I have two completely opposite toddlers: one who eats anything and the other who only likes to eat bread, milk, bananas and yogurt. Let's say it's a struggle at almost every meal to have my picky eater eat something. I'm always on the look out for new snacks that my children like to eat because food = fuel on and off the trail.
I always take more than enough snacks when we head out for a hike or bike ride because I never know when my picky eater will decide to eat. Trust me it's not a fun time when a child is low on energy, there are no more snacks around and a mile is still left to be finished!
A newest addition to my snack pack is...
- Kid Size ~ A smaller version of the adult size Honey Stinger Waffle, suited to meet children's smaller appetites and nutritional needs.
- Flavors ~ Two flavors: Honey and Chocolate!
- Retail Price ~ $4.99 a box, containing 6 individually wrapped waffles. Option of individual sale of $0.89 per waffle. Purchase at HoneyStinger.com or local outdoor retailer store.
- Nutritional Value: Certified organic ingredients and only 80 calories.
The Pluses!
Picky Eater Approved ~ If you can't hear my sigh of relief over the internet as you read this just imagine you heard it. My kids LOVE the Kids' Organic Waffles and actually request for it went we hit the trails. My picky eater is hesitant to try anything new but the second he saw the waffle he wanted to try "The Cookie" as my kids call it. He scarfed down the waffle and wanted more, something I rarely hear!
Just Like Daddy's (Mommy's too) ~ My kids are not easily fooled but Honey Stinger made the kid version waffle just like what the adults eat. Whatever we are eating, my kids want to eat as well so the kids waffles are perfectly proportioned for my two and four year old appetite and they don't steal mine.
Organic Ingredients ~ We try to do "Organic" as much as we can in our household but that is not always feasible while outdoors, so I'm glad I can find organic snacks that my kids see as special treats. My usual special treats are left over Halloween & piñata party candy, but my kids have chosen the waffles over candies. I feel better giving them Organic Kid Waffles over candy.
Chocolate! ~ Those are magic words to get my kids moving on the trail. My kids tasted both flavors which they both liked but I have purchased two boxes of the Chocolate Waffles because my kids get more excited when they hear "Chocolate" over "Honey". I'm a big fan of chocolate and so are my kids. Who isn't a fan of chocolate?!
The Minuses
Allergens ~ Thankfully my kids do not have any food allergies but Honey Stinger Kids' Organic Waffles do contain wheat, soy and may contain egg and milk. Not suitable for children with allergies to those ingredients.
Chasqui Mom Last Thoughts...
I know that food is fuel, especially when doing any activity outdoors, whether hiking, backpacking or biking on the trail I will definitely have Honey Stinger Kids' Organic Waffles in my food pack. My kids love "The Cookie" and I actually finally had a chance to taste the kids version and they are just tasty. The waffle isn't the only Honey Stinger kid product, they also have Kids' Organic Chews which will be reviewed soon! I give the Honey Stinger Kids' Organic Waffle the "Chasqui Mom Seal of Approval" for on and off the trail snacks!
*I would like to thank Honey Stinger who provided this product for the purpose of this review. As always these are my true and honest opinions.
