NurturMe, the first and only family of certified-organic, dried fruit and veggie meals, announced today they are expanding their award-winning line of organic dried baby food – including the introduction of a 100% quinoa rice cereal alternative, a new line of blended NurturMeals organic dry meal pouches that combine delicious and nutrient-rich fruit and veggie flavors, and a new line of bite-sized organic Yum-a-Roo’s dried fruit and veggie snacks for toddlers. The first “stage-free” food for little ones, NurturMe’s new convenient and healthy organic dry meal pouches and fruit and veggie snacks make it even easier for busy parents to ensure their children are getting maximum nutrition with every bite – from infants to toddlers, and everywhere in between.

“Since launching our single flavor dry meal pouches in 2010, we’ve continued to search for innovative and sustainable new ways to make it easy for busy, modern parents to ensure their little ones are getting the nutrients they need,” Caroline Freedman, CEO and Co-Founder of NurturMe and mom of two. “With our new expanded family of certified organic, gluten-free, non-GMO and kosher products that cross all feeding stages, we’re bringing convenience, versatility and peace of mind to a whole new level. Just one NurturMe pouch equals countless healthy and delicious opportunities for mealtime.”
Now available in single or blended flavor options, NurturMeals organic dry meal pouches are rich in nutrients and super versatile. Simply mix them up with breast milk, formula or water to create the desired consistency, or mix them in to toddler favorites like pastas, baked goods or yogurts for a boost in protein and nutrients. In fact, NurturMeals is the only baby food on the market designed specifically for the option to mix with breast milk, providing even more nutrients with each feeding. In addition to Crisp Apples, Crunchy Carrots, Hearty Sweet Potatoes, Plump Pea, Scrumptious Squash and Sweet Bananas, NurturMeals Singles now come in Protein-Packed Quinoa, which is the first and only certified-organic pure quinoa meal created especially for children. Made from 100% pure super grain, NurturMeals Quinoa is a healthier alternative to rice cereal and supports growth.
There are some good recipes to make with NurturMeals including the Banana Smoothie, check them out here http://nurturme.com/all-
Brand new to the NurturMe family, NurturMeals Blends bring together nutrient-packed superfoods such as green kale, quinoa, squash and banana to delight developing taste buds with creative and delicious combos. Available in four flavors – Squash, Bananas and Green Kale; Sweet Potatoes, Oatmeal and Bananas; Peas, Quinoa and Apples; and Carrots, Raisins and Sweet Potatoes – each pouch yields approximately 4 oz. of prepared food. NurturMeals retail for a suggested price of $1.19 per pouch for Singles and $1.49 per pouch for Blends.
Big nutrition designed for little hands, NurturMe’s new Yum-a-Roo’s organic dry toddler snacks are made from bite-sized pieces of fruits and veggies that easily dissolve in the mouth. Tasty and good for little ones ages 1 year and older, Yum-a-Roo’s are extra nutritious since they contain veggies, in addition to fruit, and are dried – a NurturMe process that preserves the nutrients, freshness and flavor. Kiddos love the taste, and parents love that there’s 1.5 servings of fruits and/or veggies in every pouch. Yum-a-Roo’s will be available starting May 1st in two flavors Tropical Twist (Banana, Mango and Pineapple) and Caribbean Crop (Pea, Banana and Pineapple), and retail for a suggested price of $2.99 per each .75 oz. resealable pouch.
NurturMeals and Yum-a-Roo’s are certified organic, gluten-free*, non-GMO and kosher, with no added preservatives, sugars or salts – only the good stuff. All NurturMe products are made in the USA from specially selected organic super fruits and veggies that are lovingly harvested and quick-dried in order to preserve freshness, flavor, phytochemicals and other nutrients. Good for baby as well as Mother Earth, NurturMe’s organic dry meals are packed in recyclable materials made with wind energy, leaving a smaller carbon footprint on our planet than the other options found in the baby aisle. From the soil to their spoon, each earth-loving, lightweight NurturMe pouch provides added convenience and peace of mind.
NurturMe products are available for purchase nationwide online, as well as in select Whole Foods, Kroger family and Babies R Us stores across the country. Please visit nurturme.comfor pricing and where to buy in your neighborhood. Yum-a-Roo’s dried fruit and veggie snacks for toddlers will be available at retail beginning May 1.

