A few months ago we were sent a hamper of products from Quinola UK and Rebel Kitchen. It was perfect timing as we were really starting to struggle with what to feed Chloe when we were out and about due to all of her allergies whilst still wanting to give her good, nutritional food and drink.
Let be start by telling you a little about the brands:
What is Quinola?
Quinola is the sacred crop of the Incas, the uber tasty, nutritious super-grain that powered the greatest empire South America has ever seen. It’s been recognised as a superfood by NASA, who have earmarked quinoa as a key food source for deep space missions.
We reviewed the Quinola Baby range here last year and were really impressed, this time we received a bundle of Quinola Kids products.
Our absolute favourite flavour was Thai Quinoa with peas, carrots and coconut milk. I say our favourite flavour because Izzy loved it, as did Chloe and I *may have had a sachet all to myself inside a pitta bread. Oh my. It tastes so good. It’s proof that ready made children’s meals can be healthy and taste like real food too.
It also comes in a Tex Mex version and a Mediterranean Quinoa with tomato, carrots and courgette.
They can be warmed to the perfect temp in just 30 seconds and we ( Chloe ) also ate them straight from the pack.
They also sell adult Quinola express packs which I’m eager to try. Find out more about the brand here.
Rebel Kitchen:
We received a selection of KIDS MYLK
Mini Rebels make the ideal lunch box addition or after school snack.
Available in three delicious varieties: Chocolate, Banana and Orange Chocolate.
Both girls enjoyed these and we didn’t get a look in.
They also sell adult versions with flavours such as chocolate, matcha and chai. These sound pretty great and I’m going to keep an eye out for them next time I’m shopping!
Now do you fancy winning a hamper of goodies from both of these brands? Just fill in the rafflecopter form below for your chance to win:

Good home made meals like bolognese, stew etc!
Homemade meals and homemade veg! I am lucky to have 4 good eaters! I was trrible as child apparently!
good harty homemade meals
Lots of fruit & veg. Gotta be home cooked too! Easy on sugar & salt.
Lots of fruits, veggies and home-made dishes. I try to buy organic wherever possible but it can be expensive. Luckily, my husband’s a brilliant cook because I’m rubbish – according to my daughter, Mummy’s food is ‘yucky’. (We haven’t learned ‘tact’ yet!)
I like to make my meals from scratch – roast dinners, spag bol, homemade pizzas and so on, but since I have increased my hours at work I like to have a few quick and easy options in the cupboard.
veg, fruit and meat
We are very lucky. Both prefer fruit as snacks as opposed to chocolate and sweets and they are very open to trying all sorts of different food too. The only thing they don’t like at the moment is cabbage, so they eat healthily because we do make a lot of meals from scratch. Hubby is better cook than I am, so they like curries (although not too strong) and spag bol. Just started on stew as well. 🙂
LOts of fruit
As long as it’s healthy and not packed with sugar I’m easy!
I like to feed my son lots of freshly home cooked meals. I struggle to find snacks that are a healthy alternative to fruit which he eats a lot of already.
Organic fresh ingredients always! The favorite in my house is slow roasted duck with all the vegetables.
lots of carrots, raw broccoli,
Meals cooked from scratch and have always changed the variety to continually introduce them to new foods as I was a fussy eater as a child.
a variety of healthy home cooked meals
lots of variety in their diets is a must.. My son is a sea food fan & loves guacamole. I only ever give them what we eat & hopefully they will grow up liking lots of yummy foods.
I love those Rebel Kitchen drinks. The chocolate one is delicious.
We like pasta with homemade sauces
Lots of homemade dishes, my kids favourite is lasagne

We love doing tuna huac instead of tuna mayo – chop cherry or baby plum tomatoes, squeeze in some lime, and mash some avocado in with a dash of olive oil (season with salt and pepper to your tastes) and mix with the tuna – so tasty, healthy, and filling! YUM! None of us can get enough of it!!
I mean tuna GUAC not huac! Not sure how auto-correct managed that one, lol!
