New Organic Snacks

I only promote products that meet certain criteria. Ecobrands asked me to review their new Organix Goodies Range for kids and my first response was naturally sceptical as I am quite often approached with products that don't make the grade. My curiosity was soon aroused with words like "no preservatives", "no colourants", "no sugar", "organic" and "pre-packed for quick and easy lunch box inclusion". The last statement intrigued me most as healthy lunch box alternatives do not come pre-packed in colourful packets and boxes. My sample box arrived a few days later. Eager to review the taste and ingredients for myself, I tucked in and started tasting the various snack alternatives. The packaging is unique with raisins and dried apples packed in tiny boxes and squeeze pack juice alternatives. They offer a wide range of organic snacks with foods consisting of biscuits, compotes, maize snacks, cereals, puree and fruit bars, catering for children from six months to 10 years, but even had my teen eagerly tucking into the box of gingerbread biscuits. Organix gives parents the choice of including safe, convenient, organic snacks in their childrens lunch boxes. Look out for this new range in Baby City Stores, selected Pick 'n Pay's and Dischem stores nationwide. I have a sample box of Organix goodies up for grabs, simply leave your comments below, share your thoughts or tell us where you have found them. All comments must be submitted before the end of October 2010 to participate. (This competition is only open to residents in South Africa.)

That's interesting. I am always on the lookout for healthy organic snacks but they are difficult to find. I will definately be looking out for these.

Organix packaging looks seriously cool for kids lunchboxes, the snacks look yummy enough for both small and big people, so I guess we need to track down some Organix snacks and check out the taste. I'd be interested to know whether the price is appealing too! Well done Organix it is about time companies started caring about our kids health.

I bought a box (two, it was a double pack) of the raisins and dried apples to pop in my kids lunch boxes... but I felt a little peckish and tried some while sitting at my desk working on something boring. They were so yummy I scoffed both boxes ... heh heh. Sorry kids!I'll go and get some of the other snacks and promise not to eat them.

We love these, especially their ginger biscuits. I have only seen them at baby city. I bought a whole lot at the Baby Show in JHB last year, but they didn't last very long because they were eaten to fast, LOL.
