Being a Mum to three boys has been quiet the adventure so far. I feel like we always have a better day when we get out and about – and a little preparation goes a long way. Having the right snacks on hand is a massive part of motherhood with my boys and I don’t think I go anywhere without a large range of snacks to keep my children happy {and in turn, I’m a happy Mummy on our adventures}.
**I received compensation in exchange for writing about Organix‘s range of snacks . Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own.**
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of baking from scratch to provide my children with healthy snacking options. But making EVERYTHING from scratch is hard with a three year old and a two year old and a newborn. So when Organix approached me and asked if I would like to be sent out their corn puffs, mini oaty bites and their farm animal biscuits, I jumped at the opportunity.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SNACKS
All Organix Goodies foods come with the Organix No Junk Promise, it’s a stamp of reassurance that they are made with the best organic ingredients and contain nothing unnecessary, so your little one gets great tasting snacks without the junk.
The right snack at the right time is just what toddlers need. Dieticians agree that toddlers’ tummies aren’t big enough to take on board enough energy and nutrients from just three meals a day, so little ones need two to three snacks in-between, to boost energy, to fuel their explorations, and for healthy growth and development.

So when we planned our trip to the zoo the other day, I decided to pop a packet of Organix Goodies Farm Animal Biscuits and a packet of corn puffs each into our snack bag along with; a couple of wholemeal vegemite sandwiches {cut into fingers as they are easier to eat whilst on the move}, strawberries, and cucumber slices to be dipped into a little hommus.
OUR THOUGHTS ON THE ORGANIX SNACKS
Getting my boys to sit still to eat anything whilst we are out and about is always difficult. So all of these snacking options work well for us {although in saying that the cucumber and hommus is normally eaten whilst strapped into the pram when their legs have gotten weary after a long day of running around}.
My boys loved the snacks from Organix – I think that their favourites were the animal biscuits {maybe because biscuits are a very special treat in our house?}. They loved picking out an animal, looking to see what it was, identifying it and then making the animal sound.

SIGNS YOUR LITTLE ON NEEDS A SNACK
If your little one doesn’t tell you they’re hungry, the chances are there will be a few other tell-tale signs to let you know he or she needs a snack.
Perhaps your toddler is a little tired, a little bit cranky, a little clingy, or you can see the start of a tantrum brewing? It probably means they’re ‘hangry’, that’s grumpy, hungry and in need of food – and it’s real! So time for a snack.
