As a mom who's always on the hunt for healthy snacks, I was excited to try Serenity Kids Puffs. The organic cassava base and added bone broth protein sounded like a nutritional win for my 8-month-old.

The puffs dissolve easily in saliva - perfect for toothless babies! My little one mastered the pincer grasp while munching on these during car rides. The tomato & mushroom flavor introduced new savory tastes without any sugar rush afterwards.

I appreciated the clean ingredients until reading about potential heavy metal contamination. While my child didn't have reactions, the Lead Safe Mama findings gave me pause. The Fair Trade certification is admirable, but shouldn't safety come first?

At nearly $5 per bag, these are pricier than conventional puffs. They do last awhile since babies eat them slowly, but the cost adds up for frequent buyers.

Bottom line: Great concept with questionable execution. Might be worth trying if heavy metals aren't a concern for your family, but proceed with caution and monitor for reactions.
