Mott's - Harvest Apple Applesauce Plus Calcium Review

What a great idea! Mott's has put calcium in their applesauce and my kids will actually eat it.

Mott's Harvest Apple Applesauce Plus Calcium is an all-natural snack with no sugar added. It is also gluten free, casein free, soy free, and corn free. That's great news for a mom who has children with multiple food sensitivities. Applesauce is a great source of fiber, and I often use unsweetened applesauce in place of butter or margarine in my recipes since my children also have GERD (reflux).

The calcium-plus line also comes in two additional flavors: cranberry and pomegranate.

These come in 4-packs of 3.9 ounce cups. That's good and bad news. The good news is that they are easy to pack and go, which is essential for a mom on the go with three children. The bad news is that the four pack costs as much as the regular six packs from Mott's. It would also be great to have a large jar for an option on this since we go through applesauce by the truckload around here.

The best news for me is that I have finally found something with calcium that my pickiest eater actually enjoys. I pack these in her school lunch nearly every day, and she actually eats them nearly every day. Hurray!

My Viewpoint:

Mott's has made it a bit easier to get my kids to eat calcium. I would like to see them list the product as gluten free and casein free to save time from researching their products, but at least this product is gluten free and casein free. Perhaps as more companies create calcium alternatives, the price will come down as well.
