love being able to make him fresh purees and smoothies so I can control the ingredients. Plus, have you seen how tiny some of the pouches are now? And they’re still almost $2 for a crazy small amount of food that H can suck down in .2 seconds flat, and then he’s left begging me for “mo poush? Pees! Mo poush!”. After I blend the green smoothie, I fill up all of H’s reusable food pouches and stick about half of them in the freezer. Don’t get me wrong, we still occasionally buy him pouches from Target and Amazon because they are awesome on days when adult-ing is hard and / or H has started refusing foods again, but Ibeing able to make him fresh purees and smoothies so I can control the ingredients.

I also think making green smoothies at home is kind of a fun thing to do together with H. I let him throw the ingredients into the NutriBullet after I’ve chopped them up, and sometimes, when he takes a break from smashing and throwing all of the things, he’ll sit still long enough to help me hold the reusable food pouch while I pour in the green smoothie or puree.

so much easier. I can throw them in my purse or diaper bag and I don’t have to worry about anything leaking, and I can take multiple pouches with me if I know we’re going to be out for a while. We normally stick to Nuby’s Wash or Toss Straw Cups when I make him green smoothies at home, but I prefer pouches for when we’re on the go, as they aremuch easier.
