Organix Mighty Meals




The Mighty Meal advert sums it up for me – the adventure of food and the adventure of being a toddler.  My two and a half year old has multiple food allergies and that, plus his innate nature mean that when it comes to food he is naturally a bit suspicious.  Unlike in the rest of his life where he asks ‘whats that?’ to everything, with food he is less adventurous.
When Organix kindly sent us some Mighty Meals to try I was very excited.  The one thing that works in term of getting my little boy to try different foods is if other adults are eating the same or something similar.  Organix Mighty Meals tick all the boxes in terms of grown up looking food and actually food that I would eat.
 We tried the Vegetable and Chicken Korma, the Tomatoey Beef Bolognaise and Spinach Falafel.  They looked and smelled delicious, perfectly packaged like proper little meals.  Zach, to my surprise, took to them very well.  He tried them and then ate almost all and seemed to enjoy the new flavours and textures.  He particularly liked the falafel and preferred the bolognaise to my own!  Some of the other meals such as the salmon sound delicious too, I fancy a try myself.  The Mighty Meals are well packaged and very good nutritional meals, perfect for when you are on the move or in hurry, or actually just for a wholesome nutritious meal that your child is guaranteed to eat.
We also tried the snack and Squeezies.  I haven’t met a toddler to date who isn’t obsessed with the Carrot Stix.  They have become my secret weapon for those tricky toddler moments.  The squeezies are also a novel, fun, mess free (almost!) way for your child to eat a variety of fruit as are the healthy drinks.  All are perfect for picnics and pack lunches, ideal for the summer especially.

A big thank you to the people at Organix for allowing us to try their food and especially for providing food that a child with multiple food allergies can eat safely and happily.  Our food adventures continue and now we have more meal variety and nutrition to equip us along the way.
