SmartyPants Vitamins: HUGE Nutrition, HUGE Taste

The vitamin routine in our family used to be inconsistent at best, and non-existent at worst. It's hard to find kids' vitamins with quality ingredients, a good balance of nutrition, at a fair price point. I would occasionally buy something that seemed to hit all the marks, but then my kids wouldn't like taking them. The vitamins would end up expiring and I'd research new options and start over again. In the meantime, I DID consistently give the kids liquid fish oil, because it's important to me that my kids get Omega 3 EPA and DHA for brain health.

Enter SmartyPants Vitamins. I have to thank Santa (yes, THAT Santa) for originally introducing us to this brand of vitamins. When they ended up under the tree last year, my kids were happy to try the yummy looking gummies with the cute owl logo. The taste test was a success, possibly partly due to Santa's power of suggestion, but mostly due to the fact that these vitamins are DELICIOUS. 

After researching SmartyPants, I realized the jolly old elf really knows his stuff when it comes to vitamins. The Kids Complete SmartyPants gummies pack in a lot of nutrition, with a focus on those nutrients that are hardest for people to get in their diets, including Vitamins B12 (for mental clarity and energy balance) and D3 (for bone health), AND the important Omega 3 DHA and EPA. These quality nutrients are sustainably sourced and free of GMO, synthetic/artificial dyes and preservatives, gluten, and most common allergens.

But where to find these marvelous vitamins? I was worried they might only be available at the North Pole. Not to worry...SmartyPants vitamins were easy to find at Target, Sprouts, Walgreens, CVS, and now Costco (among other locations, click HERE for details)! In fact, SmartyPants Vitamins come in bottles of 180 at Costco (the typical bottle is 140-count)...a HUGE bottle to match the huge nutrition and huge taste of these great little vitamins!

SmartyPants have definitely become the vitamin of choice for our family (you can read my previous review of the Adult Complete Vitamins HERE). We have been excited to continue to sample SmartyPants products through their partnership with Macaroni Kid, and we are thrilled to learn about the larger sized bottles. I do hope Santa has that size at the North Pole...but in case he doesn't, I know I can run to Costco to get some SmartyPants for under the tree this year!

I received a bottle of SmartyPants vitamins and compensation in consideration for this review. All opinions are my own.
