Sun, sand and snacks with Ella’s Kitchen
I don’t know about you, but my children are always hungry! They can have just polished off a huge roast dinner and they’re already asking for the next thing, usually something sweet and sugary! I try very hard to make sure that my children eat healthy snacks at home and yet when we are out and about and it’s a matter of convenience, a packet of crisps or a sugary cereal bar seems like the easiest option.
So when Ella’s Kitchen announced their new toddler snack range, aimed at children 12 months and over, we were all very excited to try them! The snacks are all totally organic with no added refined sugar or salt, no concentrates, additives or colourings, and the range includes –
- Parsnip & poppyseed savoury biscuits
- Carrot & Lentil crunchy sticks
- Cheese & Leek crunchy wheels
- Raisin & Oat cookies
- Banana & Raisin oaty fingers
- Strawberry & Apple oaty fingers
I was interested to learn that Ella’s Kitchen have recently collaborated with selected Odeon Cinema’s to allow film goers to sample their new range. Unfortunately none of our local cinemas were taking part in this event, yet the lovely people at Ella’s Kitchen were kind enough to send us some samples of our own. And given the fact that there are no better testers than my little snackers, a day out to Formby was a great opportunity to try them this weekend.
Whilst Eva and her sweet tooth were all about the cookies, Megan couldn’t wait to try the crunchie wheels.
I tried one of each and unlike other toddler snacks I have tried previously, I could easily have finished the whole bag!
Harry loved the banana and raisin oaty fingers, and given that he is just about the fussiest three year old I have ever met, that speaks volumes!
The snacks were a huge success with the children, and we will definitely be taking more of them on our days out. With the snacks coming in multi packs as well as single packets, they are perfect for my little ones.

My little sister loves Ella’s Kitchen, as she is very particular about what she eats and they are the perfect bite size snacks. The crunchy wheels sounds like something that she would like! x
I love that the children are happy to switch up a cereal bar for one of these organic bars, or a packet of crisps for a healthier alternative. I worry a lot about their diet so this new range makes me happy! xx
I’ve never heard of this brand before but it looks great for kids. Going to show my Sister this post for her little ones..
They do a range of baby foods but the toddler snack range is new, they are fab products! xx
We loves Ella’s Kitchen too. Not tried the crunchy wheels though. Lovely photos x

The kids love them and it’s always reassuring as parents to know that our children are having healthy snacks. xx
I’ve seen Ellas Kitchen snacks before and our George really wanted to try them. It looks like we will be getting some the next time – they look delicious! Thanks for sharing 🙂
They are really good! I’ve tried toddler snacks before and wondered how my children can even stomach them, but I ate a full bag of these last night! xx
Never heard of this brand but it sounds good! I have twins too so hope they will like it haha
I’m sure they will, they are so convenient too! xx
We are huge fans of Ellas and they are great to have with you when you’re out and about as they are interesting and healthy so such a win for the kids!
Its a fab range isn’t it? I loved them when mine were babies, so handy for taking out with us and totally organic, so no mummy guilt!! xx
We loved Ella’s kitchen when the girls were babies, how did I not know they did a toddler range? These would be perfect for my girls, they are always hungry and it’s hard to come up with snacks all the time, especially when you are out and about. x
I think they are a new range, mine loved the baby food range too. Snacks are difficult on days out unless you’ve planned in advance, which I never have! It’s way easier to throw in a multipack of these snacks! The kids loved them! xx
I’ve never even heard of it – i guess thats understandable as i don’t have kids but all i saw were banana and raisin oats so its got to good! healthy snacks are important at such an early age !
The raisin and oat cookies are delicious! It’s reassuring to know that my children are having healthy snacks, and me too! xx
Big fans of Ella’s Kitchen here! I usually end up sharing the bag with Sophie as they actually have some flavour! x
Haha I know! I ate a full bag of the crunchy wheels last night, they are way tastier than other toddler ranges! xx
I will have to keep an eye out for these when I next go shopping as I am sure my two pre-schoolers will enjoy these xx
They would make great snacks for packed lunches, I know our school says no crisps or chocolate biscuits but these are totally allowed! xx
Yes I know what you mean. I was at that phase as well. Your kids are adorable btw and I loved reading about them!
Aww thank you so much! xx
I’m not familiar with the brand, it might not be available here in the Philippines. They sound so healthy though. The savory vegetable biscuits and sticks sound scrumptious though.
They are all totally organic but really tasty too! We love them! xx
Oh my goodness, they are just so darn precious! These look like delicious, healthy snacks for the kiddos! XO

