Fast Food That Won’t Hurt You

February 24, 2010; 6:00 am by Joyce Slaton

chicken-and-sweet-potato.jpgIt’s 6 p.m. and the kids are screaming they’re hungry before you even throw your keys on the counter. What, oh what are you going to be able to whip up in a just a few minutes that they’ll eat and won’t fill you with a paroxysm of guilt? Note: a bowl of cold cereal, now matter how vitamin-fortified, need not apply.

The new Greenie Tots line of frozen meals are custom-made for the occasion. The meals come in three flavors: Stage One, purees for the bitty ones, Stage Two, self-feeding faves for toddlers, and Stage Three, heartier and more challenging meals for older kids (up to age 12). The meals are meatless, minimally processed, and contain no hormones, pesticides, or high-fructose corn syrup. And they’re good: we tried the apple and pear purees for infants. Both have strong, clear, natural fruit flavors. We also tried a Stage Two meal, a “chicken” (really Quorn), cheese, and spinach quesadilla with carrot ‘n’ pea-centric mixed vegetables on the side. The Quorn tasted like chicken, the spinach flavor was masked by the high-quality cheese, and the vegetables are fresh and zingy.

As of yet, Greenie Tots aren’t available in stores. Mail-order packages of six meals are available for $24-30 a pop, plus shipping, which is steep at about $20 and up. They have to stay frozen, you see. Visit greenietots.com for more information.
