Puree in a Pouch

(Source)

When we were in England B&P had some fruit puree in awesome little pouches with a spout called Pom Potes for little M. They let Eden have some and I fell in LOVE because they're easy to take along, no spoon required, and she can actually feed herself (if you can keep her from taking it out of her mouth and squeezing it all over herself…). Anyway, apparently that brand is only available in France. Devastating, I know... But this morning during breakfast I did a little digging, and lo and behold, there are actually similar products available in the US!

The same company that makes the Pom Potes makes an American version, called GoGo Squeez.

And another company makes a version called Smashies which I can buy at Whole Foods! Yay!

I will check them out at let you know how they stack up - B&P were so gracious as to send us home with some Pom Potes, and I will certainly be heading to Whole Foods to pick up some Smashies.

Has anyone out there tried these things? M is 2 1/2 and still loves them (and asks for them by name - so cute!) so I think they're going to be useful for many, many years (I could even see putting these in school lunches).

interesting! I want to try them...i'll have to look for them at Whole Foods.

Also, I figured out how to make the middle column of your blog a different, plainer color, so that you could read your posts better. Let me know if you are interested in something like that (i changed this website to test my sister's new template but i could make you something like that, too, if you'd like)

Yes! Our favorite coffee shop sells Smashies. We've never tried them with Ev but need to as his attention span diminishes quickly! Aren't they the smartest lil' snack for our lil'beings!

Happy Mama's Day week to you sweet friend. We miss you loads!

So glad you guys liked them! They are life-savers for us! I am going to bring an entire suitcase back when I come home! You are so funny blogging about this!

You know, I brought an extra box because I wanted to send them home with you! Brian told me I was being silly, but I said they were really useful and I wanted to make sure there was enough!

Cool! You'll have to let me know how Eden likes them!

fyi, I saw something JUST like this at Stop and Shop today. It was like applesauce in the squeeze tube. I don't know if it was the same but it was in the organic section.
