As you can see he was excited to try it. The green packaging appealed to him. |
It seems this brand is geared toward picky eaters with its limited choices of typical kid food. Chicken Nuggets, Mac Cheese, Fish sticks, and pizza. It doesn't do a lot to expose children to new ideas or concepts, but instead hides the vegetables in the food. In my personal opinion this is NOT the way to expose your children to new foods or deal with the issue of a picky eater. My son LOVES to eat and hiding vegetables never was a never concern in our home, as I am a firm believer that if you do not expose them to junk food early they won't know it is an option. With that being said, I am always looking for a fun, fast and creative option for days we are rushed. My son was thrilled to have read the box and asked for the Macaroni and Cheese dinner for breakfast. I complied, because it seemed to be a relatively healthy dinner.
All the ingredients are easy to recognize with out chemicals or other gross items. |
There is also a generous amount of cheese in the container.
Simple to make, just peel the plaster back to vent and heat for 3.5 minutes.
When it melts not all the Wagon Wheels get covered with the cheese. Leaving several naked wheels. Even when mixing it.
As you can see my son did eat it. He didn't complain about it, but it didn't thrill him like other meals that I make at home.
In my personal opinion, KidFresh meals are expensive, but okay to keep in the freezer for a day that is too busy to cook or when you forget to use your crock pot.
I received coupons for free product in exchange for an honest review from Mom's Meet and Kid Fresh.
I do have a six year old and six month old, but I do NOT share identifying pictures of them for the sake of product reviews. I take my children to too many public places to feel safe allowing the internet to know their names and identify them in public.
That DOES seem a expensive for a single serve microwave kids meal. I do like that it seems to have real cheese in it. I know my son would eat this, he loves stuff like this. Like you though, I try to steer away from prepackaged meals. It is nice to have some in a pinch situation though
ReplyDeleteThanks for the honest review! It doesn't seem ideal but a good alternative if you've got nothing else around or are really pressed for time!
ReplyDeleteThat is expensive for a meal that clearly looks like a cheaply made product.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how expensive it is! Our kids get something similar in the frozen aisle at Walmart for about a dollar a piece. I couldn't spend $4 on just one lol ...Thanks for sharing your honest review :)
ReplyDeleteThis isn't processed. So I can see it being more than a $1.00. It just wasn't impressive enough. We tried the nuggets today and not impressed either 12 in a container for $4.19
ReplyDeleteThat would be good for those days when I don't have time to make lunch or whatnot.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves these things. Great review!!
ReplyDeleteWe tend to check all of the labels for ingredients, and generally speaking, if we can't pronounce it- we won't buy it. That being said, these do look like a good alternative to the typical boxed stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is something my son would LOVE to eat! He loves his mac and cheese!
ReplyDeletemy daughter would love this, as would I
ReplyDeleteThat is a good helping of cheese in that. I am surprised. Thanks for the review. It is nice to have easy meals sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWe love Kidfresh meals! My personal favorite is the Mac &. My daughter likes that and the Pasta.
ReplyDeleteGreat review. My kids love Kidfresh meals. It makes things easier on those crazy nights when I can't get dinner off the ground.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I am so freaking happy that you truly gave an honest review of this product. I hate when its all fluff. I try to limit frozen meals but every so often we get in a pinch and I need something quick and easy for my son and I do like that the foods they have do don't have all the chemicals. The price tag on them however is a bit of a turn off.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the honest review...and photos. I love seeing the real deal in images. $4 is a lot of money for a frozen meal.
ReplyDelete$4 is pretty expensive for that little meal!
ReplyDeleteThese sound interesting for a quick dinner, and much healthier then some other kids meals.
ReplyDeleteI agree, $4 is quite expensive for such an easy meal.
ReplyDeleteAs a Newbie, I am permanently exploring online for articles that can be of assistance to me. Thank you product reviews
