavor

As a mom, I try to be conscientious of what goes into my kids bodies.  We limit their sweets, make sure they get plenty of fruit and veggies, and on and on.  One of the most challenging stages for me personally with that, is the early toddler stage.  When they aren’t quite ready for sitting down to a plateful at dinner, but want to feed themselves.

Enter Revolution Foods Grammy Sammy’s.  The come in 3 flavors-Honey Graham & Strawberry  Yogurt, Cinnamon Graham & Vanilla Yogurt, and Cocoa Graham & Banana Yogurt.  They are soft baked with organic yogurt filling. They use 100% Whole Grains, no High Fructose Corn Syrup EVER, and no artificial ingredients.  Each one is wrapped individually for easy packing.

I recently had a coupon for Babies R Us, and seeing as how I live in the boonies, our closest “R Us” store is over an hour away.  I went browsing online to see if there was anything we wanted/needed to get and stumbled on their toddler feeding section.  They were have a 10 for $10 sale on a bunch of the Revolution Foods products so I jumped on it!

In this area, finding anything organic/HFCS free, etc. is very difficult outside of the obvious cutting/mashing up your own fruits and veggies.  Which is fine, but sometimes you want EASY!  When we got the box, I immediately ripped it open with Wyatt (age 2 1/2) and Ree (age 1) helping.  Wyatt saw the boxes which have pictures of the sammy’s and fruit, and started screaming “BERRIES! BERRIES! BERRIES!” (this is a boy who loves his berries for sure).  I opened up one of the  Honey Graham & Strawberry Yogurt flavor, and it smelled SO good!  I had to take a bite before I’d give it to the kids.  One word-YUMMY!  Nice and soft, and the strawberry flavor from the yogurt was just divine.  I was initially afraid the graham portion would be tasteless, but it’s not.

Wyatt wouldn’t try it at first, he was very disappointed that it wasn’t a berry like he saw on the box.  I gave one to Ree and she started munching away.  I set Wyatts on the table, and about 10 minutes later I saw him pick it up and take a little bite.  He ate the rest in no time flat and wanted more!

We also tried the Cinnamon Graham Grammy Sammy’s, and the Blueberry Jammy Sammy’s.  Seriously, they are all SO good, and it feels good knowing that I’m giving my kids a snack that makes them think they’re sneaking one over on me, when in reality it’s nice and healthy!

My one issue with these (other than the fact I can’t get them locally, have to order online!), is the packaging.  Each one is individually wrapped and then they’re boxed.  The box is about twice as big as it needs to be to contain the 5 pieces within.  I’d love to see a company that is obviously so concerned with what our children are putting in their bodies (they have a school lunch program on the west coast as well-awesome), be more concerned with their packaging impact on the environment.  I understand they’re trying to combat the things like Ding Dongs, Fruit Rollups, and such being packed in kids lunches, but they should at least offer some packages with the option of NOT being individually wrapped for those people who don’t pack lunches, or who use reusable snack bags for lunches.

Overall, I’m patting myself on the back for finding these.  I’m looking forward to trying some of their other products as well (see the full lineup here), the mashups especially are on my list of things to try.

What about you? What are your favorite healthy snacks for your kiddos?  I can always use new suggestions!!!
