My name is Jasmin. I am a foodie, family chef, nutritionist, wife and mother of two. My journey to health began with getting my undergraduate degree in nutrition. At the time I wasn’t sure what type of career I wanted, but I knew that my future included living a healthy lifestyle and raising a healthy family.

When I became a mother, I thought my education and experience in helping hundreds of individuals eat healthier provided me with the tools to raise perfect eaters. Boy was I wrong! My cooking skills and PATIENCE have been put through the ringer. I have spent countless of hours on blogs, reading books, reviewing recipes and searching grocery stores for meal and snack ideas that are not only healthy, but also affordable.

My goal with this blog is to provide practical tips and advice on shopping for and making healthy food in order to help families build a healthier eating home. I see this blog as an opportunity to exchange ideas and information and I encourage readers to share their thoughts, advice and concerns related to my posts.

Ella's Kitchen: Fruit Smoothies To Go!

I am always looking for healthy on the go foods to put in lunches, school snacks or even during those crazy moments at home when I don't have time to prepare anything. Applesauce, whole grain crackers, whole fruits and vegetables are great options, but for kids that need a little zing to their snacking routine, Ella's Kitchen Smoothie Fruits are a great healthy alternative.

The Smoothie Fruits come in four flavors and have no preservatives, artificial flavors or added sugar. They are also gluten, wheat, dairy and lactose free. It is basically smooshed fruit in a convenient to go pouch. Each flavor is identified by color, for example, the Red One (Organic bananas, organic strawberries, organic apples, organic raspberries, <1% organic lemon juice concentrate) or the Green One (Organic bananas, organic apples, organic blackcurrants, organic blueberries, <1% organic lemon juice concentrate), making it attractive to young children. Ella's Kitchen also has a line of baby foods categorized by age as well. These are also available in the same convenient pouches; perfect for keeping in your diaper bag or vehicle glove compartment for emergencies and road trips.

 Nutrition: Each 3 oz pouch is only 50 calories and has 11 grams of sugar (naturally present in fruit).

Cost: Ella's Kitchen products are available to buy online at Amazon.com, Diapers.com and at Target and Babies R' Us. As of today you can purchase the smoothie fruits for a $1.40 each plus shipping and handling fees on Amazon.com.
