Fruigees Organic Fruit Snacks was inspired by two friends after they saw their peer med school students eating baby food in class because they liked the portability and convenience of it. That was when they realized there was a need for kid and adult-friendly portable fruit snacks! The Creative Kitchen loves Fruigees because of their unique flavor combinations and fun texture! Because of its simple and organic ingredients, parents can feel good about eating Fruigees themselves or giving it to their kids as a snack or sweet treat after school.

I love the fun colors and it tastes like jolly rancher pudding!

Who says tea is just for grown ups? Certainly not the folks at Rooibee Red Tea! They’ve harvested the goodness offered exclusively by the Western Cape of South Africa—rooibos—and squeezed all its health benefits into a convenient, ready-to-drink tea with a splash of fun for kids! With a full day’s serving of vitamin C, antioxidants to boot, and fun, natural fruit flavors, it’s a beverage choice that will make the whole family happy!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

I get to drink tea just like Mom! She says it also helps make my insides strong!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:RooAll

I always like when I can give my kids a treat that’s not only fun for them, but also healthful. Rooibee Roo Tea for Kids comes in fun, fruity flavors that the kids love, and is full of vitamin C while also low in sugar. Plus, I love that it’s naturally caffeine-free (who knew that rooibos is actually a legume?) There’s also an adult version, so Rooibee has something for everyone!

 

Flavorful Features:

Rooibee Roo Rooibos Tea for Kids comes in three fun flavors:

  • Mango
  • Cherry
  • Orange

 

The Icing on the Cake:logo

Not only is the tea made in the USA, but it’s USDA organic, rich in antioxidants, and low in sugar. Plus, it comes in a BPA-free bottle. And rooibos touts an impressive list of health benefits, such as the antioxidants aspalathin and nothofagin, which help fight against heart disease, inflammation, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.

 

Good to Go?

Yes! Each 8-ounce plastic bottle comes with a twist-off cap so your kids can sip throughout the day!

 

Time to Eat?!

Since Rooibee Roo Rooibos Tea for Kids is naturally caffeine-free and low in sugar, kids can enjoy it any time of day!
