Square One Organic Superfood for Babies – Review and Giveaway

I’ll be honest, I don’t think much about baby food these days – my boys are both older and when they’re home they’re eating lots (and lots) of adult food. But Square One asked me if I wanted to try their Superfoods for Babies and I was intrigued. I can imagine that if you’re trying to feed a food-allergic baby it’s tough to find great options, and a little scary as you go.

First, yes! This babyfood is organic, top 8 allergen-free, and gluten-free.
They are essentially pure purees. Nothing added except water. It’s about as close as you can get to making your own baby food. In this case, Denise Henderson made them for us. As a mom of twins, one with food allergies, Denise had to find a solution and Square One was born.

My superfoods came to me frozen – you just pop them in the freezer and thaw as you go. I have to say I love the way these are packaged. They are sold two to a pack – in ¼ cup sizes just like those applesauce containers you stick in lunch boxes.

Since I have no babies in the house (and don’t plan to anytime soon) I decided to try baking with them. Fruit purees work really well as an egg replacer. I made one of my favorites – Pamela’s Products brownies.

Usually I add one cup of oil, one cup of applesauce, and ¼ cup of water. This time I substituted mango puree for the applesauce. Two little containers, and I was good to go – didn’t even have to measure.

My brownies were perfect!

So yes, I am suggesting you can bake with these, but – some of you have babies and young children to feed, hence the giveaway. You can enter to win your own gift pack worth $50, which includes:

• 12 pack of Square One Organics Superfood Purees

Now, before I go further and tell you how to enter, I need to tell you I am a HUGE American Idol fan. Just saying…
