From Lunchboxes To Sports Practice, These Snacks Were Made For Busy Kids

The school-age years come with an impressive amount of schlepping. Your kid goes from breakfast to school to recess to the playground to soccer practice, and somehow you’re the one exhausted by the end of it. Keeping active kids hydrated through all that movement is its own extracurricular activity.

But it doesn’t need to feel taxing. Once Upon a Farm’s new Electrolyte Blends give parents another easy win designed specifically with growing kids in mind. The refreshing fruit-and-veggie purée pouches are made with ingredients that naturally provide electrolytes to help support daily hydration and electrolyte balance.* Nothing random or suspect. Just coconut water, sea salt, and an assortment of juicy fruits and veggies your kiddo will love.

Most importantly for busy families, they’re easy to throw into a lunchbox, sports bag, or cooler and go. Read on to learn more about their three new electrolyte pouches that your kid is sure to love.

Strawberry Kiwi Is An Easy Yes

There are foods your kid is open-minded about. Then there are foods your kid has decided are disgusting despite happily eating them last Tuesday. And then there are the reliable favorites you keep around because sometimes you simply don’t have the emotional bandwidth for negotiations.

Strawberry Kiwi understands the assignment. Once Upon a Farm starts with kid-favorite strawberry and gives it a slightly tangy twist with kiwi, creating a refreshing flavor that feels familiar without being boring. The organic fruit-and-veggie purée pouch also helps support daily hydration and electrolyte balance,* giving parents another way to support hydration during those whirlwind, booked-and-busy days.

And when you’re feeding someone whose preferences can change between breakfast and lunch, an easy yes is worth a lot.

Apple Berry Punch Makes Hydration A Little More Fun

Sometimes the easiest way to get kids interested in something is to give it a good name. “Choose the healthy option”? Not exactly riveting. Apple Berry Punch? Now we’re talkin’.

This flavor has all the fun, fruity energy its name suggests, combining apple and berry flavors in a refreshing pouch made without added sugar or artificial flavors or colors. It’s also organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, so parents get the ingredient standards they’re looking for without making the snack feel overly virtuous to the person actually eating it.

Because kids shouldn't have to choose between something that tastes fun and something you feel good about giving them. Frankly, neither should you.

Guava Strawberry Is For Their Expanding-Palate Era

One minute, your toddler will only eat three beige foods. A few years later, they’re stealing something off your plate and informing you that they actually really like this.

Growing kids means growing tastes, and Guava Strawberry gives them a low-stakes way to try something a little different. Pairing familiar strawberry with tropical guava makes the flavor approachable while introducing something they may not encounter in the average kids’ snack.

That evolution is part of the thinking behind Once Upon a Farm’s new Electrolyte Blends in the first place. The brand is expanding beyond its baby-and-toddler roots with products made for school-age kids whose nutritional needs — and very strong opinions about what tastes good — are growing right along with them.
