This is the review of the Organic Variety Pack of 8!

The baby food came in a fully insulated box, enclosed using thick styrofoam case and recyclable materials.

The actual meals are catered inside a smaller box, bundled together with a pair of huge ice packs inside a thick, insulated foam case.

Included is a lil’ gourmets information sheet. Featured in this month’s sheet is a letter from lil’ gourmets founder Shibani Baluja.

The other side of the sheet contains more information about their packaging. All their shipping materials, as well as ice packs and food containers are 100% recyclable!

The smaller box contains a best by date.

It was well-sealed with tape!

All the meals are neatly packed inside the box.

This month’s box features 6 different flavors of tasty, all-organic veggie meals. Since this is a pack of 8, it means we got doubles of 2 flavors.

Everything in my box!

Organic Cinnamon Beets & Apples Veggie Meal ($6.98) This meal features a rich and flavorful blend of beets, a portion of apple, lemon juice with hints of cinnamon and ginger. We have two of these in our box!

It’s a nutritious meal for baby and toddler that is rich in calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6.

This meal is packed in a solid plastic container, sealed perfectly to maintain the food’s freshness.

It has a thick, creamy texture with dark color acquired from the beet. It was pretty tasty too! It’s already good on its own but lil’ gourmets recommends to try it with yogurt and cereals. You can also use it to make a soup by adding potatoes or cauliflower.

Organic Moroccan Butternut Squash Veggie Meal ($6.98) Butternut squash and carrots are combined in this delicious meal! It’s spiced just right with cinnamon, turmeric, and cumin, making such an enjoyable meal for babies and toddlers. We also have two of these in the box!

This meal is a great source of calcium, iron, potassium, and folate. It is also packed with vitamins A, K, and B6  and other minerals that are just perfect for developing babies.

It has an eye-catching orange color and a texture similar to mashed potato! This meal captures our favorite fall flavors and I’m glad my daughter enjoyed it as well. There are so many ways to enjoy this one. It can be served with pita bread or used as a dip for carrots or crackers. You can even put it on top of couscous!

Organic Coconut Cauliflower Mash Veggie Meal ($3.49) This cauliflower and coconut milk combination reminds us of Indian curry! It also contains carrots, green peas, lime juice, and tamarind extract.

It’s a low calorie, highly nutritious meal filled with calcium, iron, potassium, protein, and vitamins A, K, and B6.

This meal is more creamy than the butternut mash. It’s pretty tasty and spiced just right! It goes well with rice, quinoa, noodles, or pita bread.

Organic Spanish Corn & Bean Gazpacho Veggie Meal ($3.49) This is one of the newest offerings of lil’ gourmets! It contains sweet corn, navy beans, pineapple, tomatoes, lime juice extract, olive oil, and tamarind with a complex mix of onion, garlic, oregano, and marjoram.

This meal is a good source of niacin, thiamin, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and other vitamins that help boost your child’s immune system.

The mix of sweet and savory flavors in this bowl is really appealing, even for a baby’s tastebuds. If you want to experiment a bit, you can make a soup by mixing it with milk or chicken broth.

Organic Sweet Potato Curry Veggie Meal ($3.49) Here’s another curry inspired meal, which contains sweet potatoes, coconut milk, spinach, lemon, lime juices, cumin, and turmeric.

It’s also rich in protein, potassium, and magnesium that help support healthy bone, and muscle growth and development.

This meal looks pretty much like peanut butter with a thick creamy texture and brown color. Bits of spinach are also visible. It pairs well with crackers or chicken nuggets!

Organic Pumpkin Navy Bean Shawarma Veggie Meal ($3.49) This is also a new flavor offering from lil’ gourmets! Its main ingredients are navy beans, pumpkin, spinach, and sweet potatoes, making it really filling. It’s also blended with red wine vinegar with a splash of lemon for added flavor, as well as seven spices including paprika, allspice, onion, turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon.

It’s a nutritious meal packed with protein, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, thiamin, and vitamins A, B6, and K.

All the meals we got are USDA certified-organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and cold pressure-processed.

It’s a little creamy, a bit denser, and oh so delectable. You can also try it with hummus, yogurt, pita chips, or roasted potatoes with a squeeze of lemon!

We’re totally impressed with lil’ gourmet’s unique flavor offerings! This variety pack is a great way to introduce babies and toddlers to global flavors at an early age, and also to incorporate veggies in their diet! We love that everything is low in sugar and that there’s no added salt. The flavors are all-natural and so far, my daughter loves them all! Each container is good for a whole meal already. Each one is also packed with vitamins and minerals ideal for growing children. Getting 8 servings of premium baby food for $25.13 is such a good deal! You can also grab one-flavor packs, in case your baby finds a favorite variant, or build your own variety pack and choose exactly what you want to receive!
