Wawa-Wee Syrups (Review)

Wawa-Wee Syrups (Review)

I was recently sent a bottle of Wawa-Wee Syrup from the owner, Nadia. As if the fun name isn’t enough to spark your curiosity, this is an organic fruit syrup free of high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors. This is something right up my alley! Clean, organic, and delicious. I was more than happy to try the product in a variety of applications.

Of course, I had to start with breakfast. I made some fresh belgian waffles and drizzled some of the peach syrup over some fresh sliced summer peaches and blueberries.

The syrup truly tastes like a summer peach and is surprisingly light. Its not overly sweet or heavy. The syrup is more fluid than most syrups, but any high quality syrup free of corn syrup and sugar as the main ingredient will be similar. The focus here is the flavor of the fruit puree. And it is perfectly executed. The taste is bursting with fresh peach and as a mom, I am happy to know its not from sugars and artificial flavors but from an actual peach. I love this product and its clean ingredient list.  I also add it to my plain greek yogurt, on top of frozen yogurt, or in my upside-down peach cake! I have two little ones who are quite picky eaters, and they absolutely loved this! I got them to eat greek yogurt every day this week, because a small tea spoon of this perfectly sweetens and balances the tart flavors of the yogurt. They are asking for it at dinner now too!

Another wonderful thing about this syrup, aside from its true and delicious peach flavor, is its social purpose. Every bottle you buy helps support an orphan in need. Food with a social purpose is a new breed of super-foods. Super heroes, if you will. Thank you for being so health conscious and socially responsible, Wawa-wee.
