YoBaby Turns 10 – and 'Grows Up' with YoBaby Meals
3-in-1 meals provide convenience & nutrition with a unique mix in one cup
Londonderry, NH (September 15, 2009) /PRNewswire/ — Stonyfield Farm's YoBaby turns 10 this year, and marks the occasion by growing its line to include new YoBaby Meals.
YoBaby Meals offer a unique 3-in-1 combination of protein-packed yogurt + fruit + veggie purée in one cup, an easy, delicious and surprising way to help moms give their babies and toddlers a trio of important food groups at every meal.
Three delicious flavors – Pear & Green Bean, Peach & Squash, Apple & Sweet Potato – are just right for baby's growing appetite. And the single serve 6-ounce cup offers 50% more than current 4-ounce YoBaby multipacks.
"We know getting balanced nutrition for your baby or toddler isn't easy, since Mom's hectic life and a picky baby or toddler can add up to one big challenge," says Stonyfield Farm President and CE-Yo Gary Hirshberg. "So we've combined the YoBaby yogurt your child loves with a unique mix of tastes. They'll love it!"
Best-selling author and pediatrician William Sears believes getting children to develop early tastes for fruits and vegetables helps set a lifelong pattern of healthy eating, and he recommends organic foods for first foods. "Little ones' bodies are not able to handle the possible pollutants in non-organic foods, and are especially susceptible to persistent pesticides and other chemicals and toxins," he explains.
YoBaby Meals are convenient nutrition, providing more than 35% of a toddler's daily protein and calcium needs in one grab-n-go cup. And this is an easy way to get veggies.
YoBaby Organic Meals is available in natural food store shelves nationwide and select grocery chains with a suggested retail price of $1.29 for a single 6-ounce serving.
YoBaby Organic Meals join the YoBaby line of organic yogurts available in a wide range of varieties and flavors, and now including Vitamin D and Zinc. They include YoBaby original, in six variety packs; YoBaby Plus Fruit & Cereal with DHA; YoBaby Plus Fruit & Cereal with Iron; YoBaby Simply Plain, "Baby's First Yogurt;" and YoBaby Drinkables.
