Super Sprowtz – VEG-ucation made easy {Review & Giveaway} (Closed)

By

"Healthy Eating", "Family and Life in Las Vegas", "Children's Books", "Vegetables" "Super Sprowtz"Everyday when I make my son’s meals, I am constantly trying to find a fun healthy balance. Did he have enough Veggies today? (He always has enough fruit, there hasn’t been a fruit he has turned down yet!) Did he get enough protein? Does he have a healthy amount of fat in his meals? He liked carrots yesterday, but refused them today…Honestly, I have gotten lucky with a baby who will eat almost anything. He loves Broccoli (or Trees), he enjoys spinach, he likes raw and steamed carrots, he loves sweet potatoes, he will eat asparagus. For now. I think he eats them because I eat them. I have always enjoyed veggies. Even at an early age. I just hope I can keep his interest in eating healthy.

That’s why I am super excited to have the opportunity to review Super Sprowtz.

I (Rahda Agrawal) founded this company – with these fun and engaging veggie superhero characters – because I passionately believe moms need better tools to help their young children build honest and healthy relationships with healthy food.  My full bio is online, but a quick overview — my background includes:  fitness instructor, organic restaurateur in New York City (I own 2 organic restaurants with my twin sister), film and TV producer for 10 years, and lifelong food enthusiast.
I have just launched the first Super Sprowtz book series with more products coming soon.  The Super Sprowtz characters each have a super power, based on their nutritional content.  For example, Colby Carrot has Super Sight and Brian Broccoli is Super Strong.  Kids follow these characters on fun, action-packed journeys that entertain – AND educate.  I have spent hundreds of hours with moms, kids, educators and nutritionists — reading, playing with the characters, and talking about food.  The response has been amazing – kids developed new interest in healthy vegetables, and moms no longer had to hide veggies in other foods.

We had the opportunity to review Brian Broccoli is Super Strong. What I like about it is that there are many different parts to the book.  Which is great when you have a younger toddler like mine who’s attention span is limited.  He will let me read a bit, and then he wants to read a bit.  Check out this video I took of me reading it to Squishy.

He actually said BrocBroc, and now after reading this book, he made the connection to it so that when I give him Broccoli he says BrocBroc!

There are even recipes and biographies of characters.  And the “villains” are great!

We have a blast reading this story, even if my son only has the attention span to sit for a little.  I still know he is getting it!  The idea to turn veggies into superheros is a wonderful way to start your child out on the right eating path.

I will definitely be purchasing some of their dvds and more books for my son.  I love the concept, and it really came to life perfectly. Toddlers and Preschoolers will love reading, watching, participating, and eating about their favorite vegetables.
