I never really grasped the challenge we would’ve faced when introducing Knox to solids. I can’t begin to tell you the amount of time spent reading the back of every baby cereal and snack container with concerns of ensuring Knox was only getting high-quality ingredients. When we did find organic options, Knox would refuse to eat it because it lacked taste and texture. Luckily, we had the opportunity to try a few of the Healthy Times products and we were impressed with the quality and the taste! A bit of history on the brand, back in the 1980s, one mom struggled to find healthy options for her children (just like so many of us) and decided to take matters into her own hands creating her own line of organic baby food. Now, that same care and determination of providing only the best to our little ones still stand today with all products made in the U.S.
Today, Healthy Times is picking up a lot of positive attention and growing in popularity, especially across our grocery stores here in Canada. Now, Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstore carries a wide selection of cereals, cookies and teethers ranging from all ages, so babies to toddlers can enjoy wholesome, nutritional food. Most recently, Healthy Times also launched two new products and have expanded their selection across these stores. What’s most important to me is this company was built by a mother who had the same goals as we do today, feeding our little ones with the best quality products without any comprises. I know I can rely on the fact that all of their products consist of:
- Wholesome ingredients – USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified products that provide a healthy foundation during early childhood development
- No artificial flavours or colours – lack of artificial colours, flavours and preservatives formulated to be gentle on little tummies
- 100% Vegetarian – the entire product range is vegetarian, many products are dairy-free, soy-free and vegan
Since there are so many options, I’ll share with you some of our everyday favourites from Healthy Times that I think your little one will enjoy!
Healthy Times Organic Baby Teethers
Flavours: New! Apple and Sweet Potato / New! Banana & Broccoli
So we all know how teething babies can be (it’s rough on all of us) but Knox immediately took to these teethers right on the first bite. Designed by Pediatric Feeding Specialists, these teethers were designed to be more than just a tasty snack. The curved shape helped Knox grab onto it right away, the rigid exterior helps soothe his inflamed gums, there’s absolutely no sugar added, dissolves with no mess and contains an organic prebiotic to help support the digestive system. Whenever I’m on the go, I always grab a few of these to give to Knox to keep him happy while running errands.

Healthy Times Organic Baby Cereal
Flavours: Brown Rice Cereal, Barley Cereal, Mixed Grain, Oatmeal
We’ve heard it before, breakfast is the most important meal of the day so we make sure Knox gets in a good, nutritional meal and the Brown Rice Cereal is something he really enjoys every morning. We mix in a little bit of formula and sometimes we add some applesauce or bananas for a creamy and delicious texture that he loves. It’s so easy to digest and he has no tummy issues afterwards so it’s all smiles every morning. And, we have a big reason to be happy because the cereal contains vitamins and minerals babies need for brain development, strong bones, healthy immune system and good teeth (which Knox now has 7 of so that is a major plus for us!).
