Fit Healthy Momma Rating: 9.5/10 
Once Upon A Farm's new Immunity Blends help support kids' immune system before, during and after "sniffle season." There are three flavors to choose from, all packed with fruits, veggies and added probiotics to help the family stay healthy.
To be immune means to be protected, and when it comes to our kids, most of us can agree that we’ll do just about anything to keep our kids healthy and safe.
Even before a child is born, his or her immune system is rapidly developing. Young children with underdeveloped immune systems are naturally more susceptible to things like pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. However, there are things we can do as parents to help prevent our children from getting ill.
The top things we can do as parents to help our children stay healthy and well all year round include making sure they get plenty of sleep, are moving their bodies, and are eating a healthy, balanced, and nutrient-dense diet. In fact, your child’s diet might be playing a leading role in maintaining a functional immune system by helping to prevent immunodeficiency caused by malnutrition and/or a lack of micronutrients.
As a mom of three often picky little ones, I know firsthand how tough it can be to ensure your child is getting the nutrition they need to function at the highest level of health. But that’s where Once Upon a Farm and their new Immunity Blends come into play.
Organic, cold-pressed, and full of delicious flavor -- that’s what you can expect from Once Upon A Farm’s newest launch. These Super Snacks made for Super Kids are not only going to taste delicious for your kiddos, but as a parent, you’re going to feel amazing knowing that you’re helping to support their delicate immune system when they are paired with a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
I had the pleasure of trying out these new Immunity Blends and decided to share my review with you! As a dietitian who takes pride in taking a food-first approach to health, I am always eager to take a closer look at real, whole food products that are making an impact. Especially when it comes to my kids!

If you’re a parent who is concerned about your child’s nutrition and would like to do all you can to help give their immunity a boost, Immunity Blends, when paired with a healthy diet and movement plan, can certainly help.
In my experience, both as a mom and as an RD, kids love pouches. They’re easy and fun to eat for kids of all ages. For parents, knowing exactly what is inside and that the ingredients are whole, fresh, and intentionally blended for maximum benefit, gives us peace of mind that we’re giving our kiddos exactly what they need and nothing that they don’t.

Concluding Notes From an RD
When it comes to our children’s immune systems, there’s no quick fix or magic pill that’s going to ensure they never get sick. That being said, there are certain foods we can eat and actions we can take to help ensure it’s in its best condition to fend off any foreign invaders. A healthy, balanced diet that’s full of micronutrients and regular physical activity can do wonders for a child’s growing body.
That’s why I love Once Upon a Farm’s new Immunity Blends. They are helping to take some of the guesswork and pressure off the plates of parents while helping kids enjoy their food and get the nutrition they need.
After doing the research and reviewing these new blends, I am happy to put my seal of approval on them as well as to try them out in my own home!