I’m entering…my daughter will be 4 months before I know it!! The banana smoothie recipe sounds interesting.
This sounds wonderful! Hmmm…too many I would try…banana for sure!
I love NurturMe and can’t wait to start feeding it to my Baby #3 in another month or two! I’d add some veggies into my mac & cheese to make it a full meal.
My babies love fruits and veggies! I love the natural flavors and variety of flavor combinations. My little girl loves bananas so she would fall in love with the banana smoothie too! I’d even like to try it! Lol
i would love to win! my son just turned one and has decided he is now a picky eater. i could sneak this into his food with out him knowing and he could get all of the nutrients. mmmm the sweet potato pancakes definitely! the quinoa is a genius new product for the little ones!
Hi, I would LOVE to win because I think your products look and sound super yummy & think my little guy would just love them!I really try to give only organic food to my son because I know it’s so much better for him! I would like to try the apple pudding recipe because my son loves apples!Thanks for offering this awesome package!!
Trying to incorporate more organic and natural foods into kiddo’s diet is turning out to be more difficult than we first expected.
He used to love fruits, now has decided that he’d rather be picky. :]
Planning on picking up a few things on the next shopping trip.
Hoping the smoothie and apple pudding go over well.
I have been dying to try these for our travels where refridgeration is not possible. Thanks for the chance.

I used the instant peas and instant sweet potatoes when my baby was just starting solids and they were so easy to prepare especially when we were traveling or away from home – no need to refrigerate and very easy to prepare and felt good knowing I was giving him fresh food without preservatives.My little one is 18 months old now and he loves mac and cheese and the ‘scrumptious squash mac and cheese’ recipe sounds delicious and easy – and a great way to get him to eat his veggies without sacrificing flavor.
plump peas froggy pasta recipe sounds yummy
So would love to try the mixed ones on my daughter she loves the other types i mix them in everything she eats.
I would love to win because we are trying to find creative ways to mix fruits and veggies into table food and this seems perfect!
My daughter is about to start eating food and I’m very interested in this organic, non-GMO product. The crisp apple pudding sounds great to me!
I want to make those sweet potato pancakes–they look so good I would eat them for breakfast, too!
I would make the sweet potato pancakes. My kids love pancakes and if I can sneak some more nutrition into them, all the better! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Correction: You must be a subscriber to enter! 🙂
My daughter is just about old enough to start foods and these would be a great start for her!
Summer is coming and the banana smoothies would be a great treat!
Thanks!
my first baby, a girl, is almost ready to start solids! i love the that nurturme is organic and can’t wait to try it with her. i am planning to make much of her food myself but these will be wonderful for full days that don’t allow time to be in the kitchen or when we are out visiting or running errands. receiving a gift pack would be a great opportunity to try the product!!
My daughter will be 3 months old in a few days and will soon be moving from cereals to veggies and fruits. I would easily have no problem feeding her the crisp apple pudding.
I like the plump peas Froggy Pasta. I’d make it with soymilk for my little one!
I’d like to win this for my daughter! She has trouble with some foods. We especially liked the Sweet Bananas Summer Smoothie recipe! It’d be good for year round here. We’re new to the Bay Area and it’s been HOT. We’d use soy or coconut milk to make it, seeing as my daughter has a milk allergy. Hope we win!
I would love to win this for my almost 6 month old grandaughter. I love the idea of a healthy organic baby food.
I would like to try this for my daughter who will be starting on solids soon. I like to make the Plump Peas Froggy Pasta. I liked them on FB and subscribe to your blog.
Congrats Christine M!:)
