It takes a Village

Here at Bare Blendz we know the importance of raising a healthy baby. We strongly agree with the quote,  "It takes a village to raise a child."- African proverb 

We emphasize the importance of local produce and the benefits not only to the consumer but to the economy as well! By supporting organic farmers we are helping to reduce the amount of toxins that are placed into the environment, as well as your baby. 

We combine fresh and local ingredients to create synergies that nourish and contribute to the building blocks for a child's nutritional development and growing taste buds.Bare Blendz has been successful at creating food that is not watered down, preservative and dye free. This means that you will know what your baby is eating based upon the simple ingredients that are full of nutrients and flavor!

Love this Rockin Melon!

When I was pregnant with my little guy, I found that I often craved cantaloupe.I could have this tasty treat any time of the day, and often enjoyed it juiced from a local farmers market. 

Cantaloupe was a favorite in our household that stayed on the grocery list. Although cantaloupe satisfied my sweet tooth, I was not aware of all of the benefits that this sweet fruit offered. 

While researching I found that cantaloupe is high in folic acid, vitamins A, and C.Folic acid is necessary for our body to improve new cells as vitamin A promotes strong bones, helps our vision and  guards us against bacterial, viral, parasitic infections. Vitamin C has been proven to fight against heart disease, cancer, and cataracts. 

Wow, who would have thought that this delicious fruit that I craved carried so many nutrients. This is a great fruit for babies, and children to enjoy.I believe that this fruit is a keeper!
