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 I 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!”.
 
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. 
 
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 are 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 used to have another set of awesome reusable food pouches that I bought about a year ago, but unfortunately, I left several in the trunk of our very hot car this summer and didn’t discover my mistake for over a week. I knew I had gotten my money’s worth at that point, so I made the executive decision to toss the forlorn pouches out and grab some new ones off Amazon (thank you super speedy free Prime shipping!).

Our previous set had the spout on the side, which I had a love / hate relationship with, so this time, I decided to try out a reusable pouch that had the spout on top. I thought all of the color choices of these reusable food pouches from Basics Best were super cute, and since H is currently obsessed with ‘apple’ ‘ohnge’ and ‘sawbeyyi’ that the 6 oz ‘balloon’ ones would be perfect for him. They are really really easy to use and refill, and the bottom zipper hasn’t let me down yet – even after multiple freeze and thaw cycles. All I do when H is done with his pouch is rinse it out in the sink, slide it over a few of the rungs on the top shelf of my dishwasher, and I’m good to go.

What one of these would you try first?
