Disfrutando fruta y yogurt en México

Recuerdo cuando Leo tenia la edad de Zoe.  Estaba muy emocionada de llevarlo a México por primera vez.  Por muchas razones - para conocer a la familia, para escuchar mas Español, para participar en la cultura, para conocer la casa de mi abuela...y tambien para probar los sabores Mexicanos.  La comida ha sido una gran parte de mi experiencia Mexicana - y tenia muchas ganas de compartirla con él.

Me dio mucho gusto llevarlo al mercado a escoger frutas y verduras que no encontramos en Filadelfia (al menos, no tan sabrosas).  Entre los dos escogimos una gran variedad de estas - y hasta recogimos guayabas del árbol en el jardín de mi abuela.  Los sabores nuevos le encantaron como yo lo habia pensado.  

Antes de regresar a casa, fui al supermercado con la idea de comprar comida de bebé en sabores que no se encuentran en los EEUU.  Me desilusionó ver que a toda la comida de bebé le agregaban azúcar.  No compré nada y Leo no probó estos sabores de nuevo hasta su regreso a México.

Esta es la razón por que estoy contenta de ver que Beech-Nut y Goya estan collaborando en traer sabores como mango y guayaba a los supermercados cerca de mi casa.  Me parece muy bien que a estos productos no les agregan azúcares ni otros ingredientes inpronunciables.  Zoe todavía no ha visitado México, pero ya ha probado guayaba! Su sabor favorito es el Mango-Durazno y se lo doy mezclado con yogurt.  Pienso hacerle paletas cremosas de mango para el verano!  Que placer es compartir estos sabores de mi juventud con mis hijos - y sobre todo de una manera saludable.

Les gustaría compartir estos sabores con su familia, tambien?  Entre al Rafflecopter abajo para un chance a ganar un regalo de productos de Beech-Nut Goya y una tarjeta de American Express de $50.  Habrá dos ganadores!  Buena Suerte!

I remember when Leo was the age that Zoe is now.  I was so excited to bring him to Mexico for the first time.  There were so many reasons I was excited to bring him to Mexico - to meet family, to hear and learn more Spanish, to experience the culture, to see my grandmother's home...and not last (but not least) to taste the flavors.  Food is such a big part of my experience of Mexico - and I couldn't wait to share it with him.

I was so excited to take him to the market place and pick out fruits and vegetables that just aren't available where we live (or are available in a pale flavorless version).  Together we picked out a rainbow of produce to taste - and of course collected a few guavas from under the guava tree in my grandmother's yard.  He loved them just as much I hoped he would.

Choosing Mangos at the Market w/ Abi

When it was time to return home to Philly I stopped by the grocery store hoping to pick up some jarred baby food in flavors not available in the U.S.  I was so disappointed to see that all the jarred baby food had added sugar!  So I didn't purchase any and Leo had to wait until our next trip to have his next taste of some of these flavors.

This is why I'm excited to see Beech-Nut team up with Goya to bring flavors like mango and guava to grocery store shelves here in the U.S.   I was so glad to see that there was no added sugar in the ingredients.  Zoe still hasn't been to Mexico, but she has tasted Guava!  Her favorite is the Mango-Peach mixed with yogurt.  With warmer weather approaching I will make her some creamy mango popsicles using these purees.  I'm glad I was able to share these flavors with her - and more importantly that they have a short, recognizable ingredient list.

Would you like to share these flavors with your family, too?  Enter the giveaway below to win a gift basket filled with Beech-Nut Goya products and a $50 American Express gift card.  There will be TWO winners!  Good luck!