Thank you Anna, the kids love them! xx
My younger two used to love Ella’s Kitchen. It’s great to see their range growing and expanding into different areas
Yes we loved the baby range so we were so pleased to see there is a range for the children as they grow. xx
Oh these look so tasty. Ellas Kitchen were my go to when Evie was weaning. Great to hear their range is expanding. We’ll be checking out these snacks for ourselves. x
Ours too, I thought that mine were too old for them now so I’m so glad of the new range! xx
These look ideal for keeping in your bag for snacks! I love the look of the cookies (for me!) and the oaty fingers for Eleanor.

My kids love snacking too. We are fans of Ella’s Kitchen.
They are fab aren’t they? So handy for days out too! xx
Yes I think the convenience of them is one of the things I love the most. It’s great that we can grab healthy snacks! xx
Thank you Claire! xxx
Yep my kids are always hungry too! Zach now points to the biscuit barrel and shouts at me to get him something. I haven’t tried any of Ella’s new range but will look out for them at the supermarket
Ahh I’m sure he would love these! Kids are always hungry but then so am I! xx
Oh I didn’t realise Ellas Kitchen did these types of snacks.
They are a new snack range for toddlers, such a great idea! xx
Perfect snacks for the kids. At least we know what they are eating. Like that rain+oats cookies.
The cookies are delicious! xx

Ahh thank you so much. xx
They do look like snacks that toddlers would enjoy. I am happy they are organic snacks so I won’t be worried about kids having too much of it. The cheese and leeks crunchy wheels sound delicious to me!
They are lovely! I usually think toddler snacks are so bland but I liked the crunchy wheels! xx
Omg your kids are soooo adorable! Well, my kids are not the only ones always hungry at home but the mom as well. Lol the snacks packaging looks great so I bet it taste good as well. Although I don’t think that brand is already available in our country.
Thank you! Kids are always hungry, especially when we are out and about! Ahh hopefully Ellas Kitchen will make it over to your country soon! xx
Oh my boys love Elle’s snack treats, they are so great to take out on a picnic or after school X #brilliantblogposts
Yes I love how convenient they are! xx
Tell me about it with the always hungry. Going to try this with my girls x
Parenting is a hungry job! xx
Sebby loves these snacks – he won’t eat a pack of normal crisps, preferring these instead
Oh that’s good! They are much healthier choices! xx
First time I hear about these snacks. I have to look them up at my local grocery store, my little girl loves to have a snack in the afternoon and I like getting the healthy kind. thank you for sharing 🙂
Ahh thank you Pam. They are fab snacks! xx
These snacks look perfect for kids! I haven’t heard of this brand before.
They are a huge brand for babies, its great they have expanded their range to older children! xx
They are so cute! I am not a kid, but I am always hungry too. I think the raisin & oatmeal cookie will work for me hahahah http://www.clairebearblogs.com
Haha me too! xx
These look like such great (and healthy) snacks for kids, with a little something for everyone. Admittedly, I’d follow Eva’s lead with her cookies, while my husband would reach for crunch and salt like Megan. Definitely will look for these at the grocery .. thanks so much for your recommendation!
Thank you for reading Ali, I hope they do them where you are. xx
I’ve never heard of this brand before. Sounds like it would make for some awesome snacks. The Cheese & Leek crunchy wheels sounds really good to me.
They are delicious! I don’t normally like the childrens snacks but these were right up my street! xx
Little Man ate loads of Ella’s Kitchen when he was a baby but he’s so fussy these days. These look great though, I shall be seeing if I can tempt him! Thanks for joining in at #TriumphantTales, hope to see you back tomorrow.
Ahh they all go through the fussy stage, my 13 year old is still in it! xx
good review, clearly this is one awesome time out from the images, cute kids and sure good destination for some quiet relaxation time with loved ones. for kids these are lovely snacks idea.
Thank you, we love them! xx
Ellas Kitchen is our favourite and stays forever in my bag whenever we are out and about! So handy and tasty that the kids hardly say NO to it and leaves a mum happy.
Ours too, I am loving the toddler snacks! xx
