Alternavites Kids

One of the struggles about backpacking with kids is not getting enough fresh fruits, etc. for the kids. As a treat and a try out for the kids we took along some Alternavites Kids vitamin mixes.

Alernavites vitamin powder can be used as juice mix, to add to smoothies or even eaten straight up as a powder.

When we headed out on a family backpacking trip (with four kids) our plan was to mix the pouch into the kids’ water bottles. We let them choose between the two flavours (Strawberry Bubble Gum and Raspberry Cotton Candy) and were about to add them to the bottles when they said they wanted to try them straight up! The two older ones loved them and wanted more, while number 3 gave the “yucky” expression. I wouldn’t take number 3’s opinion too seriously though as he normally rejects food the first time he tries it!

I should mention that Alternavites Kids are made without aspartame, corn syrup, gluten, dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, peanut, shellfish, fish or tree nuts. As a Gluten free, corn free, dairy free family that can be a deal breaker!

I like the idea of having a convenient way to get vitamins into the kids while outdoors, especially if it can be consumed in a number of different ways. I would definitely take them for the kids on future trips as a way to make sure they have the vitamins they need to stay healthy and energy to enjoy themselves.

A special thanks to Alternavites for sending me these to review.
