Gouash

Here at yoyomama we’re suckers for packaging, so during a recent excursion to the grocery store our eye was caught by Gouash. It’s an all-natural fruit spread packaged like a tube of paint. Mums will be swayed by the fact that it has no added food colouring or preservatives. Your kids will be won over by the idea of “painting” their toast. And for $3.99 per tube why not buy all three flavours (Blueberry, Apple & Strawberry) and let your budding Picasso loose at the breakfast table?

You can find Gouash in Vancouver at IGA, Whole Foods in West Vancouver, Urban Fare and Nester’s Market. And if you’re getting your “mama” on the Island you can find it at Bombora Gifts in Sooke.

Nice to know: A portion of the proceeds are donated to the Breakfast Club of Canada.
